right thing, according to the American
idea. He ignored the nation.
Before Pope Plus had been on the
throne three years he showed that
young men who dreamed of the career
Of courtier in Rome were going to
be disappointed. The pope wanted
bishops for the difficult sees. and the
way for young diplomats to promotion,
1t was soon apparent, was through the
tiresome but wholesome office OF gov
erning bishop.
One great reform Pope Plus accom-
plished. and 1t promises to be ever re-
membered in history. He proved that
diplomacy in church matters IL a
thing of little importance compared
with the direct teaching and preach
ing of the gospel to the poor.
Some Notable Reforms.
His now famous Apostolic constitu-
ton was considered as embodying the
most sweeping reform ever attempted
by a Roman pontiff since the celebrat-
ed Council of Trent, in the years from
1545 to 1863, in that It dismissed the
entire congregation of the council, a
eommitte of cardinals charged with
the Interpretation OF the Council of
Trent, and placed all AFFAIRS in the
hands Of separate tribunals and courts
of appeal.
Pope Plus was in every respect a
man OF peace, and the clerical trou-
bles in Spain and Portugal during the
latter years OF his life greatly affect.
ed his health. When Spain and Por.
tugal. following the lead Of France.
broke away from the church, he re-
fused to take any decisive action
against them.
This policy OF peace earned for
Pope Plus x. the love Of the church's
devotees the world over and will
make his memory one that posterlty
will honor as that of great prelate in
the history OF Catholicism.

lads studious leanings demanded a
wider field for their development. He
was sent to college at CastelF'ranco.
His Promotions Rapid.
On September IS, 1858. the young
seminarist received his priests orders
in the cathedral of CasteLFranco.
That year was a memorable one for
Italy. The question Of Italian liber-
alton had been forced to the front by
the attempt of Orsini to assassinate
Napoleon III. The diplomats of ma
tons assembled, but the young priest
was not concerned in the movement
He turned his back on the world, and
took up his duties as curate in the
village OF Tombolo
He was promoted to be parish
priest OF Salzano in 1867, only year
after the cession OF Venezia (Venice)
to Italy, so that the future pope lived,
for the first thirty-two years Of his
life, under the Austrian regime In his
native province.
The able discharge OF his ONCE

that time the bishop OF the diocese.
who nominated him to canonry in
the cathedral OF Treviso. This promo
ton was supplemented by bestowal
OF the deanery on Father Sarto and
his appointment as episcopal chancel-
lor. To him also was confided the
delicate and important charge OF spir-
itual director TO the Seminary Of Ire
yiso, in which college he was likewise
given a professors chair and an ex-
aminership Nor did his activities end
here. for he was chosen as Judge in
the capitular ecclesiastical court, and
finally was appointed vicsr-general OF
the diocese.
Given Important See.
After such an apprenticeship II was
not surprising that when the impor

tant see OF Mantua became vacant. In
1884, Leo XIII. chose Giuseppe Sarto
TO fill the place. II was no easy task
to which he had been called, for his
predecessor had allowed discipline to
become slack. His persuasive powers
and administrative gifts were tested
to the utmost, but he was fully equal
TO the ungrateful task.
Two years later Pope Leo recog-
nized Bishop Sarto's merits by rails
ing him to the Sacred College. with
the title of San Bernardo ale Terme,
at a consistory held June 10, 1893. AT
the same time he was' chosen out OF
all the Vatican prelates to fill the
patriarchate of Venice.
Sought to Build Up Church.
Pope Plus policy was the simplest.
His election resulted because a ma
jority OF the cardinals had wearied OF
diplomacy and It's barren results, and
longed for a pontiff who would build
up the units of organization-that Is,
the dioceses they ruled by bishops.
In France, Italy and Spain these units
were either paralyzed or directed by
the hostile or Indifferent state. There
was a show Of life( but not such teem-
ing and varied life as Is seen In the
dioceses of America. Canada and Ire
land. II was known that Plus would
desert diplomacy and try to make all
dioceses as they are in English-speak-
ing countries.
That diplomacy found no place in
Plus mind is evidenced by many of
his acts His action toward the French
government was perfect In indiffer-
ence. Therefore France had all the
trouble and the pope was out Of 1t.
When the trouble between the
church and state broke out in France
and the Concordat was dropped. the
world looked to the pope, specializing
as to what course he would take.

count of his experiences:

red-eyed with weeping, wringing their
hands.

grocery had husband and four sons
