SERMON OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

in the fullness of his heart and of his
mind / thank him for his great care
of you, / congratulate you on his
friendship for you. Here live priests
loyalty devoted to you, who respected
and loved you in the days of your pow
er, who respect and love you in the
days of your retirement. Here among
the Catholics people of Iowa are
legions of friends, whose pleasure it is
to enhance your joys and comforts.
Here, too, you live amidst fragrant
memories of other bishops whom to
think of is to be the better priest, the
better bishop-a Hennessey, a Smyth,
and Loras-a Loras, especially, the
truest of priests, the truest of bishops,
whose very name spells holiness and
nearness to God. All this is great
favor. l thank God that He has given
it to you.
Shall be led to obtrude upon my
hearers a shadow of my own self. The
occasion, think, permits me to do so.
John j. Keane, you and have been
friends for many a year. No cloud
ever passed across the horizons of our
life to darken the light of our friend

ship, to lessen it's freshness and
strength. Together we have fought
the battles of the Lord Together we
have walked in days of peace, together
in days of war. We have stood side by
side to fight the battles of the Church
and of country. Fellow soldiers were
we, and friends ever. Friends in time,
may we be near to each other for eter-
nifty in the blessedness of God. We
have long worked together. To both
old age has come-to one, amidst
scenes of tranquility, to the other,
amidst the turmoil Of the battle.
Which one will first reach the judg-
ment seat, God only knows. But,
whichever one it is, let him be quick to
meet the other, when his turn has
come, to extend to him a welcoming
hand and pray for mercy upon his
soul.
Archbishop Keane, on this jubilee of
your priesthood many the friends that
greet you-none, however, more low
ingly and more sincerely than myself
your longtime friend and fellow sol.
der. The blessing of a friend is yours
today.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN eUALRERT.

st. John Gualbert was born at Flor
ence, A. d. 999. Following the pro-
fession of arms at that troubled
period, he became involved in blood
feud with a near relation. One Good
Friday, as he was riding into Florence
accompanied by armed men, he en-
countered his enemy in place where
neither could avoid the other. John
would have slain him; but his adver-
sary, who was totally unprepared to
fight, fell upon his knees with his
arms stretched out in the form of a
cross, and implored him for the sake
of our Lords holy passion, to spare
his life. Grace triumphed, and John
not only held his hand from blood,
but cast out from his heart the wicked
spirit of revenge. A humble and
changed man, he entered the Church
of ST. Miniato, which was near; and
whilst he prayed the figure of our
kneeling bowed his head towards him,
as if to ratify his pardon. Abandoning
the world he gave himself up to pray
er and penance in the Benedictine
Order. Later he was led to found
the Congregation called of Vallom-
brosa, from the shady valley a few
miles from Florence, where he estab-
lished his first monastery. He fought
manfully against simony, and in many
ways promoted the interest of the
Faith in Italy. After life of great
austerity, he died whilst the angels
were singing round his bed, July IL,
1913.
Once the enemies of the saint came
to his convent of ST. Salvi, plundered
it, and set fire to it; and having
treated the monks with ignominy, beat
them and wounded them. st. John
rejoiced. Now" he said, you are
true monks. Would that myself had
had the honor of being with you when
the soldiers came, that j might have
had share in the glory of your
crown!"
