The scone was one of great brilliancy; and the ceremonies characteristic of that splendor and magnificence for which the Catholic Church is noted. While the absence or" Monsignor Marti-? nelli was marked, it detracted none from the grandeur ot" tho scene, which was far beyond tliat occasion of September 17, when Monsigjsor Satolli, now a member of the sacred congregation, Rome, conferred the Pallium upon the late Archbishop Hennessey in this same Cathedral. Cardinal Gibbons was here to-day as he was then archbihops and bishops from all parts of the United States were here again, and tfr number of priests present was fully double that on the other occasion.

But today in America the reign of ill-feeling and animosity has passed away. In America Catholics and non-Catholics differ from one another in creeds and spiritual allegiance. But as true Americans they respect one another and accord to one another their civil and social freedom, all working together in peace and harmony for the greater weal of society and of country. "Let us be just to America and know and proclaim that all things duly considered, is the Church freer than in America; that nowhere, as in America, is she allowed to live in untrammelled freedom, and prosper as her forces and the zeal of her sons permit."
