Cardinal Gibbons, entered. Representa-
tives of the League Of the Good Shepherd
took places on each side of the church
entrance as the President reached the
church and acted as an esort.
The sermon was preached by Right
Rev. Patrick j. Donahue, Bishop of
Wheeling, and 1t was a notable one from
many points of view. He spoke of the
arbitration treaties between this country
and Great Britain and France pending
in the Senate, and expressed hopes that
the Senate would approve them, Il am
not able to state the influences at work
to withhold the ratification of these
treaties said the bishop. Il impugn no
mans motive, but 1 express the belief
that the great majority of the people OF
the United States want these treaties
ratified at the coming session Of Con-
gress, thus adding their moral weight
to the worldwide peace movement"
Referring to the Latin American re-
publics, the prelate paid high praise to
them for their effort in behalf and att-
tude toward international peace. Andrew
Carnegie came in for praise for his dona-
tons to The Hague and the Pan-Amer-
lean Union Building in this city. The
friction existing between capital and Ia
Dor was deplored by the preacher, who
said, in part: Let us not forget the
unending struggle between labor and
capital, the laws delay, and the attempt
of some to destroy the home and uproot
the social and moral order of the day.
A few years ago this cloud on the po-
litical horizon was no larger than
mans hand; to-day it may we'll give us
pause, and it is going to require pru-
dence and moderation and craftsmanship
to deal with these issues"
Shifting of Compass.
Bishop Donahue referred to the fact that
the needle ordinarily points true north.
But of late the needle seems going
westward in this country" he continued.
THE American people may lose their
heads for a time; they may be swayed
by so-called leaders, but in the end they
will turn, and the needle will point again
to the north of noble thinking and liv-
ing"
