ADDRESSES AT MASONIC TEMPLE BY BISHOPS KEANE, IRELAND AND FATHER CHAPELLE—CARDINAL 01 BONS PRESIDES—WHY WASHINGTON WAS SELECTED FOR THE UNIVERSITT—ITS PROPOSED IXAUGURA- TION NEXT YEAR, ‘The proposed Catholic University, its objects and aims, were discussed at a public meeting last evening at Masonic Temple. The hall was weil filled when Cardinal Gibbons, attended by Bishops Keane, Ireland, and Moore, came in, AS he passed along the middle aisle to the stage the audience arose and remained standing. The cardinal wore & red cassock and the bishops their purple cas- socks, The meeting was opened with prayer, sald by the cardinal, Then in a few pleasant words the cardinal referred to the bishops, who were going to speak, and said that they needed no tntroduction from him, The first_ speaker was Bishop Keane, the rector ofthe new university, In bls opening remarks he referred to the pleasant recoliections he had of his residence in this city, and said that When here he always told his friends to call him Father Keane, as they had been accustomed to do. He said that he felt the new responsibilities of the direction of the new university too great for Bim tobear. He had totimated as much to the pope When he had an hour'sinterview with him about a year ago in Rome, but the pope commended the de- sign of 4 ‘university, and told iim to be good courage and that it would suc- ceed. The bishop then spoke in elo uent terms of the scheme of the university. He sald that its establishment would coutribute to the glory of God and the saiety of the church. He regarded the abasement and error of learning asa perpetual menace to the church, and one object of the university would be Lo demonstrate thal truta is more learned than error. He combatted the idea Unat intellectual attainments were opposed Lo religion, and said that the trutus of nature and the truths of God were the same, ‘The new Unie Yersity would furnish convincing proof that there Was n0 real conflict between religion and science, Tt was pi to leach science at Lhe university, and reiizion would sit enshrined as a queen amid all the sctences, RELIGION, SCIENCE AMD PATRIOTISM. He spoke of the importance to the safety and Prosperity of the nation that religious principles should pervade society. He suid that no truer words had been spoken than were uttered in this city not long ago by the President whea he said Uhat Che Weliare of the nation Was Dest conserved by the prevalence of Christian principles. Suca sentiments, the speaker thought, were worthy of the Chief Magistrate of Unis Datioa, and showed that he believed in the truth that conscience should be the guide of oficial action, Tue bishop sald that the bew university would welcome all young mea to Its halis, Whetuer Catholles or Protestants, Lostead of its being an injury of an obstacie Woexist- Ing schools and colleges It would be of actual beue- AL vo them. The university did not antaconize ol was a step higuer. It would suppl tment the education ot tit cullewe nad furuieas Post-graduate course, He then sald that while the idea of the untversity was a grand oue and its exe. cution received the favor of tue holy fatuer and of | Uhe church, yet in order to succeed money Was needed, and’ for this be would inake an appeal. Baltimore had done nobiy, and he thought that Unis city should give generous ald. Hie referred to Uhe donation aiready received, and sald that a young lady was so much interesied that the day ‘She obtained possession of her paternal estate s dedicated one-tnird to this cause, and gave the noble suin of $300,000, He mentioned tie gift of $50 from poor servant gin, and Ube prowive of 50,000 from two ladies. In Closing he said that he Wanted ali to give, Whether the amount was large or smaail. He asked that collectors be sent Turough the audience to gather the cards which had been distributed at Lue door. W. H. Lepley, EJ. Hannan, T. J. Suilivan, Edmond Mallett, Messrs, Smith, Leonard, Bogus, McHenry, Wavts, Woodward, and Deverdux performed this duty quietly While Bishop Ireiand made an address, SHOP IKRLAND'S PATMIOTISM. ‘The bishop sald Uuat it was MUting that the cen- tenary of the establishment of tne hierarchy ta the United States suould be commemorated by the establistunent of a university. im November, 1889, the centeunial would be observed, and they ex: ted, after the celebration Iu the cathedral at Baitimore, to come over to, tis. clay and lnsugue Tate this great enterprise. The last uumred ye urs had been marked with great church in America. At the opening of the cen- tury Unere Was in the United States but one Cat Oule bishop, and a small number of Cathoiles scai- ered over a small portion of the Eastern states and | in the extreme South, Now the Catuoiles num Dered, at a moderate Computation, nine iniliuo: They’ bad grown in numbers. ‘The speaker sai they had also grown in the coufideace aud est Of the people. At one time the foolish prejudice Wasentervaiued that the church was hostile to the institutions of the country. Now it is recog- nized that «there are no people more loyal to. America to Amem institutions then the Catholics. Having attal: this prominence, the speaker continued, by joe of tuelr ‘holy religion, they might with confidence look forward to greater Urlumpns it U future, The transition from the first bo Uie secot century of the Catholic Church in America would be marked by a noble monument, Unis university, which Will express the strength and hopes of une church to the world. He ten went on to say that ‘the Catholic religion was oue of light, and needed Intelligent minds for its proper reception, He said ‘that this Was an age of great Intelicctual activity and¢he Catholic church should lend its aid in helping men in the bold and fearless search attr truth, The priests of the church had been doing missionary work, establishing churches, schools, &c., Dut now they were to have men who wou devote their lives Wo examiniog all questions Un needed solution, Tothe new university the young men couid go for their answers to sceptical doubts and it would be an arsenal frou which to arm the church in the conflict with unbelief. WHY WASHINGTON WAS CUOSES. ‘The university, he said, was placed in this city, in the center of American life, because here it would be most widely known. They were not afraid of the light; they courted it. The speaker ‘sald that all Americans were proud of tuis Deauti- Tuleity. ‘They felt that It was their city and Weir home. ‘Other cities wanted the university; they made splendid offers. 1n Chicago they said’to tue speaker: “Why didn’t you locate the university here? We would have run up tue building for you ina little wuile.” But placed any where else, tbe speaker said, the university would have been a Jocal institution; now it Will be national. Bishop Ireland evoked & laugh at the expense of Father Chapelle by saying that the latier tad promised that Wasulngton would contrivute $50,000 if the university was located here. “I intend to hold Dr. Chapelle to this nt,” continued the bishop, “and if you don’t contrivute the moucy he wi have to pay it himself.” ‘The bishop then said that in November 1889, they expected the tn their support of (he university pro- then Went on to speak of Une importance be ject. He ‘Of @ university, because of the walenee of error and tue elevating influence which the diffusion of truth from sach @ source would Lave upon the country, CARDINAL GIBBONS’ TALK. Cardinal Gibbons said a few concluding words. He spoke of the general interest in the new uni- versity which he encountered during his recent extended trip throughout the West. He said that the university would be the center of light. Tne Catholic Church loved the There was no Free Masonry about the Chi ‘There was noth- ing to conceal.
