OFFICIAL PROGRAM
XXVIII International Eucharistic Congress, June 20-24
Savannah, Ga.—Intolerance was
denounced and persons in
Georgia and elsewhere who
“having banded together to
suppress and persecute the
people of certain religious beliefs”
were condemned by Associate Jus
tice James if. Hines of the Supreme
Court of Georgia in an address
which featured the opening day of
tile annual convention of the Geor
gia Bar Assciation at Tybee June 3.
While not mentioning any organiza
tion by name, the press of the state
referred to the address as an attack
on tlie Ku Klux Klan.
Referring specifically to the preju
dice and intolerance directed
against Catholic, Justice Hines said:
“Is Catholicism going to run over
us? Concede their wrong purposes,
which 1 deny. There were 110,000
000 in thi*s country according to tile
last census, of which number 43,000,-
000 were in the churches, and of last
number there were more Protestants
by 3,000,000 than Catholics. In the
State of Georgia there were 25,000
Catholics while there were 2,375,000
people in this state who were not
Catholics, "he Catholic church is
one of the pillars of our civilization.
1 am not a Catholic and I do not be
lieve in their teachings, but I dcr
know that thev believe in the pre
servation of the American home and
of American government.”
There was prolonged applause for
Judge Hines at the conclusion of
the session, according to press ac
counts, and a number of members
of the Association crowded around to
shake his hand as the attorneys were
leaving the pavillion. ^ “I have a
higher regard for the Georgia Su
preme Court than 1 ever have enter
tained after hearing that address,”
one of the lawyers present asserted
at the end of the session.
The address, as reported by the
Savannah Morning News and upon
which the extended Associated
Press account was based, follows:
Without mentioning the name of
any certain organization, in an ad
dress delivered before the Georgia
Bar Association at Tvbce yesterday
afternoon Judge James K. Hines,
Associate Justice of the Supreme
\'ourt of Georgia, asserted in the
course of his remarks:
“The spirit is growing in Georgia
to take the law into our own hands;
the spirit is growing to force the
enforcement of morals and endeavor
to punish people for alleged crimes
without any opportunity being
given them to he heard in their own
defense, and the pity is that among
this class endeavoring to make right
by might are lawyers and ministers
of the Gospel in Georgia. It is bet
ter to have crime and he without
morals than to he subject to the
•whims of people who accuse a de
fendant behind his back without
permitting him a fair trial.”
Continuing his remarks along this
line, Judge Hines asserted that

New York—New York last Friday
bade a welcome whose splendor and
dignity will long be remembered to
six cardinals of the Catholic Church
from as many countries of Europe,
who are come to attend the great
Eucharistic Congress at Chicago.
His Eminence John Cardinal Bon
zano, Legate of His Holiness, Pope
Pius XI to the Congress, led the
imposing array of princes of the
Church. The others were:
Patrick Cardinal O’Donnell, Arch
bishop of Armagh and Primate of
Ireland; Louis Cardinal Dubois,
Archbishop of Paris; Enrico Cardi
nal Reigy Casanova, Archbishop of
Toledo, Spain; John Cardinal Cser-
uoch, Archbishop of Strigonia and
Primate of Hungary; Frederic Car
dinal Piffl, Archbishop of Vienna.
Never before has such an eminent
party of the Catholic hierarchy
reached American shores from Eu
rope, and New York’s reception was
in keeping with that fact.
Particularly was the splendor,
pomp and dignity of the greeting
to Cardinal Bonzano. envoy of Pope
Pius, greater than has ever been
accorded here before to a visitor
from Europe. New York literally
outdid itself in paying honor to the
representative of His Holiness. Fol
lowing the landing ceremonies, His
Eminence was escorted tip Broad
way between solid lanes of cheering
men, women and children backed by
buildings decked gorgeously in the
Papal colors, parochial school cliil-
ren sang hymns and policemen stood
stiffly at attention all along the
route. It was a scene reminiscent
of the great war ovations, many of
which it surpassed.
Lower New York Bay never saw
such a flotilla of yachts and tugs-—
ten in all, with two airplanes hov
ering over them—as met the Papal
Legate at Quarantine. Each boat
carried th fi Papal colors. The pri
vate yarfht Salerno, the beautiful
craft that bore His Eminence up
the bay, occupied a place in the cen
ter of the flotilla. It bore Pat
rick Cardinal Hayes of New York,
who went out to meet the Legate
and steam with him to land. Flank
ing the ten boats comprising the
escort were two of the largest of
New York’s fire boats, hurling long
streams of water high into the air
and adding to the picturesqueness of
perhaps the most remarkable dis
play ever witnessed in this city.
A huge crowd of approximate’^
50,000 persons congregated at the
Battery to greet His Eminence, and
when he walked through the long
lines of police and firemen, a great
cheer went up.
The automobile procession start
ed slowly up Broadway at approx
imately 4:50 P. M., a time when hun
dreds of thousands are leaving of-

Chicago.—Officials of the Eucha-
risic Congress here have made pub
lic the text of a message to Cardinal
Mundelein of Chicago from His Hol
iness Pope Pius XI. It snys:
“We know from official letters re
cently sent us and from bulletins
widely circulated by the press what
spiritual eagerness and unstinted
effort the whole Catholic Church is
lending to the preparations for the
Eucharistic Congress in your city.
“Through the zeal of your devo
tion to the Blessed Sacrament and
through the spirit of your people,
which now is being urged to the no
blest and the greatest heights, these
sacred solemnities will have that
success which is the expectation of
all.
“And rightly so, for as you your
self know, we are here concerned
with the peace-loving King of all,
whether of men or of states, Who
alone, since He is the Author and
Dispenser of ail good, can bring not
only salvation and peace to indi
viduals, but also prosperity and glo
ry to nations. Urge on, therefore,
this great undertaking, so closely
allied to the common good.
“And since you devoutly desire
that the Father of all the faithful be
present at the celebration of so un-
propitious an event, We, in order to
increase the spiritual benefits and
to add to the splendor of the occas-
sion, shall delegate our beloved son,
John Cardinal Bonzano, who, repre
senting us with solemn rite, shall
preside over the congress in our
name and shall take part in its cere
monies.
“To him also, so as to show more
manifestly our good will, wc liavve
entrusted gifts to he presented to
you.
“Meffnwhilc, beloved son, while ex
tending to you and to your collabor
ators a well-deserved praise, we pray
that our Lord Jesus Christ, whose
glory you are striving so zealously
to further, may grant you all need
ed help.
“Of which heavenly gifts may the
forerunner be the Apostolic cBnedic-
tion, which, beloved son, we rnosl
lovingly bestow on you and yours,”
