FATHER CoRRIGAN's ADDRESS
He spoke of SatollI's coming 10 this
country, and the work he is performing
day after day. Continuing he said:-

less than the general supervision OF the
/ Catholic Chuich in the United States.
Then were those in Italy among the
princes of the Church who looked on the
choice of Satolli with surprise. and
thought that one from their own great
historical families would add more splen-
dor TO the mission, and be more accepta-
BILE to the great republic of the West.
The Pope showed wonderful tact aud
wisdom in the choice he made. for 1t was
Satolli's great simplicity of character tina
gtined for him the heart of America,
which never could have been reached by

of any prlncely family. Such u man
would be absolutely the wrong man for

prejudice not only among Professionals,
but even Catno les.

and this was a more serious oue, for iJ

but from the majority of Its rulers. This
was IN q certain sense a natural conss-
quence of the coming of any delegate,

traordinary power with which the
bishops had been entru ted by Rome,
and confined them to their ordinary

were ouly to have one. This created
feeling, for it is natural to men
to wish to retain power. and natural
for distinguished citizens of q great
republic whose mere word is absolute
law, to manifest some humanity when
they find an humble stranger from a dis

ceremony, of all their extraordinary DOW
