CARDINAL FERRATA{ APPOINTED
CHIEF ADVISER TO POPE BENE-

ATE AND TRAINED DIPLOMAT.

1879 he was appointed Auditor of
the Apostolic Nunciature in Paris

occupied several important positions
before being appointed President of
the Postifical Academy of Mobiles, in

consecrated Titular Archbishop of
Thessalonica and appointed Nuncio
to Brussels. Six years later he oc-
cupied similar position in Paris, He

was Prefect of the Congregation of
the Sacraments and lately has been
Secretary of the Congregation of the
Holy Office of which the Pope him
self is President.
After the death of Pope Plus x, he
was considered by q great many as
the foremost candidate for the Papacy
and, no doubt, he received many votes
in the Conclaye When Cardinal
Della Chiesa was elected Pope those
who were in touch with the situation
knew that Cardinal Ferrata would be
made Secretary of State, even as it is
not improbable that, had be been
elected Pope, he would have chosen
Cardinal Della ChieEa for that import
ant position.

| Apostolic DeleSatlOn,
| United States of America.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 8, 1914.
Your Grace:
A few days. ago | had the painful
duty of conveying to you a message
of sadness and grief; to-day | have
the pleasure of communicating to you
tidings of joy and consolation. | have
been informed by an official cable
gram, that the Sacred College of Car
dinals has elected Successor to our
lamented and beloved Plus X in the
person of His Eminence James Cardi-
nal Della Chiesa, who has assumed
the name of Benedict XIV.
We have indeed every reason for be-
ing thankful to God because, in spite
of the terrible situation into which
the world has been thrown by the
present war, it has pleased His Divine
Goodness to give Pontiff so soon to
His Church. And we are especially
thankful to Him because the person
who has been elected is one, who, as
his past career shows, is pre-eminently
fitted for this most august and respon-
sible office. Born of noble parents
in Pegli, Genoa, in 1854, he completed
great success. His fitness for dip
lomatic affairs was highly appreciated
by Leo XIII, who first sent him to
Spain as Secretary to the Apostolic
Nunciature and afterwards called him
to Rome, where, in 1901 he became
Substitute to the Secretary of State,
who was then Cardinal Rampolla.
Plus X promoted him to the Archbish-
opric of Bologna, where he eXcelled
for his active zeal coupled with un-
usual prudence and enlightment. Fin
ally his high merits were crowned in
the Consistory of May 25th of this
year by his elevation to the Cardinal
ate. We have, therefore, in Benedict
XIV Pope who has distinguished him
self both for his ability in dealing with
public affairs and his zeal in the pas
toral ministry
/ While we gige vent to our joyous
gratitude to Almighty God. let us re-
new to the new Pope those sentiments
of love and reverence that we proud
ly entertained for his Predecessor,
Plus X, and by answering loyalty and
fidelity let us recognize in Him the
Vicar of Christ, the Successor of St.
Peter, the Supreme Pastor of the
Church
But at the same time we should
not forget to pray for the success of
the high mission entrusted TO his care.
Let us, therefore, unite our prayers
that his reign may be a most glorious
one; that all the faithful and all ranks
of society may feel the beneficial in
fuence of his government, and that,
through Gods grace, he may be the
harbinger of that peace which is ear
nestly desired by all and which was so
much at heart to his sanity Predeces-
sor.
With sentiments Of highest esteem,
and good wishes, | beg to remain,
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Archbishop of Melitene,

FROM THE NE ETHERLANDs
ARCHBISHOP OF UTRECHT CAN
GELS CELEBRATION OF HIS
FORTIETH SACERDoTAL ANNI-
VERsARY ON ACCOUNT OF THE
WAR-SEMlNARY TURNED OVER
TO THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.

When the army of the Netherlands
was mobilized and part of Holland
declared by Queen Wilhelmina to be
under martial law, the Most Rever-
end Fl. Van de Wetering, successor
to SIS. Willibrord and Boniface in
the Metropolitan See of Utrecht, sent
out word that he wanted none of the
proposed celebration to be held on
August Is, in honor Of the fortieth
anniversary Of his ordination to the
priesthood He also declared that no
congratulations should be sent him by
mail or telegram lest they might ham,
per the authorities in their already
strenuous work in view of the war that
threatened to involve the whole of
Europe. The theological seminary in
Rysenburg, near Utrecht, was given
over to the Red Cross Society and
the retreats for the priests, always
held there, were abandoned The
Archbishop also held the ordinations,
which usually take place on August
Is, at an earlier date.

CORONATION OF BENEDICT XV
CEREMONY IN THE
SISTINE CHAPEL LAST SUNDAY
TRIPLE CROWN PLACED ON HIS
HEAD.

The solemn crowning of His Holi-
ness Pope Benedict XIV, who was
elected Pope on September 3, in sue
cession to the late Pope Plus X, took
place in the Sistine Chapel on Sunday,
September g. The ceremony usually
takes place in ST. Peters; but owing
to the state Of war in which almost
the whole of Europe. is plunged it was
deemed advisable to avoid all unneces-
sary pomp and, therefore, the Sistine
Chapel was the scene of the imposing
ceremony. The entire pontifical
court, Representatives of the Roman
aristocracy and the family of the
Pontiff were present. The sixty Car
dinals present in Rome walked in the
procession which accompanied the
Pope, borne in the Sedia Gestatoria,
to the Sistine Chapel, where Mass
was. said by His Holiness and the
triple crown, or tiara, placed on his
head by the officiating Cardinal.

PSALM XLVII
MAGNUs DoMINUs.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

Great is God; we praise His name,
Praise Him in His holy place,
On the mountains of His grace,
Let us sing with glad acclaim.
Lord, with joy the earth rejoiced,
When was laid the deep foundation
OF the temple of the nation,
Where Thy holy name is voiced.
Came of kings mighty host,
From all lands and gazed in awe,
Tremb1ed sore at what they saw,
Bent like ships in tempests tossed.
As we heard, SO have we seen,
In the city of the Lord,
Founded on His holy word,
On Thy mercy, Lord, we lean.
AS Thy name, so is Thy praise,
To the utmost end of land,
Justice is in Thy right hand,
A song let Sion's daughters raise.
Strongly Sion's walls defend,
In her strength be all Thy pride,
In her houses still abide,
God shall rule US to the end.

Crowned with the Tiara.

After the Iitany the Sistine Choir
sings the Offertory in four voices,
with the motette: In diademate capi-
tis Aaron.
At the end of the Mass the process
sion returns to the upper vestibule Of
the basilica, where the Pope ascends
the throne there erected in the sight
of the assembled populace. 1t may
be that pending the present state of
affairs in Rome the Pope may have
this ceremony carried out in the ba-
silica itself. The choir begins the
anthem, Corona aurea super caput
eius, etc, by Palestrina, and the Car
joyous nature. After prayer of hum
BILE supplication either the Cardinal
dean or the Cardinal deacon places
the tiara on the head of the new Pom
tiff, pronouncing the words: Receive
the tiara adorned with three crowns,
and know that thou are the Father of
Princes and Kings, the ruler of the
world, and the vicar on earth of our
Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom be hon
or and glory forever and ever. Amen.
The newly crowned Pontiff then
reads a few prayers, and imparts the
apostolic benediction, while plenary
indulgence is announced, under the
usual conditions, to all present. Re-
turning to the chamber where the sa-
cred robes are taken off, the Cardinal
dean congratulates His Holiness i'll
the name of the Sacred College, while
the Pontiff in turn thanks their Emin-
ences for their good wishes, asks their
assistance, and then retires to his
private apartments.
The streets and houses of the city,
besides many public buildings, are
beautifully illuminated in the evening,
while the facade of st. Peters sur
passes all others for the brilliancy of
the display.

usual on this occasion may be some.

terrible conflict now raging through.

whence issue such pure and melodious

Plus THE TENTH

see the elimination Of his courageous
policy, and, as time since has shown,
the beginning of better days for the
Church in France.
An Appeal to Ancient Traditions. 7
Once more, the judgment passed on
his act must depend upon the point
of view of the critic. To the man
who counts present opportunity and
material advantages as elements with
out which no society can be expected
to prosper, the rupture or relations
with France, the exile of the religious
orders and the insecure tenure of
all Churches and ecclesiastical build
ings in the country, will appear as
undeniable evidence of Plus KS lack
of practical capacity; but to the man
who believes that spiritual principle
is the only ground on which spirit
ual society can stand these losses
will only be proofs of an heroic and
Christian spirit
Z These two incidents, then, will al
ways stand out as the most character
istic and significant results of Plus
KS policy; but in numerous smaller
points these same characteristics will
appear. In his encouragement of fire.
quent Communion, even on the part of
children, once more there is the as
sertion that in mans relations with
God objective supernatural grace
counts for more than the intellectual
process by which its action is appre-
ciated; and here, too, there is an
insistence upon the old primitive
ideals. So, too, with his drastic re-
form of the breviary: here, too, there
is return to the old conception of
the Psalter as being the daily and
continuous song-book of the Church.
Throughout the whole of his Pontifi-
cate there was the one trend-an ap-
peal back to ancient lines and tradi-
tions. Truth, indeed, changes its as
poets from age to age; even, in some
realms of knowledge, there are actual
advances in knowledge; yet truth is
also eternal and absolute in itself;
and it is in this aspect of truth rather
than in the other, that revelation,
to the mind of the Catholic, presents
itself.
