CONSECRATED BISHOP
Centlnned from Pate One
When they hear the final words of their
Divine Master, 'And behold 1 am with you.'
With these words Jesus strengthens the
touts of the apostles to enable thBm to
carry bravely the important and weighty
postollo burden which He placed upon their
boulders.
SANCTITY OF CHURCH
" 'In these words Christ promised the last
ing stability and sanctity of His Church,'
M)'a St. Jerome, 'and assured His disciples
that he would remain with them, forever,
and make' them victorious In their descend
ants and successors.'
"The- result of this nromlsn In ivrlttatn
l large on every page of the world's history.
Today we are witnesses of a scene Ilka
unto that which was enacted In Jerusalem
ever nineteen hundred years ago. A va
cancy occurs In the apostolate; Peter, In the
person of his successor, says It Is tlmo to
fill It; candidates are presented and con
tiered; the direction of Almighty God Is
asked In prayer, and the lot falls upon
Philip. God chooses him, Jesus calls him,
(Peter appoints him, and Bishops, In union

"Let us rather console htm at this mo

reminding him that Chrlat has chosen him
ror this office, as He chose the apostles.
You have not chosen Me,' He said, 'but I
hae chosen you, and have appointed you.
that you should go and should bring forth
fruit, and your fruit shall remain.' (St.
John xvl, 18.)
"What can mere man add to thlsT Go

labors 1 Go forth with Joy, because He as
sures jou that the fruit shall remain, not
only In His augmented kingdom on earth,
but In His triumphant kingdom In heaven,
where you and your spiritual children shall
enjoy the reward of tho faithful forever."
Long before 10 o'clock, the hour set for
the beginning of the ceremonies, the east
side of Logan Bquare was filled with men,
women and children, who were fortunate
enough to possess admission cards. In the
gathering were not only Catholics, but
members of other faiths. Including edu
cators who know Monslgnor McDevItt as a
fellow teacher as well as personal friend.
The occasion was notable also as a gath
ering of prelates and Catholic teachers
from many dioceses.
The papal bulls were read by the Rev.
John n. Flood, assistant superintendent of
parish Bchools. The Res. William J. Lal
lou and Thomas F. McNally were masters
of ceremonies.
The celebrants of the pontifical mass at
tending the consecration were the Bishop
himself and Archbishop Prendergast. The
Bishop-elect Joined the Archbishop at the
main altar after the offertory.
Before the mass began there was a cer
emonial examination, ln which Monslgnor
McDevItt affirmed his obedience to the Holy
See and professed his faith In the doctrines
of the Church.
The actual consecration took place Just
before the gospel of the mass, when the
assistant consecrators and the bishop-elect
moved to the main altar. There the three
consecrators imposed their hands on the
head of the bishop-elect, and the Litany of
the Saints was sung. Then the bishop-elect
was anointed on the head and hands with
blessed oil, the crosier, or pastoral staff, was
placed. In his hands, the episcopal ring was
put on his finger and the book of gospels
was given him with the Injunction to preach
the faith of Christ.
As the mass drew to a close the new
bishop received the mitre, the particular
headdress of a bishop, and he was enthroned
on tho bishop's seat at the altar. Whllo
the Te Deum, or hymn of thanksgiving, was
sung, the new bishop, accompanied by the
two assistant bishops, moved through the
congregation giving his blessing. After three
invocations were chanted by the new
bishop, wishing his consecrator length of
days, he received the kiss of peace from
the three consecrating prelates, and the cere
mony concluded with the Gospel of St. John.
Tho musical program, which was care
fully selected, lent a charm to the cere
mony. The offertory was sung by a male
chorus of twelve voices. The chorus was
led by William S. Thunder. Gounod's
"Salutarls" was rendered ln a superb man
ner. Mendelssohn.'s "March" was played
as the procession entered the church. Be-

The famed George M Cohan's advice tn
"always lesvo them laughing when you
sav good-be" ha frequently been taker,
to hear by the makers of disc and roll.
Currently there are perhaps more gooc"

Charles Ross Taggart Is an artist who
has glen of his quaint and delectable
talents to the Victor. He Is that rarity,
n home-grown and naturallatlo humorist,
having been raised in the Green Mountains
of Vermont. In one of hls new bits he has
selected a subject of timely lmportar.ee,
modern evangelism. The record Is tl'led
"The Old Country Fiddler Hears Billy
'Sunday," and the hero of the story, having
become n staunch believer In the Sunday
methods after n visit to the tabernacle,
describes the noted religious orator. Thus
are drollery and lmprcsslvcncss combined.
On the reerse side Is 'The Old Country
Fiddler at the Wedding." In even lighter
Vein.
The alluring name of a good Columbia
record Is "I've Got a Sweet Tooth Bother
ing Me," which tells of tho plight of one
Jones. His sweet tooth Is purely meta
phorical, referring to his admiration for
pretty girls. It Is sung by Anna Chandler.
ln quite a different channel of humor
Is the same company' "Nathan." sung by
Rhoda Bernard, n well-known Hebrew dia
lect singer. All the Inflections are natur
ally recorded. Another featuro ottered by
tho Columbia Is "Michael and His Motor
cycle," described ns "a futurist love Btory,"
and given lncronsed sest through tho olce
of Oscar Shaw.
