Andyethewasneitheroriginalin hisspeechnorwasheintellectual; buthewastheveryincarnationofintelligence;wisdomandprudencewere hisdailycompanions,and,without anypretenseofbeingamystic.helivedcontinuallyinthepresenceofGod.

Therangeofhisreadinginmodern literaturewaslimited.Helaidno claimtostyleeitherinoratoryorthe writtenword;andyethewasoneof thebest.speakers,inthemodern sense,thatwehaveeverhadinthe UnitedStates,andtheclearnessofhis writtenwordsleftnothingtobedesired.Hehad,too,thegreatadvantageofhavingbeenborninthe South.Freefromforeigninfluences -intheveryheartofAmericanaspirations,prejtidices,exaltationsand derfessts.HeknewtheAmericanand, vathotitaneffort,hecarriedonthe Americantraditionsconceivedby

BishopGibbons,beingtheyoungest, wassilentastohisopinions;theAmericanBishopsfeltthat,whilethey acceptedthedogmathatthePopewas infallibleinmattersoffaithand moralswhenhetaughtthewhole Church,thedefinitionmightbeinopportune.Oneoftheirreasonsforthis wasthatitwouldintensifytheopinionamongenlightenedAmericansof ProtestantancestrythattheCatholic Churchwassubjecttoforeigncontrol. Theyfeltthatitwouldnotconvince theProtestantstobeinformedthat "thedefinitionofthedogmawasmerelyanexpressionofabeliefandtraditionlongheld,andthatitwaswithoutbearinguponcivilgovernment.'
