I can do all things in Him who strenghtens me It is now time for us the Seniors to put away the things of a child and assume the responsibilities of an adult. To do this we must put into use all the things we have learned here at St. Iohn's. We have been taught the truth and this has united us to Christ and to each other. The basis for this union is the common belief in the truth we accept-God's word which has been revealed to us by Christ. We must believe this and we do believe because our lives have been fashioned after the truth. We will strive to live the life of a real Christian. We will be other Christs. The real test lies ahead and we know it is hard to keep the truth and be true to Christ, especially'in this modern world. But, united in the love of Cod and each other, we can become true Christian women. There are dangers and tempta- tions we will meet but if our standards are high and our love of Cod great, we can overcome them. If we let Christ live in us through prayer and the sacraments, we will never be alone. He will be the strong support of all our endeavors, the help in our need, the comfort of our sorrows, the eternal joy of our eternity.
