evil to prevent a greater evil.''
He then developed his idea of authority
by considering it-S tunetions,

Society Looks To Us
It is not given to all to have the advantages of a college
education. In normal times in our history only a very
small percentage of the nation's women were enrolled in
institutions of higher learning. That percentage has fallen
even further today. lndeed, with defense jobs and military
organizations calling fot· recruits. it is rather exceptional
for A womnn to pnoo tht·ough four comploto yonrs of col
lege training.
To these few, then, has been given a gt·eat privilege.
They have received much-what are they giving back to
society?
A college woman should be distinguishable from all
others. Her culture should radiate from her very appearance.
Her impeccable dress: her ease in the presence of
all; her poise; her ability to talk about things, great and
small; her sharing the interests of those not so fortunate
as sbe yet all activated by her charming ot·iginality-these
nre the telling characteristics of a college woman. She
must be ready to assume leadership in her community;
and, most important of all, she must never judge herself
to be above the group. Young women who have received
all that society can offer in the form of higher education
ha,·e often been accused of being unwilling to enter into
activities and assume leadership of any kind.
Girls, let's show society that this is a give-and-take
business. We have received much from it, let's give more
back. Let us prove to society that we wet·e wot·thy of the
favors we received and prove it by fiCtive pat·ticipation in
in the world nbout us. Let us be wi lling to share with others
that which we have received. Let's be leaders-good ones
--and never climb into our own egocentric cocoon.

St. Joseph
God leaves no one without a friend-and so Mary
had hers. This marvelous position for one of God's creatures
was filled by St. Joseph. What dignity, what purity,
goodness, prudence and obedience he must have had to be
selected as a suitable companion to the Mother of Jesus
Cht·isl.
St Joseph wa~ her earthly spouse, with the title of
husband; but by a wonderful anomaly he was also Guard·
ian of her Virginity. As the spouse of the Virgin Mary, he
was constantly thrown into circumstances that called for
lhe exercise of faith and blind trust in God. A look into
the first chapter of St. Matthew tells the story of his doubts
and hosit<>tions on tho jom·ncy to Bethlehem and the Right
into Egypt which demanded the virtues of faith nnd hope
in order to dispel.
But it was not only dul"ing her lifetime on cat·th that
St. J oseph was Mary's guardian. he has continued to defend
her honor ever since in the life of the Church. Since
he wishes to benefit souls, he leads them in devotion to
Mary. And who should be able to do this more perfectlysince
he was the first to be filled with this devotion? He
was the first to know of the dignity bestowed on Mary
when the angel said to him: "Joseph, son of David, fear
nol to take unto thee Mary, thy wife-for that which is
conceived in het· is of the Holy Ghost."
Thus God revealed to Joseph the fact of Mnt·y's divine
Motherhood and there sprang up in bim a devotion to the
Maiden of Nazareth which has lighted the world. To nour.
ish and propagate this devotion is the duty of the Catholic
Church: but in discharging this duty she is nobly assisted
by St. Joseph.
Ireland's Patron Saint
Yesterday we cclebt·ated the feast of St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland. But, somehow, the memory of St.
Patrick seems to have degenerated into his driving the
snakes out of Ireland and "the wearin' of the green" on
March 17. It might be well for us to recall that he is not a
mere legend but a real person, who lived and died, as we
must. for Christ.
Contrary to populat" belief, St. Patrick was not Irish.
He was born in Britain about the year 385, when paganism
was the accepted re ligion of the Celts. At 16, he was sold
as a slave to an Irish master. And, by means of the suffer·
ings and privations he endured, Patrick was brought to
prayer and to a love of God.
About 407, he escaped from slavery in Ireland and
spent the next seven years of his life on the continent,
where he became a monk. Years later, Patrick, then a
bishop, sailed for Ireland. drawn by the knowledge that
the conversion of this pagan people to the tt·ue God would
become one of the bl"ightcst stars in the crown of Holy
Mother the Church.
On the little island, Patrick worked unceasingly to
destt·oy wizardry, to leach and baptize the people, and to
l'Slablish churches and monasteries.
About the year 461. this zealous missionary went to

Winter is one of the finest seasons
of the year. The best thing
about it is that it's always so cold
