Freshman The Good Counsel Unit ofthe Catholic Students Mission League has this year shown an increased interest in missions at home and in fields afar. This was especially evident in the enthusiasm dis' played by the students who so generously supported the benefits held during the scholastic year. A glance at the work carried on in the various parish schoolsg the daily recitation of the mission prayerg the earnest participation in public and private devotions-all indicate that the more serious aspect of the mission work was in no way neglected. A large group of students devoted their time and energy each week to the teaching of catechism classes and to the instruction of first communicants. In the field of Medical Mission, the students also took an active part. The second prize in the poster contest which was open to all Catholic Colleges in the country was won by Muriel Clark, '35. Funds were raised for the purchase of medicines and surgical instruments. The annual Pontifical Mass, presided over by His Eminence Patrick Cardinal Hayes and attended by many members of the clergy and religious orders and more than eight hundred students of the Catholic Colleges throughout the Archdiocese of New York, was celebrated on December 3rd in the Church of the Annunciation in New York City. The rermon on that occasion was preached by the Reverend Doctor Fulton Sheen who outlined the work of the mission held and pointed out the tremendous amount still to be accomplished. The harvest indeed is ripe, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He send laborers into the vineyard. -ST. LUKE, X 6 5eiE6 5 B6 az s , as JNNEQKBSEEJE 5 103
