The address delivered by R^v. P. L.
Duffy was as follows:
First. 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.
