The International Eucharistic Congress.—
In our Outlook department will be found an extended report by one well qualified to report and review the proceedings. Of the main thing in that great gathering, a Catholic paper, the Western Watchman, says: “The Eucharistic procession in Montreal was the greatest triumph our Eucharistic Lord has ever achieved. ‘He came to his own and his own received him.’” “That Eucharistic procession in Montreal was the greatest event of the last four hundred years. It was the answer of the thinking twentieth century to the mad orgies of the decadent Protestant world.” And the London Times correspondent said: “With over 100,000 Roman Catholics in a procession of the Host through the streets of Montreal this afternoon the Eucharistic Congress came officially to an end. Altho the march began at Notre Dame Cathedral before 2 o’clock this afternoon, Cardinal Vannutelli, bearing the Holy Sacrament, did not reach the base of Mount Royal until shortly before 7 o’clock this evening. There, in a great open space, his eminence celebrated mass while 200,000 people lined the slopes of the hill. The procession was representative of every office of church and state, among those who took part in it being Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the premier of Quebec, Sir Lomer Gouin.” These items will emphasize the article by Mr. Snow. They also show again the Roman Catholic view of Protestantism.
