Show CARDINAL GIBBONS. " The announcement that Cardinal Gibbons will i 1G present at the dedication of the new cathedral August 15 gives special interest to the solemn ser- i vices that will take place on that occasion. We !, are told that he is the first Prince of the Church ; to cross the Missouri river and, as a consequence. I ttalt Lake is the first city in the great west to bo honored with so high a dignitary. The Cardinal t holds a very high rank among the literary church ; men of America. His' first wotI to attract atten- t tion was ''The Faith of Our Fathers." one of the ; simplest, clearest and most lucid expositions of con- trovcrted Catholic teaching written in English. He J ha? contributed articles from time to time to our best and ablest magazines, which show that he is ' one of the most remarkable men of our time and country. His talents arc of the highest order, and : no one reading his productions can fail to be af- fooled with the warmth and instructive manner of j his simple style. There is no truer lover of his race and firmer friend of liberty and equality than ; Cardinal Gibbons. To be honored with his.pres- ence is indeed a great honor, and we congratulate ! Bishop Scanlan in securing his presence for that : I auspicious occasion. |
