ROME. Sept. 3.-CardinaI GiacOmO
Della Chiesa, Archbishop Of Bologna,
and former assistant Papal Secretary
of State, was today elected Pope.
succeeding the late POntiff Plus n.
The election was on the ninth ballot.
With all Of the ceremony prescribed
by the century old traditions Of the
Catholic Church, the new occupant OF
the Fisherman's Throne received the
first alteration of the Cardinals in the
conelave who had baIlOted since Mon
day in the election.
The new POntiii chose to be known
as Benedictus XIV. and will later
designate the date for his coronation.
With the cOncIave called while all
Europe was involved in devastating
war, which was largely responsible
for the death of Pope Plus from a
broken heart, the election of Bene-
dictus XIV will go down in history as
taking place at one of the most criti-
cal times in history. Several for
eign cardinals have not yet arrived in
Rome. Among those absent are
Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal O'COn'
nell. of the United States. In the con-
cIaye were 81 members of the Sacred
College. a majority OF them Italians.
The election of Cardinal Della
Cbiesa to the Papal Throne is not
only a tribute to the late Pontiff, but
also TO his closest advisor. Cardinal
Merry Del Val. AS Assistant Secre-
tarv of state and later as a Cardinal
, and Archbishop of Bologna, Cardinal
Della Chiesa was one Of Merry Del
Val's most ardent supporters, and in
return enjoyed the fullest confidence
of the Secretary of State. Being on
the best of terms with the Italian
government. it is considered certain
that the new Pope will carry out the
policy of Pope Plus, looking toward
the healing of the long-standine
/ breach between the Quirinal and the
Vatican.
When the scrutiny of votes today
showed the election of Cardinal Della
Chiesa, the secretary of the cOnclave
masters of ceremonies and tho
sacristan of the Vatican were al

the hand and at last were embraced
by him.
These ceremonies concluded, the
Ring of ST. Peter which had been in
charge of the Cardinal Camerlengo
was presented to Pope Bencdictus.
Precedent prescribes that the Car
dinals shall then retire to their cells
until public announcement is made.
The walls of the cOnclave are then
broken.
Two more ballots were taken in the
election of Benedictus XIV than in
the election of Pope Plus. Sixty-twO
cardinals participated in the election
of the late Pontiff and he received
fifty votes on the seventh ballot In
the early balloting of the present con-
clave, Cardinal Maffi was reported to
have received the heaviest vote. Card
inal Merry Del Val received a large
complimentary vote and il is cOnsid-
cred probable that on the late ballots
these votes went to Cardinal Della
Chiesa. one of Merry Del Vals most
ardent supporters.
Cardinal Della Chiesa was born at
Pedli, near Genoa, in Italy, in 1854. He
was ordained to the priesthood in
1878, and went to Madrid as secretary
Of the Nunciator in 1888, remaining
there until 1897 He returned TO Rome
and acted as minor official in the Of
flee of the Papal Secretary of State.
In 1901. Cardinal Rampolla, then the
Secretary of State, recognized his
ability and promoted him to Substi-
tute, or virtually First Assistant Sec
retary of State. Pope Plus y, in
1907, appointed him Archbishop of
Bologna, Italy. There he remained as
Archbishop until he was created
Cardinal at the last consistory held
early this year.
Cardinal Della Chiesa Is regarded
as being a man very similar TO Cardi-
nal Rampolla. II was to Cardinal
Rampolla that he owed the promotion
TO the office of Vice Secretary of
State. who brought him to the atten-
tion of Pope Plus and probably en-
abled him to get the Red Hat only
seven years after he had been made
Archbishop.

Dare to think for yourself.
Human compositions are fall
ible.
But the scriptures were written
by en.who wrote as they we're
inspired by the holy spirit. HUI
man writings on religion resemble
preaching. they are useful only
SO far as they illustrate The scrip
lures, and induce US Ito search
them for ourselves.
Prepare your hearts TO seek the
Jaw Of the Lord. There is a pre-
paration OF heart, in which we are
wholly passive. which is, in the
strlctest sense, the work OF God;
and without this, woe be to any
OF ussthat should dare 10 set up
for teachers of his law ard gos-
pei. But there is also a prepar-
alton oil heart in which we are
active; and this the preparedness
intended in the text. In this
even. God is the cause he actuates
but then we act.
OF this preparation We have to
speak, and it consists n pray er +,
determination and meditation.
Your work is course and for
this you must prepare by grid
ing up the lions OF your mind a
fight and you must put on the
whole armour OF God. The work
OF God should not be entered up
on rdshly. God frequently brings
his servants through train OF in-
structions and trials, that they
may be fitted for it. Moses was
lorty years at court and forty
years shepard. These were his
days OF preparation, Christ pre-
pared ..his disciples. BY his in-
stuctions during his life. and pre-
vious to their great work they
prepared themselves. (act. !.
such preparation OF heart is not
only necessary for our entrance
into the pastoral Office but also
for your continuance .in it. you
find that every exercise requires
it.
You do not reed being guard
ed against that erroneous notion
Of SO trusting TO the spirit as TO
neglect personal preparation for
your public labours. But this
prep aredness is not only reqisiie
for speaking the truth in public.
but as well for seeking it in pri-
vate. Let all your private medi-
tations be mingled with prayer.
You will study your bible to
wonderful advantage. If you go
to il spiritually mindeo 1t is
this which causes us to see the
beauty and to ieel the force OF
many parts Of scriptures, to which
in carnaI state OF mind. we are
blind aud stupid.
II we go to the study OF the
study OF the bible wise in our
own conceits, and self-sufficient
we shall get no good.
When we would be taught from
Gods word. we ustlearn as little
children. Again il we 60 to the
bible merely. or chiefly to find
something to esay to the people,
without respect to our own souls,
we shall make but poor progress.
My brother study divine truth, as
a christian, and not merely as a
minister consider your own soul
as deeply inferred; and dread the
thought OF cultivating others.
while you suffer your own heart
to remain uncultivated. II you
study divine truth as christian.
