This "is" a strange world. for. in a period of transition everything is strange and topsy ttirvy.

The terrible catclysm through which we are pas-lug at the pre- sent. mcment is but the r-ulmltuifng crisis that was inevitably to re- sult from the pagan mcral, social and political theories that have shaped and directed iTITillll events fcr the past hundred years,

There will be a new world order after this conflict but what is new is not necessarily better.

It is this chnngnu world which soely needs enlghtencd direct-ton. if i-he new order is to be a better one, that is beckoning to you now my dear young men. but. before you go "these few precepts in thy memory keep."

You have a soul to save. F0" that vou were born: for that you came into the world. You came from God and vou weze meant in no back to God.

Finis ultfmus. Deus.

In your going back bane you are not called to lead the life of the hermit but vou must lake your pace in organized human szciety which is. in its ramifications. dom- estic and civil which latter expands to national and international. You have also your God-given mem- bership in it religious society, the Church of Chiist.

By bapt-lwn you were incorporat- ed into the mystical body of Chr'st: "I am the vine; you are: the brances."

What has happened to the world is that those who sought and now seek to guide the destinies of man here below in his domestic and czvil life have not. poured upcn the world the christian charity and love of God fiom the abundance of their own hearts but rather, the dirty backwash from corrupt and pagan hearts. As the old Chinese pravcrb has it “you can't carve rctten wood". and you can't. carve a lotion lead- ership and a rotten citizenship into the foundation 0f a. new and cristlan social order. “To thine own self be trite". siild Pcloniur. of 01d.

This has been the unHe-lymg principle of your education here ct. St. Ditnstahls and notwithstanding your classical degree, if you have not learned that lessen you are not really educated.

And now these balmy diiys are over. You have not. of‘ course. com- pleted your education. Each of vou has yet to make a choice of his vocation. The ground work has been well laid; on it you must build the future. I hope that some of you will be called to the Prest- hood; some of you I know will en- ter whnt are called the learned pro- fessions but all 0f you. as educated

We talk loosely now cf a. “newt . qd b i; _ order". but so dce= Hitler and so | m the ‘w! a o“ you

The new order of the world of which so many speak so glibly has been expressed by Japan as “elbow room in the East." by Germany as “breathing space for her millions nd release from economic strangu- lation"; by Italy as "a. place in the sun." and by Russia RS "universal athelstlc communism." For the com- mon man it means a new economic‘ order or system.

We must not decry the legitimate national aspirations of any People. but. on the other hand. We mil-Si’- X10‘- aliow the exaggerated nationalism of any people or peoples to trample us underfoot. We must admit and accept as inevitable a new econom- ls system after this war but that does not mean that we must stflnd idly by and let ungodly men im- plant the system under the direc- tion of Stalin.

The great mistake after the last war was the implementing of the fallacy that a nation with millions of people, with centuries of history with its culture and its aspirations could be slowly strangled and con- demned to lingering death. ‘The terrible events of today show now what history could have shown years ago. Let us hope that such 8 terrible mistake will not occur after this present conflict.

In the past century s. great change was takln place in the so- cial and econom c life of many countries. An industrial revolution as n result of rapid advance in the fields obsclence and mechanical inventions‘ with its consequent ad- vancement and acceleration of world trade and commerce was ex- plicited for unjust personal gain and caused, in the course of ears. a concentration of the vitealt oi countries in the hands of a few people. we began then to have what we have now in full measure. pov- erty and want in the midst of plenty.

Authoritative Message

[in authoritative messsse 0! warning to lite world as to the conse uences of all this was issued just fity years ago by Pope Leo XIII. This is the fiftieth anniver- sary of the famous enc clicai on the condition oi labor ca led "Return Novarum‘ and I am haDPY thli the present distinguished occasion

l

priute. In that great social

ory pointed out the false princi- ples‘ of morality underminng Christian civilization, by causing social injustice and the engender- ing 0f class hatred, and he warned of their dread consequences in the days to come. He clearly defined the (I rLsttai-i code of social ethics, the r ghts and duties of employer and employee and the Christian manner of adjustment of their differences. Unfortunately his words fell upon deaf or unheeding and indifferent ears. Ten years ago, on the fortieth anniversary of Rel-um Novarttm, Pope Pius XI of glorious memory issued ihe famous ency- cllcal on the restoration of the so- cial order "Quadragesimo Annoy t The world gave it a better hearing but it was too late to stem the t‘de. These two documents embodying , the principles of Christian morality‘ .translrtted into Christian sociology

faith and our freedom.

Our own house needed much cleaning up. We had no resolution. thank God. but insidious forces of evil were and are still at work. We have a concentration of wealth in the hands of itzo few; we have socai injustice with poverty in the midst of plenty; we have oilpresson of the poor and class hiitreds; in other words we have the fertile fields for some new coined “ism? The Russian solution of atheistlc communism ls continually if insid- iously, belii pressed upon sections of our peope and we must realize that if enlightened leadership can- not suppl the remedy in the light. of Christ an principles of morality and socloloRy. then some one else will come in and solve our prob- lems for us in the light of other princlpres.

New Social Order

The primary units subject to st- tack in the development of this new social order have been the dig- nity of human personality and tne home or domestic society. The ex- planation of the system gradually encompasses other liclds until the whole social structure is enveloped. If you can take from man vls per- sonallty as a creature with God-l given faculties to be honestly de- veloped, and an immortal soul cap- able of knowing. loving, and serv- ing its God in this world and des- tined to see and enjoy i-llm in the next. and turn him into a 60g in a social machine. tlren ou have the primary individual uni. of a prison society. His purely secular education without a thought of God but founded solely nil state utilitarian- ism will logically follow. His serf- dom in the service of the state will be a natural consequence. and you wllbhave. an immoral system of eusenics to foist upon him if the "lntelligencia" think him unfit. and a convenient euthanasia to liqui-

If there is no stable hottir lifc then the state will take over the units of the family, the children, and train them as members of the state only, That ‘s the plan; that is how it works.

But what is ire antidote? Whv remind you of things that others have already taught you? It is s"'mpl_v because the only tiring that can save the world is ttttellisrctt‘ Christian leadership.
