1848 , 16 The Brothers' Boys Congratulate the Brothers Address of JOHN F. BROSNAN at of the Christian Brothers in the United States Metropolitan Opera House, April 19, 1948 Mr. John Brosnan. May it please your Eminence, Mr. Chairman, Your Excellencies and the other dis- tinguished guests of the Christian Brothers, Very Reverend Assistant Superior General and Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen: In 1938, at the Convocation commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Manhattan College, Father Gannon, the speaker of the occasion, began one of his inimitable addresses by telling us that in 1848 four Christian Brothers from France landed in New York to open a school on Canal Street, that the next day one of the news- papers carried a cartoon showing the four Brothers standing at the waterside weeping copious tears while a sailing vessel receded toward a distant France, and that the cartoon bore the caption The Jesuits Lament for Their Native Land. But it was not long before the Christian Brothers made their name and their fame known not only in Little Old New York but throughout the length and the breadth of America. Perhaps this was due to their wholehearted devotion to their one vocation - teaching. Certainly, it owed much to their unselfish labors among the poor. Clearly, it marked the blessing of God upon their extraordinary self-sacrifices. De La Salle, their founder, hailed by the Church as a Saint, and acclaimed by the learned as one of the great educators of all time, laid down for the sons who would bear his name and carry on his work precise rules for the conduct of their lives and their labors. Bearing the imprint of the Divine tire which flamed so steadily in his pure and humble heart, they meet and satisfy today, in modern America, every test just as they did when formulated by him in France in the Seventeenth Century. Following such basic pattern, the education which the Christian Brothers impart rests not on the triangular base of the three R's, but upon the more realistic and sounder four-square foundation of Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic and Religion. This turning to God is the very core of their educational system - constantly renewed in the daily dedication which they make of their persons, their pupils, their communities, their houses of foundation and their entire Congregation.
