PAGE 22 CLOSED. THE ALVERNIAN most 'Reverend william ID. O Brien, iD.iD. N APRIL 25, 1934, when Cardinal Mundelein consecrated a second Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago in the person of the Most Reverend William D. O'Brien, D.D., in the Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago became the only see, other than Paris, with a Cardinal Archbishop and two auxiliary bishops administering its affairs. In addition to being Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, Bishop O'Brien is President of the Catholic Church Extension Society and Editor of the Extension Magazine. The elevation of Bishop O'Brien to the episcopacy is considered the greatest Consecration in the history of the Catholic Church in North America. This is a magnificent tribute of the Holy Father and the American Hierarchy to the Cardinal of the Home Missions, who after twenty-five years of unceasing and unprecedented labor for the honor and glory of God had again done the unexpected and chosen a second Auxiliary. No doubt, this was also a tribute to the work of The Catholic Extension Society for the past twenty-nine yearsg but during nearly seventeen of these years His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein, has been Chancellor of The Extension and the guiding star of its destinies.

UCCESS and progress find their keynote in the proper training and developing of mind and body, in fostering culture, in inspiring noble principles, and in encourag- ing the example of truly great men. Through the noble efforts of Most Reverend Bernard J. sheil in social, civic, and educational welfare, this impetus for progress in soul, mind, and body has become the heritage of every Catholic boy and girl in Chicago. As Field Director of the Legion of Decency Campaign, Bishop Sheil invited the Catholic Youth Organization and Cisca, the confederacy of scholastic religious organi- zations, to participate in the Legion of Decency Parade. He, together with the Reverend Joseph Reiner, SJ., whom an All-loving Providence called to Eternity after his last public appearance with his beloved Youth, marched at the head of 70,000 young men and women, boys and girls, thus manifesting his interest in a campaign which is elevating the moral standards of cinema productions. In his career of zealous and fruitful service for the Catholic Youth of Chicago, the Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil is achieving a work for God's honor and glory which will perpetuate his name in the history of Catholic and Social Action in the United States. 'YW: W 7! 1 4 'rx-rm Anvnnmnn if FFF? . , . .. .
