result of the impetus given by his

now being outlined.
"The country girl who has come to
earn a living in such large city as

ity, too, were the flags of some twen-
ty countries in every one of which
and scores besides she pursues her
mission. These flags of foreign lands,
festooning pillars and walls side by
side with the national colors OF the
United States, told the story of the
Catholic Church's success in bringing
together in common act of worship
the peoples of a whole hemisphere. 1t
was proof of the Catholic Church's
power to create league of nations
under her own symbol-the Cross of
Christ.
Apostolic Delegate Pontificates.
His Excellency, the Most Reverend
John Bonzano, Apostolic Delegate, Gel
ebrated the solemn pontifical Mass.
Very Rev. DR.. Peter Guilday was as
sistant priest to His Eminence Cardi-
nal Gibbons, who sat upon his throne
a venerable representative of the ma.
jesty of the Church.
There was military note in the
harmony of the Church's liturgy when
at the solemn moment of the eleva-
tion, the cadets of st. Johns College
were brought to present arms" by
their commander and the bugles gave
three blasts to- salute Christ on the
altar. The American flag and the
banner of Pan-America were raised to
join the salute.
Remindful too of the Church's an.
tlquity, as we'll as her universality,
was the garb of the Cardinals tiny
page, who held up His Eminence's
train as he entered and left the
Church. In courtiers red hat, scar
let doublet and hose, and red, buckled
pumps, he recalled the Middle ages
when Cardinals were recognized as
Princes by the state as we'll as by the
Church.
Addresses at Luncheon.
Following the Mass there was a
Thanksgiving luncheon in the rectory
| of st. Patrick's Church for the diplo-
matte and ecclesiastical guests. Mon
s1gnor Thomas presided. Cardinal
Gibbons, in a short address, praised
the national practice of setting aside
one day of thanksgiving to God. His
Eminence concluded with a toast to
the health of the President of the
United States.
Secretary Colby also spoke. He
said that, although not of the Catholic
communion, he was deeply impressed
by the beauty of the ceremony which
it was his privilege to attend. The
United States, he said, may we'll be
proud of it's Catholic citizens.
