the r eality of spirituality in human life .

Since the day that the great Pon­tiff made his utterance, more than a decade ago, the tru U1 of this analys is bas become more apparent.

W e hear every day of the "chal­lenge to authority" ; even of tha t a uthority which h elps us and pro­t ects socie t y.

Altogether too of t en we ha ve those unhappy evidences of the feeling of intole_r:ance of man aagainst man. Education is successfully teaching tha t the human race are all "bro­the rs under the skin"; members of the differ ent religions beliefs and creeds h a ve come to r ealize that they are serving the same God and a common cause, with ideals and objectives which are simi lar indeed; and that we are all the children of the same almighty Fathe r. Yes, my friends , religious intolerance is rapidly vanishing, especially in A­m erica, and let us send up our thanks to Heaven for that.

No one can protest justly against those clive rsions and entertain men ts that bring pleasure, so long as they are not carried to such an extrem e a.c:; to overshadow the rea l r espon­s ibilities of life.

Tho last fear suggested in that portion of the encyclical , f rom which I have quoted, is wor thy of our great concern.

Any people, that loses its sense ot the reality of spiri tuality in hu­man life, because of an excessive devotion to g ross materialism, is tending toward disaster. "As a man thinke th in his heart. so is b e"- Let us not, in our great desire for per­fe ction in letters and science, lose s ight of the importance of moral culture and ethical education and an appreciation of spiritual values.

To pre vent this latter clamity, re­lig ious org anizations and rehgiOU::i leaders and educators are ca ll ed to the colors.

In some nations , communis m hB..::I r eared its terrorizing head, and with unha ppy r esul ts. The product of the colleges that t each the word of God are strong allies against this danger in our country. The churches a r e founded upon be lief in God ; com munis m seeks to destroy tha t belief . '·The foo l has said in his heart, 'There is no God' ." This never will be the reaction of Ame r­ica, thanks to the cou rage and ser­vice of the churches of our country. To ward off s uch dangers as com­munism we rely on institutions which, li ke S t. Viator' s, have dedi­ca ted themselves to the task .

The appointment of new execu­tives to the presidencies of our leading universities and colleges a l­ways attracts great in te rest. I o Illinois our attention WM di r ected to the announcement at the com­mencement exercises held here las t June, corning from the very Rever­end Superior General of the Viator­!an, that Reverend Edward V.

H e entered this college as a fresh­man 18 years ago, and, during those intervening years has been associ­ated v.ith your s tudent body and the faculty.

Fortunate in acquiring one who meausures up to the exacting s tan­dards demands of those who g uide your destinies, St. Via tor may we ll congratulate itself upon the choice of its new president. I belie ve it can look forward into the years im­mediately ahead with a serene con · fidence tha t a t its helm there is a man tes ted and proved by academic attainment, well ex perienced jn th'=: rigorous demands of adminis trative office, and one who, reared in the faith of h1s church, holds s t eadfas t to the bes t of its traditions. Dr. Cardinal wi ll safeguard and ells-charge with distinction the high responsibiJjty which the presidency of St. Viator College imposes upon him.

At both the Ca tholi c Univers ity of America and the University of lllinois, your new president came in frequent contact with some of the finest minds in the fie ld of American hjstorical scholarshjp; a. t raining which was greatly enhanc­ed by the year wh ich he spent in research in European archives. Hi s preparation for both the Master· ~

and th.e Doctor's degrees has given to him a keen ins ight into t he cre­ative values of productive scholar­ship. That unders tanding wi ll guide the faculty over whi ch he now pre­sides. His occupation of the office of dean of the college, and vice­president, was dis tinguished by the tireless energy and the high de­gree of efficiency with which he ad­ministered those pos ts. His splendid record of past a chievements f con­struc tive work accomp lis hed- fore­casts the manner In which he wil l meet and cope with the tremendou ..:J duties of his new office.

The choice of Dr. Card ina l for pr esident of St. Viator by the S u p­e rior-General of his r elig ious com­munity, with Ute hearty approbation of his provincial, Is a tes timony of the h ig h regard in w hi ch th e church authorities hold him .

Cigarettes are made of mild, ripe tobaccos. We've told you about the p aper-that it's pure and burns right, without taste or odor.

We have said that Chesterfields are made right. The tobaccos are aged, then blended and cross-blended, and

cut into shreds the right width and length to smoke right.

These things are done to make what people want- a cigarette that's milder, a cigarette that tastes better -a cigarette that satisfies.
