Brofher Addresses www 54,9 - ' A Class MEN OF tIH.XNllN.XlJli, 'l'he declaration ol' the early martyrs, l am a Christian, has its parallel in this, your lat- est accomplishmeut. You are now able to boast, I am a graduate ol' Chaminade. For the last lour years you have striven toward a goal that will re-echo in eternity. And if you wish true success. as it is measured by God, be what your boast implies-a trlle Christian, a lollower ol' Christ. Already in your young lives you have seen those who draw their comfort and joy from the world, those who judge the attainment of an ambition by the sporadic offerings of an unsettled world. You are able to recognize the baffled attempts of those who, insisting on their ow11 rights, stubbornly resist tlhrist and His teaching. You have received an education which enlightened your intellect, strengthened your will and inspired your heart to follow Christ through Mary. Go out into the world but be 1101 ol' it. Show the world Where it is wrong, what it means to be a real man ol' character. and how to solve the stupendous problems maliciously and carelessly brought about by evil-minded men and those who have cast aside their God. Show the world that to be and live as a Christian is the real success worth striving lor. ll' Clhaminztde prepared you for this role in life, you have a treasure and a weapon that no tyrant has yet been able to crush. Even today men of God prove by laying down their lives that Clll'lSllLlIllly is unconquerable. They prove more - Christianity is the salvation oli the world. But il' tlhaminade prepared you for an earthly-minded Christianity that you see all around you, how wasted your ellorts and ours have been! XVe are living in a divided world, a world which can only be united by the blood ol' Christ. You have been taught that Baptism and Faith bridge our lives with God and that we must take our strength from the Cross. And standing beneath the Cross is our Blessed Mother, our life. our sweetness and our hope. lie Men of Clhaminade forever. Co out to make success for yourselves but not alone.
