Following-is the address of w. H. Ros-
sfngton which was the principal one Of
the evening:
Right Reverend Bishop-In de-
volving upon me the high honor OF
Knights of Columbus. / was told that
on this memorable occasion by me IN
their name was to be written and read
to you. 1 earnestly hope that this
formality may not in the slightest de-
gree detract from the warmth and
whoIeh eartedness of the message 1
was commissioned to deliver to you on
this, your first visit to the capital
city of Kansas since YOUR consecra-
ton as bishop of this diocese.
1T is not long ago since I. as the
guest of the Knights of Colubus at
the banquet given in your honor at
the Midland hotel In your old home
was a witness of the high respect and
affection in which you are held by
Catholics and non-Catholics alike in
that city where your active life had
heretofore been so usefully and hon
Orably spent I can never forget the
eloquent and sincere tributes that on
that occasion were paid to you, not
only by Arch bishop Glennon, who re-
ferred to the fact that he had worked
side by side with you as parish
priest in that city of marvellous
growth. but by nOn-Catholics like
Hon. William Warner and ex~Mayor
Reed. They were all to one purpose;
namely. to testify not only to your
devoted assiduity in your sacred call
ing as a priest but to your admirable

zen and as man.
These tributes were not mere lip
service. as any one there present
could see and feel. They were not
/ inspired by and addressed to your
new dignity in the church alone, al
though that was not wanting in full
| measure; but they were all pitched
upon one key. and that was that
I though qualification was felt that your
great worth had been recognized by
the Holy Father in Rome, it was
mitigated by deep regret that your
new duties would call you to another

and distinguished in the sight of man.
life so blameless from the earliest
youth as to evoke such an universal
tribute of affection and esteem from
a whole community, and that, too,
long before the years had furrowed
your brow or left their snow flakes
upon your hair.
Neither can ever forget your
brief and heartfelt response made
while struggling with the emotion YOU
could not conceal Especially you
spoke with pride and fondness of your
native state of Missouri and in sucn
terms that I could fancy that there
passed before your vision the school
house around which you played, the
woods in which as a boy you hunted
squirrels, or the liInpid streams along

ly, and that your home would be

at any time look over upon the scenes
of your former activities But none
the less, we of Kansas who were pres
ent were fully assured that no earthly
affection would lessen the zeal which
you would give to the labor in the
new vineyard committed to your
charge 1t is our great good fortune
that you have been called to enter
upon your work in this. the present
diocese of Kansas, in the very prime
of your life and that we shall have
the benefit of the single hearted en-
ergy with which you have met every

church under your direction will ad-
vance correspondence the best in
terests of the state. I have no doubt
that you will follow the course you
have thus far pursued, which I be-
lieVe has marked you for your high
preferment; that is that your rela-
tionship to your Diocese and all who
abide therein will not be narrow and
parochial. but will be broad and in
elusive within the proper restrictions
of your office in relation to all things
making for the welfare and moral
betterment of all the people
1.-THE duties of a bishop are neces-
sarily largely administrative, and it
is fortunate for us that you have al
ready served long and successful
apprenticeship in that line. We who
are past the meridian, with the Shad-
ow of the dial lengthening to the
eastward cannot hope to see the need
and fruition of your work But we
can safely prophesy, however, that the
future historian of Kansas will have
large reason to say that your coming
to us was not the only good thing for
the Diocese and the church, but is
was especially a good thing Tor Kan
sas in its highest and best estate. And
we may further prophesy that he viii
be warranted in saying that the day
of your coming should be marked with

God-speed and all strength to con-
tinue in the arduous labors that lie
before you.

To these addresses Bishop Lillis re-
sponded collectively. He stated in the
course of his remarks. which were en-
drely imprOmptu, that it gave him a
great deal of pleasure to meet the
people of Topeka and especially the
members Of his parish. He felt espe-
cially grateful for the expression of
the medium of the reception and
trusted that there would be a con-
tinuance of that feeling in the future
as his work brought him in closer re-
lationship. not only with his own
parishioners, but the citizens of the
town as well. He trusted that he
would so conduct his Office as bishop
Of this diocese that it would merit a
heartfelt welcome as strong in its
qualities as was marked last evening.
q. J. Devlin made the briefest speech
of the evening. He said, While we are
very glad to have Bishop Lillis in
charge of this diocese we would be bet
ter pleased if he would live in Topeka
which is nearer the center of the do
cese."
Mayor Bergundthal speaking in be-
half of the welcome extended by the
city paid a marked tribute to the work
of the Catholic church in this commun-
fly and especially so with reference to
the guidance of that work under the
skillful hands of Father Hayden.
With the conclusion of the addresses
the reception took place and audience
pressed forward to meet the bishop
introduced by Father Hayden. In this
manner the greater part of those pres
