TI-IE OWL 85 who do his evil work are iilled with ecstasy at the 'beauty of a godless education. When we put our hand to such a work as education, we are prone to think that we cannot do better than put it under the protection of religion and God-that unless we do so we cannot do even well. We know that the young soul that is to be educated for social purposes has not only the social end, but also an individual end that is eternal. Hence, it would be ill for a youth, even though he were fashioned into a perfectly educated gentleman, to lose-nay, even to risk his salvation in the process of his education g we know, that if it were needs a question of choice between intellectual culture and eternal salvation, the only wise thing to do would be to choose the latter. Education, religion and God are not incompatible, but they are mutually helpful, and even humanly speaking, the man is best educated who has been educated most religiously, most god-like. The greatest blessing that has come to us from the cen- turies that passed is the Holy Faith of our Fathers-the Faith that comes to us, made even dearer by the tears and blood that its transmission cost. The highest duty that we can owe to the centuries that are to come is to hand on to them that sacred deposit unimpaired. Now, to fulfill that duty there is but one way: to do our part in procuring for ourselves an education for the little ones amongst us, who, in a few short years shall take our vacant places, and be the men and women of the future. To you, dear graduates, I commend this work, knowing, as I know, that the interests of our Holy Faith are very dear to your hearts, knowing that there is not, nor can be, any of these interests more important in itself or in its consequences than the interest of education and religion. And I commend this sacred cause of religious education, and I ask you to join me in commending it to the protection of that Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who is the infinite source of all knowledge-human and divine-that he may bless this work in this our land, and that we may obtain in heaven the reward of those of whom it has been written : They who instruct many unto justice, shall shine as stars for all eternity.
