witness the spectacle At the juno
tiom of two of the principle streets
IN the business part of the city a
magnificent triumphal arch had
been erected, representing the front
Of a cathedral, elaborately and
tastefully ornamented with flags.
Over the broad arch of the entrance
was displayed the single word "Wel-
come that being the only inscrip-
I ton. Beneath this arch the pro-
cession passed, and then across
Straight river and up the long hill
| to the plateau where both the church
schools and those of the state are

The drive was arranged so as to
pass all of the state schools At the

LUNCHEON SERVED.
After the party had finished their in
spection of the premises, everybody
was invited to the armory, where
bountiful lunch was served by the citi-
zens of Faribault. This was the crown
ing act of hospitality on the part of the
city, and was by no means the least
appreciated, for the ride in the bracing
air had given the guests a keen appe-
tite. After the repast was ended Bish-
op Whipple introduced Mayor Sheffield
as and old Shattuck boy, who gave
the address of welcome as follows:
| Right Reverend Sirs, Ladies of the
| Auxiliary and Gentlemen of the Con-
vent-on: Our city is always glad to
| open wide its gates tc, any representa-
| tive BODY OF men, coming from where
ever and engaged in wha tever profess
sion tending to the advancement of
mankind. OF the many gatherings,
| religious, educational, fraternal or po-
nt1cal, It has been our good fortune to
entertain, none have been received
more gladly than We now welcome you.
| speak for every resident of Faribault,
assure you of our hearty appreciation
| of the honor conferred upon our city
| by the presence of your distinguished
| body-men who represent the best
| anu In6 HlSn6SC dCQ16N6m6nI
of a great Christian denomination, en-
| gagged from the center to the confines
| of the republic in pushing forward the
| lines of higher Christian development
and a more progressive Christian civ
| ilization; men who are foremost, not
| alone III religious and ecclesiastical
| triumphS, but in every sphere where
intellect and nobility of purpose can
broaden and develop individual and
national life:
Our citizens of every denomina ton,
Protestants and Catholic alike, unite
| in bidding you a warm and hearty well
come that is not surpassed in eordiali-
| ty and sincerity by that felt and spoken
faith.
You can have no stronger passport
to the hearts of our people than that
you are here as the friends and asso-
| ciates of our illuStriouS townsman
the beloved and venerable bishop of
Minnesota.
Some of our citizens remember that
rainy day in February, nearly thirty
| six years ago, when they welcomed
and offered home to their first bishop
| then the youngest member OF the
house of bishops. Minnesota had just
changed from territorial to state laws,
| one-eighth of the population Indians,
| scarcely more than dozen churches
| and chapels in the entire diocese, these
| bluffs covered with the tepees of the
! Sioux and the Winnebagoes. Since
i that day the conservation of church
| and chapel has gone on until they
now number 160. Our Indian congresa-
tions are now double the entire number
! of self-supporting parishes then ir.-
| trusted to the young bishops care;
! these bluffs have been crowned with
institutions of learning. Do you won
/ der that these older citizens have a
special welcome for you who are here
! today to stamp this work with the ap-
! proval of the whole American church.
! They have lovingly watched through
! all these Nea he m9Ste"ly influence
and creations of that hand guided by
| unSelfiSh devotion, and sublime en-
| thusiasm for humanity, whether it be
| in Christianiz,ng and civilizing the red
men of the forest or in the building up
! of American manhood and woman
| hood through the medium of a high
moral and spiritual education.
On tablet in the choir of st. Paul's
ute to the builder, Sir Christopher
| Wrenn. / would place on these walls
a like inscription for the architect and
builder of these schools: If you would
| seek his monument, look around"
1t has been said in your convention
! that Chicago gave Bishop Whipple to
the church, and again, that New York
! gave him to the world. True-but Far
| ibauit is not enVious of the two great
est American cities for their we'll
! founded claims; she is satisfied that
| while she divides with them his great
! and abiding fame, no city can share
with her his love and attachment for
his home.
In a recent address of the bishop 1
! recall these words: q cannot close
! without paying my heartfelt tribute
! of love and respect to the craftsmen
! and laborers who have worked out our
! dreams into %Hese beautiful buildings.
! When my wor.- Isl over / would rather
! have one of these honest souls drop
tear on my grave than to have the
! proudeSt monument which was ever
erected by mani" 1t is this loving
thoughtful interest which has endeared
| him to our people, high and low alike
! 1t is not alone the bishop not alone
the churchman, but the man we love.
. We greet you, the friends and gener-
Gus patrons of ST. Mary's and Sea-
bury, hallowed with the memory of
Sarah Darlington and James Lloyd
Breck: of this school, blessed with the
lifelong devotion of Dobbin-the Dr.
Arnold of Shattuck-institution which
