"REMEMBER THOU TOO ART MORTAL."
The Pope fainted twice before entering St. Peter's on Sunday on the celebration of his jubilee. The occasion was a trying one and we are glad that His Holiness was able to rally so soon, and to go through the services without breaking down. It was well, however, as Leo would probably be the first to admit, that so solemn a reminder of the frailty which he possesses in common with all mortals should be administered to the highly ulaced of all mankind, even in the hour of his greatest glory. The sudden failure of the heart's action, as by the imposition of an invisible hand, was an appropriate substitute for the "Remember thou too art mortal," of the slave in the Roman triumph.
