PLEASANT SPEECHES MADE


hierarchy. through the Catholic University
grounds to the steps of Mcmahon Hall,
where the cardinal pronounced the bene-
diction. 1t was an imposing demonstration.
bringing to fitting close the most notable
gathering of the clergy in the history of the
church in this country. Prior to the pro-
oession the business of the congress was
concluded by the passage of a resolution
embodying the results accomplished. A sig
nifcant feature Of the resolution was its
strong statement in favor of Sunday OBJ
servance, as practical means of sanctify-
ing the holy eucharist. The resolutions also
reaf1rmed full adherence to the declara-
tons of the third ecumenical conference at
Baltimore on the Sunday question, the chief
point in that declaration being that saloons
Corrigan of New York and other high pre-
lates were on the platform when this reso-
luton was read and unanimously adopted.
An Armenian Missionary.
Two sessions during the day were occupied
with the reading of papers concerning the
eucharist The paper of Rev. Joseph Yaz-
beck, the Armenian missionary, attracted
marked attention, owing to the Turko-Ar-
menfan riots and the efforts of Pope Leo to
return the eastern church to papal authori-
ty. Rev. Yazbeck said that of the 1900, 600
<ATHeHIdnS, only ABOUT lUO,OUO were allied
with the Catholic church. He doubted
whether 1t would be possible to bring back
the princes and patriarchs of the east. But
he pointed out that the separation was for
mai to large extent the only important
features being that the eastern church did
not acknowledge the supremacy of the pope.
1t had the Catholic mass and ceremony.
Hundreds of Armenians had said 20 him.
There is no real difference between us; let
the shepherds agree and we will follow" He
closed with an excellent exhortation that
the eastern church might be brought back
before Pope Leo's death, in order that the
pontiffs great desire might be accomplished
After reading his paper, Rev. Yazbeck
said to reporter that he believed the re-
ports of the riot in Constantinopie to result
from the desire to arouse the British to
acton. British warships were now In the
Bosphorus, and the reports of outrage would
doubtless stimulate England to decisive ac-
ton. He said that the massacre of Arme-
mans had been very great, rivaling to some
extent the massacre Of syrians by Turks,
where the number Of killed reached go 600.
The Tabernacle Society.
Bishop Horstman of Cleveland presented
the report of the superioress of the Taber-
racle Society, showing the extensive work
done by women in preparing vestments and
altar furnishings. Bishop Keane made a
similar report showing the work of WASH
tngton women in the same direction 1t
showed that the Ladies' Tabernacle of
this city had disbursed the very large sum
Of $4,000, had aided 30 churches and mis-
sions and had distributed 29,605 articles of
use in churches.
Rev. Walter Elliott of New York read the
resolutions agreed on. Resolutions of COM
pliment and thanks to the Catholic Uni
Versity were passed. and the congress closed
with the procession through the university
grounds.
AppOrtioninE Mission Funds.
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishops Ryan
ard Kahn, constituting a committee to
direct the funds for Indian and negro mis-
sion work, concluded their sessions today
A member Of the committee was authority
for the statement that the sessions were
confined to 4 consideration of the needs
of the several mission schools. After
working all day the apportionment was
completed. No question as to the status
or purposes of Monsignor Stephan, director

arportionment being made on the merit
ard needs of the several schools.
