Classes 'A believing youth is one who has a lofty ideal and who is deeply convinced of the reality, the power and the value of this ideal. You possess this high ideal. You wish to work for the cause of God. You wish to work for the cause of Christ and His Church. The teach- ings and the grace of Jesus Christ, of which He has made the Church the custodian and the dis- penser, the Catholic faith and Christian prin- ciples have always constituted the essential foundation for the happiness and greatness of your people. Help to maintain this indispen- sable foundation in your native land-this is the ideal which you pursue. Pope Pius XII

His was no easy task, for Ger- many was wavering unsteadily in the service of the Church under the terrors of war. During these years of strife, His Holiness spent most of his time doing works of mercy, extending a. help- ing hand to the suffering and needy. When the Great War ended, the conditions in Germany grew worse, and the influence of Archbishop Pacelli was especially felt. Revolt spread through cer- tain sections of the country and in this trying time, he exercised his ability as a foreseeing diplomat and statesman. At the formation of the German Republic, the Archbishop served as papal nuncio to Germany and was beloved and respected for his piety and learn- ing. His every moment was spent in the interest of the Church, visiting as he did, nearly every part of that country. In all, he spent twelve years in Germany and in that time wrought much for his Master. When the word arrived from the Pope that Archbishop Pacelli was to become a Prince of the Church, a Cardinal, the love he left behind caused one child to run to him pleading, Please, come back! The Archbishop could not hold back his tears, such was his devotion.
