Baccalaurcate Sermon.
Rev. Charles +. Ratio Of st.
Charles church. Louisville. KY. de-
livered the baccalaureate sermon at
the University of Notre Dame in
our Lady Of the Sacred Heart chapel
sunday morning. The solemn pom
tihcal high mass was sung by Rt
i,ev. Peter j. Muldoon, bishop of
Rockford. ILL.,. assisted by the priests
Of Holy Cross at the university.
The speaker opened his sermon by
explaining the nature of man and
his relations 10 his fellow man. IN
speaking OF the university the
preacher said in part:
This great and renowned Uni
versity of Notre Dame takes its place
among the most celebrated educa-
tional institutions in the world
equips the mind and tempers the
hearts OF those under her care
Young men, YOU upon whose brow
the laurel wreath Of graduation is
about to be placed-yOu are the
chosen sons of 1916 You have been
prepared. fo~ your purpose in life
Sail out with confidence Of success.
Labor Today for Tomorrow.
ITO succeed is not to be gazing
continually at the hill top of success.
Interest yourself chiefly i'm the pro-
gress to it. The now -is-yours-to-be
is yet ahead of you The future be-
longs TO God. Labor today. faith
fully and diligently. it will help YOU
for the morrow. No man has ever
reached prominence in his profess
sion without assiduous and constant
labOr-without difficulties TO over
come either within or without him.
self Want of virtue and sobriety
is the chief inner abstacle 20 ad-
vancement, and the treacherous Sc
ducer which leads the way from God
and success. The mind which is not
purely and soberly clean and healthy
Will exercise its influence on mans
whole being This moral combat
must be fought and won The grace
of God ad the sacraments are weap-
ons irresistible With their use YOU
Will give no quarters to these vices.
You will rain deadly batteries
against their stronghold. you will
triumph over them. You will lead
your own captivity captive You will
be a Caesar unto yourself.
Must Expect Opposition.
Opposition will be your portion.
Without it your strength and vigor
would never be known. Honest op-
position arOuses our latent and hid
den energies. forces us To meet a fair
and competent antagonist with care
and consideration, excites our dor
mant faculties 10 vigorous action.
An unfair and malicious opposition
treated with manly courtesy dies of
its own hamilton. Whatever your
opposition. be generous withal and
let charity which 'Thinketh no evil.
envieth not beareth. believeth. hop
eth. and endureth all things' be the
crowning grace of all you do.
Courage Needed
Let not your heart be troubled.
nor let it be afraid, are the encour-
aging words in today's gospel. In a
word. fear not. The same Holy
Spirit who thrilled the hearts and
enlightened the intellects of the
chosen ones of Christ. hovers over
MS within these sacred walls. May
he thrill your hearts and enlighten
your intellects that you, the chosen
ones. may GO forth bravely and
couraEeousIy 10 do the work allotted
10 YOU by the vocation under the
direction of the same spirit. Fear
not Hide not your talent. Increase

knowledge and allow il not 10 remain
dormant and unproductive Be

their life'S mission. not among those

versity with the highest honors.
