Cardinal O'C0nnelL
Eulogizes Mgr. Gibbons
Ne,U Head of Church in u. S.
Says His Predecessor Vas
An erico's Finest Citizen

BOSTON, March 24.-Cardinal O'Con-
nell who, with the passing Of Cardi-
nal Gibbons, becomes head of the Ro-
man Catholic Church IN This country,
paid tribute to the late Cardinal to-
day. He said, in part:
"The death Of Cardinal Gibbons re-
moves foremost figure from Amer
ica's national life. 1t means to the
Catholic Church in this country the
loss of an eminent and distinguished
churchman.
with his passing closes remark
able career filled with noble and far
span of life in the civil and religious
history of the United States, and his
services to the nation and the Church
have indelibly stamped his name upon
the pages that record the story of
both.
cardinal Gibbons was America Is
first and finest citizen. American born
and American trained, he cherished
Americas traditions and for more than
half century was actively engaged
in promoting the noblest ideals OF
voted to serving the best interests of
the American speople; to every worthy
mOvemen the gave his encouragement
and support.
"The soundness of his judgment and
the clearness Of his vision made him a
prudent counsellor whom statesmen
sought when vital and complex prob
lens called for solution. With un-
erring accuracy he felt the pulse of the
American public. With unusual keenness
he detected and diagnosed social mala-
dies even before others were conscious
of their existe zee. Those great gifts
of mind. accompanied by exceptional
wisdom born of long years of varied
experience, gave to his pronouncements
an extraordinary value and won for
his words respectful recognition.
"Instinctively in every great crisis
his fellow countrymen turned to him
as leader. BY the gentleness
of his manner. by the broadness of his
sympathies, by his loyal and patriotic
devotion to national interests. whether
in time of peace or in time of war, he
won them, irrespective of race, class or
creed, and, type of true American, he
gave to America the example of one
who, after the service of God, desires
nothing more earnestly than the serv-
ice of his country"
