PnrNcE AND SolDERs-The God Of Peace of whom, VIC
the ministers, is also the God of Armies That Is why
our place the place of religion is marked out in this
like(se There has always been religion In combats
With the Jewish people il God who directed battle
who formed the great captains and who inspired the
prophets with the most warlihe accents The Romans
placed their gods by the SIDE OF their eagles at the head
| Of their lSgonS.
Constantine achieved hs greatest victories under the
standard OF the Cross Our most valiant knights before
proceeding 70 Eight against the infje had them elve,
aud their arms blessed by the Church ID not speak of
the flag OF the old monarchy which kings went to
ceye from the hands of religion at tbs altar of St Denis
before their wuEc expeditions; the remembrance OF that
| will naturally occur TO every MUD
Astonishing circumstance The Church, which
breaches peace to ahe Church whose holy army only
knows how to shed its own blood and has even horror
OF that OF the enemythe Church has always had album
dant benedctionS Tor the soldier for his and for bis
| standards
The explanation of this mystery not difficult and it
is the whole meaning of this great soemnity at once
| military and religious
Peace is the design Of God 1t il the object towards
which human societies proceed when they follow, in their
regular course the principles Of Justice and inspirations
from high War is only legitimate on condition of
its securing peace Armies in the hands of God
the powerful Instruments ofpacicaon and public order
Right requires force to make itself respected but in
its turn strength requires right to remain itself in the
proydentia order Peace is therefore always the object
necessary one from the effect of the passions which
| agitate the world
That is why God has approved of t-that Is why the
prophets apply to it the words sacfcaie Jem-that il
why the church has for it words Of bcnedicon
enlargement and almost of ove-and why in the
past the soldier and the priest hold out their hands to
each other
The soldier and the priest both placed under the aus
tere laws of discipline having ut heart the principles
Of conducta love OF duty above all things and the spirit
of devotedness to the sacrifice of his itework to-
gether though differently to procure. by calming down
the passions the triumph of justice in human society
What glorious services to the of public peace
day TO bend ts head before the Majesty high Whence
comes 1t that those murmurs which heard in the
bowels Of France and OF Europe suddenly husled'
Why are the mcnaces Of civil and of anarchy which
threw society into CONSERVATION, disarmed Who has
arrested this work Of dissolution which making such
rapid progrcss 1t is firm and resolute will supported
hand by the national voice which forms his right
and ON the other by an inyncbe army which forms his
strength.
And hail to you glorious standards symbols of so
many victories Our pontifca heart which has
ceased TO beat with the strongest feelings Of patriotism
moved ut again scang you Their glory caces from
eyes the former msfortunes Of the country.
Prince! whom the will Of great people has placed
at the head of its desnes understand what these
heroic signs must say to your heart
We rely your WISDOM it will protect you from the
and order Fatigued with disorder she wishes repose
under the shelter of strong and tutelary government
Continue to lead her in the pacific path which she has
entered and she be able to deveope all the elements
OF strength and of prosperity concealed within her fruit
fu bosom.
The moral interests of a country are superior to her
material They the soul and the heart of great
people, without which they must decline and fall. BE
you always their defender The religion which you love
asks neither privileges favor from you only asks
of to always preserve to ii what the Emperor
uncle restored to It in the pamy days Of his glory-l-
berty live and to do good You will gain by it the graft
tde OF the people the only glory perhaps that great
mind can now be ambitious of.
Prince look less ut the past than at the future Peace
may be spoken of when possessed of such valiant ar
mics. Your eagles will have vast field Of flight from
the heights of the Atlas to those of the Alps and the
Pyrenees Providence destnes you for great and holy
work Remember that. in order to build the temple,
God preferred Solomon to David Continue to rebuild i'll

glorious sword OF France.
You have comprehended that, in an epoch when nst
utions tend 10 become more impregnated with the
spirit of the Gospel the social edihce cannot be well
ctmcntcd as by love and clcmency.
