Long years ago the Foundresses of Notre Dame were advised and strengthened in their first efforts to found schools for children by Fathers of the Faith. These were ac- tually llesuits temporarily suppressed bee cause unjustly accused of political nia- chinations.

Through the murky fog of ig- KZ jak wifi: you . . . MAG, 3 Q bled! J Q .tlrmc norance and turmoil consequent upon the French Revolution, Blessed julia Billiart and her de- v o t e d companion, Francoise Blin de Bourdon, steered their little educational barque into the hopeful waters of better times through enlightened in- struction. They needed a firm grip on the helm to outride the storms which the enemy of souls stirred up. Their confidence never wavered and one of the chief lessons they taught their Sisters was that of unswerving trust in God and Our Lady. Blessed Marie Rose Julie Billiart. Foundress of the Institute of Notre Dame de Namur. God's grace and Our Lady's maternal help have never failed to rescue the Sisters from tight spots. Unbounded trust in di- vine Providence, therefore, is one of the chief lessons taught by them to all their pupils. Anchor your trust then, dear Graduate, deep in the loving hearts of Our Lord and His mother. Before Life's shatter- ing, chasmed fears you will go forth unafraid if you remember that yours is a heritage of sheer, shining trust. Reverend Mother St. joseph, C0- Foundress, whose vast fortune sup- plied the material help needed to be- gin the Institute.
