Q2 Here are but a few glimpses of the charming beauty which is hidden under each cassocked breast-little miniatures of God's beauty There seems to be goodness everywhere one looks. The human soul scarcely knows the depth of its own beauty, Re cognition of this will spur man on to greater efforts. Where lies its cause? That question has been often pondered. The only answerseems to be that each soul contains, hidden from the eyes of man the image of its Creator, of its God. If it be not this then we must Join our voices with Saint Bonaventure and Saint Alphonsus who cried O Good jesus, what hast Thou seen in me which hath made Thee love me so much--why, Lord, why? But this must suffice The Church is moving: she is a living organism constantly manifesting this by assimilating truth and rejecting error throughout the ages' Today, she cries for leaders, and perhaps the call was never more urgent. She must continue her work of saving souls, and she- must do this in a swiftly changing society Methods are being altered in educational, scientific and medical lines The Church must meet these ad vances step by step not by modifying her doctrines or her liturgy but by br1ng1ng the beauties of her religion before the eyes of the public in order to win the hearts and minds of men Hence she' calls for men who are developing their potential- ity for good who see souls ln their beauty, and love them for God who measure all good in the light and spirit of faith Courageous in their duties, missionaries to the souls of all-she calls you She calls for men of sterling character, she calls you She begs for men of God-she points to you-for the power of the Church rests in her priesthood. Only a priesthood that has the spirit of zeal intelligence, and sacrifice, and neg lects no opportunities and shrinks from no effort to equip itself fully will enable the Church to speak to the world as her mission demands.

It is here reproduced as cited by a fe1low-semin- arianz One evening about eight-twenty, in need of in- formation, I ventured to a seminarian's room, knocked lightly, and quietly opened the door. I stepped back quickly--there he knelt with his head buried deeply in his hands-a small crucifix before him-wrapt in meditation. I tried to escape but could not. He told me later of the pleasure he ex- perienced in kneeling before the crucifix. This is but a single instance of the childlike love and the ardent devotion which is so commonly found in the life of the seminarian. Perhaps the words of the following poem, In a Seminary Garden, by Grace H. Sherwood, illustrate this better than the recounting of numerous examples: I knew that in a corner lay Some graves, but did not know the way And asked a student that I met. And what he said I quite forgot A path-a turn-it matters not His eyes I never shall forget If eyes are easements, as they say,f The youthful seminarian there Forgot to pull the blinds today And I surprised a Saint at prayer M en go to famous shrines to pray Because a saint knelt there one day But I I found one in my town For seeking a forgotten name I stumbled on the deathless flame God lights in hearts He makes His own slllg Ellllllg sllls 'I MII I . x . . 1 .
