there in the company of Mary and the Holy Angels that he found his answer! From that little chapel of Saint Mary of the Angels, the Blessed Mother sent out Saint Francis and his disciples to preach to the world again the doctrine of her Son so often forgotten by men. It was the doctrine of true and lasting peace and joy which comes through sacrifice and selflessness founded on contempt for material things and Victory over self. It was the one safe cure for all wars, because it offered to men interior peace of soul. That too few accepted this teaching every one is aware. But, like Saint Francis, what can you do about it? For four years you have had the good fortune to sit at the feet of Our Lady of the Angels, to bask in the sunshine of her smile, and to drink in the graces which she most certainly must shower on your school. Like Saint Francis you, too, have been building-building the important adolescent years of your lives under the loving guidance of Mary and the daughters of Saint Francis. Not only have you received in Marys school knowledge so Vital in facing life, but inspired by Saint Mary of the Angels, as was Saint Francis, you are now sent into a war-torn world to live your lives so that you may bring peace and joy to the rest of mankind as well as to yourselves. Mary expects you to teach by your lives that Christian doctrine of unselfishness and self-conquest inculcated in you by word and example in her school. You have a big job to do, so take Mary With you. Make of your hearts little chapels dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels wherein the Blessed Mother will reside all your life to guard you against forgetting what she expects of you, to help you light the good fight? And should dark days come, you need but turn your eyes to your Queen of the Angels and she will give you the strength to come usmiling through? mew. Seraph UN Zeitz, Q C7 m. NW Page fifteen

C70 tlze GRHDUBTEIS ODAY, our country as well as the rest of the world is engaged in the greatest war of all history. Barely twenty-five years ago a war was fought to end all wars. That war was to be a lesson to man. Just so, some seven centuries ago a little war was fought between the Cities of Perugia and Assisi from which there came a lesson men should never have forgotten, a lesson that should stand you in good stead today. For some time during that war a young and prosperous merchant of Assisi languished in Perugia as a prisoner of war. He was an ardent lover of worldly pleasure, a happy-go-lucky fellow. Even in prison his good spirits were not dampened. Nevertheless, he returned home from that war a changed, a puzzled man. There were three things that Saint Francis, for he was the young man, had learned about war. First, he saw that hatred and greed, forgetfulness of love of God and man were the causes of war. Secondly, he realized that war can be won by sacrifice alone, sacrifice coming from strong and virtuous characters which in turn are built on true love of God and man. Lastly, and by far, his most important conclusion was that war was nothing more than the reflection of the conflict within men,s souls. If then, reasoned Saint Francis, every- one loved God and one another, there would be no war. And if men were at peace with themselves, they would be at peace with others. But what could he do about it? For several years Saint Francis sought the solution to his problem. Putting off the gaudy vesture of the world for the garment of a ltfool of God? the sack-cloth of penance, Saint Francis occupied himself with prayer and the rebuilding of poor churches. To one of these little Churches, Saint Mary of the Angels, he was particularly devoted. It was Page fourfcm.
