Cardinal Gibbons

President Wilson has written to
Cardinal Gibbons letter of apprecia-
ton for the communication sent him
by the Cardinal, at the time the Arch
bishops were in session at the Catholic
University, Washington. The letter
says:
''The demands on my time incident
to the arrival and entertainment of the
foreign commission now in Washing
ton have delayed my replying to your
gracious letter of April 10. I am sure
you will understand, and I beg that
you will pardon the delay.
"The very remarkable resolutions
unanimously adopted by the archbish-
ops of the United States at their an
nual meeting ip the Catholic Univer-
sity on April 18 last, a copy of which
you were kind enough to send me,
warns my heart and makes me very
proud indeed that men of such large
influence should act in so large sense
of patriotism and so admirable spirit
of devotion to our common country.
