"One OF the tenets OF his church
is respect for constituted authority
and we have always found him on
tae side of law and order, always in
favor of peace and good will to all
men, always in favor Of religious
tolerance and always strong In the
matter of religion is the best condi
ton under which churches may thrive.
With pardonable pride he points to
the fact that Maryland under Catho
lie control was among the first to
give complete religious tolerance.
Nothing could more clearly show
the character of the man whose ju
bilee we celebrate than the living
testimonial that this assembly is to
his value as a neighbor In the com
munity OF Baltimore. IL you would
find what man is, go to his home
and his neighbors ami there, IL any
thing that he does and says rings
true and snows his heart whole in
terest in the welfare of men and
women and children near about him.
you have the strongest proof OF his
virtues as over of mankind.
Born in Baltimore, educated IN
ireland, made priest in Maryland, o
curate in North Carolina, bishop IN
Richmond, a coadjutor in Baltimore
arch bishop Of Baltimore in the prma-
tial see OF this country he was called
to the high position OF cardinal June
z, 1886. by Leo KIN
'In spite of the burden and re-
sponsibility Of high position in the
church he las taken part in the
many great movements for the better
ment Of mankind and has shown him
self not only good Catholic in the
church sense but has been broadly
Catholic in the secular sense OF thai
word, so that the affection felt for
him by his co-religionists has spread
TO all denominations and to all the
people who are quick to perceive a
dsinterested friend.
THAT he may long continue active
In his present aigh position, that he
may continue in secular movements
to take the higa place he always has
had in works of usefulness is the

"wniIe the American people may
differ among themselves on questions
OF dogma Colonel Roosevelt said,
''they unite on what counts more
than dogma-conduc We read now
and then about people complaining
that the churches are growing smaller
and that they are losing their infiu-
ence. But there will be no complaints
In the future if every church makes
as its cardinal principle the render
ing OF service to the people. No
church will have to defend itself so
long as those who are high in that
church devote themselves to the peo
pie as you, Cardinal Gibbons, have
devoted yourself to them.
1--WE will see presidents who are
Catholics as well as presidents who
are protestants and we will see pres
idents who are Jews as well as presi-
dents who are Gentiles 1t should
be the aim OF every man who is pres
ident, so to carry himself toward his
fellow Americans who are not OF his
religion that some day. when there
is another president who Is not OF his
religion, that man may treat him IN
that same fashion. The cardinal has
fought for the lowly. He has shown
by his life that justice can come only
through law and order. He has sci
en- example for all of iis hv the things
for which he has striven and the way
In which he has striven."
