New York upon the occasion OF his jubi-
lee in which l endeavored TO point out
the logical right OF the Pope's authority
and his infallibility. He took up this
theme. saying how deep was his thank
fulness 10 the hand which continued to
sustain him In fulfilling his great duties.

tion of responsibility increased.

on the humblest member OF the church,
with bowed head and wonderful hu-
mility." continued Mr. Cochran, ''he por-
trayed the impersonality with which he
tendows his great authority. referring to-
which His Holiness said: Il only exercise
IL I'm the hope TO save mankind by point
ing TO the road of salvation already mark
