I come to your city as your bishop, bish-op, sent here by the holy father, Pope Benedict XV. T did not seek the elevation to the bishopric. I did not expect it. That I should come to your city as bishop was farthest from my thoughts. I have been sent here by the holy father to preach the gospel, gos-pel, to hold aloft the standard of the Savior, to safeguard the Interests of Jesus Christ, to care for his sheen and for his lambs, to work for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Tells His Programme. It Is probably customary for a bishop in his first address In his diocese dio-cese to siaie his programme. T have done so. What I have been sent here to do I shall strive to do to the best of my ability. All that I do shall be dedicated to this end. To the clergy and laity who have so magnificently received me I wish to express my gratitude. To the ladies who have so hospitably prepared pre-pared this pretty little supper we are all grateful. I have had occasion in the past to learn of the splendid character char-acter of the laity of this diocese. This was manifest especially on the occasion occa-sion of the recent visit of the apostolic apos-tolic delegate to our beautiful city. When I left the delegate at San Francisco he asked ab a special favor to carry back to Salt Lake his gratitude grati-tude for a most pleasant reception here. He said that in his tour across the country he was nowhere accorded accord-ed a more pleasant reception than in Salt Lake, and that nowhere In the United States was he mora favorably impressed by the high character of intelligence and devotion of the Catholic laity. The Most Rev. Alexander Christie, D. D., archbishop of Oregon City, pronounced the words of benediction at the conclusion of the bishop's address. Before going to Hotel Utah for the public reception opportunity was given visiting priests and a fw others to meet the new bishop informally. Installation This Morning.
