CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
 HOLDS ANNIVERSARY
Celebrates Twenty fifth BirIhtay--.
 High Church PTeIaieS Present.

Washington, April 15.-The 25th anniversary of the Catholic University of America was celebrated here to- day in the presence of one of the most distinguished assemblages of Catholic Clergy and laymen ever gathered in this country. The three American cardinals, eight archbishops, thirty bishops, thirty monsignori, eight heads of religious orders, sixty representa- tives of colleges and universities, over three hundred clergy and hundreds of distinguished laymen and women from all over the United Ststec were pre- sent.
 The ceremonies began thls morning with solemn pontiflcel mass at St Patrick's church. at which Cardinal Farley of New York was oelebrant and Cardinal Gibbons delivered tho sermon; followed by luncheon, and later academic exercises at which a letter from Pope Benedict Xv was read, and addresses were delivered by Cardinal O'ConnelI of Boston, Presi dent c. Stanley Hall of the American Association of Universities, Dr. John Cavanaligh. president of Notre Dame University. and Bishop shahan. Rec tor of the. Catholic University of America.
 Cardinal Gibbons Sermon.
 Cardinal Gibbons in the course of his sermon ct the pontiticaI mass said:
 For the growth of the university we are indebted above all to the God of Wisdom for whose glory the work was begun. To tho great Pontiffs Leo XIII and Plus N and to their success sor Pope Benedict NV we make pub lie acknowledgement of our gratitude. To the Catholics of the United States. we return our thanks for their gen erous support. The experience of those twenty-five years emphasizes the needs which the university aims to supply: the need of deNine truth to complete our human knowledge, of divine justice as the highest sanction of law. of the spirit of Christ in our ministrations of mercy and love. There is no real liberty without law, and there is no meaning or validity to law unless it be observed.
 The growth of democracy does not imply that each man shall be- come a law unto himself, but that he shall feel in himself the obligation to obey. If the enacting power has been transferred from the will of the ruler to the will Of the people, the binding. coercive power has been laid with greater stress of responsihility than over before upon the individual Unless men he taught that obedience is right and honorable and necessary alike for private interest but little, the law making power will

Says That Sundays
Methods Are Only
Ones for MOderns

Or. John Wallace Welsh. advance
agent for Billy Sunday. told an audi
ence at First Congregational church at
noon yesterday that Sunday is a spirit
ual policeman" and that his language is
terrible" because the sins OF his hear
ers are terrible.
"a policemsn's methods are not very
nice" said DIR. Welsh, land there are
some things about Billy Sunday which
we might criticise, but he accomplishes
results"
DIR. Welsh urged the necessity of re-
Nival meetings. declaring that Protestant
churches were losing in membership. A
return to the old fashioned revival plan
is made necessary by modern conditions,
he asserted.
He said that Sundays methods were
the only methods oy which the modern
American who reads the sport page and
the comic supplement may be brought to
Christ.
