It becomes 'the order of the day' you graduate and of every day of your lives. The world has too long lived on the assumption that religion is a private affair. Now it has learned that by regarding it as such, irreligion has pre-enpted the entire social order, It will no longer do for individual Seniors to think about the necessity of personal piety alone or the lack of it, for your lives are forever enmeshed in all the problems of civilization. There is not one kind of spirituality for you and another for society, there is only one for both, for the power that builds your soul is the power that builds the world. The kingdom of God, it is true, is not of this world, but as long as time endures is for your world. You therefore have not only a vo- cation to sanctify and save your souls, but also to expand and diffuse that sanctification in society. Your world is not beyond redemption, for it is only wounded, not lost. Yours is not a black, dark, dreadful, and hateful world bound for the precipice of destruction, it is a world of infinite possibility. Near to God, - it certainly is not a lost world! Devoted to neighbor, - it can still be saved - and by you! Congratulations, Seniors, and may God bless each one of you! Reverend Paul J. Bernier
