dangers which beset Its path. And
never before inthe nations history have
so many and so difficult prob
lens grappled at its throat, as these
latter years of the 18th century have
witnessed. Following upon the war
with Spain came the sudden uprising
Of a new proposition in the Philippines.
In the south the race troubles have now
reached a climax; and the smOuldering
fires of a monetary conflict are being
famed to renewed life in the west.
From within and without are arising
dangers which the efforts of master
minds can alone avert. But foremost
among these problems is the economic
question dealing with the combination
OF capital in production and trade. The
influence of these combinations or
trusts has extended to almost every
conceivable industry.
A trust is an arrangement by which
shareholders in competing concerns
place their stock in common board of
trustees, receiving in return certificates
which give them a right to the earning
of the property, but not to the voting
power which the stock enjoys. The
board itself retains this power. The
purpose of the trust is to control the
product Of some article of merchandise
and TO crush out all competition in that
line. 1t dictates terms not only to
those who buy the product. but also to
those who sell the raw material and to

Venerable Divine Reviews His Early Days
at Holy Cross College.

Following the able address of the

his degree of B. 4.
He spoke of the stirring time of tie

Cross the powers she sought. He sta

tive of all the men of the days way

We extend a welcome to the governor

sary to speak of Bishop Healy. You all
know him. He has continental and
European reputation"
His excellency, Gov. Roger Wolcott,
after having been introduced, came fora
ward and said in part:
TT must be a dull heart and a slow
brain that would fail to be moved by
the beautiful scene that stretches before
my eyes. 1t is perfect day. The
friends of Holy Cross have come once
more to see the spectacle of a number
of young men about to go out into the
larger life from the halls of this insti-
tuition.
There is a pathos in the many gradu-
atoms that this month has seen. But
the years of preparation, the happy,
perhaps careless, college days come to
a close, and the nobler, the larger life
begins / say nobler, because boyhood
and schoOlhood is not one of achieve
ment, but of preparation. When he
bids farewell to his alma mater, not
then does he receive the prize; it lies
beyond in the larger life and fellowship
of the world.
1--WE have listened to the words Of
the valedictorian. This occasion is my
valedictory. I have had the pleasure for
three or four successive years of adj
! dressing this audience, and each tims
! carried away a pleasant memory of the
! occasion.
! Here, as in other colleges, patriotism
is not forgotten l was glad to see that
| the salutatorian took as his subject
! America, the parent of liberty" Be-
! lieve me, friends the nation today has
| in it's veins the same red blood, in its
arm the same might, in its brain the
same high purpose that our fathers had,
a nation based on equality. I believe
| that the golden age still lies before us;
| perhaps unseen, perhaps far off in the
mists of the coming centuries; but still
the golden age of humanity has not
been left behind but rather will be the
prize of a perfect humanity. Let us
look forward not backward. Let us
hold strong our faith in God, in man
| and in the destiny of the nation.
Il have learned nothing else since
have held office. l have learned to be-
lieve in the American people. 1 have
learned to believe that virtue is more
common than vice, that noble manhood
and womanhood has not died out from
US. 1 believe God has made the law Of
progress, not law of retrogression
and l urge you young men not to give
way to pessmism. Be courageous, bt
hopeful. Believe in the destiny of Am
erica, believe in the purpose of AL
mighty God, believe with all hope in the
future"

upon love of Gcd, the Catholic college
earnestly bends all her energies to the
making of the student a practical man
of religion. The Catholic college claims
this right Of aiding the youth in pro-
viding himself with the light of faith.
Every action, every tendency, every as
piration of his whole college course is
directed to this end.
In matters purely intellectual the
Catholic college is none the less care
full. During the past century Jhis truth
has apparently been forgotten by some.
In their eagerness to develop to the
full the one and lesser part Of man s
dual nature, the other and greater
part has been neglected. "Sacularlze
the schools" is the cry today, and it
is woeful to note that this cry is being
needed. France has banshed religion
from her schools and she is reaping a
terrible whirlwind. The prisons and re-
formatories are full to overflowmg and
conditions rapidly growing worse. Hap
PLY this stage has not been reached
in this country, but it is not impossible
that it may. Education must nave as
it's ultimate principle the truth of
Christ. This may be a social aspect OF
the question rather than an ntellec-
tual one, but in this connection they
are identical.
oh, as men of the world, the Cath
| Ole college men have a mighty feel
/ for their education. Questions in the
social life press them on every side.
/ There is the question of the trust, the
question of municipal government, the
| question of our paupers. The standard
/ Of religion must be applied to all of
| these and the standard Of morality is
| the standard of the ten command
! ments.
! AS citizens, the Catholic graduates
! have a tremendous responsibility. Each
/ one of them individually has duty III
/ the affairs of government. Too often
| the voter does not realize the import
! ance of that ballot, but he ought. II
! he will but look about him he must
! needs reflect. What does he find? Cor
! ruption of the foulest in every branch
! of politics. 1t is an unpleasant truth
but a truth nevertheless.
1t is not hard to find a remedy for
| all this. We must be honest and hon
| orable. Honest to God and the man,
| honest in private trust and public Of
| fee. No matter what is at stake, there
| is only one course of action. The line of
morality is as immutable as God.
A Catholic training will never pre-
vent a man from gaining success.
/ Greatness perhaps may not be his, but
greatness is not success. A Catholic,
he cannot follow ends unworthy,
| though profitable in the eyes of the
/ world, but he will lose nothing. The
! world of today, wicked though Il
! seems. needs men OF courage and
! when it finds them it win cherish
them. Let the Catholic college man en-
ter life with confidence and labor for
the good cause, for truth. justice ana
| freedom. And though all men should
/ bend the knee TO idols, let him trust
in God alone"
