gifts and virtues of grace and nature. so
guarded, so pious, so zealous-these soon
united the suffrages of the prin cely electors.
On February 20. 1873, after only thrty-six
hours of eonclave, at the third scrutiny,
Cardinal Pecci was elected Sovereign Pom
tiff.
Since bis coronation his efforts have been
unweared.
Among his successful tasks have been
securing from Prince Bismarck the repeal
OF certain features of the so-called Falk
ecclesiastical laws in Prussia; resumlng
diplomatic relations with the Gar, great ly
to the benefit Of the Catholic church In Po-
land and other parts of Russia.
One OF Pore Leo's fondest and most ar
dent wishes has been to effect definite re-
Cancellation between the orthodox Greek
and Catholic churches, and 1t is held quite
possible that before he brings to a close his
brilliant and enlightened reign this cher
ished project of his may become realized.
Leo's insight enabled him to perceive that
France is now definitely committed to a
republican form OF government by the will
of its people, and accordingly he issued a
series OF pastoral letters and encyelicals In
preach from their pulpits obedience and
loyalty; with the result that there has been
during the past year or two distinct re-
vival OF religious feeling throughout France,
since the people have now learned through
the mouth of the Pope that 1t is possible to
be Catholic and a good and patriotic re.
publican at one and the same time.
The conflict between the Swiss Govern
ment and the Vatican, which was brought
about during the reign OF Plus TX, in the
expulsion Of the late Cardinal MermIllod
from the territory of the Helvetian repub-
lie. was also brought to a close by Leo
XIII. and the exied pre.ate was welcomed
back Of Berne again.
Leo's efforts have not been confined to
Europe alone. In 1886 he dispatched
| special mission to the Emperors Of China
aud japan and established friendly and
diplomatic relations with them. Through
out his reign so far the foreign policy OF
the papai government has been conducted
with rare aud enlightened statesmanship

him comforting him with wise counsels and
admonitions.
