Mgr. Falconio, through his secretary.
DR. Rocker, said that he could say nothing
more than was contained in his letter to
the Bishops. other than to express his own
great grief and dwell upon the greatness
of the Holy Father. DR.. Rocker, Bishop
of Jaro and for many years secretary Of
the Apostolic Delegation, made the follow
ing statement
"What is there to say? The Pope is dead.
The Church boasts long line Of illustrious
Pontiffs Leo XIII. will ever stand in their
foremost rank. His reign has been Won
derful one. He assumed the Pontifical
at a most critical moment. He hands il
TO his successor without a single loss and
with great gain. He has held the most
terrible stewardship which can be entrusted
to a human being. He has stood for
more than a quarter Of century before the
world as the Vicar of the Savior of man
kind. He has finished great work, and
now lays down an enormous burden. He
must have found his uppermost joy when
he heard his Master say, Well done, good
and faithful servant. Enter into the JOY
of the Lord

Leader In Thought. He Says.
Bishop O'Connor of the diocese Of
Newark. wien he heard Of the death Of
the Pope, said:
Men Of all religions and of none have
recognized In Pope Leo a scholarly and
sanity leader of thought. who by word
and deed has vindicated the title of the
See of Rome to the admiration and gratitude
of mankind In the brilliant encyclical
letters which were one of the chief glories
of his reign he fearessly exposed the false
principles which underlie many of the
boosted systems Of modern progress He
poi nted out with unerrin9 accuracy the
evils of socialism, Of divorce, of the ir-
religious training of youth. He had no
patience with the wild vagaries of those
who usurp the fair name Of Liberty as y
cloak for radicalism, revolution and anarchy
But, while condemnng in scathing
terms the errors Of our day, he WAS emf
nently fair TO all the legitimate ASPIRATIONS Of
the modern world. he admired its ideals
and showed that each contains a sub
stantial good worthy Of approval by God
and man.
His voice was always heard pleading
for peace. justice and charity among men.
and thus he won the esteem even OF those
most bitterly opposed to the doctrines Of
which he was the custodian and teacher.
As time goes it will be seen more clearly
that he was a man of genius as well az a
saint, and that, in the principles which be
SO Mcidly expounded and defended, will
he found the only remedy for the grave
social dangers which threateLd the peace
and happiness of mankind"

world this last fortnight kept vigil around
the Vatican, where the old hero battled
dramatically with grim death. is a nagnif-
cent tribute to leo, which nothing could
ever have evoked save unusual grandeur
of soul and unusual feats the offspring Of

divine. Made he was to win the hearts Of
men He was simple and loving child
in his intimate relations with people who
came into his presence; considerable and
tactful, sweet Of temper and kindliest of
word.
Leo made the Church known to the
modern world as she wished TO be made
known BY dint of wise words and acts
he tore to shreds the thick wells Of prejudice
and misunderstanding which, as the So
quence of strifes and controversies of CEN
turtles, had been hiding its features from
the eyes Of millions Of the non Catholic
world
He brought close 20 the Church the new
age of humanity and put beyond all doubt

tons of the age not only received counte-
nance from the Church, but had grown out
