 New York. May 31.-Cardinal Mar tinelli was the guest of honor of the Catholic club last night, at q recep- ton in the club house. The exercises decorated profusely with American flags. At the head of the room were an American and Papal lag.
 The cardinal entered the room at 9 o'clock, with W. Mantius. Following them were Archbishop Corrigan, A. c. Reggie, John A. Sullivan, president of the club; Bishop Farley, Bishop Mo- Donell, Vicar General Mooney, Mgr Barrett, Father John N. Connolly and Bourke Cochran.
 The cardinal took his place at the end of the room and the guests filed by and paid their respects. The pres entation occupied a full hour. The clergy knelt and kissed the ring worn by the cardinal and knelt again to kiss the ring of the archbishop. The entire time the cardinal wore the little round red cap known as zuchetta and the black habit of the Augustin- ian order.
 A string band gave such uneccIe- siatical airs as t.Just Because She Made Them Goo-Goo Eyes, At 10 D. m. there was bugle call com manding silence, and the assemblage arranged itself as we'll as it could to hear the speaking.
 President Sullivan delivered the formal welcome to the cardinal. .tWe are Americans, proud of our country and it's diberties." said he, ssand we are proud of the fact that under the con- stitution of the United States religion is privileged to exercise it's benign in fuence free and untrammeled.'
 The cardinals reply was brief. His voice is not strong, and although he pronounced his words distinctly there was somewhat of foreign accent to make it somewhat difficult to under stand him at distance. He has. odd 1y enough, a slight brogue. due to his Irish priest. The cardinal expressed his great qualification at the reception accorded to him.
 ssIt gives me great pleasure to hear your president express such senti- ments of loyalty to your great nation as we'll as of loyalty to the church. ' said he, "for honestly think that no man can be loyal to his country who is not also loyal to God and religion"
 Bourke Cochran was the chief speak Fer. He said it was with the most in tense satisfaction that he had heard the cardinal speak about loyalty. The members of the club were in the high est and strictest sense Americans of the Americans. Addressing the cardi- nal directly, he went on:
 fYou have referred to the marvel ous resources and prosperity of this country, and am sure you will seek to know the. reason for that prosperi- ty. Our resources are great indeed. Our rivers would float the argosies of the world. Our hills are veritable treasure houses of mineral wealth. Yet our prosperity does not depend upon our natural resources alone It is industry and the genius of civiliza- ton which have brought about the change Our measureless abundance has come through that liberty and freedom which is the possession of every American citizen.
 Whence is the origin, where is the root to be found of that principle of equality? Is it the teachings of Jef- ferson or in the sublime patriotism of Washington? Is 1t in the constitu- ton, which has proved our inyiolable security for liberty?
 "No the seed was sown by the 1 shores of Lake Ga1ilee. when the Son of Man taught that all men here are equal and stand equal forever. That truth we Catholics believe was deliv- cred to our church. We recognize that l flag which is displayed about us here as being surely the fruit of the teach | ings of Galilee as the cross is the di- vine emblem of the religion in which is to be found the origin of our lib erty."
