than one thousand altars. He was a most devoted
protector of the religious orders, and the confidence
placed in him by th(^ Government, was singularly
beneficial to the spread of Catholic life. On several
occasions during rehgious or national celebrations he
spoke of William II in very warm terms, which
caused much comment. Greatly attached to the in-
terests of workingmen, at the Congress of Liege in
1890 he called for the intervention of the State in
matters of labour legislation. Addres-sing himself to
the workingmen, he declared "xVspiration towards
progress, towards the betterment and preservation
of eartlily well-being is deeply enrooted in human
nature and does not contradict the Cliristian moral
laws." On 13 Nov., 1905, he advised the Catholic
miners assembled in Congress at Essen to co-operate
with non-Catholic workmen in the discussion of com-
mon economic questions. He was likewise the de-
fender with the Holy vSee of Christian interdenomina-
tional syndicates, whose headquarters were at
Miinchen-Gladbach, and he exerted himself to coun-
terbalance the influences brought to bear in behalf of
purely sectarian syndicates by the Catholics of Ber-
lin, the Bishop of Trier, and the Cardinal-Bishop of
Breslau.

Foley, Henry, b. at Astley in Worcestershire, England, 9 Aug., 1811; d. at Manresa House, Roe- hampton, 19 Nov., 1891. His father was the Prot-
estant curate in charge at Astley. After his early
education at home and at a private school at Wood-
chester, Henry was articled to a firm of solicitors in
Worcester, and, in course of time, practised as a so-
licitor, at first in partnership with another, then by
himself. Under the influence of the O.xford ]\Iove-
ment he was led to embrace the Cathohc Faith in
1S40, and five years later, on the death of his wife
Anne, daughter of John Vezard of Gloucestershire, he
sought admission as a lay brother into the Society of
Jesus. Urged to enter as a scholastic and to prepare
for the priesthood, he said it was Our Lady's wish
tliat he should be a lay brother. For thirty years he
occupied the post of lay brother sociiis to the English
provincial, during which time he produced his gi-
gantic work, "The Records of the English Province of
the Society of Jesus" (8 octavo volumes), a compila-
tion of immense labour and original research and an
invaluable store of historical detail put together
with a persevering assiduity rarely found even in the
most painstaking of historians. Brother Foley de-
serves to share with Father Henry More the title of
historian of the Society. He also wrote "Jesuits in
Conflict", a work describing the sufferings of some of
the English Jesuit confessors of the Faitli. As a re-
ligious, Brother Foley was a model of every virtue.
His bodily austeritiesjwere remarkable, whOe his spirit
of prayer led him at all free moments to the chapel.

Gloria, Laus et Honor, a hymn composed by St. Thcodulph of Orleans in 810, in Latin elegiacs, of which the Roman Missal takes the first six for the hymn following the procession on Palm Sunday (the use to which the hymn was always dedicated). The first couplet,
Gloria, laus et honor tibi sit Rex Christe, Redemptor, Cui puerUe decus prompsit hosanna pium, is sung by chanters inside of the church (the door having been closed), and is repeated by the proces- sional chorus outside of the church. The chanters then sing the second couplet, the chorus responding with the refrain of the first couplet, and so on for the remaining couplets until the subdcacon strikes the door with (he staff of the cross, whereupon the door is opened, the hymn ceases, and the procession enters the church. The words of the refrain ("puerile decus") suggested the assignment of the hymn in the Middle Ages to boy chanters (thus at Salisbury, York, Hereford, Rouen, etc.). The hymn is foundra on Psalm xxiii (Vulgate), 7-10; Psalm cxvii, 26; Matt, xxi, 1-16; Luke xix, 37-38.
