Standing at the threshold of a new life, you look upon a world at war. You realize that our country has need of you. It has been waiting for the day when you would step out of your school of training to join the ranks of those who lend their service. It expects much of you-a self-forgetting spirit and your wholehearted service. You heard the call and with an eager, throbbing heart you pledged yourself to serve. Your motto reveals your spirit. The lamp of service is burning brightly today, enkindled by the desire to do and to help. The thought that it ever could lose its lustre, its warm glow and fire, is too profane and pessimistic as to cloud today's enthusiasm. And yet, common sense would prompt you to provide even today a supply of replenishing fuel, lest the flame grow dim. This inexhaustible fountain of light is CHARITY-love of God and neighbor. It will never fail to supply your lamphwith new brilliance. With charity burning in your hearts, you can be confident that the lamp of service will never dim. For true charity, founded in faith, will give you the correct conception of service, the proper sense of values: God's 'service Hrst and above all other service. True charity will urge you to forget self and sacrifice yourself for your neighbor because he is a brother of Christ, to serve your country and its needs because God wants it so. True love of God will ennoble your service to men, it will ever keep you on the right path and deter you from losing yourself in man-service and self-interest at the expense of others. It will make you love your work and tl.lI'11 it into a blessing for you and for mankind whom you serve. You will not be satisfied with anything less than the best you can give. The flame of service enkindled by charity will not fail to shed its light and warmth and scatter its rays all along your way brightening the way of many an unhappy and suffering pilgrim struggling along on life's weary road. The opportunities will not be wanting. More than ever before do we need servers with high ideals and noble hearts in a world suffering from egoism and self-seeking. Even for you there may come times when the cold gusts of worldly motives and ambition threaten to extinguish the flame you have so jealously nursed and guarded. These dark hours will pass, the lamp of service still shining, provided your de- termination to keep the flame bright is supported by that charity which is stronger than death. With St. Paul you will say, The charity of Christ urges us on g it urges us to persevere in the service of charity after the example of the great Apostle. Blessed are those who are lighting A fire that's forever aglow With the spirit of service most devout- A Fire of Love that shall never go out!
