 "Gentlemen: Not to acknoWl- edge with gratitude the affection ate address and benevolent wishes of my fellow citizens on my re- tirement from public life, would prove that I have been unworthy of the confidence which they have been pleased to repose in me.

It bespeaks the tolerant and liberal disposition of the country. to find our citizens, of every persuasion, emulous in as- sisting their Roman Catholic bretheren with the means for building Temple to the God Of Heaven, in which they can wor- ship according to the dictates Of their own consciences.

thrill, of '.rhe Spirit of '76'', it is well not to forget that Q driving force in that Spirit" was the sine cere conviction of the patriots (in- cludinE supposed agnostics like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson) that they were acting under the direction of Q superin- tending Providence.
 ImmortaIs
 There was a very beautiful rela- tionship between those three American patriots George Wash- ington; Charles Carroll "of Cars rollton" and his cousin John Car- roll, first Catholic Bishop of America. The first two were the wealthiest men in America, and like the third richest patriot in the country, John Hancock, they thought more of the cause of Hb- erty than they did of their money, which they used lberally to back that cause.
 Bishop John Carroll expressed his distinguished cousins view as well as his own in his funeral ora tion for Washington:
 whilst he lived we seemed to stand on loftier ground, for breathing the same air, inhabiting the same country, enjoying the same Constitution and laws as the sublime and magnanimous Wash ington. He was invested with 8 glory that shed a lustre on all around him."
 Charles Carroll lived longer than any of his fellow signers of the Declaration of Independence, to enjoy the respect of his country men and to see his country devel- op, and to take an active part in the new enterprises himself.
 First Railroad
 On the 4th of July, 1928 (52 years after he helped to declare Independence) he drove the first spike in the first American rail- road, the Baltimore and Ohio-in which he was an official, and he lived to see it operating and to ride on 1t himself.

 'Tne wonders which the Lord of Hosts hath worked in the days of our forefathers, have taught us to observe the greatness of His wis dom and his might, throughout the events of the late glorious Revolution; and while we humble ourselves at his footstool in thanksgiving and praise for the blessing of His deliverance, we ac- knowledge you the Leader of the American Armies as His chosen and beloved servant.

 "To the Eternal God who is thy refuge, we commit in our prayer to the care of thy precious life; and when full of years thou shall be gathered unto the people, thy righteousness shall go before thee, and we shall remember, amidst our regret, that the Lord hath set apart the Cody for himself whilst thy name and thy virtues will re- main an indelible memorial on our minds.
