PAGE 44 44An Army on Its Knees to Keep An Army on Its Feet HE hell 'resounds through the building at Catholic High. It is noon, and from every classroom a volume of prayer asccnds to the Great Throne on High, and is wafted back swiftly like a shot-in-the-arm to a soldier on guard in Iceland, to a marine on watch in the Pacific, to a sailor alert for submarines. Unconsciously the soldier stands a little straighter, looks a trifle more determined, as he seems to hear an encouraging whisper in his ears, Keep your chin up! Victory is not far off! This slight reinforcement may mean more to the fighting man than anyone will ever know. It may give him the courage he needs to keep on trying. The practice, begun this year at Catholic High, of saying the Angelus every day for our men in the service has, without doubt, the same effect that a volley of death-dealing lead would have on the enemy, because it gives the spirit to fire that volley with energy. Moreover, the Angelus gains for us a more powerful ally than any on earth: Mary, the Mother of God. Through Mary's intercession, therefore, and through the gallant men who every- where uphold our Hag, these prayers are offered daily in ardent supplication for a speedy victory and an everlasting peace.
