the silver jubilee of the eloquent and able Bishop Donahuc
of the diocese of Wheeling, living reutaton of the
popular belief that able men break down under seemingly
crushing weight of responsibility. For hirtyree years
Cardinal Gibbons has been the head of the Roman Gath
ole hierarchy in this country For large part of that
time he the only prince of the church in the United

church that time solved by his brains and his pa
hence
Most Americans realize that he is one of the great men
Of this country great in his sterling Amercansm and great
in his splendid scholarship and wide sympathes which have
made him the successful leader of Catholics of many
diverse races and nadonalides. but it is generally
Known that he is also world figure of commanding pres
enee who would have made wonderful impress had he
chosen any other field of endeavor.
Cardinal Gibbons ordination to the priesthood took
place IN 1861 and early after that he wrote dochna
book entitled The Faith of Our Fathers, primarily for
circulation among members of the Protestant churches
which is said TO have run through 40 editions in this country
and 10 editions in Great Britain. That marked the intro
dction Of this vle young American the people

On July % Cardinal Gibbons will be eighty-6ve years
old He is wonderfully vigorous man physically well
as intellectually. but it not to be expected that he will
