This gift enabled them to go out and teach the gospel of Christ to the entire world, for they were understood by everyone who heard them, each ln his native tongue. The miraculous gift of tongues ls not given to us as it was to the Apostles. Yet the knowledge of languages can help us to understand the customs and culture of other lands, an understand- ing which forms a step toward international good will. The four years of Latin in our language program provide a knowledge of ancient culture, make us more appreciative of the liturgy of our Church, and furnish a basis for the study of modern languages. In addition, a knowledge of Latin is an invaluable aid in enlarging one's English vocabulary. The two-year French course furnishes students with the means to read, understand, and speak a modern language. Also, the study of the customs and history of France and the singing French songs help to promote an appreciation of the culture and civilization of our neighbors across the sea -22- FX Q ' tp!
