These words OF Cardinal Gibbons are
worthy OF remembrance for they tersely
state an undeniable proposition: MAY
the friendship subsisting between France
and America. a friendship coeval with
our history as a nation. a friendship to
which we owe our very existence as an
independent sovereign power-may this
historic friendship be perpetuated. May
the two great republics of the world go
hand In hand in the march OF liberty, and
progress and civilization, and may the
monument erected TO Rochambeau in the
capital of the nation ever remind the
American citizen who will contemplate
II OF the everlasting debt OF gratitude
which the United States owes France"

transferred TO Providence with mutual
advantage to that city and to the insti-

a Congregational centre but the state
has a considerable representation of that
denomination within its borders, the city
stands second In New England In size and
Importance, the state possesses no theo-
logical seminary, and the city offers many
educational and literary advantages in
the form of college atmosphere already
emanating from Brown university and
ample library facilities. The theological
students would find there better en-
vironment for the study OF life and social
conditions than can be found a Andover
and the seminary would bring to the city
a well established educational institution
with a long and honorable history. and
would add felicitously to those already
grouped in the centre of the city."-New-
