Cardinal Gibbons Honored as First Citizen
By Editor
The high honor paid to Cardinal Gibbons "as a citizen" means much more than this. President, ex-President, Vice-President, Supreme Court Justices, Speaker of the House, governors, and other prominent persons to the number of 600, were present on the 25th anniversary of Cardinal Gibbons's installation as "prince of the church." No unofficial citizen was ever so honored, and but few officials. It would be difficult to pay him higher homage if he were President of the United States. It is but a step from Cardinal Gibbons, the first citizen of the land, to the Pope as the first citizen of the world. In this connection let us ask our readers to study the articles on the Revelation.
