 Part of Father Clabby's address follows: My Dear Graduates:
 Eleven years have come and gone, since I, in company with a little group of interested spectators. watched the proceedings incidental with the turning of the first spade full of earth for the erection of the new church of St Peters and Paul's parish.
 Education for this life only is not in keeping with the mind of Christ. The church educates for time and for enternity. Though ever mind full of the preparation necessary to fit her children for earthly success. the echo of Christ's admonition is constantly ringing in her ears, and she prepares us also for the life to come. Looking down from the lofty eminence of the centuries, the church surveys the amending per- permanence of the glories and hon. ors of nations and individuals, and realizes better than all others. the truth of her Divine Founders words. What doth 1t profit a man if he gain the whole world. and suffer the loss of his own soul?"
 Your Catholic school education my dear graduates, has prepared you to be valued members of so- ciety. and faithful members of Gods church. You have learned the lessons of love for God, loyalty to your church and undying allc- glance to your country.
 Love of God, and obedience to his commands. naturally leads to love of your fellowman, and above all to love of your parents. Love of God means playing square and treating others as you desire to be treated. It means love of father and mother, which will bring down upon you, the benediction of heav- en.
 Loyalty to your church has taught you to be ever ready to defend and never willing to offend, by word or action, that divine institution which today in the midst of the worlds passing activities, carries on the work of the onetime Babe of Beth 1ehem, and the dying Christ of Calvary.
 Loyalty to your church means an earnest endeavor to bring the light of Christ's teachings, into the lives of others by word and example, es- pecially by example, since actions speak louder than words.
 Allegiance to your country, has
