CONCLAVE OF POLIOS
Nineteenth Annual Eucharistlc Con-
gress Opened In London Today
Will Continue Four Days
Special to the Herald
London Sept 9 No event In the
history of the Roman Catholic church
in England has ever brought together
such a gathering of eminent dignita-
ries of the church as the nineteenth
annual Eucharistic Congress which
was opened this evening with a sol-
emn pontifical mass in the great
Westminster cathedral The congress
will continue four days
The Pope by a special letter has
commended the spirit of the congress
and the message will be delivered to
the delegates consisting of more
than one thousand priests a score of
archbishops more than one hundred
bishops eight cardinals and numer-
ous monsignores and others of higher
orders by Cardinal Vincent Vannutel
li a cardinal bishop of the papal
curi in Jtome and the personal repre-
sentative of the pontiff
The Eucharistic Congress is one of
the most important societies of the
Catholic church The central Idea of
the church is in the eucharist the
living presence ot Christ in the bread
and Trine on the altar The eucharist
is one of the seven sacraments of the
church and the most important Out
of it have grown the ritual music
architecture of the church and many
peculiarities of christian social life
among Catholics
The Eucharistic Congress was or-
ganized seventeen years ago for the
purpose of spreading devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament The delegates to
the present congress come from the
United States Canada France Bel
glum Holland Germany Spain Aus-
tria Italy Australia and New Zea-
land and various countries of Asia
Africa and South America
Ceremonies of a most brilliant and
interesting character attended the
celebration of the opening mass to-
day Hundreds of waxen tapers illu-
minated the great marble altar To
the right a throne and canopy of rich
purple silk was erected for the apos-
tolic delegates Ranged about the
ojltar and within the chancel rails
were the cardinals conspicuous
among whom was his eminence Car-
dinal Gibbons of Baltimore The other
members of the Sacred College in at-
tendance were Cardinal Jlathin from
oiipKgkCar < a >
t mh It ecoCarchblshorj ot Bordeaux
Cardinal Fischer archbishop of Co-
logne Cardinal Moran archbishop of
Sydney Cardinal Ferrari archbishop
of Milan and Cardinal Mercler arch-
bishop of Mechlin In addition to Car-
dinal Gibbons the American prelates
who attracted attention included
Archbishop Farley of New York and
Archbishop BruchesI of Montreal
The archbishops and bishops wore
their purple robes and berrettas
which with the crimson robes of the
cardinals and the darker purple of
the papal delegates surroundings
made a most impressive spectacle
In front of the altar and extending
far back in the body of the church
Bat the delegates to the congress in-
cluding hundreds of priests In white
linen robes They filled both sides of
the middle aisles ot pews Along the
side aisles were seated seminarians
and divinity students in black robes
So large was the number of delegates
that they practically filled the ca-
thedral spacious though it is and left
scant accommodation for the great
throng of spectators who sought ad-
mittance
Scarcely less notable than the dis-
tinguished prelates in attendance was

The general sessions of the con-
gress are to begin in Albert hall to-
morrow There also will be dally con-
ferences In Horticultural hall and
other auditoriums There will be ses-
sions for both clergy and lay dele-
gates The papers and discussions
will for the most part be doctrinal
and the central theme will be as the
name of the congress signifies the
Holy Eucharist considered as a sacra-
ment and as a sacrifice in the cele-
bration of the mass
The American colony in London is
much interested In the announcement
that Cardinal Gibbons Is to celebrate
mass in the cathedral next Sunday
The popularity of the Baltimore pre-
late is expected to have much influ-
ence in gaining for the United States
the next meeting of the Eucharist
Congress Though the body has been
in existence now nearly a score of
years it has never met in America
Of the previous eighteen congresses
nine were held In France five in Bel-
gium one in Jerusalem one in Rome
and the last one in Metz The pro-
posal to meet in America next year
seems to be regarded with favor by
many of the prominent delegates here

sorts then the stomach Is diseased

Unreal pleasures of life are the
most expensive
Many a mans strong breath is due
to his weak backbone
It is almost as easy to find trouble
as it is to make excuses
Every man has a different explana-
tion for his failure to make good

that is about all she gets for her
money
