Under Archbishop Carroll's wise and brave leadership the diocese of Baltimore, from a poor, disorganized flock, had grown until it had theological seminaries, colleges, convents, academies, schools, and a free people and press.
MOST REVEREND LEONARD NEALE,
Second Archbishop, 1815-1817.
Arshbishop Neale, like Archbishop Carroll, was a native of Maryland. More retiring, austere and simple in character, Archbishop Neale had been president of Georgetown College before his consecration. Each morning he arose at 4 o'clock, and, after an hour's meditation, said Mass, And it "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." the same is true of the best of bishops, for immediately after taking up the burden of the See of Baltimore he had to settle a parish schism in Norfolk, the pewholders refusing to allow the Church to be governed by the Church authorities. Archbishop Neale declared that "the pews belong to the Church, not the Church to the pews."
These troubles were, however, offset and the good Archbishop consoled by the piety and good works of the Sisters of the Visitation Convent at Georgetown, in whom the Archbishop showed special interest. Another real comfort, again a school, was the establishment of a Catholic free school in Baltimore. And a further joy was the ordination of four priests by His Grace.
Archbishop Neale died at the age of 71 on June 18th, 1817. and is buried in the crypt of Georgetown Convent.
MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP MARECHAL. Third Archbishop of Baltimore, 1817-1828.
Archbishop Marechal, though a Frenchman, who came to the See of Baltimore from St. Mary's Seminary, on Paca Street, won great esteem by his powers of mind and heart, perfected by education and grace. His love for study had been proved, for in 1812 be had refused the mitre of Philadelphia. preferring his position of professor of theology in St. Mary's Seminary.
His first great act as Archbishop was to publish Archbishop Carroll's regulations about mixed marriages. Catholics attending Protestant services and cemeteries. Next he began the visitation of his diocese, confirming 2,500 persons, many of whom were converts. The Catholics in Baltimore had increased from 800 in 1792 to 10,000 in 1817.
To complete the Cathedral of Baltimore, Archbishop Marechal strained every nerve, raising means not only at home, but also abroad, whence many of the handsome appointments came as gifts from persons high in Church and State. The high altar of the Cathedral itself is a present from his for- mer scholars in Lyons, France. In 1821 Mass was said for the first time in the magnificent and now venerable Cathedral.
A SKETCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARYLAND-Continued.
The Church militant in Maryland this same year lost a saintly daughter Mother Seton, who died at the Convent in Emmitsburg. And a year before had been laid to rest one who had served his God and country well-Hon. Thomas Sim Lee, twice Governor of Maryland. In 1823 occurred the remark- able cure of Mrs. Anne Mattingly, sister of the Mayor of Washington, who had a disease of the breast which had been pronounced incurable and she was given up by her physicians. Under the guidance of Prince Hohenlohe, another priest of Washington, and Father Dubuisson, she made a novena. and on the ninth day the priests said Mass for her; and, after receiving the Holy Communion, March 10th, she was instantly cured.
Worn by labors and cares, Archbishop Marechal failed fast, and. on December 12th, he received Holy Viaticum, and died January 29th, 1828. His body was followed to the grave by Charles Carroll as chief mourner. interment being made in the Cathedral crypt.
The report of Archbishop Marechal showed that the diocese of Balti- more then had 62 priests, of whom 25 were Americans, 12 Irish, 11 French. 5 Belgians, 2 Germans. 2 Italians. 1 English, 1 Pole, 1 Mexican and 1 Bavarian.
MOST REVEREND JAMES WHITFIELD.
Fourth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1829-1834.
Though a Sulpician like Archbishop Marechal, his one-time professor in Lyons, and predecessor in the See of Baltimore, yet Archbishop Whitfield was not French, but English, having been born in Liverpool, 1770. How- ever, for ten years before being consecrated, the Archbishop had been a priest at the Cathedral in Baltimore.
A census of that date shows that Maryland in 1829 had 70.000 Catholics out of a population of 447.000. Baltimore had five Churches-the Cathedral, St. Peter's, St. Patrick's, St. John's and St. Mary's Seminary Chapel. Wash- ington had three Churches.
The first Provincial Council of Baltimore was held this year. 1829, attended by Bishops Flaget, of Bardstown, Ky .; Rosati, of St. Louis, Mo .; Benedict Fenwick, of Boston; Dominic Fenwick, of Cincinnati; England, of Charleston, and Matthews, Vicar-Apostolic of Philadelphia. Bishops Du Bois, of New York, and Portier, of Mobile, were absent, being in Europe. Of the thirty-eight decrees of the Council:
1. Required priest to accept any sustaining mission until recalled by their bishop.
2. Required priest to stay in the diocese they belonged to.
3. Urged bishops not to accept priests from another diocese without proper recommendations from their bishops.
9. Charged bishops to warn their flocks against corrupt translations of the Bible, and to urge the use of the Douay Bible.
10. Set down the qualifications of sponsors in Baptism and Confir- mation.
12. Regarded the giving of profane names in Baptism and urged those of Saints to be adopted.
16. Direct Baptism, where possible, to be given in Church and not in private houses.
20. Enjoined the use of Latin in the administration of the Sacraments.
23. Forbade Mass in private houses.
39
A SKETCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARYLAND-Continued.
24. Was on the decency of Churches.
25. Urges priests to prepare the faithful for the proper reception of matrimony.
27. Was on proper dress for clergymen.
28. Warned them against games and sports that would give scandal.
29. Requires every priest having care of souls to preach to his flock on Sundays and Holy days.
33. Forbids the use of unlawful prayer books and catechisms, and provided for a catechism modeled on that of Cardinal Bellarmine.
34. Urged, where possible, the erection of Catholic schools to save children, especially those of the poor, from perversion.
35. Regarded the preparation of suitable school books.
36. Urged the establishment of a society for the diffusion of Catholic books.
This year, 1831, Rev. Charles Constantine Pise, a Baltimore priest. wrote a "History of the Catholic Church," the most extended yet written in America. It was published in Baltimore, where, too, in 1831, Fielding Lucas issued a quarto Bible and a New Testament.
St. Charles College was started on a part of Doughoregan Manor, given by Charles Carroll. himself donating $6,500 and laying the corner-stone, and Archbishop Whitfield blessing it.
This year, also, Bishop Whitfield held a diocesan synod. attended by thirty-five of his priests.
When the first siege of the Asiatic cholera appeared in Maryland, while many fled, the Archbishop gave his house for a hospital, and the priests and Sisters of Charity multiplied their services to attend and nurse the stricken. Fathers Michael Wheeler and William O'Brien, two Sisters of Charity and one Oblate sister dying from the plague.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last living man who had signed the Declaration of Independence, died November, 1832.
A Second Provincial Council was held in Baltimore. 1833. the Arch- bishop of Baltimore as Coadjutor, Bishops David. of Bardstown; England, of Charleston; Rosati, of St. Louis; Fenwick, of Boston; Du Bois, of New York; Portier, of Mobile; Kenrick, of Philadelphia; Rese, of Detroit, and Purcell. of Cincinnati, attending its sessions.
In 1834 St. James' Church. Baltimore, was begun. Rev. Samuel Eccles- ton. a convert and president of St. Mary's College, was the same year appointed coadjutor to Archbishop Whitheld, and, after a brief illness, the Archbishop died in October.
MOST REVEREND SAMUEL ECCLESTON.
Fifth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1834-1851.
Archbishop Eccleston was born in Kent County. Md .. 1801. Going to St. Mary's College when eleven years old, he later became a Catholic, a priest in 1825, and a Sulpician and Archbishop in 1834.
In 1837 a Provincial Conneil met under Archbishop Eccleston. Bishops Rosati. of St. Louis; Fenwick, of Boston; Kenrick. of Philadelphia; Purcell. of Cincinnati: Chabrat, of Bardstown; Clancy, of Charleston; Brute, of Vin- eennes, and Blanc, of New Orleans, being present. The decrees regarded Ordinations, the support of aged and infirm priests, the proper employment

of money, etc., given for pious purposes. the bringing of lawsuits against clergy and religious, the collection of money by priests from other parishes without authority, and ecclesiastical music. The use of the Ceremonial of the previous Council and of the Roman Ritual was enjoined.
Archbishop Eccleston estimated the Catholics in Maryland at 70,000, and in District of Columbia at 10,000. They had 53 churches.
This year, 1837. the Sisters of the Visitation started a convent in Bal- timore, and the next year the corner-stone of St. Matthew's Church in Wash- ington was laid. This year, too, the first seed of the Catholic Tract Society of Baltimore was sown, its object being to remove prejudice and spread broadcast true Catholic teaching. This was felt necessary, as bigotry had brought on an attack on the Carmelite Convent in Baltimore, and Rev. Mr. Breckenridge had falsely accused Mr. McGuire, keeper of the Almshouse, of misdemeanors.
In 1840 the Fourth Provincial Council met in Baltimore; mixed mar- riages, missing Mass and drinking on Sunday were decried. Total abstinence societies and Catholic schools were encouraged, and secret societies, whose members were burdened by oath, were condemned.
In 1841 St. Vincent's Church in Baltimore was dedicated, and St. John's, now St. Alphonsus' was begun in 1842, under the Redemptorists, there being then 5,000 German Catholics in Baltimore. The day before the corner- stone of Calvert Hall, an academy for young men. was laid on Saratoga Street. west of Charles. This year, Catholics, followed by many others trom all parts of Maryland, made a pilgrimage to the site of the landing of their pil- grim forefathers in St. Mary's County, where Archbishop Eccleston said Mass, Bishop Fenwick preached and Mr. William G. Read delivered an appropriate historical discourse.
In 1843 the Fifth Provincial Council met in Baltimore under Archbishop Eccleston, the bishops of Boston, Mobile, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Dubuque, New York, Nashville, Vincennes, Natchez, Richmond. Louisville, St. Louis and Detroit, and the Administrator of Charleston being present. The decrees forbade the use of any Church for discourses by lay- men; declared any one divorced by state law, who remarried, excommunicated "ipso facto;" forbade the rash incurring of debts for churches; commended the recently established Tract Societies, the erection and use of confessionals and the prompt and continued attendance on the sick to afford them all the consolation of religion. Maryland then had a population of 475,000, and the diocese of Baltimore embraced 80,000 faithful, having 58 churches, 39 priests on the mission, 31 engaged in education or special work, 2 theological seminaries and their preparatory schools, 2 scholasticates. 3 colleges, 2 acad- emies for boys, 6 for young ladies, 5 orphan asylums. 1 hospital. 1 house for the insane, and last, but not least, 10 free schools. The gain in Catholic population was mainly by natural increase.
Churches at Pikesville, Georgetown, Rock Creek, Elkton, Westminster, Govans, Cumberland, Laurel and other places were erected or improved about this time.
The Sixth Provincial Council met in Baltimore, 1846. and petitionel the Pope to make "Mary Immaculate" the Patroness of the United States.
The Sisters of Charity now carried on work in Baltimore, Wilmington. Delaware, Albany, Troy, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Natchez, Donaldsonville, Nor- folk. Boston and St. Louis.
Calvert Hall was opened by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1846. The school. Sisters of Notre Dame. also began work in the diocese this year.

A SKETCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARYLAND-Continued.
An interesting and comforting incident occurred this same year, when Rev. John Hickey, a Baltimore priest, was summoned to court to testify in regard to stolen property which had been returned to him by a patient. The Court decided that under the Maryland Bill of Rights no further inquiry could be pressed upon Mr. Hickey in such a case.
In 1849 Archbishop Eccleston revived the custom of sending "Peter's Pence" to Rome, and sent an invitation to the persecuted Pope to come to America and receive the homages of the faithful here. The Seventh Pro- vincial Council met in Baltimore, 1849, and was attended by the Archbishops of Baltimore and St. Louis, the Bishops of Mobile, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Dubuque, New York, Nashville, Natchez, Richmond, Detroit. Galveston, Pittsburg, Albany, Hartford, Charleston, Milwaukee, Boston. ('leveland, Buffalo, Louisville, Vincennes and Chicago.
The decrees petitioned the Pope to define the commonly believed doc- trine of the Immaculate Conception, i. e., that Mary was conceived in her mother's womb, and born free from original sin. Priests were forbidden to marry those who had been, or intended to be, married by a Protestant minister.
Archbishop Eccleston's health, never robust. declined, and he died April 22d, 1851. His body lies in the crypt of the Cathedral in Baltimore.
MOST REVEREND FRANCIS PATRICK KENRICK. Sixth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1851-1863.
Vast biblical and theological learning, skill in controversy and advocacy of the Primacy of the Pope were characteristics of the newly appointed Arch- bishop of Baltimore, who had before been Bishop of Philadelphia.
The First Plenary Council of Baltimore was held under Archbishop Ken- rick, 1852, five Archbishops and twenty-four Bishops surrounding him.
The decrees proclaimed the Primacy and Plenary Power of the Pope; urged a censor of books in each diocese, the establishment of a Catholic school at every church, the spread of the Association for the Propagation of the Faith, and the Association of Prayers for the conversion of our fellow-coun- trymen.
St. Ignatius' Church was begun in 1853, and Loyola College in 1855.
The Eighth Provincial Council met at Baltimore, 1855, attended by Bishops Whelan, of Wheeling; O'Connor, of Pittsburg; McGill, of Richmond; Nenmann, of Philadelphia; Young, of Erie; Very Rev. Barry, of Savannah, and Very Rev. Lynch, of Charleston. They warmly urged the opening of a college in Rome for young Americans studying for Holy Orders.
The Archbishop next made a visitation of the diocese, a laborions task. as the Catholics in Baltimore alone, in 1856, numbered 80,000, and had 13 churches.
In the Ninth Provincial Council a translation of the Bible was dis- cussed. The Holy See granted the See of Baltimore precedence in all Coun- cils or meetings of any kind held by Archbishops and Bishops of the United States.
In 1859 new churches arose at Locust Point, Hagerstown, and St. Aloy- sins in Washington and St. Paul's in Baltimore were begun. The Civil War was now preparing, though Catholics were neither the originators nor pro- longers of it, but they were Christian and patriotic. Archbishop Kenrick ordered the "prayer for peace" to be said in all Masses, and the clergy and sisters hastened to give their services to the sick and wounded soldiers in both camps. Thirty-four Sisters of Charity left Baltimore together on the 20th of July, 1862, to nurse the sick in Gen. MeClellan's army, and sixty were sent from Baltimore to attend the hospitals around Washington.

Archbishop Kendrick retired on July 7th in apparent good health, having said, apropos of the war. "I hope we shall soon have peace," and was found, next morning, dead in his bed.
Thoroughly versed in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, he spoke French, Italian, Span- ish and German fluently, and gave the Church in the United States a new Eng- lish version of the Bible, and an excellent Dogmatic and Moral Theology.
Father Coskery became administrator of the Archdiocese.
MOST REVEREND MARTIN JOHN SPALDING. Seventh Archbishop of Baltimore, 1864-1872.
Archbishop Spalding, who had been Bishop of Louisville, had written his "Miscellanea" and "History of the Reformation," came of an old Mary- land family, and understood our situation well, and, therefore, was a happy and welcome appointment. After making his episcopal visitation and issu- ing his pastoral, in 1866, he established St. Mary's Industrial School, on land given by Mrs. McTavish, and, in a house given by the same lady, the House of Good Shepherd for fallen women.
The Second Plenary Council of Baltimore met in the Cathedral, October 7th, 1866, and was attended by Archbishops Spalding of Baltimore as Dele- gate Apostolic; Blanchet of Oregon, Kendrick of St. Louis, Purcell of Cincinnati, Allemanny of San Francisco, Odin of New Orleans, McCloskey of New York, and Bishops Whelan of Wheeling, Lefevre of Detroit, Henni of Milwaukee, Blanchet of Nesqually, Rappe of Cleveland. Timon of Buffalo, Demers of Vancouver, Saint Palais of Vincennes, McGill of Richmond, Lamy of Santa Fe, Laughlin of Brooklyn, Bayley of Newark, de Goesbriand of Burlington, Carroll of Covington, Amat of Monterey, Martin of Natchitoches. Bacon of Portland, Juncker of Alton, Duggan of Chicago, Elder of Natchez, Luers of Fort Wayne, Lynch of Charleston, McFarland of Hartford, Grace of St. Paul, Quinlan of Mobile, Wood of Philadelphia, Domenec of Pittsburg, Verot of Savannah, Dubuis of Galveston, Lavalle of Louisville, Conroy of Albany, Feehan of Nashville, Williams of Boston, Hennessy of Dubuque, and Vicars-Apostolic O'Gorman of Nebraska, O'Connell of Marysville, and Rosecrans, Auxiliary of Cincinnati; Very Rev, Coady, Administrator of Erie. and Rev. Coosmans, Procurator of Bishop Miege.
The decrees passed treated of Faith, Errors, the Hierarchy and Govern- ment of the Church, Ecclesiastical Persons and Property, the Sacraments, Worship, Discipline, Religious Communities. Education of Youth, Salvation of Souls, Books and Papers, Secret Societies and the Election of New Sees.
The subject of establishing a Catholic University in the United States was discussed. The closing session was attended by the President of the United States, in the Cathedral of Baltimore.
In 1868 Archbishop Spalding consecrated Right Rev. James Gibbons, who had been an assistant priest at the Cathedral. Next he visited various parts of his diocese. In June, 1869, he ordained at one time 24 priests, and the same year established in Baltimore the Little Sisters of the Poor. In five years in the See of Baltimore he had confirmed 22,200 persons. 2.750 or 1212 per cent. being converts. In October he left for the Vatican Council in Rome. The "Baltimore," on which he sailed from Baltimore, was decorated with flowers, and 2,000 faithful went down the harbor with him, while cannon boomed from Fort McHenry. Before he returned from the Council, which defined the Infallibility of the Pope, he heard hostile cannon boom when Rome was taken, and the Pope made a prisoner in the Vatican, where he has ever since lived. Archbishop Spalding on his return was received in Baltimore by 50,000 people, and by nearly as many in Washington.

A SKETCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MARYLAND Continued.
Five times in his life His Grace had been brought by sickness to the brink of the grave. After six weeks without sleep, choking to death, having received the last Sacraments from Father Coskery and having had. it was said, a vision of Our Lady and her Divine Son. he sent for "his good and devoted priests." as he loved to call them, and died February 7th, and was buried in the crypt of the Cathedral.
MOST REVEREND JAMES ROOSEVELT BAYLEY. Eighth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1872-1877.
Archbishop Bayley, the successor of Archbishop Spalding, had been an Episcopal minister, and was converted. he claimed, by the prayers of poor Catholics, to whom he had at times given alms. He was the Catholic Bishop of Newark when he was transferred to Baltimore, in 1872. He established St. Catherine's Normal School and St. James' Home for Boys, both in Baltimore. His literary work included a "Life of Bishop Brute." and a "History of the Catholic Church on Manhattan Island."
Though a very handsome man, yet he was most humble, as is instanced by one of his soliloquies, said to have been overheard by a priest: "Arch- bishop Bayley !- Bishop Bayley! Father Bayley !- I prefer Father Bayley."
The paying off of the debt and the consecration of the Cathedral by him in 1876 was the goal he had long struggled to accomplish.
He died in Newark. October 3rd, 1877. and his body was buried in Emmitsburg by the side of his saintly aunt, Mother Seton, foundress of the Sisters of Charity in America.
MOST REVEREND JAMES GIBBONS.
Ninth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1877-1886.
His Eminence. James Cardinal Gibbons, 1886-1909.
In this section propriety forbids all but bald statements of statistics. Of the nine Archbishops of Baltimore, three have been foreign born. two from other States than Maryland, four only being Marylanders. Marechal was by birth a Frenchman, Whitfield an Englishman. Kenrick an Irishman. Spalding a Kentuckian, Bayley a New Yorker, Carroll, Neale and Eccleston. Marylanders, and Gibbons, the fourth Marylander and the first Baltimorean.
Born July 23rd. IN34, and baptized in the Cathedral, while still young. James Gibbons was taken to Ireland, where he made his classical studies at a private school. Returning to America, he studied at St. Charles College and St. Mary's Seminary, and was ordained 1861.
He served St. Patrick's and St. Bridget's Churches, and, when scarcely seven years a priest, in 1868, he was consecrated Bishop, with North Carolina as his field. After four years of labor there he was made Bishop of Rich- mond in 1872. and five years later, in 1877, he became Archbishop of Baltimore.
Under him, the Third Plenary Council met in Baltimore, in 1884, and was attended by Archbishops Gibbons of Baltimore, Kendrick of St. Louis. Allemany of San Francisco, Lamy of Santa Fe. Williams of Boston, Seghers of Oregon. Heiss of Milwaukee. Feehan of Chicago, Elder of Cincinnati.
