met by some country people, who showed
him those marks of respect by which
men are won't to express their respect u
reverence for greatness and holiness of
character. The Saint, perceiving that his
companion was astonished and even
scandaiized that his superior should have
accepted the homage without a rebuff.
took occasion to remind him that the
good naIured people meant to honor, not
Francis of Assist, but the person OIL CHRIST
in His minister.
Likewise the magnificent demonstri-
ton OF yesterday, rendered on my ar
rival, was not IN honor of Franc Satolli.

so hig an office. Yesterday the people
of this historic city, where the battle was
fought that turned the tide of your great
Revolutionary War, without distinction
of creeds. demonstrated their respect and
LOYALTY to Leo XIII. Today tue clergy of
Trenton gathered around their bishop,
gave a notable proof of the unity that ex-
lists in this diocese and of the spirit that
animates them toward the Holy See and
Its representative. This solemnlty is ptoof
that the Apostolic Delegation means the
