President Roosevelt Recalls Connection With Mother SetonAmerican Nun Who May Soon be Beatified
President Roosevelt struck an interesting autobiographical note 1n a message to the Catholic University of America on the occasion of its golden jubilee. The President, who holds an honorary degree from the University, recalls his relationship to the Most Rev. James Roosevelt Bayley· egntn Archbishop ef Baltmore. and to Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, whose cause for beatification is being advanced. I had hoped," said President Roosevelt in his message, "that I might, in connection with the jubilee, again visit the institution cl honoured me with its deree and in whose progress I have. therefore, the enthusiastic .e t of an alumnus, Godspeed CU in the attainment of its noblest aims. Perhaps I may be pardoned r mentioning a personal and amilv interest in the Archdiocese f Baltimore. which latterly became the Archdiocese of Baltinore and Washington, within whose bounds the University sated. · "An earlier Archbishop of Baltimore. James Roosevelt Bayley. was my father's first cousin. ·Those of vou who are familiar with the succession in the line of Baltimore prelates know that Archbishop Bayley, a nephew, by the way, of Mother Seton, was the immediate predecessor of the venerable Cardinal Gibbons, whose friendship was very dear to me and whose memory benediction."

Devotion to Mother Seton Gows ; EMMITSBURG, U.S.
Pilgrims to St. Joseph's here increase as devotion to the Servant of God Elizabeth Ann Seton, spreads. On Sundays the avenues are lined with autos and buses from morning to sunset Some large groups are pilgrimages of parishes, sodalities, or as. sociations; but as a rule pilgrims come in small groups or individually. An only child, pronounced by the doctors incurable, is carried to the chapel shrine, and a novena for her cure is begun. A man whose paralysed arm was restored last year returns te give thanks. A sister was told by the doctors that her injured knee would keep on getting worse. She recited the novena of prayer at the shrine and left cured.
