of Cardinal Gibbons and in expressing
regret at his death.
Archbishop Hayes, after day filled
with the observance of Holy Thursday
at St. Patrick's Cathedral, issued the
following statement:
Cardinal Gibbons has filled such an
unique PLACE, these many years, in the
Catholic Church and in our American
life that e is difficult to face the stern
reality that his noble soul has passed
into eternity.
"His apostolic, civic and historic
career, beginning with the Civil War
and closing with the worlds greatest
conflict, shines forth as one of the
most striking in our annals.
His ardent love of God, his undying
loyalty to the Church, his affectionate
devotion to country and his unwaver--
ing faith in Americas exalted destiny
mark the bishop and the citizen whose
memory will long be cherished at the
affairs of his own Church as we'll as
around the firesides, without number,
OF patriotic Americans of every creed.'
The Right Rev. Monsignor Michael
j. Lavelle, rector of st. Patrick's
Cathedral, said:
In the CONSERVATION of his i'm
mediate passing away it is not possible
to find words that express adequately
our sentiments regarding Cardinal
Gibbons. He was an ideal priest and
bishop, consequently a typical citi-
zen and great man. Church and
country are better for his life. His
name will live in history and his men,
ory will be an inspiration for genera
ations yet unborn
Morgan j. O'Brien said:
at is the passing not only of the
greatest Churchman but one of the
greatest Americans of our time. He
was a broad. liberal, able and loyal
patriot, a true American and a true
churchman."

Judge John F. Mcintyre, of General
| Sessions, said
"He was always a great prelate and
patriotic American. All he said from
time to time was in the best interests
of the American people. and his views
on public questions were always whole
some. He goes to his Maker with the
regard to creed"
Judge Alfred J. Talley, of General
Sessions, said:

religious teaching"

j., editor of The Catholic Encyclo-
poedia, said:
He was the transcendent church
man of his age. His eminent official

in religion, but also in national affairs
in such manner as to command the
respect and win the affection of men
and women the world over, without re-
gard to creed or party"

OlStlncLlOH OF race and creed, evoked
universal love-"
William H. Anderson, of the Anti
Saloon League, said:
Cardinal Gibbons undoubtedly sin
cerely desired to reduce the evils of

he pledged to total abstinence till they
| were of age the members of every class

mis- life and service are pointed out as
an incentive to American manhood in
general"

I Itar EN- Court. said:
cardinal Gibbons, in my judgment
was not only a man possessed of keen
| insight into worldly matters, but a
spiritual adviser who partook of the
essence OF godliness that he pro-
claimed"
