to be understood by the average mind. He may without disadvantage be compared, as to his pbil~sophical value, to Cardinal Zigliara. In a paper published by the Civilta Catholwa, the Rev. Liberatore, so competent in such matters, writes; "No, t.he book of the illustrious professor of Chamberry (now Bishop Rosset) does not contain a poor and miserable philosophy as do the trivial works produced within an unwholesome atmosphere, and bearing the marks of their author's medionrity. As a proof take either of the two volumes of the work and you shall readily discover the philosophical riches therein contained. They are exposed in all truth; everything is treated with clearness, order, and profoundness, in these two volumes which are wholly substance and solidity without any ost.entation. As a class text-book it is a perfect work" . ... We shall not add anything to this competent judgement.
P.
ADDRESS
OF FAREWELL DELIVERED BY
MR. GLENN PARK OF THE GRADUATING CLASS 0~' '86 .
Rev. Sirs, Ladi('.S and Gentlemen:-Already the exercises of t.his, our Annual Com
mencement, are drawing to a close. The bright pageant upon which our eyes now rest will soon fade from our view, and, ere anotb.er hour has pas&ed, nothing will be found around this, vur college home, to indicate the life and joy which once reigned within it-the crowcled hall deserted, the noisy room and corridor left vaeant and the dreary echo of perhaps a single foostup alone breaking the solemn silence. To us students who have witnessed the long year with its heavy burdens of study and confinement drag slowly by nnd who now behold spread out before us and almost within our grasp the pleasures of a free and happy vacat.ion; but who at the same time feel twined around our hearts the tendri!s which fall from those old gray walls clinging to us, as it were, and striving to hold us yet longer within their loving embrace, to us the occasion ·suggests a thousand conflicting thoughts which, mingling together like sunshine and rain, form in our souls a counterpart of the bright arch of heaven. As the child in its early years naturally looks forward with anxiety to the time when it will be a man and will be able to enjoy life to its fullest measure; in like manner have we looked forwaru to this day, as the opening into a world o£ new delights, new pleasures, which, like music in the distancn, charmed our young listening ears and stirred up within our buoyant hearts fond hopes and bright expectations.
The more it approached the stronger grew its influence and the brighter grew those visionary scenes
which it suggested; so that, a t the present moment, you wrongly estimate our joy when you jnJge it is confined to this hall , however beautiful, or to tbose companions, schoolmates, however dear. Oh no ! A lthough this home is bright and a.ttracti ve, fancy sees one compared with which the glory and splendor that our eyes here behold, grows pale. Although these eompan.ion,; of our college life are dear to us, inJ eed, anJ riveted to our hearts with the surest ties of friendship, our wandering imagination perceives face.; and homes a thous:LUL1 tim~, dearer than they. Yonder is the fo nd motherwaiting and watching her boy's r eturn. Already , with tears of joy glist~n ing in her eyes, she stretches forth her arms to embrace t.he idol of her affections, the hope of her declining years. There too stands the fa ther joyJul and happy. Brothers and sisters cluster around. T!Je old home! The blessed fu·eside! Oh consecrated spot ! Yes, there our young fancies fly. There already are our hearts. Soon, but not too soon, will this bright Jream be realized. Even now we stand at the door which opens into those blissful scenes-Yet, at the same time, we stand upon the threshold o£ our college home. Ere we bir.l welcome to the world and i ts delights, to parents and friends, we must t ear ourselves from the embrace of this good foster-mother, this dear Alma })htor. Turning to her with reverent tenderness, we feel perceptibly the ties of love which bind us to her; we fe el the delicate threads which she has wound aroun d our hearts, threads as pure and as holy as ever a mother's fnndness wea ves. Turning to her at this solemn moment, when about to part from her, perhaps forever , the splendor in which she is clothed grow.; brigll ter, ller beauty more fascinating, her charms more magical and ou~· love for her deeper a n.d stronger. Oil sweet Alma Mater, mother of our 'llappiest days, Lily vc ne raiJ! C
form to us is dear. Thy olJ walls to us arc shw wt1l:!L1 with a beauty and a glory upon which our eyes woull: feign linger longer. Around them are clustered a tllousand fond bri ght memories which will eve r remain (l ecply engraven in our souls-memories which, like stars, will shine ..... .. . .. "in the sky of our spirits forever fond and over our pathway will Jlasb afar, a ralli
ance that perishes never." Those sacred precincts , those halls and corridors, .
those beloved companions with wht'm we swdied, playeel and prayed, fond associat~s in whom 1'1-e have nlways found a brother's love and tenderness, a llrotbcr's warm affection; those dear superiors, parents witl1 pnrents' heart, how can we leave their sweet embrace, :tn<l how, when gone, can their memory be ever dimme-d in our souls? Oh ! we go; bnt in the shadow of these walls, in those vacant empty rooms om spiri t shall remnin, lwvering about them, like the falll crl l':1iry whi ch ,vas sni<l

COLLEGE JOU L. 91
will pend the present year with u and gether with those among our new arrivals a good nine et\11 be formed.
A little apology for the defeats in Chicago last J une and July wiU not be out of place. I t might be known t.bat but few of our players took part in either of the games. Mr. Ullivan our l•ack top was missing in the first game and Mr. ~ 1eGavick our old reliable on 1st. did not play in the second game; and Messrs. Legris, Park, Cusack and 0' eil played in neither, and instead ufit being t. Viateur's College nine it was a Picked ~m.
At the present outlook hunting will be excellent this fall and Winter. Our sporstmen are now shining up and cleaning tht:ir kit, preparatory to scouring the woods between here and the neighboring cities. " J acko" has a new boat on the river; launched some time during the vacation which w.ill be let at reasonable rates to hunting parties.
Progress is of this age: We have now brand JJeW from ~pnldiugs' store rooms, 3 sets of Indian clubs, 2 sets of dumb-hells, quoits, foot-ball, baoeballs, etc., etc. Further g,v mna tic appliances, p..·u·allel bars, rings, turning poles, etc., nre in way of preparation and Bt·o. Gallagher, ot the Holy Name School, Chicago, P rof. of gymnastics, promises to come in a short t ime to assist us in makeing a uitable dispos ition of these in our halls.
Wedncsda.y last a Tery exciting game of base-ball was played between two picked np nines, j ust at the end of the 9th. iuning the game was tied and had to be suspenderl, dinner Leing in order. A fter the repast another, the rlecisivt>, inning was pbyed anrl the Victors won it and the bushel of apples that Fr. Marsile had set up.
While this g11me was tossing on the mnin diamond three other games of ball a ; spirited were going on in diflereot parts of the campus, npples being also there aujeu.
'!he score is ns fvllows:

LABOR. " IT N ECESSITY AND IMPORTANCE" .
To people living in this century of steam and electricity, when manual and intellectual skill are everywhere exert ing their energies to the utmost, there may seem little need to speak of the importance and nect::&lity of labor, or of the wonders which labor accomplishes. B ut as there still are many , especially among thH young, who look upon ment-al or bodily exertion as something unnatural, something to be avoided; who see in labor nothing but a curse, a heavy burden disgracing those who bear it, as there are yet, practically speaking at least, many of those professional doers-of-nothing, these few lines may not be entirely out of place.
Labor is natural to man. When God created us, he cre..'l.teu us with faculties of action, with pow ers of self development and self improvement. As uredly it was not his intention that we should be mere idlers or doers of nothing. W e have a destiny to work out,~ perfection to acquire, an end to attain, and these things cannot, anrl never could be d one without exertion, without labor . .1\lnn, therefore even though be had never sinned, would still have had to work ; labor is his natural portion, God created him for it; formed and fa hioned him for it. However much his fa ll may have embittered it, or robbed it of its sweetness, t he fact still remains that by nature we are laborers. And why should it be other"' il;r.? I& man of all created things to be the only exception in that regard? Look around you, glance even at inanimate nature. Everywhere is everything working , working out its own appointed destiny. The earth by turning on its axis, and by it.'3 yearly revolution ronnd .the sun, supplies us with heat and light, and all the varied ble sings which the different seasons bring. The sun, tb'e planets and starry bust h:.we each its appointed task, each its own pvrtion of labor.

The regular meetings of the society will be held as usual after St. Viateur's Day.
It was propooed by some member and seems the sentiment of the society to have the rules of the constitution and the by-law:~ printed for the accommodation of all concerned. As a great deal of the success and good tone of the society depends upon the observance of society rules it would be desirable that all werefamiliar with them. The Moderator was requested to select a committee who will investigate and take proper steps for the execution of the projel't. The officers of the Society are the acting committee. There being no further business adjourment was moved and carried.

OBITUARY.
It is our very sad duty in this· the first issue of the Journal to announce tbe death of our former classmate, Eugene A. Dory. Although he was with 'us but for a short time, we remember him as a pious, well applied student, and a model companion. At the time of his · death he was a little over fiftPen years of age, and had been an invalid for some ten months previous. Death came to him on the evening of September 12. We cannot but recall those beautiful words of our director, spoken at the death of our little fnend Willie Reaume: "As a gardener in selecting a beautiful bouquet pluck!l the fairest and most fragrant flowers first, so the purest and most innocent souls are first chosen from the great garden of the world by our God to adorn heaven." We present the family with our most sincere condolences.

A SILVER JUBILEE.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF ARDUOUS LABOR
IN THE MINISTRY.
The ordinary calm that rests about the village of Bourbonnais, was ruffled last Wednesday by . an event of unusual gaiety. The twenty-fifth anniversary of Father Beaudoin's ordination to priesthood was the occasion which sumnwned his many fri ends to these silent groves. The arrival of invited guests and the serenade by the gentlemen of the village band in the evening, presaged a day that was to be made joyous and gladsome on the morrow. As such it proved to be. The weather was all that could be desired and though a week day, which means a Jay of labor, farmers left.their work in the field, the villagers their business in town, to share in the feast's proceedings.
Long before the stated time the ' parishioners gathered around the church which was well decorated in the interior, to attend solflmn High M:ass. At the appointed hour the holy sacrifice was offered up in thanksgiving by Father Beaudoin, with Fathers Chouinard and Goulet as deacon and subdeacon. Contributing much to the solemnity of this ceremony, wll.ll the good singing from the choir accompanied by the organ and orchestra under the able leadership of Mr. Therien, who was kindly assisted by Father Mainville, Father Rivard, a silvery- voiced tenor of the congregation of St. Viateur, and Brother Main~ille, a violinist of no inferior order.
In the course of the service Rev. Father Poulin, a venerable priest and one ofthose who, twenty-five years ago, imposed hand~ on the newly annointed of God, paid in feeling terms a fitting tribute to him in whose name we were assemble<;]. The reverend gentleman reviewed briefly the life of the present pastor of Bourbonnais since the latter's elevation to sacerdotal dignity, and captivated his hearers' attention when reach · ing the present scenes of his life and works.
"The great achievements," he said, . "which have crowned his incessant efforts, speak to you eloquently in testimony to the fact that his has been the character . of the true priest who is another Chdst on earth; and could it not be said that the important institutions of this favored parish, which have been reared by his untiring zeal and energy, are the fair blossoms of th~J.t
mustard seed of faith which he planted 'mid toil ·and care and many times watered with his tea·rs:" After setting .forth the many motives which should incite us
