OPENED BY PAPAL LEGATE A HUGE ASSEMBLAGE BUENOS AIRES, October 10. ■ The thirty-second International Eucharistic Congress was opened to-day by Cardinal Pacelli before the Continent’s greatest assemblage, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world gathering about the 100 ft high cross at Palermo Park. Four other cardinals and hundreds of bishops, priests, diplomats .and Cabinet members participated. A choir of 500 sang as the Papal Legate arrived. A PRAYER FOR PEACE
BUENOS AIRES, October 10. (Received Oct. 11, at 10 p.m.) Before the huge white symbol of Christianity, gleaming in bright spring sunshine, Cardinal Pacelli breathed a prayer for world peace: “The white eucharistic forms of innumerable grains of wheat compenetrated in indissoluble union-are a symbol of what, according to Jesus Christ, men should be. By this, on kneeling in these days before the immaculate Host, from each heart should issue an ardent cry, a universal cry, which in the world’s most diverse tongues will be Joined in pne sole accent to exclaim to Jesus Christ, the King of Peace, to concede true peace to the world.”
