slowed. Accordingly the celebration
must needs prove a long-drawn af-
fair. The series Of ceremonies was
opened in New York City some weeks
ago with a great reception at which
the Cardinal was presented by the
Paulist Fathers with a splendid repre-
sentation Of his coat Of arms-a me-
mortal that has been given place over
the Cardinals throne in the Cathe-
dral in Baltimore. Early in June
came a particularly notable popular
demonstration in the Cardinals home
city of Baltimore, in which all the
leading officials Of the nation were
participants. And SO the list Of COM
memorative functions will continue
until late in the autumn.
The concluding number on the pro-
gram Of the Cardinals double jubilee
will probably be the formal dedica-
ton Of the Cardinal Gibbons Memorial
Hall on the grounds Of the Catholic
University near Washington, D. Co.

ready been commenced and which 1t
IL planned to have completed In part
by October. The Memorial Hall will
be a monumental structure that will
cost at least 100000 and the funds
for which are being raised by popular
subscription throughout the country.
1t will occupy the most conspicuous
site on the vast University grounds

Cardinal Gibbons Jubilee takes on
an added measure OF importance be-
cause it is a double jubilee. If jubi-
lee is, according to the dictates OF
custom, the occasion for ceremonious
observance. what shall be said of such
an event as two-fold anniversary {?
Yet it should be Sid, in justice to the
Cardinals simple tastes. that all this
display Is not by his wish or COM
mand. Indeed, when the friends Of
the venerable head Of the church be-
gan preparations a year ago for COM
memorating the golden jubilee Of his
ordination to the priesthood and the
silver jubilee Of his elevation to the
position OF Cardinal he expressed the
hope that there would be as little dis
play as possible. 1t was only when
desire to pay him honor that His
Eminence relented and approved the
more elaborate plans.
1t became manifest early in the
preparations that 1t would be imprac-
ticable to contine the observances to
the eventful date Of June 80 or even
restrict them to q week. inasmuch as
a number Of different cities all over
the country desired to do honor to
the distinguished wearer Of the Red
Hat and each desired, of course,
that the Cardinal be present to

to think Of it, a particularly appro-
pirate permanent tribute, considering
the Cardinals deep interest in this
seat Of learning and what he has ac-
complished for its upbuilding.
This weeks double jubilee-the first
event Of the kind ever celebrated in
this country-will be followed in July,
on July % to be exact, by another
significant anniversary that will add
interest to the prolonged celebration.
This other anniversary will come with
the Cardinals attainment Of the sew
enty-seventh milestone in a very active
life. In some respects the Cardinals
birthday anniversary-althou in
creasing attention has been paid to
it as the years have passed over his
heads fully as notable as the jubi-
lee itself for the reason that it serves
to call attention to the remarkable
vigor manifested by the eminent
churchman despite his increasing age.
Thanks in great part, no doubt, to
his simple and systematic mode Of
life, he is 30 well preserved and 50
energetic mentally and physically that
no person meeting him casually, and
unaware Of the facts in the case would
be likely to guess his age as within
ten years Of the actually.
