Archbishop COrrfgan's Sermon
When Archbishop Corrigan ascended to
the pulpit to preach the sermon every eye
was leveled at him. SO great was the de-
sire to See and to know him.
The text of the discourse was For every
high priest taken from among men is or
dained for men in the things that appertain
to God" (Epistle to the Hebrews, vi)
The archbishop said in opening:
"Eminence, some twenty odd years ago
YOUR immediate predecessor in this most
ancient see Of the United States reached
the silver jubilee of his priesthood. When
asked a day or two later how he had cele-
brated the event, he answered, BY an act
of thanksgiving during my mass and by an
act of contrition.' In the same spirit your
eminence would gladly have allowed the
twenty-ifth anniversary OF your episcopal
conservation to pass unnoticed by men. and
marked only by silent communion with the
lection of your devoted flock craved some
public expression OF their gratitude to God,
and their holy Joy on so notable an ami
versary, and they urged that If your
seem not to appreciate the ties that bind
them to their chief pastor, nor to honor
as they ought so memorable an epoch in his
life. With your accustomed gentieness, and
your desire to contribute always to the hap
piness of others, sacrificing your own wishes
to theirs, you have yielded to their pious i'm
portunity. STIMULATING only, when you did
me the great honor to invite me to say a
few words on this occasion, that the ad-
dress should be brief, and not assume the
character Of a panegyric."

bishop of the church. who is the shepherd
