Opening Day of Eucharistic Congress
in Setting of Splendor Legate
( of Pope is Installed.
I Chicago. June 20. Solemn and
.stately ceremonies symbolizing the
faith of nineteen centuries and the
unity of a worldwide church marked
(the formal opening today of the
; twenty-eighth international euchar
istic congress.
One of the mightiest hosts of pil
grims ever assembled in Christendom
for the purpose of making public pro
fession of faith in Jesus Christ in
augurated their five day festival by
worship in more than five thousand
masses which preceded magnificent
services in the cathedral of the Holy
Name, in which his eminence John
Cardinal Bonzano was formally in
stalled as the legate of Pope Plus
XI.
Cardinal Mundelein. sponsor of
the congress and host to its pilgrims,
uttered thanksgiving in his address
to Cardinal Bonzano for the spiritual
harvest epitomized in the reception
of the holy communion by more than
one million rotils in the Chicago arch
diocese, today.
Churchmen from. Many Lands
Archbishops, bishops, abbots, and
priests, as well as lay pilgrims from
the far-flung realms of the earth
bowed before the resplendent cathed
ral sanctuary whence eleven cardinal
priests, on princely thrones, led in
the adoration of the eucharist.
Among participants in the cathed
ral ceremonies were- approximately
100 bishops, a score or more of mil
red abbots, more than 200 monsign-
ori. several thousand priests and
monks, six hundred seminarians and
hundreds of nuns all clad in the
robes of their office or order.
l r.e ecclesiastical procession as
sembled in Quigley seminary, three
blocks from the cathedral, passing
in a great throng to the sanctuary
It began with a group of youthful
acolytes in white and lace, white
shoes and gloves, red girdles and
capes, and carrying a large guilded
crucifix surrounded by burfing can
dles, it ended with the entry of the
eleven cardinals in their scarlet robes
and trains. Between were thousands
of clergy in the order of their, rank.
Guards of Honor
Uniformed guards of honor from
the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre,
Knights of St. Gregory and the
Knights of St. Sylvest accompanied
many of the bishops.
The ceremonies began with the
reading of the papal order, first in
Latin and then in English, by the
Very Reverend Monsignor Dennie J
Dunne of Chicago. In his message J fc A
to the congress. Pope Pius defined the jFOiCSl&lllS sjC

ishes according as charity burns ac
tively or dims down, it evidently de
pends on the eucharist, since this
sacrament, by its nature and effects,
has for its principal object the in
crease of charity in the soul and the
perfect union of the soul with God."
After the installation of the le
gate, pontifical hish mass was cele
brated by"he Right R
lin, bishop of Amur, Belgium, assist
ed by a score of distinguished prel

of pontifical cerempnies at the Vati
can, was at the altar as director of
ecclesiastical formalities. The Right
Rev. Ignaz Seipc-1, former chancellor
of Austrial, was attendant at the le
gate's throne.
Chant of Latin Hymns
Latin hymns by St. Thomas
Aquines. the laureate of the euchar
ist, were chanted in the mass of the
Ulesscd Sacrament by Bishop Heylin.
After the benediction, the sacrament
was exposed at the cathedral altar
for perpetual adoration during euch
aristic week.
Cardinal Bonzano concluded his
greeting to the assemblage with a
prayer for "the peace of Christ in
the kingdom of Christ, the reign of
good will under his dominion, the
freedom of the spirit and the cheer
ful subjection of his law."
Cardinal Mundelein, in a sermon
on the doctrine of the eucharist, as
serted that "no king on earth, no
emperor of Rome, was ever honored
as Jesus Christ is honored today in
the city of Chicago."
"Surely not all the gold and the
jewels of the universe would prove
so pleasing in God's sight as this
mighty obligation of contrite and
loving hearts opened to receive the
bread that cometh down from heaven
this day.
To the multitude of earnest hon
est souls outside the church, this
congress too has its message. Far
be it from me to look upon it as a
demonstration pf strength and num
bers. Little would it avail us were
we to vaunt our superiority and our
own glory. Rather it is our hope
that the example of our vivid at
tachment to the holy eucharist and
our evident appreciation of the gift
that is ours therein, may encourage
them to learn for themselves of this
marvelous condescension of God's
part to us humans."

The Rev. Stephen A. Boyd, pastor
of the First Congregational church
of V.'ilmette, summarized the charac
teristic attitude of his Protestant
ministerial associates when he said:
"So matter how much Catholic and
Protestant branches of the Christian
church may differ in expression of
their beliefs, there is no real differ
ence in the fundamentals of their
common faith. Therefore, when
either branch assembles to do honoi
o our common Lord, the heart of
every true follower rejoices and the
hand of every Christian is extended
in welcome
The Rev. Melbourne P. Boynton,
pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist
church, offered this thought: "The
congress will serve as an introduc
tion for many thousands of Catholics
to America and her institutions. They
will see how prosperous all religions
are here, because each is free to ex
press itself in its own way and in its
maximum zeal.
The Rt. Rev. Charles P. Anderson,
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Chicago, declared that the
Eucharistic congress will be one of
the greatest religious spectacles ever
staged in Chicago. It will bring re
ligious leaders from all parts of the
world, who will return home and tell
from their personal observance what
a power for progress, harmony and
greatness in this land is the freedom
of conscience and worship."

General C. II. Van Wyck, Nebras

Springs, Neb., Gage county, Nov. 7,
1879, and is in a firm hand written
by Capt. Murdock in his prime. He
died at Wymore in 1924 at the age of
81.
The letter is addressed to an of
ficial of the railway at Beatrice,
where the Burlington terminated at
that time, and requests a pass to
Omaha for Mr. Murdock, who also
acted for the railway in a certain
capacity at that time.

Chicago, June 23. For years a
mainstay of the Chicago National
league Cubs' pitching staff, Grover
Cleveland Alexander was Tuesday re
leased via the waiver route to the
St. Louis National league Cardinals.
The decision to release Alexander
it was said at the Cubs offices here
following his infraction of the train
ing rules, which caused Manager Joe
McCarthy to suspend him. The Car
dinals secured Alexander at the
waiver price of $4,000.
"If St. Louis had not taken Alex
ander, it was our intention to re
lease him," President Bill Veeck of
the Cubs said.
