Bishop of St. Augustine
Addresses Graduates of
University of Florida
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Peace
among Christians “is an almost in-
despensable postulate to enduring
peace,'’ the Most Rev. Joseph P.
Hurley, Bishop of St. Augustine,
asserted in a baccalaureate address
here to 252 graduates of the Uni
versity of Florida, in urging a re
union of the followers of Christ.
“I do not believe that we can
rise to the high level of superna
tural effectiveness demanded by
such a peace if Christians main
tain Iheir historic divisions,”
Bishop Hurley said.
Of the fearlessness in the face
of Nazi brutality and persecutions
displayed by the Bishops of Ger
many, France, Belgium, and Hal
land, of the “intrepid Churchmen
of Norway,” of Pastor Niemoeller
Bishop Hurley declared “Christ
ianity can glory in the deeds of
such champions.” “It is men like
these,” he said, “who are the hope
of Germany, and Europe and of
the world. They prove to us again
that the last refuge of liberty is
religion.”
DIVISION CAUSES WEAKNESS
Bishop Hurley continued: “How
unfortunate it is then that Christ
ianity must meet this crisis divid
ed, as she has met every other
crisis in modern times. Ever since
the sixteenth century the weakness
of Western Christianity has been
the fractioning of its thought and
action.
“Multitudinous sects have been
estranged from that unity for
which Our Lord prayed, by doctri
nal differences, by exparte appre
ciations of history, by personal and
group interests, by acquired pre
judices, by partisan loyalties and
by national animosities. However
charitable we may be in our judg
ment on the lack of solidarity
among the followers of Christ, it
admits of no doubt that division
has immeasurably lessened the
strength of Christian influence for
peace and good will among- men.
No matter how loyally a-man may
be attached to a sect or a denomin
ation, he must regret that because
of fragmentation the full power cf
the Christian ethic of brotherhood
cannot be marshalled in this criti
cal hour in favor of a just and en
during peace.”
Bishop Hurley said .the road to
reunion “is difficult but it is not
impossible” and it is not “nearly
so difficult as the road we shall
travel if Christianity is to remain
divided.” He warned unless “we.
get together, the forces of mater
ialism, of savagery and of chaos,
with the weapons forged by the
age of machined, will destroy in fu
ture wars almost everything that
is worthwhile in life.”
Bishop Hurley concluded his ad
dress with these words:
“With the voices of Cardinal
Von Faulhaber , of Munich, of
Cardinal Bertram of Breslau, of
Bishop Von Galen of Muenster,
of Bishop Von Preysing of Berlin,
and of all their brother Bishops
who have joined in that magnif
icent series of Pastoral Letters,
with the voice of Pastor Niemcel-
ler, Christianity, rooted in fidelity
to the law of God, speaks out
fearlessly for the rights and lib
erties and dignities of man. The
world today bows low before these
men of religion and their followers
who hourly faefe the threat and
the reality of torture and of death.
“They are not alone. The
Bishops of France, in the midst of
their own destitution, have defied
their Nazi conquerors in order to
feed and comfort the proscribed
Jew. The Bishop of Belgium, true
to the memory of the great Cardi
nal Mercier, and the Bishops of
Holland, joined by the intrepid
Churchmen of Norway, have re
fused to collaborate with violence
and injustice. All of them are
but following the lead of that
venerated Roman Pontiff, Pope
Pius XI of happy memory, who,
even in 1937, stigmatized National
Socialism as the enemy of God
and of man; and of His Successor
in the See of Peter,. Pope Pius
XII, who though physically at the
mercy- of Nazi and Fascist might
has never ceased to voice Christian
opposition to the totalitarian^, and
to give comfort and support to
their unfortunate victims.”

AIDING IN WAR EFFORT
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
ST. LOUIS, — An idea of the
wide scope of war aid activities
conducted under the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Carondelet, since Pearl
Harbor, is indicated in a summary
of reports from the five Provinces
of the community, covering all
sections of the United States and
some of its possessions. The sum
mary was made public at the Mo-
therhouse here by the Superior
General, Mother Mary Pius Neen-
an.
The 75,000 children in the 200
schools under the care of 3,300 sis
ters in the St. Paul, Troy, Los
Angeles, Augusta and St. Louis
Provinces, collected more than 3,-
000 tons of scrap. Students in the
elementary and high schools, col
leges and schools of nursing were
responsible for the sale of $2,000,-
000 of war bonds and stamps. Miss
Mary Lou Menges of Fontbonne
College, St. Louis, taking individu
al honors by selling more than
$29,000 of bonds, in the second vic
tory loan drive. In St. Theresa’s
School, Honolulu, a daily average
sale of $40 in stamps is maintained
by its student boys of 700 small
Hawaiians, Filipinos, Chinese, Jap
anese, Koreans and Portuguese.

Sisters of St. Joseph in the Islands
—Holy Rosary School, in Paia,
Maui — have earned the Minute
Man Flag awarded by the U. S.
Treasury Department, as have
numerous other schools of the
community in the United States.

of jeeps have been purchased. In
most of the schools, war stamps are
used as prizes, fees of admission,
class and club dues and even for
contributions for the support of
foreign missions. Virtually every
school reports various Red Cross
activities, victory gardens, bandage
rolling and many, particularly high
schools, colleges and schools of
nursing, care of children of moth
ers employed in war work and
farming and home nursing. Hund
reds of girls are aiding in hospitals
and thousands of boys are trained
as bicycle corps messengers, air
raid wardens, lifesavers, auxiliary
firemen, student patrolmen, junior
coast guards, plane observers and
even ambulance drivers. College
women are serving the USO clubs
in a variety of capacities.

manner of responsibilities from
managing evacuation centers in
Hawaii and on the West Coast, to
clerical assistants of local ration
ing boards, instructors in first aid,
home nursing, Braille writing,
home making.- canteen and nutri
tion courses given outside of their

ATLANTA, Ga. — <USMC> —
Jesuit High School in New Or
leans, operated by the peace-loving
Jesuits, has joined hands with the
fightin’est outfit of ’em all. the
U. S. Marine Corps.
The 700 students of this Catho
lic school wear leatherneck uni
forms, drill daily under Marine
sergeants, do K. P. duty and even
go to the brig for breaking disci
pline.
Now technically, of course, the
Jesuit High School is not connect
ed with the Marine Corps, but
two real Marine sergeants instruct
the boys in marching, rifle lore
and jiu jitsu. The school bought
the boys drill rifles and the boys’
parents bought the uniforms.
The boys call themselves the
Jesuit Marines. Membership is
strictly voluntary, but approxi
mately 100 per cent of the stu
dents belong to it.
So far as it is known, this deep-
south preparatory school is the
first of some 70 Jesuit institutions
in this country to go in for Marine
drill and discipline.
The Jesuit Marines have been
in existence now for four months
and Rev. Edward T. Cassidy, S. J.,
president of the school, has pro
nounced* 1 himself as well pleased
with it.
The Jesuit Marines is the joint
idea of the institution's president.
Father Cassidy, the principal,
Father William P. Donnelly, S. J.,
and Major C. S. Williamson III,
who was head of the Marines re
cruiting headquarters in New Or
leans and is now assigned to post
at Camp Lejeune, the New River
Leatherneck base in North Caro
lina.
The two Marine sergeants who
are training the Jesuit Marines.
Vincent Giangrosso and Leonard
Stafford, express themselves as
happy with the progress of the
Jesuit Marines.

In the 12 hospitals and schools
of nursing conducted by the 1 order;

technology and “refresher” courses
are given for nurses who had be-
come inactive in the profession.
