Loyola College Review IN MEMORIAM THE REVEREND GEORGE F. BRADLEY, s.J. 1881 — 1941 Loyola: 1913-15 — 1921-24 Liegeman of Christ and of His Warrior Saint, The glorious fight is won. Rest from your toil. Ignatian zeal burned in your beart- gave wings To tireless feet and led you by the hand. From fair Cape Breton' s wave-washed shores, by lakes Serene, through waving prairie gold, to far Beyond the Rockies! peaks of deathless snows Your voice was heard—a potent voice that brought 4 message straight from God in accents clear. Countless the souls who eagerly looked up To feed on hope, and inspiration draw From lips fast-consecrated to the truth. Crusader of Christ, rest, rest in peace. Home to the island shores you loved so well, To native hills your youthful eyes have viewed, Home to the Parish Churcb—tbe modest school, Home to your own who crowd around you still; Home, home to stay, your weary feet have turned. From Sacred Chair to cold and silent tomb, Was but a single step. Your noon of life, Eclipsed, alas, sped swiftly to its eve. А thousand lips in reverence breathe your name, Above your grave a thousand mourners weep. Angels of Light, watch o'er bis cold dark bed: God of Mercy, welcome Thy servant home. L.A.B., S.J. Page 12

гээл” 7” کک‎ лу унын LOYOLA Page 13 COLLEGE REVIEW The expedition, ably captained by Paul de Maisonneuve, was primarily spiritual in its intent. Its immediate aim was the establishment of three religious communities: one of priests and two of nuns, who were to work in this new field for the aggrandizement of the Kingdom of God upon earth. Thus, with the first Mass on May 18th, 1642, was founded the Village of Ville-Marie. The question has often been eeneg what caused the tiny village of УШе- Marie to grow to the greatness of the Montreal we know today? Men will list as elements contributing to this growth, numberless advantages of location. But I believe that one important factor in this success story has been overlooked. This circumstance is concisely and og wipe summed up in Tennyson’s well-known words: ‘‘More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” Let us take a few moments and travel back into the past, to the early days of Ville-Marie. We stand on the mountain-side and look downward through the clear wintry air into the tiny village. The scene is beautiful beyond description with the weird beauty of a world of shapes and shadows lighted by the flickering glow of the Northern Lights. Away down there in the valley we see a single light, and from that spot the sound of music drifts up through the quiet air:—Vespers: Like strangers’ voices here they sound In lands where not a memory strays Nor landmark tells of other days But all is new unhallowed ground. It is clear that the great English poet was not thinking of this picture when he wrote those words, but their appropriateness is striking. If one were to bear this scene in mind and to give it any consideration, he could not help but be convinced that here is to be found the key to the success of Ville- Marie. The toils and sufferings of the founders have borne fruit. Indeed more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. ' Metabolism The sun can draw the humblest rain-drop Muddied by the April thaw; Raise it to a mountain top, of it make The shiny flake of chill, icy, Alpine snow That year-round sparkles in a gleam-light Beam-bright, spotless-silvered glow. God's grace can win Earth's blackest soul Fallen by Hell' s vilest sin; Call him to life's honour-roll, and he'll own The highest throne in the happy balo-borde Who have lived as heros in the life-blest Heaven-rest service of the Lord. James MELL, 43.
