BALTIMORE, Oct. 28.-"The para

present crisis is a hearty and loyal
obedience to the constituted author

sermon on Loyalty to Country de!iv-

"Be slow to criticise," the Cardinal
continued. Remember that you view
the situation from one angle; your
rulers contemplate il from various an
giles. They have lights and sources OF
information that are closed to you.
Your judgment Of the Administration
and YOUR criticism OF their official acts
should be always subordnated to a
generous and wholesouled submission
to their rulings. 1t is theirs to COM
mand; it is yours to obey.
81 thank God that we live in a coun-
try where liberty is granted without
license, and authority is exercised
without despotism; where the govern
ment holds over us the egis of its
protection without interfering with the
God given rights Of conscience.

the Republic endure? ! have firm
and an abiding faith in the perpetuity
of the nation. She has successfully

in the past. and with Gods help, she

that now assail her
"But if our country, with her glo-
rious institutions, is to survive, her
survival must rest on a stronger basis
than on the genius Of our statesmen
the wisdom Of our laws and the
patriotism of our people. If she is to
endure. she must stand on the eternal
principles of truth and justice and
righteousness. Our hope for the
future welfare Of the country must
rest on downright honesty in our deal
