Progress Reviewed by Car
dinaI Gibbons I'm
Sermon.

Last Sunday at Baltimore Cardinal
Gibbons referred in grateful terms
to the civic demonstration in his
by President Taft and leading mem
bers of the coordinate branches of
the Federal Government. Continu-
ing, he said:
"It is very natural that on an occa-
sion like the present 1 should indulge
in some "reminiscences. This is the
privilege of the old in which the
young can not share. All the priests
that were ordained for this diocese
with me, or before my time. have
long since passed away and all my
episcopal brethren with whom I be-
gan to labor after my conservation
forty-three years ago have gone to
their reward, with one solitary ex-
ception, and that exception is the
venerable Bishop of Kansas City.
Though I value the friendship of my
junior colleagues I feel a sense of
loneliness in the absence of my old
companions with whom I sat so
often in council and With whom I
labored so long in the vineyard of
the Lord. OF the seventy-two pre-
lates who attended THE council in
1884 all but nine have paid the debt
of nature"
The Cardinal here drew an inter-
esting comparison between the Cath
Ollie church in 1861 and its present
situation after half century, during
all of which time he has labored in
its ministry. ''In 1864" he said,
"the Archbishops and Bishops of the
United States numbered forty-eight.
The priests were 2,064. The number
of churches with priests attached was
2,042, and the Catholic population
was estimated at 100000. The
number Of Archbishops and Bishops
today in charge of sees amount to
|ninety-six. Just twice as many as
existed in 1861. The priests amount
Ito 1900, an increase of over eight
fold. There are 1880 churches,
NEARLY a seven-fild increase. We
have about fiften millions of church
members, eight times as many as ex-
listed in the United States in 1861.
But the progress of religion in our
country is to be estimated not only
by the augmentation OF the numbers
of its communicates, but also by a
more efficient coordination and dis
|cipline. The clergy, in 1861, were
as detached squadrons compared to
the compact and well marshaled
army of today. Half a century ago
the prelates and clergy labored under
many adverse circumstances. In
widely extended parts of the country
they had to minister to the faithful,
scattered often without churches
wherein to worship. and without
Catholic schools. They had but
scant resources to sustain them. Fre-
|quently they had to contend with
deep-rooted prejudices. Now. thank
God, we have in most places par
ishes we'll organized. Churches have
multiplied from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Parochial schools have be-
come the rule instead of the excep-
ton in the large centers Of popula-
ton. A generous laity are usually
able and always willing to aid our
missionaries. An unfriendly feeling
indeed still exists in some quarters
as the result of long-standing tradi-
tions and biased education. But the
mists of prejudice are gradually dis
appearing before the sunlight OF

SCIENCE
Is indebted For Advance
ment to Catholic
Men.

The life and work of the late Prof.
Thomas Dwight, a devout Cathohc'
who was professor of anatomy at
Harvard University for over a quar-
er of a century, and whose research
work has attracted the attention OF
he anatomical world, proves con-
lusiyely that there is not now, nor
never has been, any conflict between
Catholic belief and true science. 1t
is a notable fact that most OF the
eminent men who made great orig
inaI investigations in the science Oh
medicine have been devout and
faithful Catholics. Prof. Dwight is
by no means a solitary example. A
complete list of those whose faith
was not disturbed by their original
research in science would take up
entirely too much space, but the tol-
lowing brief one compiled by the
we'll known writer and physician
DR.. James j. Walsh, contains the
names of a few great Catholic
cientists
esMorgagui, whom Virchow greeted
as the father of modern pathology;
Auenbrugger, who made the first
step in modern diagnosis; Laennec,
to whom we owe most OF our
knowledge of diagnosis in chest dis
eases; Theodore Schwann, the dis
coverer of the cell doctrine, there
fore the founder Of modern biology;
Johann Mueller, probably the great
est teacher of medicine that ever
lived, whose students always looked
TO their master as the most i'm
portant factor in their lives, made
our nineteenth century medicine
what It is; Claude Bernard, the
great French psychologist, and Louis
Pasteur, the prince Of medical dis
coverers-all these men were not
only Catholics, but devout and faith
full Catholics. Pasteur could not
understand how anyone could pos
sibly think that science might dis
turb faith. It was Pasteur who,
when asked If there was incompa-
tibility of Catholicity and great sci
entific attainments or II there was a
possibility of successful original re-
search in science going together with
profound faith in religious princi-
pies and religious mysteries, said:
Il am sure that II I only knew
enough, l would have the faith of
the Breton peasant; If I only knew
all there was to know l would have
the faith of the Breton peasants s
wife,. Even in electricity the great
est names that we have-Calvani,
Volto, Coulomb, Ohm, Ampere-
were all -devout Catholics, three of
them at least used their rosaries
regularly as we know and were mem
bers of the Third Order OF St.
Francis. Not science, but a certain
school of scientists are the church's
foes, and the secret of their opposi-
ton is not found in the certain data
which they have diligently and
praiseworthily gathered from fauna
and flora, from chemical elements
and geologice strata, but in the IL
logical reasoning, in unwarranted
conclusions, and in philosophic sys-
TENS formulated without a
knowledge of metaphysics. No, the
Catholic church is not the enemy of
science"

century, but shall this doctrine OF
Socialism be then extant? No, with
the help OF God, It will not. And
let me say to every working man
here today the only friend you have
is that Carpenter of Nazareth. He
is with you today, and will be with
YOU forever. There is not law, a
discovery of science, a principle OF

for which you are not indebted to
Him. Therefore / repeat let us
leave this congress with the battle
cry of Christ, and let us fight under
the standard of Emmanuel or God
with u.s.
Immediately following the sermon
the dignitaries went. to the altar,
where Archbishop Moeller, surround
ed by Archbishops, Bishops and
priests, gave the Papal benediction.
This was Immediately followed by
benediction Of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, and as the seminarians sang
the 20, Salutaris" and the "Tantum
Ergo" the crowd stood with bowed
heads. As the Archbishop ascended
the altar the vast multitude knelt,
and to those unable to see the altar
the thrice roll of the drum con-
veyed the fact that Christ was being
elevated before them in solemn
benediction, while the glad ''Te
Deum" echoing and reverberating
through the evening air told the
world the fifth Eucharistic Congress
had passed into history.

Roddie Amendment to Bank Guaranty Law
Passes enate---Section Providing Limit of
10 per cent of Reserve for Deposit in
National Banks Cut Out---County
Assessors Bill Passes House But
Without Emergency Clause

Oklahoma City, Jan. 26.-The Roddie
bill amending the bank guarantee law
was passed finally in the senate yester-
day by vote of SO to 8, but the emer-
gency failed to carry.
The section which provided that state
banks could not deposit more than 10
per cent of their reserve in a national
bank outside recognized reserve cen
ter was cut out of the bill in commit
tee of the whole and Senator Roddie
made hard fight to have it restored
in the senate. He declared that so
per cent of the state banks are con-
trolled by national banks and that one
half the total deposits of national
banks in Oklahoma, orapproximately
$47,000,000, represent deposits from
state banks. He argued that the fail
ure of any one of fifty big national
banks in the state which carried so
much state bank money would wreck
the guarantee fund, Roddie's motion
to reinstate the section lost.
The senate passed the house bill ex-
tending the time for sixty days when
the first half of taxes for the current
year become delinquent
The house passed, 67 to 2S, the
county assessors bill, but killed the
emergency section. A resolution for
a legislative committee to visit state
institutions in course of construction
and report their needs was passed by
the house, as was also the resolution by
which the state relinquishes claim of
title to Platte National park at Sui
phur.

TO INVESTIGATE CONTRACT
WITH OKLAHOMA CITY

Oklahoma City, Jan. 26-There is
serious doubt of the validity of the
contract between former Governor C.

pense committee by which, in view
of the agreement by the state to adj
vance $4,000 to erect temporary
capitol the citizens agreed to pay
$71,2 200 incidental expense connected
with the capital removal.
A special house committee of seven
representatives was named by Speaker
Durant Wednesday night to investi-
gate the binding effect of the contract
and should they bear out the general
opinion of the members who will dis
cuss the matter, Oklahoma City will
not have to pay the much mooted ST.

enter into a new agreement. Repre-
sentatives Coughlin, Cox, Clark of

TWO ESCAPE FROM STATE
PRISON At M'AL|STER

McAlester, Okla, Jan. 26. = w. T..
Tidwell, sent from Coal county for
seven years for burglary, and China
Reed, from Grant county, seven years
for burglary, escaped from the state
penitentiary here early today. The
men were among those confined in the
old federal Jail and cut their way
through the ceiling and the roof and
lowered themselves with ducking
rope, made from the tailor shop where
they were employed.
No one saw them leave. The guard
had stepped out of the building for a
short time and the men took advan-
tage of his absence.
Bloodhounds refused to take the trail
of the convicts. Descriptions of the
men have been sent all over the state.
