Bishop O'Hem's last message to
the Sodalitics was one of praise
and encouragement. He congratu­lated
the officers and members of
the Sodality Union upon their
splendid work in behalf of Catho­lic
Action, commenting on the
appropriatcness of Mothers' Day

"when we praise the work
of the Sodality." He expressed
the wish that a Sodality be
established in every Parish in the
Diocese; and that these Sodalities
be affiliated with the Prima Pri­maria

his blessing to the 1.000 young
women present, he cited the need
and the reward of always loving
and honoring the Mother of God,
our heavenly Mother and our own
Mother, our earthly Mother.

"God's Wonder

Speaks
Book,
The annual Symposium of the
College Council of the Student
Sodality Conference was held this
year in April and May. Six dele­gates
from Catholic Colleges of
western New York, Pcnnsy!van:a,
and Ontario spoke at Erie, Tor­onto,
Niagara Falls, Ontario,
Niagara, N. Y., Rochester, and
Buffalo.
The symposium had as its
theme "The Romance of the Holy
Mass." The chairman, Mr. Albert
Abendroth, Canisius, introduced
the speakers: Miss Jean Summers
of Mercyhurst, whose topic was
" From Catacombs to Cathedrals,"
Mr. Richard C. Marker, St. Bona­venture,
who spoke on "The
Priesthood of the Laity"; Miss
Madeline T. Silber of D'Youville,
who discussed "Priest Hiding_
Holes in English Manor"; Mr.
Francis A. Donnelly, Niagara, who
asked and answered the question :
"What Is He Doing at the Altar!"
Mi$!! Elizabeth Griffin of Nazareth,
who spoke on "God's Wonder
Book, the Mi$!!al"; and Mr. Simon
Nash, Canisius, who discu$!!ed
"The Mystery of Faith."
All of the speakers were excel­lent.
We were particularly proud
of our own delegate, Betty Griffin,
who spoke with perfect clearness
and with that certainty which
comes only after much prepara-tion.
.
We can give to thc Symposium
only the highest praise. The elo­quence
and ability of the dele_
gates, their forcefulness and their
splendid presentation of their
ideas will, we a r e , sure, give an
added impetus to Catholic Action
everywhere. With such youth as
this, how quickly mUlt we realize
that the Church can never fail,
that the Church is unconquerable,
and we can only echo the words
of Owen F rancis Dudley: "The
Church of God marches on !"

The passing of Bishop O'Hern comes as a great shock to students
of Nazareth. We who have experienced so fortunately the never­failing
beneficence of our beloved spiritual father mourn his untimely
death with profound sorrow.
OUT bishop's death is felt acutely among people of all creeds and
denominations with whom his wide range of activities, religious and
civic, brought him into contact. The beautiful tributes which have
been paid his memory by those who came within reach of his Christ­like
influence bear testimony to the high esteem, reverence and
love with which he was everywhere regarded.
Bishop O'Hern was the devoted friend and patron .of Nazareth,
as Monsignor O'Hern and in his larger capacity as bishop of the
diocese. The deep interest and kindly solicitude which he always
manifested for our welfare endeared him to us all. His true priestly
character, his indefatigable zeal which expended itself in mighty
efforts to uphold the standards of the Church by Curthering the
cause of Christian education. fosteri ng religious vocations, assisting
the Sodality movement-activities all of which touch us very closely,
the supreme nobility -uf his life and teachings. will live on in our
memories. to be our consolation and inspiration.

Tells of Experiences
In Korean Posts
Describes Difficulties
Encountered
Assembly on Tuesday, May 16,
gave t he Student body of the
College a delightful opportunity
to cast aside the anxiety arosed
by the approach of Examination
Week. Father Patrick Cleary,
who has recently returned from
Korea, where he has been for ten
years. to Rochester, told us about
his life since 1923 when he was
ordained and given his obedience
for Korea by his superior at Mary­noll.
In spite of the many vivid ac_
counts of life as a missionary in
the Orient which he had heard
as a seminarian, Father Cleary
said. that he found much to sur­prise
him when he reached the
mission field one Saturday after­noon.
To know the missions one
must live there so he found Orien­tal
customs strange ; the language
was unintelligible to him; and a
thorough appreciation of the an­cient
beauty and culture of the
Orient waa not as yet his.
On Sunday morning the loud
clanging of many church bells
announced the beginning of his
first day in Korea. These were
the bells of the Protestant
Churches which occupy with their
hospitals and schools, one-seventh
of the city. So strong is their in­fluence
that the section is called
American Town by the Korenns.
In 1929 Father Cleary volun­tee,'
ed to take over a new parish
in the northern aection, The
people had never beard of the
Catholic Church and it was diffi­cult
to convince them that it was
not a Protestant sect, the only
item of Christianity of which they
knew. Although throughout the
two years that Father Cleary was
there the visits to his country sta-

Vacation
Summer'$ mellow days stretch out before us, a
verdant vista of opportunity. Vacation time it is,
when days blu r into weeks, weeks fade into months,
and September advances to reclaim us.
Some of us will retreat joyously to familiar vaca­tioning
grounds, a fortunate few will join t he sparse
ranks of bread-winners, but most of us will 1011
about 'chez nous' snatehing up occasional pleasure
excursions and concomitantly indulging in profitable
forays on the libraries in preparation for 1I(!xt
term's classes.
Vacation is like a period of fallow: into the soul
and mind and body . flow soothing, recuperating,
strengthening, uplifting and enriching elements.
The question of how this leisure time shall be em­ployed
is an individual responsibllity, the decision
a test of character. Shall we waste these God­given
days? Oh rather let us follow Dana Burnett's
counsel and
"Ga/he,' all the 81,mme,~s sweet,
Hush of heaven, SOllg of stl'eet,
S/m'e that dance on eilver feet!"
With mingled joy and sadness we await the close
of another school year. The prospect of exams
which now looms up so threateningly before us fills
us with no small amount of aplll·ehension. We ask
ourselv('s anxiously: "Have J accomplish('d all I set
out to do this year?" Unfortunately, we are forced
to admit that many of our good intentions have gone
the way of all good things.
Vacation is the pleasant part of our glimpse into
the near future, After the exciting activities of
Commencement week we look forward to settling
down and catching up on some of that much-needed
rest. We are already beginning to formulate plans
for the summer,_plans that have no kinship with
textbooks snd notebooks. Enchanting visions of
summer days are before OUr minds,- blue of the
lake and of the sky, winding roads that allure and
beckom, the beauties of seashore and mountains.
For those of us who leave our Alma Mater this
year with the parchment which betokens academic
success, the future seems a bit uncertain. Feted
versity of life," as they are often told, prepared
'l'HE GLEANER
and advised, the seniors go forth "into the uni­to
meet prosperity or adversity. The great light
of faith which burns within them, and which their
years of training in this institution under wise
Christian teachers have endeavored to nourish, will
illumine whatever pathway they choos('. They will
a lways listen to the Divine Voice of Chl'ist, their
Greatest Teacher, guiding them through lif('.
We say goodbye to the seniors regretfully. The
happy days of companionship we have Sj)(!nt with
them hold treasured places in our memory. Our
good wishes go with them as we bid them an affec.
tionate 'vale',
At the close of this academic year we thank God
for having watehed over us and kept us in His
grace during these months of school. We renew
the dedication of our lives to Him. And so we
depart from Nazareth, some of us finally, some to
return again in a few months. But we are al! con­fident
of t hat futuN! which we have entrusted to the
protecting Hands of our Father.
About "Verity Fair"
We, the j)(!l'sonnel of the Nazareth College Quar_
terly, Verity Fair, wish to announce that there will
be no third issue this year.
As you know the publication of this literary maga_
zine was established for the first time by the Class
of 1933. It was agreed in November, 1932, that
there would be three editions of Vel'ity Fail' under
their management. But serious conditions have
arisen, ~cute financial difficulties principally, to­gether
wtth the inauguration of semi-comprehensive
examinations for the Seniors, and the stress of
time, which make it totally unwise to attempt to edit
the stipulated number of magazines. Sister Teresa
Marie, the Dean of Na'l,Sreth Coll('ge, has weighed
the matter carefully and ht'IB stated that the best
possible BOlution to the emergency is to forego an­other
issue.
. It is our earne.st desire that you, the subscribers,
~lll c,?-operate With us in this unforeseen crisis, The
I1IcomlOg staff have consulred with us in the matter
and have promised to send all the present subscrib:
ers the first number of V61'ity Fair in October, 1933,
free of charge, so that arrangement ought to prove
St'Itisfactory as far as the subscriptions are con­c('
rned:
It was our purpose to present Nazareth College
with a pu.blication of which it can be justly proud,
and we slOcerely hope that we have succeeded in
accomplishing our objective in ou r initial products,
Again, we thank Sister TeN!St'I Marie, the Dean
for her solicitude and her timely advice and under:
standing; Sister Margaret Teresa, the Faculty ad­vise:,
for her untiring effort, and invaluable sug_
gesttons; the readers of Verity Fair for their kind
support, and th(' students of the College for their
generous response.

THE COLLEGE
CRITIC
"The Tatler"
College of New Rochelle,
New Rochelle, N. Y.
Dr . William Lyon Phelp3 ad­dressed
the student body on New
Rochelle on April 5. During his
talk on " Modern Books and
Authors," Dr. Phelps says: "The
Literature of England is superior
to that of America because it has
that which America lacks-tradi·
tion and the background of a long
civilization."
He continued with the state·
ment that America is superior in
it!! women writers, and mentioned
that there are eight great Ameri_
can women writers living today.
This number includes Willa Cat­her"
Edith Wharton, Edna Fer_
ber, Zona Gale, 'Pearl Buck, Doro­thy
Canfield, and Ellen Glasgow.
In speaking of Willa Cather,
Dr. Phelps pointed out that her
first books were brilliantly writ­ten,
but missed the greatness of
her later efforts--because they
were filled with a fain t irony and
pessimism, "Death Comes for the
Archbishop," was the turning
point in her career, he main­tained;
for then she began to
write with a sympathetic under­standing,
a profound and con­summate
skill,
Later, referring to Sinclair
Lewis, Dr. Phelps expressed this
sentiment, "It would be a fine
thing, for 1'111 Americans to read
Sinclair Lewis's books; but it is to
be regretted that Europeans judge
us by what he writes, He ex­pressed
the hope that some day
Mr. Lewis will write Ii great novel,
which will not be a satirical cari_
cature, portraying exaggerated
types.

We, Rochesterians, who have
recently experienced a veritable
deluge, would never have thought
to look upon rain in this artistic
spirit :
"A fine, steady rain is nature's
magician. It has more than the
mystery of being one of nature's
cycles. It is the artist of natural
phenomena par excellence in
transforming senSt'ltion experience
with a greater_than_Houdini skill.

Bernard Hubbard, S.J., was here
in St. Michael last March, like all
the tourieu paMing through thia
far~~u s old town, he wanted to pay
a vrsrt to our old chief and his wife,
the oldest Eskimo on the coast of
Bering Sea. No sooner had he leen
them and spoken to them than he
was moved by thei r' great simp[ic.

bition was to take their pieture.
When he bade tbem good·bye and
thanked them, Father Hubbard
promised that they would get a
copy of their picture as IIOOn as
the ice was gone. They looked at
Father and in their simple way
answered: "When the ice is gone
we will be gone, too." And they
were right. During the epidemic

followed, I went to see them. Both

"The Koreans," said Father
Cleary," are waiting for Christi·

must be supported because they
are too poor to care for them." We
were also begged to remember
that no matter what the Ameri·

we are reaping the benefits. In

Father Cleary left us with a
much greater apprecilltion of

Idea of the work to be done on
