The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-06-14

the clergy in the sanctuary, following
the archbishop, imposed their hands
upon the heads of the aspirants. Next
the archbishop readjusted their stoles,
so that, instead of it's being drawn be-
meath the arms, as deacon wears 1t,
the symbolic garment was made to
cross in front, as is the sacerdotal Gus
tom. He put on the chasubleS also,
but left them folded between the can
didates' shoulders Completing this
task the archbishop started to intone
the ''Veni Creator Spiritus;" and,
While the choir continued singing 1t,
he anointed, with the holy oils, the eX-
tended hands of the candidates and
bound the hands together, palm to
palm, with a ribband of linen. AS the
candidates received the oil they retired
to the sacristy.
Once more the candidates appeared,
holding missals from which they re-
cited, with the archbishop, the mass in
progress, beginning at the offertory.
Presently they were summoned again
before the archbishop to accept from
him the distinctive authority of priest
the right TO celebrate mass. Kneel
ing, the candidates, in turn, extended
hands to touch the special vehicles of
communicable host upon paten and
the chalice.
After this the young priests, their
elevation almost completed, Joined in
the current mass until the communion
was reached, during which they, and
the new subdeacons also, received the
host from the archbishop.
Receive the Complete Robes
Communion ended, the priests, again
two by two, sought the altar steps and
kneeled, that the archbishop might
impose hands" and then loosen the
fold in the back of the candidates
-ehasubles. With that vestment at full
length the young men We're wearing,
IN formal order, the complete robes
of their office
The candidates now fell back, but
competent to remain, they did not quit
the sanctuary
Within a little while their honors
were perfected. AS he was about to
begin the gospel, closing the mass, the
archbishop, before whom the new
priests had aligned, admonished them
in the eloquent phrases of the vener-
able ritual, setting forth the lofty task
of the priest, his duties in one world,
his reward in both.
The music of the mass was ''plain
chant throughout, except the quar-
tette, Jesus Dulcis Memoriae," at the
beginning, which was by Kothe, and
the closing quartette, 'Laudate Domi-
num-" by Eft. The organist was N.
Noes
After the ordination Archbishop Ire
land resumed his purple biretta, cape
and cassock, and the seminarians and
clergy returned in procession to the
administration building. The new sub
deacons and priests now wore with
modest pride the vestments they had
carried forth a few hours earlier.
No sooner did the procession dis
band and the new priests reappear
than they were sought, throughout the
seminary grounds, by hundreds of per-
sons eager to receive the choice first
blessings
Towards noon the students, the fac
ulty and visiting clergy, with certain
of the new priests who had not yet
started for their homes, met at the
aula n1axina. There DR.. Hebron, the
rector, read the s"cIass notes. or per-
centage standing, of the various stu
dents, and announced the award of
prizes. Among the graduating class
Rev. John ]. Harrington, of San Hran-
cisco, came first, with an uncommon
record in many branches. The next
highest rating was that of Rev. War
rem Watt, of Oregon City, Or.
Archbishop Addresses Young Priests
The applause that greeted Father
Harrington's name was redoubled
when Archbishop Ireland arose to say:
The marks just read are full of music
and poetry to some of you, but to others
they must be reproach. 1t must be ad-
mitted that there are differences of tai
ent, but it must also be conceded that
there are differences of energy. There
is latent talent in all men, but it must be
dug up. 1t won't do to let it remain
latent.
There must be work, hard and con-
scientious application, if you would
achieve anything. You must bring out
every talent you possess to win the
prize.
Some one has said that genius is work
and it is true. Those who achieve things
in life are those who labor and labor
hard. While would have you enjoy your
vacation, l wouldn't have you remain al
together idle. Do something Take#up
some subject in which you are deficient
and apply yourself l want the right ma
terlal in this seminary. l would sooner
have $50 good men than 200, some of
which is Indifferent material Those who
feel that they are not of the right ma
terial, let them step out. While you are
are and the institution you represent Be
always on your guard lest any scandal
be given. l congratulate you all and
pray God to bless you.
The visiting clergymen, most of
whom We're able to remain after the
exercises and dine with the archbishop,
included Revs. John O'Brien, LIE Sueur;
Francis Lenger, st. Cloud; Frank Eng
lish, Winona; J. Pork, Montgomery,
Mimi; Carlin, Saltwater; Laskowski,
