61Padre avails all this if you have not learned to serve your God? The learned college graduate who misses Mass, never frequents the Sacraments, shuns his Pastor, derides the devotion of his youth, is ignorant, knows not the true values of life, is dumb, is blind, is dead. His learning has proved his undoing, for he will never render to God the things that are God ' s. Learning without service knew no part in the upbuilding of the United States. You may be a graceful orator, but if you do not serve your country you do not love her. Lip service of the so-called learned has been a curse to the United States. No such service can be rendered by a true Loyolan. Trained as he is to action, we have a right to expect that he will be outstanding in our country ' s every emergency. If all knowledge should lead you to the love of God, then prove yours by your service to the neighbor. Love of God and love of neighbor go hand in hand; the one cannot exist without the other. They are two flames rising from one fire, two streams flowing from one source. Christ remarks: If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love his God whom he seeth not? The only great graduate is he who combines knowledge with service, and who steps out into the community a helper of his brother. I say great advisedly; for greatness is in giving not getting. So, my sons, learn in these hallowed precincts how to serve. And in life serve faithfully, so that when the Master calls He will tell you You profited most because you served best. rs. . 6. a
