Returning, the Apostolic Delegate
and Archbishop O'Boyle followed
the procession down the main aisle
to the sanctuary as the choir sang
the Gregorian hymn 'Ecce Sacer-
dos" or Behold the Great Priest. !"
At the sanctuary, the Apostolic
Delegate and Archbishop O'Boyle
knelt in prayer before the main
altar. Then the former went to
the throne on the gospel side and
the latter to faldstool near the
main altar.

sistant priest at the ceremony, said,
20 God, the Shepherd and Ruler
of all the faithful, look with favor
on Thy servant, Patrick, whom
Thou has been pleased to place
over Thy church; and grant him,
we beseech Thee, so to help his flock
by word and example that he may
come to eternal life along with
that flock which Thou has COM
mitted to his care. Through Christ,
Our Lord, amen"
AS the archbishop assembled the
altar to sing the prayer in honor of
st. Matthew, the choir sang the
Gregorian antiphon and versicle of
st. Matthew, patron saint Of the
cathedral. After the prayer, he
descended the altar and was met
by the Apostolic Delegate and Msgr.
Russell, who escorted him to the
throne on the gospel side. The
Apostolic Delegate then handed
Archbishop O'Boyle the crozier. and
went with his attendants to the
throne on the epistle side.
The Archbishop then rose and
sang:
Let the name of the Lord be
blessed, now and forever, amen"
AS the archepiscopal cross-bearer
knelt in the center of the sanctuary
holding the cross with the crucifix
toward the archbishop, the latter
gave his blessing.
Hymn of Thanksgiving.
The "Te Deum Laudamus" hymn
of thanksgiving, sung by the choir,
was then intoned by the Apostolic
Delegate. During the "Te Deum,"
the clergy approached the throne
and kissed the ring Of the Arch
bishop as pledge of their obedience.
The addresses of the Apostolic Dele
gate, Bishop Mcnamara and Arch
bishop O'Boyle then followed, after
which the latter two came to the
center to exchange reverences. The
Apostolic Delegate went to the
throne on the gospel side and the
archbishop to the one on the epistle
side where they vested for the mass.
Archbishop O'Boyle, in his ad-
dress, told the gathering Amer
ica's most distinctive contribution
has been the establishment and
preservation of a society Of free
men who have received equal justice
under law"
"The Founding Fathers" he said,
clearly recognized the existence OF
God and the existence in man,
made to the image Of his Maker, OF
those inalienable rights which
experience shows are never long
respected where the independence
of religion is denied. They saw
quite clearly that the State exists
for the people, not the people for
the State. More clearly than many,
who quote them today, they saw
why that is true.
IF man be not spiritual being
with a destiny higher than mere
temporal existence, there is no rea-
son to limit thus the powers OF the
state. Nor will those limits be long
respected if we do not keep before us
Divine precept: Render to Caesar
the things that are Caesars and to
God the things that are Gods. "
Warns Against Complacency.
The archbishop warned against
complacency in regard to these two
divisions of allegiance, declaring
I'VE should recall the fate OF Chris
tian societies in which proper vigi-
lance was relaxed He said from
the death of st. Thomas More,
four centuries ago, to this very day
men of conviction in many lands
have given their lives in the de-
fense of the supremacy OF con-
science.
"As we read the sombre and do
lorous history of those struggles
and upheavals in other lands" he
continued, I'VE can come to under
stand more fully what our own be-
loved country has been spared, and
should resolve that we. with all men
of good will, shall do all that lies
in our power to prevent the repe-
tition of such horrors here. No one
can deny that our principles have
not been fully applied, and while
we are grateful for the good that
has been done and for having es-
capped great evils, we cannot be
unmindful Of what remains to be
done so that every citizen may re-
ceive his share Of our great Amer
ican heritage"
The archbishop then discussed
"my conception of the primary
work I have been assigned to do
among you"
Contribution Primarily Spiritual.
