Bishop Kcnrick,s Golden yubiIee.

On November 80, 1871, just fifty years
ago, Peter Richard Kenricl1. was conse-
Grated bishop OF the Roman Catholic
church. November 80, 1891. the fftieth
anniversary OF his conseoratlon, his golden
jubilee was celebrated at ST Louis, with a
pomp and glorifcaton that has never be-
fore been witnessed, excepting on the occa-
sion of the golden jubilee of Leo Kill
The celebration was made grand for the
reason that Archbishop Kenrick is among
the foremost men In the church; because
of his sterling qualities and purity OF
character. Only once before has the golden
jubilee of q bishop been celebrated, that
Of John McHale, archbishop OF Taum,
Ireland, eleven years ago. 1t is an event
so rare that the whole world is interested
in it, and in this case not simply because
such celebrations are infrequent, but be-
cause Archbishop Kenrick has filled these
fifty years with usefulness and good. and
were it not for the fact that on notable
occasion he incurred the dspleasure OF the
hoiy see by declaring boldly his uDbelier
in the infalliblity of the Pope, he would
now he prince of the church. 1t Is re-
lated in connection with the above that
had he not virtually defed tho head of the
Roman church he would have been created
a cardinal long before this.
