Cardinal Gibbons on the PauIists.

In the course of his address after the
pontifical high mass on January %, in
New York, in honor of the golden jul
bilee celebration of the foundation of
the Paulist Order, His Eminence, Car
dinal Gibbons, admitted his debt to the
founder, Rev. Isaac Hecker.
The first time" said the cardinal,
that L had the privilege and the honor
of meeting the illustrious Father
Hecker, goes back probably farther
than most here remember-to the year
1854. At that time 1 was undecided
about my vocation. 1 was hesitating
whether L should go into the world, or
whether 1 should join the army of the
Lord. Those three great men, before
the Paulist Order was established, gave
a mission in a southern city where
lived. l was deeply impressed and the
memory of what they said remains to
this day. 1 see with my minds eye

genial expression of an innocent and

his fine presence and unrivaled voice
did everything for him. 1t is said he
had no ear for music, but his voice,
when speaking in public, was the most
musical that could be heard; great in
power and compass, rich in tone, ever
fresh in the variety of its cadence, it
was as unique and striking as the great
man TO whom it belonged; nor was the
charming brogue which accompanied it
the least of its attractions. Another adj
vantage possessed by him had not been
so much remarked upon-the rapidlt
changeful expression of his features.
BY observing O'ConnelTs face as he
spoke, one could be sure of the tone
and temper of what was coming. Was
he about to make an adversary ridicu-
lous by an anecdote or a witticism?

''The Holy Father loves his children

you know Rome is the parish of the
Holy Father" The delegate went on
to say that Catholics throughout the

he added, in explanation, there was
nothing else for the Holy Father to do
under the circumstances"
THE Holy Father" he continued,
takes pleasure in receiving men and
women from all parts of the world if
they come properly accredited, and by
that l mean if they have a letter from

which has gone broadcast that one
must act as a Catholic while in Rome
if they may hope to have an audience

The delegate then referred to the
methods of Methodists in Rome, and
said that Archbishop Ireland was right
when he said the means they adopted
in PROSECUTING Catholics were not hon.

that Bishop Cranston and other prelates
of the Methodist Episcopal church did
not regard the attack as one upon the
whole Methodist Episcopal body, and
he said he wanted to reiterate the state
ment. He said that he hoped it would
be understood everywhere by Profess
tants and Roman Catholics that the
charge of the archbishop was directed
against only the Rome Methodists.

World,s oldest Families

Families which trace their ancestry
through eight or ten generations are
counted old, yet they are mere fledg-
lings compared with some of the really
ancient families of the world.
The oldest family in the British isles
is the Mar family, in Scotland, which
traces its pedigree back to 1893. The
Campbells of Argyll began in 1890, Tai
leyrand dates from 1899, and Bismarck
from 1910. The Grosvenor family Chat

Irish VS.. Italian Method.

ThS'Rev. Stanford Culver Hearn, pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church, Workers, is relating a street
car incident which concerns a conduc-
tor, an Irishman and an Italian. Each
had given a dime to the fare taker, but
had received no change.

Neapolitan.
You've got your nick No more hicks
for you. See?" and the conductor
moved to the rear platform.
The italian sat meekly in silence, but
the Irishman employed different tao
ties. He went to the doorway.

to the conductor.
You've got all the change you're go

Father O'Brien,

At the patriarchal age of "a, the Rev.
John O'Brien, P. P, Holy Cross,
Thurles. Ireland, passed away. Father
O'Brien was ordained in 1S47, and dur
ing the famine years worked heroically
to alleviate the sufferings of the people
among whom his lot was cast. While
able he took an enthusiastic part in the
national movement for the betterment
of his native land. By his unassuming
manner and unselfish labors for the
spiritual and temporal welfare of his
flock he endeared himself to all. The
people of Holy Cross, of which parish
he was pastor for forty years, deeply
regret his death, although it took place
only when he had long passed the al
lotted span of life.
