of 411 Mankind.
Ity His Kmlnenre. Jumes, Curdirinl Olbbons,
Archbishop of Ilaltlmore, In Colliers.
The Jilstnry of the papacy In the earlier
cr-nturlr of the church Ip preserved alto-
I ffther In the eocleslnstlcal records of the
Vutlran, and there are no secular authori
ties on the subject. For many years It was
contended hy certain biblical scholars that
St. t'eter'a visit to Rome was largely
legendary, but more recently the beat nu
thorttlea are at one In the opinion that thla
visit Is perfectly historical, and that Peter
died at Rome In much the same way aa
I shall always cherish n special filial the legends recite. Counting St. Peter as
affection for the memory of Leo X1TI. and i the first pope, or rather as the flrat bishop
Ieo. 'n-luslve, 'JO sovereign pontiffs of
Rome, the reigns of whom vary In length
from a few days to the long and glorious
feigns of men like Gregory XVI. Plus IX
and Leo XIII. A comparatively small num
ber of the popes have been canonized, and
these are chiefly the earlier ones. No aalnt
has Bat on the throne of Peter since 15W,
when Plus V ruled. The question of canon
ising the late Pope Plus IX has been long
discussed, but although the conditions seem
favorable In the way of extreme sanctity,
with accompanying miracles and o on
It may be centuries before the church will
take positive action. The following Is a
complete list of all the popes of Rome from
Teter to beo. with the dates of their elec
tion and death. The months and years
given here will be found to be Inconsistent
with accepted dates, but the difference Is
due solely to the variation In the calendar.
The list Is from Gams and Is entitled "Series
Eplscoporum Romanae Eocleslae," which Is
accepted by the Roman Catholic church as
being correct, and Is recorded In the regis
ters of the Vatican:
of
I deem It a personal sorrow that, In the
providence of Omi1. I will be sparpd to p-iy
homage to his great memory. For nearly
2.000 years the bishop of Rome has bec-n
tho most conspicuous flKure In the theater
of public life. The name of the sovereign
pontiff la Indelibly marked on the pages of
ecclesiastical history. It Is Intimately und
Inseparably associated with the pronress,
enlightenment and Christian civilization of
the world.
Of the 200 popes who have sat In the
chair of Peter, few of them have exerted
a wider or more beneficial Influence on the
social, the political and the religious world
than the pontiff about to be callod to render
an account of the stewardship of the
church. He Is a consummate statesman as
well as an enlightened churchman.
In the course of his pontificate he Issued
series of masterly and luminous en
cyclicals. They have served as moral land
marks to his spiritual children, and have
commanded the rexpect and admiration of
the civilized world. They all related to
topics of timely and vital Interest. I have
but to refer only to three of these public I
letters.
I'npe I.eo's Knoj clients.
The first encyclical to which I shall allude
la on "Christian Marriage," which was pub
llHhed In 1880. The holy fathet vindicates
In strong and earnest language the unity,
the sanctity, and the Indissolubility of the
marriage bond. He tells us that the mar
ried couple are the source of the family,
and the family Is the source of society.
Social life can not be mulntalned In Its
purity and Integrity unless It Is sanctified
at the fountalnhead of the home. For the
stream does not rise above Its source.
The encyllcal on "The Condition of Work
men" waa promulgated In 1X91. and Is an ex
haustive document on the rights and duties
of the laboring classes. Never did the Re
deemer of Mankind confer a greater tempo
ral blessing on humanity than by ennobling
and sanctifying manual labor, and by rescu
ing It from the degradation which had been
attached to It. "Christ comes Into the world
not surrounded by the pomp and splendor of
an Imperial majesty, but He appears as the
reputed son of an artisan. "Is not this the
carpenter, the son of Mary? the people said
of Him.' He hna shed a halo around the
workshop and has lightened the workman's
tools by assuming the trade of an artisan."
If the profession of a soldier, of a Jurist,
or of a prelate can be dignified by the ex
amples of a Washington, a Taney and a
Carroll, how much more is the calling of a
mechanic ennobled by the example of
Christ!
A conflict between labor and capital Is as
unreasonable as would be a contention be
tween the head and the hands. The Inter
ests of capital and labor are correlative
Capital without labor would be unproduc
tive: labor without capital would be un
profitable. What would it avnll a capitalist
to say: "Behold, this mountain of coal is
mine." if there was no hardy sons of toll
to extract the coal from its recesses and
end It to the market? What would it
profit the laborer to exhibit his brawny arm
and his skill if there were no capitalists to
give him employment?
Relation of the Church to Civil Gov
ernment. The third encj Ideal to which I shall al
lude appeared In 18S5, and treats of the
"Constitution of the Christian States." In
this document the holy father clearly dem
onstrates that the Catholic church can
adapt Itself to all forms of civil govern
ment. When I was Invited to Rome by the
pope. In 1SS7. to receive the Insignia of a
cardinal. I delivered an address in the
Church of Santa Maria In Trastevcre, my
titular church, and aa I took this encyclical
for the text of my remarks, I cannot do
better than to give the following abstract
of the sermon which was pronounced upon
that occasion.
Our holy father, Leo XIII in his
luminous encyclical on the "Constitution of
Christian States." declares that the church
Is not committed to any particular form of
civil government. She adapts herself to all.
She leavens all with the sacred leaven of
the Gosnel. She has lived under absolute
empires, under constitutional monarchies
and In free republics, and everywhere she
grows and expands. She has often. Indeed,
been hampered In ha divine mission. - She
has even been forced) to struggle for ex
istence wherever despotism has cast its
dark shadows, like a ptant shut out from
the blessed sunlight of heaven. But In the
genial atmosphere of liberty she blossoms
like the rose.
For myself, aa a citizen of the United
States, and without closing my eyes to our
shortcomings aa a nation, I say with a
deep sense of pride and gratitude tha I
Rome, there have been, from Peter to
Imte of
Election. Name. Pate of Death.

belong to a fcountry where the civil govern
ment holds over us the aegis of Its
protection without intermission as ministers
of the Gospel of Christ. Our country nu
liberty without license, and authority
without despotism.
On March S, 1902, when the holy father was
entering on the year of the sliver juouee
of his accession to the throne of Fetcr, I
Issued a letter to all the bishops and priests
of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, In which
I paid my tribute to the great deeds of the
noble pontiff. In this letter I told of the
love which Leo entertained for the Ameri
can church, a distinctive trait which should
especially endear him and his memory to
his children In the United States. He
always manifested the utmost Interest In
all thut concerns the welfare of America.
He gloried In the freedom of our religious
life, and rejoiced In the scope and magnifi
cence of our Institutions. Only a brief
period since, he referred in touching terms
to the great consolation which he derived
from the flock of Christ in the United
States. At the same time, he bemoaned
the troubles and disappointments occasioned
him by those children who were nearer to
him from whom ingratitude ought not to
have come.
No tribute to Leo XIII would be complete
without allusion to his vast Intellectual
labors. There is no department of art, lit
erature, or science that has not received
fresh Impetus from his encouragement,
been advanced by his generosity, enriched
by his liberality. The Borgia apartments
In the Vatican, long years hermetically
sealed, were thrown open by him to the ad
miration and delight of all lovers of art.
The Vatlcnn library and archives, with all
their treasures, both literary and historical,
have been made accessible by him to all
all go at 50c
la this lot, for they are very good.

His Influence In Every Sphere of Life.
Deeper and broader investigation in the
scriptures and science has been urged by
him with special Insistence and emphasis,
and to this effect have been Issued ency
clicals remarkable for loftiness of thought
as well as for the parity and elegance of
their style.
During these twenty-live years his piety
and seal have been no less conspicuous than
his enlightenment. Noting the evils which
must necessarily threaten both Individuals
and society from the prevalence of divorce,
he has described In words that burn the
beauty and holiness of Christian marriage,
and implored his children never to depart
from those sublime Ideals of the married
state, which have been the church s glory
during all the years of its marvelous ex
istence. In like manner, equally alive to
the dangers that threaten society and gov
ernments from lack of Christian education
and from the existence of communistic and
Nihilistic organisations, which recognize
no rights, either of God or man, his far
reaching voice has ever rung out In warn
ing and condemnation. It is in his larger
sphere of international life. In the affairs of
nations, that his wisdom, prudence and
foresight have excited tha admiration of the
world and won for him unstinted encomi
ums from the greatest contemporary states
men. In troublous times, In national crises,
when the peace and order of powerful na
tions have been at stake, appeals weio
made to him for Intervention and arbitra
tion. And not in vain. His tact, absolute
fairness, his spirit of prudent conciliation
the principal elements of his genius In
vested him with a moral power, a moral
Influence and a moral grandeur not less re
markable than rare in times like these,
when physical force and enorirtms weulth
play so Important a part in the world's
progress.
I should like to refer briefly to my per
sonal reminiscences of Pope Leo. I have
crossed the ocean back and forth sixteen
times, and during the ponttneate of the
late sovereign, every visit has been memor
able, principally because of his kindness
and condescension. My first visit to Rome
was on the occasion of tho Vatican council
In 189. Tho holy father was then known as
Cardinal Peccl, archbishop of Perugia. His
Image Is now before me aa he appeared dur
Ing the council. He Impressed me then as
a courtly prelate of a striking personality,
as a man wno would be singled out as a
conspicuous churchman In a group of emi
nent ecclesiastics. I attended all the ses
slons of the Vatican council, which lasted
upward of seven months, and I observed
that Cardinal Peccl never spoke once in the
public or general congregations. But he con
tributed In no small measure to trie success
of that great synod by the wisdom of his
counsel In the private deliberations of the
bishops. '
The Pop and Cardinal lesait.
My next ytstt to Rome was In 1880,. two
years sfter Io was elevated to ths chair of
Peter. I well remember with what eager
ness snd delight I determined to thank the
holy father for having Invested John Henry
Newman with the sacred purple. Few of
ficial acts of the sovereign pontiff were re
ceived with mora genuine satisfaction by
the English-speaking world than this prac
tlcal and graceful recognition of the eml
nent service rendered to religion by Eng
land's Illustrious scholar and divine.
Ths third time I met Leo XIII mas In the
fall of 18i3 and the spring of 1S84. The holy
father had Invited the archbishops of the
United States to Rome for the purpose of
holding a series of conferences with three
of the most learned Roman cardinals. These
conferences formed the basis of the Third
I'lenary council or tmiuinore, which waa
held In November, ISM. and which was the
most Important ccleslaslical deliberative
assembly that met outside trie Eternal City
for three centuries.
My fourth visit to the holy father waa In
1887, when his holiness invited me to Rome
to confer upon me the unmerited honor of
the cardinalattal insignia. During my so
journ In Rome in that year the pope be
stowed on me many marks of his parental
affection and friendship. These many evi
dences of his sovereign benevolence are too
sacred for public utterance, but are Indeli
bly Imprinted on my heart and memory I
again saw the holy father In 1895, and last
during the summer of 1901. I recognized lit
tle alteration In his appearance, except that
his form appeared to be more bent and his
emaciated face was almost as white and
transparent as an alabnster statue. But his
eye retained the brightness and penetration,
and his mind the vigor and lucidity of for
mer years, and his memory wns strikingly
retentive, as was evident from several inci
dents which occurred in my presence.
Of the illustrious race from which Pope
Leo sprang, much has been written. Of
his own deeds, history will write the record.
Only two popes have exceeded Leo in
longevity, and only three supreme pontiffs
have ruled the Universal church for a
longer period, namely: Saint Peter, Plu
VII and Pius IX. My revered predecessor,
Archbishop Spalding, died upward of thirty
years ago. and at the time of his death
he was venerable in years, and in appear
ance. and his hair was slivered with the dust
or time. Yet had he lived to this day. he
would be a younger man than Pope Leo.
Leo XIIIe Brilliant Career.
His holiness waa ordained a priest In
December, 1K37, and was consecrated Arch-
oisnop in IMS, sixty yeara ago. He was
already an archbishop before the larger
part of this nation was born, and he actually
lived longer In the episcopate than any of
his predecessors. He was created a car
dlnal in 1853. and was raised to the chair
of Peter in 1878. The pope ever stands be
fore us aa the commander-in-chief of the
Army of the Lord of Hosts. You might
as well shut out the light of day or the
air of heaven from your dally walks na
exclude the Roman pontiff from his
legitimate and permanent sphere In the
hierarchy of the church. The history of
the United States, with the president left
out, would be more intelligible than the
history of the Christian religion with the
omission of the name of the Vicar of Christ.

at the daring but polite manner of the
young soldier and the acquaintance rapidly
ripened Into a love affair.
