I wish to thank the good Sis? ters of Mercy in charge of this acad? emy for the h"n<>r conferred in th^ir invitation to preside at th<^se exer? cises; secondly, to congratulate the < Sisters and their talented pupils '?ri tr?- successful and delightful render? ing of the programme and rn thank them in my own behalf and in the name of the audience for the pleasure and I may add, edification, impart' 1 by this happy evening Tt is indeed a hallowed pleasure for me to attend these exercises in an in- . stitution over which one presides to . whom I am linked by sacred mini trations and hallowed memories-tl memory of a young girl kneeling I the deathbed of a devoted and e: emplary father; the memory of young maiden bowed down befoi God's altar upon which she ha placed as a votive offering her pul young heart, kneeling there in tl Convent chapel, lily-like in the ve: ture of body and soul, a beautifi bride of Christ. And here, too. is one whose nam is held in benediction by priest an people of my parish, especially by th boys whom she taught and who, neal ing manhood now. speak of her da by day with gratitude and affection. Perhaps my first utterance thi evening should have been to the for t?nate young ladies of the graduatin c1 ass-fortunate in receiving th crowning testimonials and rewards o faithful application and exemplar deportment; doubly fortunate in re ceiving these from this favored insti ration, this sanctuary of virtue an k arning. But I feel that they would have m first make grateful acknowledgemen to those whose loving care has mad this the graduates' other home-; happy and hallowed home through al their studious years. If I have seemed to err I would fail make amends by taking for my tex this evening their felicitious clas motto: Astra Castra, Xumen lumen the Stars Our Camp, the Diety Ou: Light. How keenly your motto quicken: the happy memories of college day? s nd conjures up "The glory that wa; Gxeece and the grandeur that wa; Rome." Its adoption to express your Chris? tian aspirations suggests another lin( of thought, namely the transforma? tion of Pagan Basilicas to" Christiar churches, the conversion of Pagar souls into temples of the Holy Ghost and the reduction of the language you have chosen to the Liturgy ano Ritual of the Church of Christ. Is not such dedication a note of the apostolicity of that church whose vis? ible head is the Roman Pontiff? Even as the church changed the Pagan Basilica into the Christian temple permit me to translate your motto into the Christian sentiment: "Heaven is our home; God is our glory." Tour classic motto taken from a Pagan world is evidence of a univer? sal truth. As that world went dark? ling down the ages glimmerings from Eden pierced the gloom and back of all polytheism,, pantheism and idolatry was belief in the Xumen, the Diety. Plato beautifully says: "We are plants not of earth, but of Heaven; and from the same source whence the soul first arose a divine nature raising aloft our head and root, directs our whole bodily frame." But the "lumen" of the " Pagan world was faint and flickering. Rea? son pointed to the Astra and the Cas? tra there, but Revelation pointed be? yond to the Trinity. Plato, Socrates. Aristotle spoke wisely, but Christ spoke divinely. They dispelled some of the shadows that deepened the darkness of men's minds, but He vas the Light of the World, the re? flection and conception of the eternal Father's contemplation of His own infinite perfections through all the years of eternity, the second Person of the most Holy Trinity, the God? man Jesus Christ, born and crucified for our redemption; the Light ?f Light not only illuminating, but vivi? fying the souls of men; the Kindly Light leading us through life O'er moor and fen. O'er crag and torrent till The night is gone. Even through the valley of the j shadow out over the stars and back to our home in Heaven, whence j come this deathless soul, this breath divine, and where it reposed a belov? ed thought in the divine mind from j al! eternity. He is the Light that en- j lighteneth every man that cometh into this world, and in Him are crys? tallized all the pure and high ideals of life and. conduct set before you in this favored acadmey. the alma mater who has clasped mind and heart, to her tender bosom and placed tonight upon each worthy brow the gradu? ates' crown. These ideals centered in Christ have changed the world; have given us a higher and holier civilization than was dreamed of in the Pagan world where vice was legalized and deified. And history demonstrates that where in the modern world these U?^als are relinquished the trend is to? ward Paganism and degradation. There is forgetfulness, there is re? linquishment of these ideals in the world today. Thor*- is a tendency, sadly apparent, in the literature of our t i : 11 * * to eliminate the supernatu? ral. Remember that it was the teaching of christ and veneration of His blessed mother, Mary, that raised iii ?tarred woman from her menial and servile condition Under Paganism to j be the companion and helpmate of j man and, panoplied ii?-:- with respect and reverence. Will you continue to love your alma mat^r and her teaching? She has. as y?>ur motto suggests; led you up the flowery slopes of Parnassus to its sun- 1 li? summit; she has introduced you to the graces and the muses of the old Greek and Roman days and to their devotees of a later time. But she has Jed you beyond Parnassus to Calvary where adoration supplanted admira? tion; siie has evoked your love for the Christian graces. Faith, Hope and Charity, and adorned your young souls with veneration for her, the Lily of Israel, whose spotless soul en? shrined all womanly virtue. Her. the Nazareth maid "Who gave to Heaven a Queen, a man a God. Tc God a mother." I could no* frame a kindlier wish for you tonight, young ladies of the graduating class, than this, that you may be. through all your years, loyal and loving to your alma mater, and so continue, each to be your class flower, the Lily of the Valley, until you are transplanted some day on the "everlanting hills abo^e the stars." there in the light of the Be? atific vision to flower in bloom and beauty unfading and eternal, in the garden of God.
