j eacCy he iuit of justice With the children of the Church throughout the world, we would pay tribute to Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, in this year of his episcopal jubilee, by presenting to our readers a short sketch of the first three years of his pontificate. In the late afternoon of March 2, 1939, a tense crowd stood, silent and expectant, in huge St. Peter’s square, while the brilliant glow of an Italian sunset lit the sky. Suddenly a murmur went through the crowd. Smoke was coming from the fateful chimney, smoke to announce to the waiting thousands the results of the Cardinals’ ballots. But was that smoke white—proclaiming that a new Pontiff had been elected, or black—a sign that the ballot had failed? Against the brilliant sky it was impossible to tell. So, while the disappointed crowd argued over the color of the smoke a broadcast was sent from the Vatican—Eugenio Paceili was Pope. Thus strangely enough. Catholics the world over, miles from the scene of the great drama knew the climax before those who had spent weary hours at the very door of the theatre. But when the glad tidings were finally an¬ nounced to the crowds in the Square, scarcely had they heard, “Eugenium”, when they broke out into the “Te Deum.” To the Romans there was but one Eugenio, their beloved Cardinal Paceili. As the throng was leaving St. Peter’s, newsboys were already on the scene with “extras”, bearing the picture of the newly elected Pontiff. Amazed at this evidence of journal¬ istic speed, the crowds mechanically reached for the news-sheets. Yes, there was the face of Pius XII, but the close observer noticed that the hands were those of Pius XL Ten days later, in the afternoon of March 12, 1939, Eugenio Paceili appeared on a balcony of St. Peter’s in Rome in view of cheering thousands who jammed the vast square before the ancient church. After four hours of solemn ceremonial within the red and gold bedecked basilica, he had come outdoors to receive the triple tiara as Father of Princes and Kings, Rector of the world and Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which symbolized his accession as Pope Pius XII. A shadow was lifted from crowds thronging below for they spoke of three happy omens. The new Pontiff’s family name, Paceili, was derived from the Italian “pace” meaning peace. He had chosen as his papal title the name of his predecessor—Pius XI—Pope of peace. A dove bringing an olive branch figured prominently on his personal coat of arms. TEN

Other generous souls soon came to enroll themselves under the banner of Our Lady of the Missions. The result was that in October 1864, the first band of sisters sailed for Napier, New Zealand where the first Missionary House of the Institute was opened. In 1883 the first House in the vast Indian missionfield was established by the Foundress herself at Chittagong, East Bengal. Two Houses in England and several others in New Zealand were opened during the lifetime of the Foundress. Despite a very frail and delicate constitution Mother Marie du Coeur de Jesus twice visited her convents in far New Zealand and everywhere won the hearts of those with whom she came in contact by her spirit of zeal, her simplicity and charity. Towards the end of October, 1892, Very Reverend Mother went to visit the houses in England. While in Sturry, near Canterbury, she was attacked by her last illness. During these days of suffering she prayed unceasingly. When told that God was about to call her to Himself, she joyfully exclaimed, “Deo Gratias” and shortly afterwards went to receive the reward of her saintly life. It was on January 18, 1893 that, as became a missionary religious, far from her own country. Reverend Mother Marie du Coeur de Jesus gave up her soul to God for Whose glory she had sacri¬ ficed herself. The mortal remains of this valiant woman are buried in the Chapel of the Convent of St. Anne, Sturry, Kent. M. A. EDITORIAL (Continued from Page 6.) The well-ordered discipline and training proper to Catholic schools helps to develop in us a high moral sense, and the habit of doing things because they ought to be done. This is nothing else than striving to keep inclination and passion subject to reason, which is the ideal of natural human perfection.the best we can do. I n this literary venture we are also urged to do the best we can. The effort has been almost exclusively our own, and we present our Year Book to our readers in the hope that they too will agree that our College has fulfilled for us the chief want in life. We wish to express our hearty thanks to our Patrons and Advertisers for their help. We also wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Z. M. Hamilton of the Saskatchewan Historical Society, the Leader Post, and the Bureau of Publications of the Provincial Govern¬ ment for their valuable assistance. —P. O’F. NINE
