America. he said was retrograding as a
nation, and the chief Of these points was
divorce.

cancerous growth
Many Hear Cardinal.
Cardinal Gibbons has ever been bitter
in his denunciation of divorce, and all

against it. His sermon to-day, which
was on The impertshable influence Of
Christ" was heard by the regular con-
greg1tion. augmented by hundreds Of
persons from all over the city who came
to the Cathedral to hear the cardinal
give his monthly sermon
Preceding his scoring Of divorce. the
cardinal said, in part:
As . nation. are we retrosrading In.

points We are retrograding. i am proud
Of America, and love and cherish her,
ana am rather optimistic than pessi.
n,istic over her future. We glory in her
wealth, her education, her sciences, her
laws.
