We | fear and we feel we shall not look on his like again. The holy father him- self must have senscd our loss as well as his own, since ftom the throne of the flsherman he voices at once the sorrow of his own troubled heart and the sympathy of the Catholic world. “He was a great leader and soldier, whose sword was ever ready to de- fend the Christ and His kingdom. He was the great legislator, wise in coun- sel, prudent in actfon. just in his de- cisions. He was the far-visioned e8u- cator, who would have the world know Christ was the Truth and the Life. Lastly, he was the great pa- triot. Sceme From Middle Ages. The service was like a scem® from the middle ages, like an altar piece come to life. Numberless priests in a seemigly endlgas procession filed into the church, and in their stately rol of the varjed colors of their orders, moved forward to the cata falque on which rested the late .car- dinal in his_archbishop’s vestments of purple. In a few moments the body of the church was filled with this army of clergy and the atmos phere of the twenfieth century was dispelled. There was & harmony of color and sound as the light of the candles around the bier fell on the brilliant ceremonial robes of the priests and the auditorium echoed to the meas- ured rhythm of chanted prayers. Mourners’ Gather. By 9 'o'clock, an hour before the time met for the ceremony, streets surrounding the cathedral were 80 crowded with clergy and laiety that not a square inch of pavement could be seen. At 10 o'clock the whole city, by gubetnatorial and mayoral procla- mation, was urged to drop every ac- ity for a minute in respect to a man’it had numbered among its most distinguished citizens. Every motor. y street car, every wagon was directed to stop in its tracks when the clocks of the city tolled 10. Early in the morning the clergy be- gan forming in front of Calvert Hall diagonally opposite the ca- for the processional. An Impressing Speetacle. It was an impressing spectacle. Clergy in the colors of their respec- tiveSorders headed the line, and be- hind them came the secular clergy, followed by the monsignori, Cardinals O'Connell and Begin, and Archbishop John Bonzano, apostolic delegate and celebrant of the mass. All the high- er church dignitaries wore mourn- ing color of purple. Inside the cathedral, under the gilted dome at the foot of the cen- ter aisle, lay the body of James Cardinal ~ Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore. He rested on a purple- covered afalque, dressed in his archbishop’s robes,” wearing on his head hix archbishop's miter and on one finger the ring that so mamy thou- sands had kissed during his life. The rays of tall white candles lighted his benign features. At the foot of the bier was the cardinal’s hat of red. It was obvious that only a small part of the housunds who sought entry to the cathedral would be able to pass under the great portico, with its tall colunins draped in purple and black. Most of the space was allot- ted to the clergy, and admittance was by ticket oniy. But this did not Bhake the great army of mourners in their hope of attend- ing the mass, or, at least, massed around the great stone pile, of catch- ing the strains of church music that might be wafted to them. Disappoint- ment staring them in the face, they stood their ground with the same de termination that had been displayed by the tens of thousands who yester- day pressed their way into the edifice to view the body of their devoted leader. Yaried Flock Gathers. As varied as the flock to which the capdinal had ministered in life was POPE SENDS TRIBUTE ON CARDINAL’S DEATH Received Here by National Catho- lic Welfare Council Through Cardinal Gasparri. A tribute from Pope Benedict XV to the late Cardinal Gibbons reached the National Catholic Welfare Coun- cil here yesterday through Cardinal Ges- dated March 25 earing the sad news of Cardi- ' death. the holy father pressed the following sentiments,” the message said. “The death of our dearest bhrother, the Cardinal Archbishop of Baltimore, reat g only for his dio- and h but also for the rdinal Gibbons was living testimony of the magnifi- svelopment and the powerful tion which the Catholic ined in his countr: reason he. more than could show to the peo- ple the marvelous fruits that the church can produce for the good of n; ex mankind, eveh in our times and not- withstanding_numberless difficulties. “Cardinal Gibbons, excellent priest, learned master, vigilant pastor. was also an exemplary citizen, and by the example and preaching of Christian virtues in private as well as in secial life, he eontributed eflicaciously to the sound progress of his great coun- try. His memory, therefore. must be cherished with profound venera- tion not only by every Catholic. but | also by every citizen of the United States of America.” | AT CARDINAL’S BIER. | K. of C.
