A Gift from the Pope

A Gift from the Pope.—The exchange of gifts between the pope and the official head of this government is becoming quite a frequent affair. Many gifts to the pope have been made in recent years by American presidents, the last being a volume of Messages and Papers of the Presidents beautifully bound, and was received by the pope on the 25th anniversary of his pontificate. The pope responded with a magnificent volume of his encyclicals and pontifical acts. Whether or not there is any particular significance in the individual acts, there certainly is significance in the increasing frequency of the exchanges.
