New York. May 13LCardinal Farley yesterday visited st. Gabriel's church on East Thirty-sixth street, where for seventeen years he was the pastor, to dedicate the new parochial school After the dedication he delivered an address in the chapel of the new school.
 T ann full of gratitude to find my self here again among my dear chil- dren." Cardinal Farley said in open ing his address, flor I was pastor of this parish for more than seventeen years and the cross I now wear is very dear to me, for 1t was given to me by the people of this parish. I to succeed our dear founder, the Rev. William H. Clowry. one of the great est defenders of the Catholic religion, who started this school where none was. The finger of God is seen here and no pleasanter duty could have fallen & on me than to be here to bless your school today It used to be my ambition to end my days here, but always wanted to alter the dark class rooms and get such building as we now have. But I was called away to other fields of labor and those who came after me have zealously carried out and completed the good work.
 'The endeavor of Catholic schools is to educate all the faculties God has given them and not only to teach re- ligion, as the calun1nious throw in cur teeth. but to teach all to be good citizens and patriots.
 "The old cry against the Catholic church that we are not patriots Is now known to be false. The religions of other churches are more and more coming to be known as insufficient. In fact. heard this said by a Protestant Bishop the other day, and the result is Socialism. Socialism is heresy and should be stamped out. People of other religions are coming to us for guidance and assistance. The Methodists, Episcopalians, and all oth- CT religions here do not know how to introduce religion into the education of their children. They have no system, and no plan of campaign.
 'sRemember that people expect of Catholics a high code of morals, above the debasinE things that exist today. Remember, Gods spirit dwells within you, and, when any temptation comes to you, let the sti1l small voice speak and say, are you going to betray the church 2 ;"

 '"The great fault of other religions, /" he said, s'is that they educate their children and give them a knowledge of the world without any religious teach ing. Tn our schools, not only do we teach our children patriotism and to love their country, but we do vastly more to make them good citizens of the United States than any other re- lision.
 come" he said. Look into the lives of our business men and see the greed, the robbery, the theft and the fraud that exist in the business world: look at our social life, at the libertinisms that reign in it. and when you open our morning papers look at the rec ord of crimes, divorces, murders, se- cret stabbings that we see. Tn this country money will allow you to com init perjury. to carry through and con- ugly thing without punishment, and it is in the Catholic schools alone we teach religion and the power of God. The others neglect it.''
 He predicted that the church Of America in the future would be the Catholic church.
