F 9 cqfumnaa Uzigufa go Dm cbliaizsu In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fills up the interspaceg but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration. Despite the tendency of the times away from it, the spirit of wonder need never die on earth. Out of darkness still comes the dawn, out of silence the hurry of great winds, from the soil the delicacy of Howers, from the acorn a giant of a tree, and from the sacred beauty of matrimony the miracle of a child as from the glory of blossoms the fruit. Truly indeed, the- spirit of wonder should never grow faint in the heart of man. f And yet thart is precisely what happens. Enjoying such blessings year after year, month after month, day after day, we are inclined to take them too much for granted, and to ferget what marvels they really are. Surely their annual, or even daily, accur- rence does not substract from their greatness. But, strangely enough, it does, breed- a lack of appreciation and of thanksgiving. If the Creator were to withhold from the world, just once, the coming of springtime, people would be heard complaining over the entire world. But because our good God is gracious enough not to interfere with the glory of His own creation, because He lets us have every year, without fail, the harmonizing music of the birds and the brooks and the Whispering trees as Well as the infinite variation of color, from the blue of the sky to the dark and hiding sweetness of the violet, because He blends the warmth of the sun with the fragrance of May and June and July, and does a hundred other things like it, the voice of Hman, whichwould be only too ready to complain, remains silent and forgets to offer thanks. And this brings us to our point. We Alumnae members, old and young, have enjoyed year in and year out a beauty of devotion on the part of the Ursuline Sisters which many of us do not sufficiently appreciate. And why? For the same reason that we fail to appreciate the other blessings of heaven. We take that service of these God4sent women for granted. We dofn't pause to think how much we have needed them in the past for ourselves and how much we are going to continue needing them for the spiritual -growth of our children. And so to the Sisters who have given unstintingly ocf their time'and energy to our school we extend our grateful appreciation. ' in I A 4 Z' Copa THE 194D URSULINE
