On his way to the cornerstone laying
in the afternoon the president stopped
by st. Mary's Catholic school and from
the steps of that institution made
brief address to a yard full OF boys and
girls. Taft was presented by Arch
bishop Christie, and after congratulat-
ing the children on their rosy cheeks
and "chubbiness." said
Your church teaches that loyalty to
God is the same as fidelity to country
and reverence for constituted authority,
and so do all good churches.
And we can be very certain that
those who are loyal to their church are
certain to be loyal to their country;
that those who are good Catholics are
good citizens, just as those who are
consistent members of other churches
find in the doing OF their duty to the
church eevrything that leads them on
to the uplifting of humanity and the
observation of all the obligations to
government"
