Cardinal Gibbons Celebrates
The Golden Jubilee of His
Ordination To the Priesthooa
Baltimore, Md.. June 5.—At no time
In the pcclesiastical history of the
United States, has such whole-souled
and hearty co-operation. inesi)eciive of
sect or creed, been in evidence as that
which has made possible the notable
gathering of prominent men that will
aasemble tomorrow afternoon in the
Fifth Regiment Armory^ to pay hom
age to America’s only Prince of the
Church, Jarnea, Cardinal Gibbons, In
-ommemoratlon of the golden jubilee
•f his ordination to the priesthood and
the ^liver jubilee of his carditalate.
'I'his event stands unique not only
be( ause it is the greatest public cele
bration ever tendered the member of
Uie American clergy, but because of
Ihc' widespread non-sectarian interest
shown and the hearty friendliness and
' reverence of men whose religious opin
ions condclt with the faith of His
Kininence.
The exercises will take place from
'four to six tomorrow atternoon, but
already the streets of Baltimore give
evidence that something unusual Is
a??tir. Men famous in the current
history of the United States such as
Speaker Champ Clark. ex-Speaker Joe
Cannon and Chief Justice White, of
the United States supreme court, are
already rubbing elbows with less fa
mous personages in the hotel lobbies;
while President Taft, ex-Presldent
Theadore Roseve’t, and Bishop John
(Jardrer Murray, of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, togeth
er with other clerical and political
delegations will arrive tomdVrow. AH
Baitinore Is In gala attire and all Bal
timore together with every liberal-
minded man in America wishes His
R*'verence, the Cardinal well.
Xo words can give an adequate idea
of the reverent respect which Cardinal
Gibbons has engendered in the minds,
not only of his fellow townsmen and
among Catholics at large, but througli-
out the whole United States. In fact,
wherever he has come in contact with
frtllowmen, whether they be devotees
of all the varying creeds of Christiani
ty, bis broad outlook upon life, ur
bane manner, and intellectually have
Instantly won him friends. For years
no convention, celebration, or delib
erative conference whether secular oV
religious that has been held in Balti
more or Its vicinity has been complete
without the presence of iiis Emi
nence.
Not only has his innate charm of
manner, drawn to him men high up in
the affairs of the great American re
public, but his kindl/ philosophy, keen
insight into temporal matters, and
championship of the proletariat, had
gained him the tmbounded admiration
and love of all classes of society
whether they numbered themselves
among his flock or stood upon the oth
er side of the religious force.
Unfailing and unflinching applica
tion to duty, an unquenchable ap-
_ petite for work and a brilliancy of in
tellect far above his fellows, have
I been the prime characteristics of this
I remarkable man, who has risen from
j the lowest order of the Catholic priest-
jhood by leaps and bounds, till to-
j day he is at the head of the Univor-
j sal Church in America and numbers
[among his flock over 18,000,000 fol-
I lowers. With these huge totals in
I mind it will readily be seen that His
j Excellency’s position is no sinecure,
j Beside the actual routine of his office,
j4ie must devote considerable time
j to the numerous affairs, official and
! otherwise that claim his attention as
j head of the Catholic Church in
America. He roceives invitations from
: important bodies all over the country;
jhls presence is in demand as arbi-
,ter in both great and petty disputes
j arising among all classes of society,
his literary productions are another
’ .«ource of personal effort; and In ad-
I dition to these drains upon both vitali
ty and time, the Cardinal maintains
an extensive social acquaintance that
has endeared him to the heart of a
community where erudition is placed
before wealth, and birth and breeding
;are held to be the fairest jewels that
' grace society.
The daily program of this man of
77 affords hints of industry that might
well be taken to heart by younger men.
He invariably rises at not later than
6 o’clock in the morning wid some-
I times an hour earlier if work is press
ing. Perhaps an hour may be spent in
his study before breakfast and after
his morning meal he turns to the task
of answering his heavy correspond
ence. The remainder of the forenoon
is divided into three periods—one for
the celebration of mass, another for
^ the reception of visitors and
the third for a short stroll. After lun
cheon, the cardinal devotes an hour
to a siesta—an interval of relaxation
to which he attributes much of vhe
credit for an ability to continue the
long day’s work with unimpaired vig-
^ or. l^ater there is a futrher devotion
I tx) clerical papers and correspondence,
jwith perhaps the reception of a few
, visitors of importance, by appoli;:-
ment.
j Later in the afternoon the aged
prelate goes for another walk of a
mile Or more, meeting and saluting
, on the street hundreds of persons who
• have become familiar with his tall,
gaunt figure, light cane and top hat.
Walking Is the Cardinal’s sole indul
gence, and the pleasure he takes in
this form of exercises carries him far
afield and has made him known to
every policeman. In Baltimore, as well
as nine-tenths of 4he population. The
Cardinal almost never receives callers
, in the morning.. His post-prandial
hours are devoted to the routine of
I Church matters or perhaps at rare in
tervals, with reading in his study.
I These evenings alone, however, are
few and far betw’een, for His Eminence
is m constant demand as a guest at
public and private dinners, and as
'speaker at gatherings of various kinds.
The Cardinal’s household consists
of six young priests, one of whom
acts as his private secretary, out it
is seldom that one or more visiting
priests or* churchmen of high rank
are not being entertained as guests at
the hospitable mansion. The venerable
prelate’s residence is an imposing
structure, severely plain, but inter.*
esting as to the outside, and with
an inside filled with old and valuable
paintings, sculpture and other rare
and beautiful art objects. The first
floor is given over to four drawing
and reception rooms, all opening from
a spacious hall and dining room. On
the second floor is the Cardinal’t; suite
of private apartments, jbicluding stu
dy, ante-room, sleeping poom and bath,
while the remainder of this floor and
the entire third floor contain the va
rious apartments of the other members
of his household. A number of servants
look after the welfare of the Cardinal
and his household, the roster in
cluding an up-to-date and typically
American office boy, an old negro but
ler of uncertain age, with a pro
found r€|jpect for “de Card’nal.”
The meteoric rise of this remarka
ble man from the humblest estate of
boyhood to his present eminent eleva
tion is unequaled in the history of
the Church. James Gibbons was born
in Baltimore on July 23rd, 1834. In
childhood he was taken to Ireland by
his parents, where he remained till
he was 17. Returning to Baltimore,
he determined to devote his life to
ihe priesthood and entered the semi
nary to prepare for the work. He was
ordained at the age of 27 and immed
iately appointed to a curacy. This
place he held for only a few months,
when he was placed In charge of a
parish on the outskirts of the city of
his birth, as rector.
Archbishop Spalding called him to
the diocese three years later to be
come his secretary and chancer. Twen-
tyfour months afterwards, in 1866, the
second plenary council of the Ameri
can Roman Catholic Church was con
vened there and the young priest was
made assistant chancellor of that aug
ust body, representing the hierarchy
of the United States.
Two years later, when but 24 years
old, he was appointed vicar apostolic
PURCHASE FREEDOM FROM
WORRY.
The worvy cow might have lived till
now.
If she hadn’t lost her breath;
But she feared one day she’d not have
enough hay
And that worried her to death.
This is not poetry. It is doggerel.
Nevertheless the homely lines convey
a meaning not to be lost—the priceless
value of “freedom from worry.”
