This will be an j i 'l.i.-rl j.leasure connected with the duties of the-. j j ttw bishop.' Great Falls, which ha- been created ..j ! ! i ' aSee, is a city of about l.",000 inhabitant-, growing and thrifty, situated i northwestern ' Montana. The pojmlalion of the city is largely Catholic,' and one of ihe hrst things that will be done bv the new bishop is the creation of two new parishes. The lernlor.v over which Bishop Lenihan will have jurisdiction comprises in square miles a district about the size of the state of Iowa. CAME AS A G PEAT SHOCK. The sudden death of Archbishop Guidi came as a great shock to the people of the Fnite.1 States to Catholics because he had been so influential in the reorganization of the hierarchy in the Philli-pines Philli-pines under American sovereignty; to non-Catholics because he had conducted ihe delicate negotiations nego-tiations for the sale of the friars' lands so successfully success-fully as to provoko no violent criticism by the partisans par-tisans of either side. This notable achievement was a fitting close of a career which was apostolic as well as official and diplomatic. It is a remarkable remark-able fact that few ecclesiastics have been trained osiecially for ambassadorial work since the loss of the Temporal Power. Among the cardinals tlutt elected Leo XIII there were many such; in the late conclave most of the electors were men Avho hail had the training and experience of parish priests. Born in 1852, Archbishop Guidi attracted the attention at-tention of Pius IX as a young seminarian; and it was largely by direction of that Pope, who had so many painful dealings with government s. that his face was turned toward the career in which he subsequently sub-sequently became so distinguished. Ave Maria. WILL BEC OXSECRATED. Cardinal Vannulelli will officiate at the consecration conse-cration of the Irish Xational Cathedral at Armagh on July 24. He goes to Ireland for that purpose, and on the invitation of His Eminence, Cardinal Logue. Many other prelates will attend the consecration at Armagh, among them most of the English, Irish and Scotch bishops and a large representation of the English Catholic aristocracy. Pius X has granted a special indulgence and the apostolic blessing to all who attend, as the ceremony is to be a sort of national festival to celebrate the paying off of the debt on this great church monument, which took over sixty years to build. Cardinal Logue ,who will celebrate the 'twenty-fifth year of his episcopal promotion on the same day, is to receive re-ceive a gift from the Pope, with the presentation of which Cardinal Vannutelli has been intrusted. DEFEXDS CHRISTIAX BROTHERS. M. Ferdinand Brunetiere, editor of the Revue des Deux Mondes, has written a strong plea on behalf be-half of the Christian Brothers, whom he characterizes charac-terizes as the most democratic men on the face of the earth. They were the first, he said, to teach the poor gratuitously when the great and powerful power-ful were opposed to the vulgarization of education. ' They taught those whom the state teachers, with their diplomas were too haughty to teach. They are even now teaching democratically in their higher schools. "It is an inhuman act," says the same writer, "to deprive fifteen or twenty thousand thou-sand men of that sort of their bread, and that, too, in a democratic republic. Ami all this through fanaticism, and to enable one man to remain in power !" A XEW INDULGENCE. An indulgence has been granted by the Pope to all who recite the office of the Sacred Heart each day for a month. This decree, ' which was dated March 1, is of especial -interest-to League members who frequently recite this office. Any day of the month may be chosen for gaining the indulgence. Besides confession, holy Communion and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father, a visit to any public church must be made on the day on which the indulgence is gained. This favor was granted by Pope Pius at the request of the Bishop of Angers, "in order to increase still further fur-ther tlie love so much to be commended for the Divine Di-vine Heart;' a love already greatly fostered, the bishop said, by the recitation of the little office. "We are persuaded,"' said the Holy Father, "that this favor will greatly contribute to the spiritual good of the faithful"'; while he recalls that bylhe daily recitation of the little office during the year, they gain an indulgence of 200 days for each re- . cital. ' DROPPED DEAD AT ALTAR. Xew York. July 17. Very Rev. Stephen Kealy, provincial of the Passion Order in the United States, dropped dead today while celebrating mass in the St. Michael's chapel of the monastery of the order at West Hoboken, X. J., He was stricken with apoplexy and fell on the altar steps, dying almost immediately. v Father Kealy was born in Ireland in 1848, and celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination a year ago. He was elected to the head of the Pas-sionists Pas-sionists in 189!). |
