An un- usually large graduating class re- ceived its diplomas from the hands of our Bishop. At the conclusion (IIJ'[ the pro- grem His Excellency offe,ed con- gratulations to the graduates and parents, and then paid his tribute to the splendid staff of St. Augus- tine educators. He said in part: "Besides the recognized credits of St. Augustine High School the graduates are bless~d with two outstanding endowments, spiritual strength and moral uprightness, faith and &"ood works. Once the light of faith is extinguished and no light appears shining in the darkness there is no port to make for. These young men take with them the shining skield of St. Augu~tine's SOl!J• L red - blooded Amencans as typified by the gold star heroes of this institution. In the aoodemic honors awarded them this afternoon they witness- ed, that there is no conflict be- tween faith and science because the two move along in parallel lines and both have God for their author. Materialists have nothing to offer the gradue.te because the materialist is narrowed down to the outer edge of the only world he knows. It is not·a belief which flatters the pride of ma;.n; it gives him neither a respectable origin nor an honorable ending. It leaves man to take his standards from G. plan anywhere between the tad- pole and the philosopher. It leaves him to sink or swim in the end- less combin•ations of chemical changes. The man with no re- ligion is like a plane without a pilot. The man with a false re- ligion is like he mariner who ignores e North Star and fol- lows the '8tar ln his mind's eye." - ,
