'60., and the Very Rev. Msgr. C . J. Quille , '98 ., h a ve b een raised from the dignity ot Private Chamberlain to that of Domestic Prelate . Monsignor Sheil is the chance llor ot the Chica'go Archdiocese and it was upon his s h oulders the the financial part of the Eucharistic Congress rested. B esides this it was Monsignor Shell who had t he tremendous responsibi lity of entertain ing and looking after the care and comfort of th e vast number of visiting foreign prelates . Perhaps th e great Eucharistic Con · g ress would not have been such a marvelo u s success if it were not for the ab le Monsignor Quille. He was the G e n e ra l Secreta r y of the entire affair a nd th e success of tis every mave ment, its ceremonies and its discipline rested e nti r ely with him. Monsignor Quille is a lso the di r ector of Our Lady or M e r cy Mission for the working boys o f t h e city. The various c lubs of St. Rita for t h e working girls demand his care a lso. The energy that these two Monsignol·i put into their work is marve ll ed at by everyone, and we h asten to place upon them our wreath Qf well-merited admiration and congratUlati on. Joyously we rais e our heat:ts on high In g ratitude to God for s uch noble men and the success of its every movem e nt, graces upon them, t hat He will spare them long; the ·world needs such men a s thes e. VVe a ls o wish t o extend our felicitati ons to three other priests who h ave bee n v ested with the robes of Private Ch a mbe rlains to the Ho ly Father. They a r e : Th e R ev .
