Protestant Episcopal Church in the
North, in which the conclusion is reach
ed that "the chief executive is as neces-
sary for the church as for the nation. "
1t is asserted that the history of Chris
tianity justifes it and the experience of
every organization demonstrates its ne
cessity. 4, thinks Christendom should
be unified and could have a head with
inealculable help, provided that head
should be constitutional and repre-
sentative one. In fact, it thinks it is
more dangerous for the church not to
have a head. The Episcopal Church
has existed 10 these many years without
any visible head, and most Of its men,

regret to see such position created
now. No spiritual good would come

ArrivaI of Cardinal Gibbons

New York, Sept. 22.-Cardinal Glib
bons, of Baltimore, returned on the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, to-
day, from his trip to Rome to participate
in the election OF the new Pope. A del
egation of priests and laymen from Bal
timore went down the bay on revenue
cutter to greet him and welcome him
home to Baltimore where public recep-
ton awaits him. Heading the delega-
ton was Rev. DR.. Stafford, of the Cath
Ole University at Washington. The
Cardinal said the ocean trip had recuper
ated his strength which had been greatly
taxed by a severe spell of fever, due to
the intense heat in Rome during the con-
claye. OF the new pontiff, the Cardinal
spoke in terms ofthe greatest enthusiasm.
He said that the choice of the conclave
had been most happy from an American
viewpoint, as Plus Y. was deeply inter
ested in the development of the church
in this country and that no radical
changes in American church administra'
ton would ensue. He said that one Of
the first steps taken by Plus was to in
struct his acting secretary of state to pro-
vide for an extensive exhibit of the
Vatican treasures at the Louisiana Pur'
chase Exhibition, at ST. Louis, next
spring.
