"Out of the crucible of this war, he said. have already come results which are having a far- reaching influence for good in our national llfe- the uniting of our people in a common cause, the search for the Christian founda- tions upon which our national life is built, the awakening from our lethargy and indifference to spirit- ual values, the recognition of the place that religion and morality must hold in life and the realiza- tion of the important role and function of education in shaping and remodelling society along the rousvlv Christian lines."

High pontifical mas: was cele- brated by Bishop James Morrison of Antigonlsh. Bishop P. E. Pray of Saint John, N. B.. presided at the evening sessions.

Represented at the conference are st, Dunstnnls University. Char- lottetown; Mount St. Vnceuts College, Halifax; St. Mary's Col- lege, Halifax; St. Thomas College, Chiitham. N. B.. and St. Francis Xav’er University here.
