The TRUMPET 1 1 uf Qfenzofs eiverie llfhen your turrets no more defend me, rind your open portals -wide Hfill send me forth into the surgi-ng, The rushing and crushing life-tide: Let your ideals shine forth on this ocean Of human .struggle and strife, To guide all your sons and your daughters Towards a higher and nobler life. Let the light of your beam nefuer flicker, Lest one of our numbers be lost, And let it shine more brilliantly, W'hc'tz by the angry billofws fwe're tossed. When my cruise on this ocean is ended, And I sail up the harbor for Howie , Then, and then only, Saint Gabr5el's, Let me follofw my course all alone. VIAMES J. QEARRAIIAN, '26. I Q E671

The TRUMPET O I O The Eucharistic Congress TIIE International Eucharistic Congresses are among the latest manifestations of devotion to the lilessed Sacrament, and nothing more surely meets the peculiar needs of our times than these magnificent public acts of adoration. The achievements of the modern world are so vast, it has piled up such wealth, and organ- ized such astounding armies and businesses, that nothing less than a gigantic demonstration makes an impression upon it. The individual devotion of the faithful has little enough effect on the busy world. There is need of a great unified act by which hundreds of thousands publicly honor Christ in the Eucharist, before the modern world will pay heed to a doctrine which it does not pretend to understand, and because it so fits the needs of our times, its growth and development has been little short of miraculous. This is precisely where the value of the International Eucharistic Congress lies. On june 21, 1881, the first Eucharistic Con- gress niet in France. That was less than forty- Five years ago, and the gathering itself was relatively small and purely local in its character. In less than a decade the handful of worshippers who formed the first Eucharistic Congress had grown to International proportions. Thus France was the mother of the Eucharistic Con- gress, but the world outside was eager to offer a public reception to our Saviour. Now our own country has been chosen for the Twenty-eighth International Eucharistic Congress. The United States, the young, vigor- ous, robust child among the nations., so proud of its achievements, with its twenty million Cath- olics, its unparalleled work in church building, and its triumphs in education and charity, strong in faith and devotion, longs to open its arms to invite the Catholic world to,join it in honor- ing Christ, the King. Our ever faithful Cath- olics are as eager to show their fellow-Americans the depth of their faith as they are to demonstrate it to the ancient Churches of Europe from whom they have received it as a precious heritage. Chicago has been chosen for this great event because no city is prouder of its Catholic life. VVithin its borders are a million and a half of Catholics worshipping in more churches than in any city of Europe, and served by a devoted clergy at whose head is a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. For the last twenty-five years this city has been trained to welcome and re- ceive vast crowds. To some extent it is the convention city of the world. None is better equipped to welcome the sudden influx of a million visitors. So Chicago is prepared as few other cities in the world to entertain the host of visitors who come to to this, the Twenty-eighth Interna- tional Eucharistic Congress. MARGARET A.
