Catholic Press Exhibit During Catholic Press Month In the shoreless, storm-harrowed ocean of the press of the world and its various philosophies of life, the Catholic Press should stand as a seer and prophetf' -His HoLiNEss Porn Pics XII May the Catholic press be worthy always of the cause of religion and humanityg worthy in its thought, technique and circulationf' --Apostolic Delegate, A. G. CICOGNANI Destroy the Catholic press of this country, and the Church and its work will lose ,fifty per cent of its effectiveness. -MosT Raviaiumn Ancmsisuola M. I. CURLEY Archbishop of Baltimore and Washington Catholic organizations could engage in no more laudatory Catholic-Action en- deavor than to canvass every home for the purpose of getting into it an instructive religious paper and magazine. Their zeal would put to shame those who have hitherto not received, and those who do not read, Catholic literature regularly. -REVEREND BISHOP F. NOLL Bishop of Fort VVayne The Catholic press may be regarded as the mouthpiece of the head of the Church in the fulfillment of his mission to keep intact the divine Faith committed to his care and to foster the purity of Christian morals. It is our Holy Father himself who gave this title to it when, a short time ago, on the occasion of an address to a group of Catholic jour- nalists he said to them, 'You are my voice.' -Mos'r REVEREND Aitci-isisi-lop lor-IN A.

Mansions Last summer, I stood in front of the new Science Hall at one of the leading universities in the mid-west and marveled at the strength and the grandeur of the massive structure. The huge white pillars seemed to defy the ravages of time as they supported the giant blocks of granite above them. The lofty towers seemed to point heavenward with a sense of pride. As I stood and gazed at the structure, I lost sight of the four walls, the pillars and the towers, and thought only of the energy, the talent and the mind of the young architect who had built them. It seemed that his heart and soul had created a symphony of iron, steel and stone. Quickly the story of that young man's life ran through my mind. He was a carpenter's song as a boy, he had few of the pleasures that other children had. While his comrades were playing, he was busy helping his Father. The Fatherls ambition was to have his son to be a carpenter, but deep in the soul of the boy there was a burning desire to go to college, to be a great architect. Several times he tried to broach the question to his parents, but each time he met with opposition. At last when he was old enough to make his own way he registered at one of our large universities. Today, the dreams of that young man have come true, and that new Science Hall stands as a monument to his child- hood dreams, a mansion of his soulis great desire. The life of that young architect and the mansion which he built should awaken in us a sense of opportunity. These are days of panic, war and suffering. Across the skies of Europe and Asia can be seen the fiames of burning cities, and each and every nation sits fearful lest the great war-god work havoc within its boundaries. The cries of women and children resound throughout the streets of the war-torn coun- tries. In our own America, social and economic chaos reign. We need only to look into the hearts of our people to realize the suffering and unhappiness of mankind. For the past ten years we have been attempting to climb out of the pit we fell into in 1929. During that time, we have seen some ten million men out of work, thousands of others who have been unable to follow their chosen professions, and still others who have never been quite sure' that with their next pay-check there will not be a notice concerning their dismissal. Under these conditions does man ever stop to look into his inner self and to ask, What man- sions am I building? Do we ever realize that we have great possibilities? In the face of present day difficulties some feel that circumstances are against them, hence seldom make the effort to accomplish the apparent impossible. They have ceased to realize that one's best efforts should be put forth in the face of opposition. The greatest mansions ever built have been constructed under adverse circumstances. Demosthenes, overcome with an apparently unconquerable impediment of speech, became one of the foremost orators of ancient times. Ludwig Van Beethoven, deprived of hearing in the later years of his life, composed great symphonies which have never been surpassed. Louis Pasteur, in the fact of ridicule and scorn, forged ahead against opposition and suc- ceeded, even at the risk of his life, in perfecting a serum to combat rabies. Robert Louis Stevenson, even after he was confined to his bed, produced some of the world's greatest literature. Abraham Lincoln, whose immortal memory shall forever be linked with that of liberty, fought his way from childhood to establish the ideal of freedom from bondage. Helen Heller, deprived of sight and hearing, proved to the world that these difficulties can be overcome. Thus down through the ages, men and women have risen above their difficulties and have built many mansions. Today their messages echo and re-echo in the hearts of men as never before, we must heed their example and build as they have built. In the face of our present day difficulties, we should make the most of our talents and not be overcome by the almost insurmountable obstacles that are on every side. There are unlimited oppor- tunities for those who would build mansions. The world needs men and women of vision, men and women who are willing to sacrifice their own selfish pleasures in order to build mansions for the betterment of humanity. If each and every man, each and every country were to set about the task of building, there would be no place in this world for greed and avarice. It is our task as Catholic High School graduates to direct our energies so that the next generation shall look with pride on the mansions we have built.
