LILIUM CONVALLIUM W, v Our Savioris Mother O humble maiden! Did the wise men see The dow'r of grace and holiness sublime, Wliicli God had destined by His own design, To fill His chosen one eternally? Did thy own parents, high in sanctity, Know that their daughter was to be in time, While yet a virgin, through God's power divine The mother of her God deservedly? Oh, no, for I-Ie chose as His mother, one Who never thought that she was worthy of So great an honor, that God's own dear Son Should leave the majesty of Heav'n above And come to dwell so poor as her own Son, Not in a palace, but a home of love. -ADIZLINE VANDERBECK, 'z6.

8 LILIUM CONVALLIUM spiritual daughters received from His I-Ioliness, Pope Pius XI, the special favor of papal approbation upon the Constitutions of the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary. The aim of the Congregation is to praise God by the daily recitation of the Divine Office and to scatter blessings by teaching the truth. In short, the members should strive to put into practice the motto of the Dominican Order: La1u1are, Bem-zliccre et Praea'icare. A Crown of Roses A crown of roses for our Mother's brow! Is that sweet thought e'er possible? for how Can we, so weak and small, reach up so high To crown our Lady, Queen of heav'nly skies? And could one sweet sufficient rose be found? The rosary is a worthy crown of flow'rsg Each pray'r more fragrant than the rose of hours. In saying it we importune her by A crown of roses. Our teachers love this crowng and we who found That our requests are granted if enclow'd W'ith scent of Mary's own revealed design Of rose to Dominic, this love have imbibed. Their Order daily weaves for our Queen's brow A crown of roses. -ADELINE VANDERBECK, 'z6.
