In a national crisis Lincoln said, In unity there is strength. This is even more true of our unity 05 Catholic young Americans in the Victory Corps, for every thought and breath and action when united with Christ as members of His Mystical Body gains divine merit. That is why that spirit penetrates all our classes and activities. It raises our Bond and Stamp .rives, basketball games, music classes, geometry figures, algebraic numerals, and even homework assignments to the level of meritorious service for 0d as well as for country and for school.

Today the world is the stage for the drama of World War II. Two forces are in conflict . materialism against recognition of the human soul. When the play is over and the dead march in solemn procession in another Flanders Field, who will be the victor? The answer is obvious, for victory is two- fold, material and spiritual. The nation whose citizens can sacrifice personal interests and endure another Good Friday in view of the Easter Morn, that notion shall be victor! Realizing this great value of the individ- uol's sacrifice, our Sodolity officers have in- troduced the Living Cross or the Spiritual Victory Corps. United under Christ's Cross of Sacrifice our army is invincible. 31
