As you enter upon your scholastic labors, may I draw your attention to the Labour Day statement of the Canadian Catholic Conference: “Whatever their age, sex or social class, each is a member of that race to which these words of Holy Scripture apply: And the Lord God sent him out of the Para¬ dise of pleasure to till the earth from which he was made” . . . God will not look upon His children upon earth and consider only those operating machines or digging ditches as people ful¬ filling the Divine commission to toil. On the contrary He will bless or reprove the work of the mother in her home, the fanner in his field, the scholar at his desk, and the effort of every other person who is obeying the injunction of the Scripture “Arise, then, and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee.” (I Par., 22,16) Devotedly yours in Christ + L Bishop of London.
