waiting W0 zeta to tth 552250 15, As you pass from the protecting arms of your Alma Mater to the wildering spaces of life's school, in what things shall I counsel you? Obviously in many. First let me exhort you to Hprove all things; hold fast that which is good. At all times adhere to the teachings of your Mother Church. Express your loyalty to O, L. DI. by measuring up to her ideals, and by being active members of her Alumnae. In all life's devious ways hold yourself as a true Mercian in readiness for anything and everything. To effect this, make the best possible use of your God-given talents and opportunities. AS you journey through life, endeavor to realize more and more that God is personally interested in you and in all your undertakings. In the remem- brance of this heartening thought resolve to trust Him implicitly. With the dawn of each new day be determined to accept your duty as a gift of God to youeneither peering too anxiously into the future nor awaiting results too eagerly. After all, it is far wiser to do the duty of the hour than to leave success or failure to God. If failure should come, bear well in mind that you look for new heavens and a new earth. And the open sesameH to this new world? It is none other than the golden key of prayer. Every day ask yourself, How am I using the subtle power of influencing others? Try to realize that you have a circle of influence within your home, among your friends, and in your community, and that you contribute, con- structively or destructively, to the Divine Scheme of things. Finally, you must become more intensely aware of personal justice, fair playNand consideration for others. If you can get a firm hold on these things, then your emotions will blossom into acts of sweet, simple neighborliness; your integrity of Character will manifest itself in deeds of courage and love. These are the things men live by. Without them you will not prevail. With them you will make life, death. and that vast forever one grand, sweet song. SISTER MARY DE CHANTAL, R.S.M.
