As our parents have been given to us in the material world as protectors, so in the spiritual order of affairs likewise we have guides. For us, these are the Christian Brothers. And because throughout the world today these Christian Brothers are commemorating the tercentenary of ,their founder's birth, we seniors feel that we can pay no higher tribute to our spiritual fathers than to use the life of St. john Baptist de la Salle as the theme of this Guidon. Born of noble parentage at Rheims, France, on April 30, 1651, John Baptist de la Salle was baptized on the same day in the Church of St. Hilary. He was the oldest child in a wealthy family of ten, of whom three died in infancy. This child was destined for great things by the Providence of God.
