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.

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.

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 George Washington, “father of his (Continued on page 10) SUNDAY, JUNE 20. 5 a. m.—A solemn High Mass will be elebrated in all the churches of the Archdiocese of Chicago to he followed by low masses, at inter vals of one-half hour, until high noon.

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.

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.
