upon finishing his address, the newly
made cardinal, who. up to this time
had worn the robes of an archbishop,
retired to the inner sanctuary and in
rev minutes returned clad in the gor-
geous apparel of a cardinal He was
Seen In these but few moments, how
ever, as he was almost Immediately
robed in the white and gold vestments
of the mass, which he was to cele-
brate,
Assisted by his priests and deacons,
he proceeded with this amid the breath

When the Gospel was reached, NOV
able pulpit was pushed to the center
Of the auditorium, and Archbishop
Kahn. of ST. Louis, ascending 1t, deliv-
cred the sermon. The archbishop's
text was:
Let the priests that rule we'll, be esteemed
worthy of double honor especially they who
labor in the word and doctrine.-I. Tim, ".
After calling attention to the fact
that once before, In the Same church,
had O similar ceremony been perform
ed, when Mgr. Gibbons was raised to
the rank of cardinal, the archbishop
said,
eve Americans are justly proud Of cur re-
WINGED that it is the most perfect system
that has ever been devised for the preseFva-
ton and development of the inalienable
happiness, Hence, it is with no small degree
of pride that We recognize the striking re-
semblance between the constitution OF the
church and our republican tnstitutions."
W
chief ruler in the United States, as in the
Roman Catholic church, Is elective, yet not
by popular suffrage, but by an electoral col.
lege in the one case and by the college Of
cardinals in the other. He said also. that
tho college of cardinals is in the church
what the senate is in the United States.
He stated also that In the church. as IN the
reach Of all her sons, and the rule holds
good that promotion goes by fitness and pre-
ferment.

Cardinal Satolli, saying: 1.-The holy father,
who has watched the career Of his eminence
from boyhoods days, has not only ad-
mired him for his intellectual gifts, but
has loved him, because in him he has seen
a model of solid sacerdotal virtue. Are not
these good grounds for the sincere affection
which the holy father cherishes for him
Now these and the successful discharge of
his mission in America are, as l am well
aware, the reasons which have induced our
holy father to confer upon him the high
honors into which he is today, amidst this
glorious pageant, indicted"
Archbishop Kahn further said that Cor
dinal Satolli's promotion was not only q
recognition of his learning, but of the use
he had made of it, a fact which had not
escaped the notice OF pope who has had
few equals and no superiors as a pontiff of
vast and varied erudition and patron Of
letters.
