Until he was 13 years old the life
of the future Cardinal was that of
any other schoolboy in Ireland. Then
his father, who had never fully re-
covered from the sickness which
caused him to leave America, died,
and his widow determined to re-
turn with her children. She embark-
ed on a nailing vessel for New Or-
leans, but before reaching there,
the ship wiis wrecked on one of
the Bahamas. The passengers clung
to the ship all night, they were
rescued and taken to Nassau,
where they waited until they could
continue their passage to Now Or-
leans.

St. Christopher, passing before the

til rough the stream, finds his
strength becoming greater and firm-
er and richer by the burden on hfa
shoulders.
The principal effects of spiritual
idleness are weariness, followed by
indifference and then negligence In
the observance of the Conimaud-
manta of God and His Church, and a
resentment against those who try to
arouse in us a sense of our relig-

(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
The name of James Cardinal Gib-
bons is the keynote and center of
the modern history of the Catho-
lic Church in the United States. It

And if ths name of Gibbons is the
'master word that expresses the
spirit of the Catholic Church in the
United States, the mighty and vast
: Church of to-day, it Is only won-
drously linked through many vital
associations with the very roots of
the Church and of tho Nation as
well. Not only is this true, hut it
also Is true that James Gibbons is a
name that stands as the title of a
life story which is qu lutes sent Sally
American. The high romance of this
humble child of humbio Irish immi-
grant parents, covering the better
part of a century coincidental with
the mighty growth and development
of the American nation, rising out
of obscurity, weakness and hamper-
ing conditions to a unique eminence

Soon after receiving his vocation
not yet consecrated—the seat of Ca-
tholic Influence in the United States
—had been ths pride of that other
and even greater Carroll, John, the
first Archbishop and Primate of the
Catholic Church in the United Stat-
es, Archbishop Carroll had died be-
fore the Cathedral was opened for
worship, but ha had left It with "the
organization of the Church planted
on a foundation that would stand
the shock of the Know Nothing'
times soon to come and prove firm
and lasting In tho marvelous career
of development that was coming be-
fore the new republic," as Allen S.
XVili writes in his life of Cardinal
Gibbons.
“These links with the Revolution
and the birth of the Church were
part of the atmosphere surrounding
the future Primate, and as a child,
James Gibbons was uplifted in the
arms of his Irish immigrant father
to fiaM upon Andrew Jackson, 'Old
Hickory’ hero of the yc.img Repub-
lic's second successful struggle with
the imperial power from which it
bad won the world-heartening and
world-changing liberty sealed with
the Immortal Declaration.
"Never was there a soul in which
the spiritual forces of religious and
patriotic idealism found more con-
genial soil, nor in which these in-
fluences produced more practical and
*:.L.;":le results than the soul of that
child who gazed in awe upon the
patriotic Jackson and the house of
the patriot Carroll, and in a deeper
Awo looked upon the mysterious al-
tar in the Cathedral built by John
Carroll, tho first Bishop of tho in- :
fant Church. And in no American '
more then in James Gibbons has t
great twin-fires of religion and pa- .
triotism been united to greater ;

says tho Baltimore Sun. "For more
than a generation he hde been rec-
ognized as one of the foremost
Americans. He helped to mako the
history of his country and exercised
snore influence upon the mental and
mural development of his day than
almost any other individual.
•'If tho files of the newspapers for
the last thirty or forty years a.re ex-
amined it will be found that tow
names occur oftener than his; that
few men were quoted so frequently
and respectfully. Statesmen and
Presidents were his friends; Sts was
a sort of oracle whom representa-
tives of all parties rrmsnited; he was
the man of all others whom they all
delighted to honor. Sines Joseph’s

interfere with him; neither the pre-

that were his from the beginning,
the recon-
struction .
“It is difficult in these days to -
comprehend the magnitude of the
task the new Bishop had been set
to perform. He was just 34 yeera
old. Hie duties called for the
strength, the vigor and the eathus-
msm of youth, yet the diaereUon,
tho taet, the judgment and the di-
plomacy of a man of mature age.
In the million population of the
State there were not more than
800 catholics. The remainder of the
nlace WIHaatiOB was for the most part
£ ^Piclous. It was said that many
’ of the mountaineers had never heard
of a priest, and others believed that
a a priest had horns and was possess-
- ed of the devil, it was under these
conditions that the Bishop was ex-
pected to build up tbe Church end

mained from 1854 until 1857, when!
he was enrolled at St. Mary’s Sem-
inary, the famous Sulpiclan Institu-

June 30, 1861, in the Cathedral by
Archbishop Kenrick.
Cnrdirml Gibbons As Chaplain
, The priesthood of James Gibbons
began, as It ended, tn war time. The
John Brown raid, the fugitive slave
riots, tho formation of the Southern
Confederacy, were taking
while he was studying in St. Mary’s
Seminar}-, and when he was ordain-
ed In 1861 the great struggle was
on. Southern in bis associations
and sympathies, he wa.s yet a
sturdy Union man; a believer in the
Nation; and as a volunteer chaplain,
serving the war prisoners at Forts
McHenry and .Marshall, he brought
the consolations of religion to the
victims of fratricidal war. Follow-
ing tho Cross, and loyal to the Flag,
treading the path of priestly duty,
so his career began on the road it
was to follow throughout that mar-
velous career which de the pride of
the Churnh in America to-day.
Young Father Gibbons was a par-
ish priest as wall as a chaplain; his
first and only parish being St. Brid-
get’s in Baltimore. He had charge
also of a church across the Patapseo
; but be was soon called to

Secretary to Archbishop Spalding of
Baltimore in 1865, and in tho fol-
lowing year ho wan appointed Assist-

In New Orleans James Gibbons ob-
tained employment in the large gro-
cery store of William C. Raymond,
displaying a natural aptitude for
business, and becoming so valuable
to the flrm that when he decided
to give up his career he was offered
a substantial promotion If he would
remain.
But the time had come for James
Gibbons to be about" his Father’s
business. For to him thenceforth
the affairs of thia world, while never
ceasing to be of interest, became
quite secondary, and important on-
ly as they served to advance what
tho Cardinal regarded as the true
Interests of men—their relations to
God—in one word:. Religion.
In the official biography bf the
Cardinal there is one simple gi
fence in which is compressed _
wealth of deep meaning, and 'which
explains why it was that James
Gibbons turned from the business
of this world just as the gateway .
of worldly success was swinging higher
open before his vigorous advance, ~ iwnes.
This sentence Is as follows: "The
deep piety of his mother exerted a
marked Influence in the impression-
able period of his early life.” -ft-ts
a sentence which explains not only
the career of James Cardinal Gib- v,d^. ««
bong, but the careers also of the
numberless host of priests, mission-
aries, nuns, princes of the Church,
and devout laymen and lay women,
who have carried the light and en-
ergy of the Catholic Faith out of
Ireland to all the ends of the earth.
Surely it is no concession to a
spirit of curious mysticism if we see
in the event which fanned the love
of religion, implanted and fostered
in James Gibbons' aiyjl by his fath-
er and his mother into the flame of
seif-sacriflcc and consecration, a
Providential harmony of instruments
