ORD have mercy on them: Christ have mercy on them, in memoriam we say prayers and aspirations for those who have gone to join God's eternal army and we who mourn their loss find solace for our sorrow, in Prayer. It is for the valiant youths who were suddenly called from our midst into the Beyond, we pray, asking our Saviour's mercy on their souls and comfort in our tribulations. Two years ago, on a beautiful spring day, four of our companions answered the angel of death and, as silently as shadows that disappear with the dawn, drifted into the Land of Eternal Light. To perpetuate the memory of the four boys and to ask God to alleviate their sufferings, the Memorial Society was founded. Since its organization, nearly two years ago, a Mass has been offered every two weeks by the A society. The students attend Mass in a body and receive Holy Com- if munion for the boys. Lest we forget, as days slip by, a tablet of bronze, on which their names are inscribed, was placed in the main corridor, reminding youth of E God's unfathomable ways. Through prayer we aid those we have lost and, I as the beautiful words ascend to Heaven, peace reigns in our hearts. JU1.iA Bowiansox, '27.

This is an incentive to enlist others in missionary work. What an honorable endeavor, to try to carry the faith of Christ to the ignor- ant pagans of Africa, China and India! We do not accomplish this need directly but rather indirectly by prayer, sacrifice, and funds. Especially by praying for the priests who gave their lives for this cause, that they may be successful in their undertaking. Constant prayer is a vital necessity. The first step of reorganizing our unit for this year was the election of officers which resulted in the following: President, Evelyn Matzeng Vice President, Edward Connelly, Secretary, Julia Bowersoxi and Treasurer, Joseph Nolan. On Tuesday afternoon, March eighth, three young men from the head- quarters for the Crusade of the City of Detroit, which is the Sacred Heart Seminary, addressed our student body regarding the needs and conditions of the missions in foreign lands. Their explanation brought home to us the real purpose of the organization and everyone took a new attitude towards this most needy cause. K These Crusade Units are reunited each year not only for their own en- richment but to really understand the state of affairs in foreign lands. This must be done by studying lthe conditions and in understanding them. We will, as a consequence, be filled with a desire to do our share in con- verting the millions of Pagans. DOROTHY WYATT, '27.

'VH RI TI-KS PAUL l?ENMAN lluoifr COMM:ARFORD XYILLIAM XYIIITING IGN,x'riUs SULLIVAN President V zce-President Secretary Treasurer junior ll-lloly Name Society HE Holy Name Society is a group of men and boys organized for the purpose of giving honor to God. They have been gathered from all classes, from all paths of life, and from all nations. There are those whose lives have been spent in the comfort and culture of palatial homes, those whose lives have been narrowed to the squalid tenements in some city's rough east side, and those who are recent arrivals from the strange lands across the seas. In this, the Holy Name Society, they are met on a common ground, to incite and practice reverence for the Holy Name. It is a universal organization, distributing its benefits among rich and poor, patrician and laborer, with an impartial hand. Its members do not pay dues, therefore, every Catholic has the opportunity of joining. Mem- bers share in all the prayers and Masses are offered for their intentions. But, above all, it teaches them regularly to receive Communion. Once every month its members meet in the cool gray of the morning to receive the Sacred Host at God's Table and release the soul from the powers of darkness. No longer is God,s Name heard in profanity on men's lips. Everywhere is evidenced a respect and devotion to the name of their Lord and Redeemer. Is it not the name of the greatest Man who ever came upon the earth? You would not dream of profaning the name of Washington. Then, why His? EDWARD GRANTHAM, '28.
