Cardinal Strifeh
Addresses Grads
At St. Joseph's
RENSSELAER, Ind. (NC)— Col
lege graduates in this atomic age
face opportunities as great as those
of the pioneers who built America,
His Eminence Samuel Cardinal
Striteh, Archbishop of Chicago, de
clared here.
The Cardinal addressed the
graduates of St. Joseph’s ..College
here. He and Auxiliary Bishop
Leo A. Pursley of Fort Wayne,
Ind., received honorary degrees at
the exercises.
Despite the fact that the world
“is described as bleak and dark,”
the Cardinal said, great opportuni
ties in the field of atomic energy
await the young men of today,
especially college graduates.
“I recently talked with a scien
tist,” the Cardinal said, "and he
told me of amazing things to come
in the atomic and electronic age.
He told me that we have just mere
ly scratched the surface of atomic
revelations. It is regrettable, how
ever, that at this time the atom
power is intended for destruction.”
The Cardinal said it is up to the
college graduates of today “to take
the leadership” in the utilization
of this new source of power and
bring about "inventions for the
benefit of mankind.”
“The opportunities are there for
you as they were for the pioneers
who cut down trees in the wilder
ness and made America great,”
the Cardinal said. "To be leaders,
you must make masterpieces of
yourselves . . . you must become
eons of God.”

MOTHERS DAY
BREAKFAST AT
SACRED HEART
ATLANTA, Ga. — “The ladies
did a beautiful job.” The occasion
was the Holy Name Society, Holy
Communion, and Breakfast at
Sacred Heart Church here in At
lanta on Sunday, May 10, 1953.
The ladies were commended not
only for getting their men to Mass
at 8:30, but more particularly the
ladies who prepared the breakfast
were complimented by the Chair
man.
The ceremony began at 8:25
with procession of the Cub Scouts,
Boy Seouts, the Officers of the
Holy Name Society, and the mem
bers; into Church, up the center
aisle, and to the seats in the front.
During Mass the special prayers
were lead by Mr. M. J. MaGuire,
our President, and Mass was cele
brated by Father Cummins.
The breakfast meeting was
opened with prayer, and Mr. Mc
Guire mentioned several items
such as: the word from the New
man Club that they were having a
special Mass at Georgia Tech today
and were unable to be present; it
was announced that Charlie Armon
had been appointed General Bag
gage Manager for the Southern
Railway.
Our .program chairman, Mr.
Clayton Burke, introduced the
guest speaker, Rev. Raymond
Healy, O.S.M., who talked on “The
M aning of Education.”
“We cannot give what we
haven’t got, we can give if we are
interested and enthused, we can
give if we know what we are giv
ing and thereby can give much
better”, said Father Healy. There
are, Father said, four general types
of education: Spiritual, Mental,
Moral (character), and Physical.
Education is “Like trying to raise
a flower without sunshine—like
trying to give education without
God”. Reparding Moral education
Father Healy stressed the need
for self-reliance, strength of char
acter, discipline .of self, and sense
of self responsibility. If we do not
have these faucets of character we
c-annot educate. We cannot give
v/hat we haven’t got, therefore we
have to have all of these before
we, in turn, can give them to our
children. Children imitate their
parents and therefore It is neces
sary for us to give good examples.
Character is like pouring con
crete into forms for a bridge,, the.
concrete hardens then the forms
are taken away and the columns
remain strong and have character.
So to, influence and points of
character are used to form the
character of our children, and
when we pass away they remain
strong and have character. In all
things a healthy body, and a
healthy mind are necessary. Father
Healy believes that there has been
too much emphasis on “Sports qua
Sports” rather than Sports for
physical education. He commended
highly those who take up the
teaching profession and compared
them to Chirst who was always
giving.
The Treasurer’s report was
made by Mr. John Cutliff. Mar
shall Eddie Bouvette announced a
total of 145 men received Holy
Communion and 101 had breakfast.
Guests were introduced. Mrs.
W. Paul Carpenter and Miss Sarah
Carpenter the Mother, and sister
of Paul Carpenter are literature
chairmans. Mrs. Thelma Pauljn,
wife of Lee Paulin, our publicity
chairman was present and Mr.
Charles Moran.
j The meeting was closed with
1 prayer. t
