Now as you graduate and take up your various careers in the world, your thoughts and aspirations are more than ever colored with the bloodly dyes of war. You, too, realize that you must be soldiersin one way or another. I speak to you, therefore, as I would to soldiers! Have you ever watched a military parade? What were your reactions as you beheld row after row of those splendidly uni- formed men marching in even step behind a brilliant, waving flag? Together with an inborn feeling of patriotism and pride did you not have a surge of gratitude well up in your hearts for the sense of security which those marching men symbolized? Surely you have had this experience, and you know what an inspiring sight is a military parade. But what, in reality, makes the soldier? It isn,t the splendor of his uniform; of that we are sure. For the uniform is only the outward mark of the soldier; and the inward mark is far more important. It is the well disciplined body united to the more disciplined and stronger spirit that will not fail to use the weapons of war. These are the essentials of every true soldier. Just so, you were meant to be soldiers, womanly soldiers in a
world that sorely needs you. You have been given the soldiefs uniform; and it won,t be taken away from you. If you flght Well it Will be a sign of glory to you; on the contrary, if you are cowardly it Will be a sign of reproach and disgrace. But your uniform means little if you have no weapons, no strength, no knowledge of fighting. And needless to say, you have been well provided With weapons, With strength, and with flghting knowl- edge! Four years of discipline, study, sacrihce and prayer at Our Lady of the Angels have equipped you properly. All that now remains is that you prove yourselves in battle; for that is the soldiefs first duty: to fight, and fight bravely. It,s a strange battle you must fight, and it wont be won in a day. Guns and bayonets are not yours to use; only the double edged sword of the spirit and heart of a truly valiant woman! For woman shall yet be held responsible for a nobler, better world When Victory COmCS. Therefore, we say to you soldiers who have been trained in Mary,s school, and have been endowed with some of Mary,s spirit: go forth! fight! and may Victory be yoursea Victory for Which we may praise the Mother of God, and her ever blessed Son. s metrerena, gdwin CSCtllllClL Q.
