Then framed in the dusk of the doorway was the tall, lean, white clad figure of His Holiness Pius XII. Wave upon wave of exul- tant acclaim rolled over the crowd, beat against the walls of the great horseshoe and echoed back. The Holy Father raised his hands for silence, and then in a clear, strong voice, vi- brant with feeling, he spoke felicita- tions to his children on their liberation through the providence of God and the Blessed Virgin. Each time he paused for a breath the people cheered wildly. When he had finished speaking he gave the Apostolic Blessing and turned to leave. The throng implored, "Papa, Pa- pa"! He came back three times, his hands raised in benediction.

With a "zeal which was sort of a prayer he gave himself to the study of Sacred Scriptures and of the Fathers and Saints of the Church. His writings are a proof of his knowledge of St. Thomas, St. Augustine, St. John Crysostom, St. John of the Cross, St. Theresa and St. Francis de Sales, whom he quotes from memory and with absolute fidelity to the text. He perfected himself in Latin and Greek so that he could speak and write them with ease and elegance. Knowing the importance of Hebrew for exegetical work he studied it with ardor and rapid success. In a short time he became familiar with French, Spanish and English. The histcry of the missionary activities of the Jesuits in China taught him what prestige and advantages the scientific missioner could secure with that people; and so Felix completes his vast education with the methodic study of the physical and natural sciences of geography, medicine, music, mathematics and astronomy. The success that Felix had, in acquiring an erudition so vast 'and in matters so diverse is explained by his remarkable natural talents and the virtuous use he made of them. He: was one of those men who read a book and never forgot its contents. His penetration of mind and sound maturity of judgment made learning rapid and easy, and yet thorough and accurate. The one factor against Felix was his poor health. Due to his delicate physical constitution and tche cold damp atmosphere of Piacenza he suffered from frequent headaches and spells of weakness. The soul of the future apostle to America was under the same special care and development As his mind. The science of the saints consists in charity;' but charity, the queen of virtues, has her handmaids whom she uses to manifest, to guard, to adorn, and to facilitate her good works.

The De Andrein Page Three THE COMMUNITY INCHINA UNDER JAPANESE INVASION Among the many news reports we hear and read, there is occasional mention of the Japanese campaign in South China. Many of the names of towns and cities are unfamiliar and we do not give the matter any further thought, unless, perhaps, there is mention that an American airfield was captured. To the family of St. Vin- cent, however, the present offensive is of great importance and interest. On the accompanying map you will notice a line in the Japanese-occupied territory running from Hankow on the north, through Changsha, south to and beyond Kweilin. This is the railroad that the Japanese captured last year after much hard fighting. There is another line running from Henyang, about the center of the map, southeast to Canton. This is the railroad that the Japanese recently captured, pnd of which the Chinese now claim to have retaken twelve miles. East of this railroad the Japanese, in their present drive, have captured the towns of Suichwan and Kanhsien, near which American airfields were situated. Also taken is the ill-fated town of Sinchang, which was captured nine days after a landing field large enough to accommodate B-29s was completed there. At present the Japanese seem almost to have attain- ed the two ends they had in view for this drive to the south, the elimination of the American airfields and the JAPANESE ACTIVITY IN SOUTHEASTERN CHINA capture of the Canton-Henyang railroad.

The De Andrein Page Three WORK OF MIRACULOUS MEDAL NOVENA BAND Christ Through Mary More than two hundred years ago Blessed Grignion de Montfort envis- ioned the time when men would live in Christ wholly through Mary. He urged devotion to her as the way of tranquil security. Half a century earlier a newborn congregation of missioners was being formed in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul. One of his paramount con- cerns was that all his family might be enthusiastically in love with our Blessed Mother. Their exhortations to the faithful might then be expected to bear more fruit than mere rhetoric. Today people of good will are seeking God unreservedly. Beside themselves with terror, participating in the chaos of the time, they look for a short, secure way to renent- ance. New must that vision of Bless- ed Grignion be made to come true.

Donnelly, Auxil- iary Bishop of St. Louis, read the epis- tle of the Mass in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus he turned towards the ordinands and the congregation while the Archdeacon announced in a loud voice: "Let those who are to take Priest's Orders come forward: Charles Welter, Clarence Bogetto, Raymond White, Henry Piacitelli, Dimond Ryan, Alvin Burroughs, Thomas WeVner, Anthony Falanga, Warren Dicharry." Their day has come! Each steps forward as his name is called and answers: "I am here." The Bishop asks the Archdeacon: "Do you know them to be worthy?" The Archdeacon replies: "So far as human frailty allows me to know, I do both know and attest that they are worthy of this office. Having thanked God the Bishop ex- horts the nine Deacons to receive the office of Priesthood worthily and to SUBDIACONATE fulfill its duties blamelessly.
