Victory

786 IMPROVEMENT EH \ the Roman Catholics of the world today, and what the Sorbonne was in the Middle Ages. Side by side, in friendly competition with the state schools, the Church schools should do their work, seeking ever to be in the lead in the search for truth and in the training of leaders. The state must ever care for the mass, but the Church must go further and develop the exceptional in- dividual, the man in whom slumbers the energy which is to kindle thousands. Logan, Utah

Victory

God gave us victory! We bless the day. But what is victory? Brothers, pause and pray That this which in our lap is flung May be no albatross around us hung.

God gave us victory! But do we lust To prostitute, debauch, Trailing in the dust This high reward, ennobling power? Aye, tremble lest we smirch the luminous hour.

God gave us victory, And victory knows Nothing of greed or hate, Murderous strife or blows: In her fair train, Justice and Right Have barred the gates 'gainst Selfishness and Might.

God gave us victory! Ours is the trust, And unto all mankind, Brothers, be ye just. Let naught of self intrude or mar; Our mercy and our help, come, shower afar. God gave us victory! He armed the right, That gray and murky gloom, Dappling into light, Should flood with glory all the earth And to a new-found brotherhood give birth. God gave us victory! With duty plain, Let not our petty strifes Make sacrifices vain; But open wide the doors to Hope and Peace, A haven where earth's weary find surcease. Lloyd Woodruff.
