FR. ERNEST HOERDEMANN, SVD THE CAROLINIAN t i l PEARLS BEFORE SWINE Next to the thunderous arrival of the atom bomb, the most revolutionary thing that happened to our modern world was man's discovery of what he endearingly terms his inalienable, personal or constitutional rights, in one breath-liberty. Seldom has man stumbled upon as wonderful an idea and few ideas were as easy to die for. In his defense and devotion to his new-found rights, man has moved heaven and earth, fought his worst wars, knocked a lot of ci·owned heads off arrogant shoulders, but best of all, he opened a new horizon bright with hope for all mankind. Indeed, if we have to sum up in one word modern man's intensest ob.~essions it will be freedom. When he finally took hold of freedom by the tail, one of mankirKl:s finest and slam-ban.qest stories was told. The only trouble was that emancipated man didn't know where to stop, he kept demanding for more and more freedorn like a drunk for another and another shot. Soon things get hazier and freedom takes on a broader but mistier meaning. The itch becomes sharper and more recurrent, setting him on flimsiest pretexts to yelling for freedom, by which he means letting him alone or enjoying life at the expense of another. He wants a freedom that is bankrupt of purpose and-a freedom that has nothing to do with responsibilities, law, justice, truth, or morality. He gets to thinking of freedom as peanuts in the streets-something one can buy a dime a dozen. Thw false concept of liberty has fired the imagination of the peasants in Central Luzon. It is also freedom that they are fighting for-their own peculiar brand of freedom with a strong Russian flavor in it. They fell for a treacherous teachin,q that whoever works on the land, owns it. The fallacy w comparable only to its original-the Marxist Utopia where evenJ man is king, every woman a queen and eventually everybody wears a chain around the neck instead of a crown on the head. In like manner when the unscrupulous writer raises the howl for more press liberties, more often than not, he is merely clamoring for the right to throw dirt in somebody's face and enjoy the fun- In the same frame of mind, a government official interprets public trust and democratic processes as the right to shine the seats of hw pants and pick the pocket of the government. The mistake of course lies in that modern man confuses liberty with license. Politicians and newsmen very often mistake f1·eedorn for tolerance with untruth, while criminals believe that to be free is to be independent from laws. Dictators and their fans-who now abound in this country-are under the impression that theu are the 1:;ource of freedom, hence have the power to give it away or take it back· Nothin,q can be farther from truth. Freedom fa rooted in the spirit of man. It was there before King John set his •tamv on the Ma,qna Carta or before Jefferson drafted the Bill of Right.,, It rose ~t of man's nature, not out of pieces of °paper, because nobody gave freedom to anybndu but God. Yet libert11 cannot stand alone by itself. It must lean on a purpose, aim at a final and thrive on responsibility because liberty is not the right to do whatever you please: but what you ought to do. We have bought it with dear price; a million lives were laid down in holocaust liefore the altars of liberty. But thw freedom can be wrested away from our hands M surely as it can be crushed within our own fingers. Unless we put a stop to this betrayal of liberty, and roll back the forces that seek to prostitute the true concept of freedom, we can no more be free than the inmates of Bilibid Prison. Page S. Page 6 It was mostly by miracle of fervent pl'ayers and sacrifices that the imposing Missionary Institution <li Steyl was established in an age of cynicism and apostacy. Its founder, the Servant of God Arnold Janssen, sought first to win the cooperation of a goodly number c.f his German fellow-citizens in favor ('If the great "ork of the Catholic missions. But it was the design of God that Janssen himself, against anything he could have ever foru· seen, was to be singled out as instrument in the founding of the Society of the Divine Word, and to be the driving spirit of the splendid missionary moveni.ent which he - or rather God through himbrought about in Germany. The Society of the Divine Word came into existence and flourished by dint of love nnd the silent labor of a great r..any, whom God alone knows - nnd rew::.rds. Arnold Janssen descended from a !'implc devout Catholic family of Goch, in the Lower Rhine. A - profound piety and a deep sense of work had been for renturie"I lhc great virtues practised in the home of the .Jnnsscns. His parents were cc1•t:ifnlr models of simplicity and of tl1c .l?f:'•.d dcl customs of n plain, unpretentiou!'. upri~htn('~S. Arnold was the second of the tc.>n chil<lren with which God h8.d blessed that home. November 5th, 183:'. is his hirthda~·. THE CAROLINIAIN Venerable Arnold Jansse11: God's Stalwart and SVD Foander What the parents strove to lay down ai< a basic foundation both by theit· words and their deeds, brought forth in thii. C"hild the most cherished fruits. The care and solicitous attention of the genuinelr Catholic family had fortifielJ 1md prcrarcd Arnold for the gigantir. undertaking to which Divine Provide11c:i was to rnll him later, An unselfish priest enabled him to pur~ue his studies, After finistii!IZ succe~s fully his Gymnasium in 1855, Arnold dedicated himself for nine semeateri to shdying Philosophy, Milthematie.1, 8.nd Ntttural Sciences. He began his higher stu· ches in Munster and eontinue1l them in nr.nn, where in the end he acq•J:1·ed the ])('st school-certificate. But. in 1859, he was enabled to' follow h i:1 most ardent desire, namely, tu be acln,ittcd into the Seminary for priests. Our fortunate seminarian was el<•\•:Jtl'::I to the Holy Priesthood on August l!'i, 18'31. Short!~· after thnt. he bcc.1me prof~s sor and co-rector of the Gymnasium at RC"cholt. There, in spite of the much W<"rk he already had, he still u1cforco::.K lhe propagation and direction of thi: Apostleship of Prayer in the dil'c~se .... r Munster. He devoted himself to this ·.,..01·k :n such a manner that he showed his zeal fur the re-union of all Christi.i.n<l, eve:i those bey0nd the boundaries of ni'i homediocese. It was precisely in this t'ndenour tl•at his gifted dispositions found the bes~ ct•urse of development for •1is future world-embracing apostolic activiti"°s. Aside from his intensive work in con· r.ection with the mh•sionl!I at h.:>1'10, tl1i!J zealous priest found Ways and •nean, b husy himself assiduou9ly with tl-1J fo. reign missions. He hurled himself inti') the gigantic bsk of winning the pa,,.t1n world for Christ. He got in contnet "·!th missionaries, and al!'o sent· ,l1hstnn~ial gifts tf') Catholic missions. To h!s fric.>nds nnd fellow-priests he ·would d~piJrc that the Germon elerit~· was payinq . s~ant atkntion to the mis!lion-irlca, tha~ the Gt-r· nan Catholics were far behind in their C'lopcration in the great task of riroJJBJ!afin~ the Faith. In order to be able to dedieat.! himself more thoroughly to his work for the mis· sions, Arnold Janssen resigned his pro. f<•ssorship and ac~epted the dire~forsl1!p of the Ursuline nuns in Kempen. Then;'.!eforth he devoted himself to the service d the Catholic Missions with a steadfastness of purpose and with a courage that eoulcl have done credit to the strongest cf men. He immediately set about .to publl~h "The T.itt!C Messeniter of the Sacred H\!ar!;", t'r.us laying the foundation of '(\·lu1.t wn~ 1£.ter on to develop into the great Missbn Press of the Society of the Divine Word. This humble magazine WD.l'I wholly and solely dcriic&tcd to the task of e'.'lnvertinl(' the heathen in pagan lands. However, it ~lso wag principally directed towards the "rlarintr" idea of foundin1t I\ German Mission Institute, which thus far had been lacking in Germany. _This task of rr·i:raniz8tion fell, for the most part. on / >-riolcl Janssen. This modest and young prf!'!st would r.l'vc:r have drc.>amt thnt he pel'soimlly wu c.>\•entunly to become the fourlder of this Institute. Dnt from ~the moment Monnig,ncr Raimondi,· Mission .

THE CAROLINIAIN Page 7 SYD Founder Re11. Pr. ARNOLD JilNSSE.'.V A study of the biography of great men discloses that they have climbed ltl'eat l1eights ov.er thorny paths, strewn with difficulties. This was particularly true of Arnold Janssen. He was no exception to this general rule. The extraordinary success achieved by Amold Janssen in all his undertakings, may be considered as the crowning of his heroic grappling with adveraariea and adveraitles , The thirty years from the founding .;,f the Society until the time of his death were for Janssen years of labours and :;·ri<ils, of trials and deceptions, of continued suffering. Thet"i! was a world oi handicaps which beset him, threaten· ing to thwart nnd fru:;t1·11.te i:im in Hie attainment of his hirh purposes. But he. converted all the liabilities of handicaps i;;to assets of spiritual achievement. He O id not face them in a rebeltlous or self. pitylnr manner, but calmly, realistically and courareously. In the midst of them all he remained undisturbed, hi:r faith in God unshaken. He transformed all those trials, deci!ptions and sorrows into u wellspring of power and a flywheel of ae~vity . He considered crosses and sufferimts as something very natural for such nn ente1•prise, m1y, he even considered them as irnmething necessary. To a friend \·,ho triecl to console him, he replied sig1.ificantly, "Be silent! God anJ souls well 1!<'servc that we should sacrifice e• E!rytbng for them."

Here are the latest tips on the brand-new method of face-lifting that will turn a face only mothers can love, into one mothers won't love. Ladies, are you pug-nosed, buck-toothed, or one-eared? Do your faces abound in miniature foxholes? Or do you admit, just for the. sake of argument of cou1·se, that you are hopelessly ugly! Then, before deciding to end it all thru suicidal designs read this highly informative t1·eatise on beauty culture made available to )'OU only after a prolonged deliberat!on on the part of the author of the merits and demerits of making a Lana Turner out of every female under the sun. This recommended course, calculated to make overnight Hedy Lamarrs of every female is the happy result of the mammoth and voluminous research into beauty enhancement which has been undt'I'· tsken h~· the Society for the Prevention (,f Fui·ther Sufferin~ to the Husbands of l"•gly Wives. To get the full benefit of this course Y(IU do not need the optimum and pa· ticncc of Pascual Racuyal, that perpetual Philippine presidential prospect. All that is required of ~·ou is a face - or, for that matter, what resembles a race - to be improved upon, and two liteute eyes for rending the instl'Uctions lone eye will de.) The first step, which has been popularized through the kind cooperation of Hollywood, is getting a few crates o.t Pond's face cream and dubbing it on your face, or on what, as I mentioned before, lo all intents and pur1Joses is a face, ;1 thin layer of this, say about two inch2s thin. A shade thicker would be a notch over the bounds of modesty, However, :r you 're a woman who is the habit of being f> equently slapped, you may put on an udded inch of cream to se1·~·e the double purpose of beauty agent and shock-absorber, that is, slap.absorber. Thus w.:i see that the face cream can be used not or1ly for amour but also for armour. Af· ter the face cream has been cemented in. <') pla<·e. sn·cr;1] 'nchcs of face powdl'r - just about enough to choke an averagesi2ed hippopotamus - should be patted c;- top of the face cream. This completes the second step. And now on the third, secure a few kilos of lipstick and spread same on your kvely (?) lips. Five generous coatinga \/ill suffice. If you are one of the priv1kged few who are hare-lipped', you may, sc. to spenk, bridge the gap with an adequate amount of sticklip, I mean lipstick. Caution in this phase of the course is v~ ry important since lipstick when used i?I e)..eess of your absolute requirement will make ~·ou look like Geronimo ori the war p~ith. (Apologies to Geronimo.) Now we come· to the hair. There are l>(VC'ral different ways of beautifying the hair but the most spectacularly sueees!!Ofu\ one is outlined here.

GILLIS THE CAROLINIAN Page 9 • Our Firmament 11111 New Star ID ' BYE. B ALLF.R He will go down in ow· history as the first Filipino Archbishop of Manila but among Carolinians he will always be remembered as the good and generous father who made San Carlos the great school it is now. There hardly is anybody who had given more for San Carlos than His Grace. It can be said that his first love as archbishop of Cebu is the University of San Carlos as safely as one could say that USC is among his greatest achievements as Prelate of Cebu. . . The 24th of March 1892 -will be written down in the annals of the Catholic Philippine in golden letters. It is the day when the •·New Star" guiding us in our religious firmament was born in Kalibo, Capiz of the respected family of Eulogio Reyes and Maria Marte1ino. And the 12th of September 1949 marks the day when our guiding star added luster to his brilliance upon his elevation as Archbishop of Manila succeeding the. late Archbishop Michael O'Doherty. His Grace, Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes is 'a pride of Catholic Philippines, and an honor and inspiration to Filipino priests. His meteoric rise within the period of thirty four years since his ordination as a minister of Goct on March 27, 1915 is an achievement unparalIelled in our religious history. To enumerate the important milestones in his life the story has to begin with a simple barrio priest whn be raised to the great heights by the sheer medt o~ intelligence, ability, driving force, zeal, good judgment and solid piety. His Grace became a parish priest a little after his ordination until .July 20, 1920, when he was appointed chancellor and secretary to the then bishop of Jaro, Monsig. James P. McCloskey. In 1921, he was named parish priest of Sta. Barba;a, Iloilo. without giving up his post of chancellor-secretarj. Iu 1927, he was chosen vicar-general of Jaro and 1ctainin:.;· his parish at Sta. Barbara. Cebu was favored with the benevolence and the r<:>ligfous leadership of His Giace when he was consecrat cd Bishop of Cebu on Oct. 11. 1932. About two years late1·, on April 28, 1934, with the elevation of the Cebu diocese into an archdiocese, His Grace was simultaneous!:: promoted as Archbishop of the same. The signal honor.<> of being the last bishop of Cebu and the filst Archbishop of the same goes to H.is Grace, Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes. And about less than a month before the fifteenth anniversary of his episcopacy, our guiCing star shone brighte1 although higher with the announcement made by the Apostolic Delegate to the Philippines, Mgr. Egidio Vagnozzi that His Holiness, Pope Pius XII had appointed His Grace, Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes as Co-Adjutor of Manila with full powers of a residential bishop and the right of succession to late Archbishop Michael J. O'Doherty who wa.:i then critically ill. And later, he became archbishop of Manila upon Mgr. O'Doherty's death. His Grace, Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes, has alHis Grace Archbishop GABRIEL M.

I was a student librarian then, you know. I saw h{r approach the counter, he8l·d her ask for a pencil to borrow. Coming u;.i to her, I offered her mine. "I hate you" She exploded in my face, My face fell, and dumbfounded, I S<lllk into disappointment having entirely frl'gotten the case of the note I wrote in short hand in class, which I gave t,o cne of our girls there.

Knowing short-hand, Nena ,,,.as able to decipher who wrote it. All this I entirely forgot. "But why do you hate me?" I asked. ''Have I done anything wrong!" "I hate )ou!" was all she could say. I left my work, followed her to her tr.hie. I felt she was ill at case. "Please, Nena, what is it? What is the matter? What have done?" No answel'. She didn't speak nor move. Anita, her sister, was watching us furtively, sensing that perhaps sQmcthing wa~ afoQt, Syddenly, Nena slammed the book she had been reading and left us. She ran c•ut .o:( the library. "Why don't you go after her, Carlos?" Anita suggested. Taking the cue, I went out to catch up with Nena. She saw me approach, so that she hurried her steps, and practically flew Oownstairs. I followed her down, through the corr:dor, and into the garden. Nobody was in sight. It was about fnul' c'clock in the afternoon and everybody was either in the Library or in the Coop. The trees looked on and the grass !"eemed greener than usual. There w11s t"lppressive · tranquility in the air.

TOBES "Will you tell me why you wrote that note to me?" I was struck dumb. by those words. It was as if the earth yawned and gulped rr.e, body and all. Now I realize what a fool I was. I can now see myself standing there in front of her, shaking· like a h.af, not knowing what to answer, I can now surmise how vapid my stare must have been, how doltish Bild inane I muat have seemed. And all the time heaven was at my side, waitinl!.' for me to open its doors. and enter. But I stood there agape and ar.d discomfited, without knoWing that J could have made myself n1aster not only cf the situation but also of 'her affection. Those words keep echoing In my cars now, haunting me like an accusing finger out of the past. Now she is married. Married to another man. Still I can hear to think how a littl~ knowledge of human nautre could have meant a happier ending to my story, how D little courage could have won the day. Now I reafo:e the nec<"ssity of grasping every OJJportunity that comes along, of opening every bud and sipping every cup of life. "Will you tell me why, right now?" I st::immered, [ groped for an answer. It was the note that was behind all the At a Loss for Worcls A lovelorn sailor decided to celebra1e the day by ~ending a wireless to his l!'irl in Duluth.

Her voice sternly demanded, why, but her eyes pleaded with me with infinite tenderness. But what did I do? I war. a fool. Young, fresh and undiscerning, utterly unacquainted with lhe subtleties in life. I stood before her, confused rattled, tl'embling, as I never before. Cold sweat slood on my brow and in a hoarse voice I croaked: "Tomorrow. I will tell you all about it tomorrow, ha?" The world must have flagged from under her feet and the heavens must have c1·ashed down on her for I actually saw i>er close her eyes in what seemed to me a gesture of utter dissapolntment. She reached for a rose at her side, crushed it in her palm and flung it in my face .... I could not see her the next day. She was nowhere to be found. That night I w1ote her a letter pouring into it all the tl:nderest emotions I could muster, telling J.er of my dreams, of how empty life would be without her, of how t>nduring my love would be. No answer came from her. ln the meantime my heart was eating itself away, leaving a dull, gnawing void that would not be filled, I did sec her again after that but she ~id not seem so responsive nor sensitive then. She merely looked past me, if she looked at all. I wrote her again. Her answer was curt and to the point. "Finis," I thought. I read and reread it till my eyes smarted, and saw no way out of it: it was a closed affair. ''I am sorry that [ can not fall in love with you. I am still too young and studying. Do not write to me anymore." And so with those words that blasted my hopes I turned my gaze away, my heart heavy with grief and patn. Failure and defeat is the lot of the "eak of heart. Cheatecl!

By sheer number of teams competing thi,; "lournament of champions" should be a super-colossal spectacle. But it has to be better than anything ever staged here in Cebu if it is to surpass last year's championship in the senior division when tM mighty San Carlos Golden Warriors, by the proverbial skin of their teeth, lost the crown to the powerful Southwestern Comn1andos in the final game. And because of that I had to eat my hat and had to part with my beloved crystal bait. Besides, my c<>nscience got the beter of me after hearing that poor Madame Robinson was quite hysterical about the mysterious disappearance of her crystal ball. To think that she S(llemnly announced, on.fe upon a time, that the guy hiding behind those glasses (I wear them so that I can see these butterflies 1r.ore candidly and in glorious technicolor!) was destined to sit on the presidential chair (>i the Republic of the Philippines instead of the one-legged stool I am used to! Man, oh! man, was she glad to have it back! As expected, the "leading" basketball dopesters of Cebu are tr_-ying to out.do each other in picking the winners. A dopester, hr the way, is a frustrated non-gypsy fortune teller, who, for the price of a bowl on ;inything under-and over-the sun. As usual and very much like the big dope that T hrme T am not, here I am with my forecasts, which according to my friend Angel Anden, nre more inconsistent than any woman, living or dead! The defending champions, the SWC commandos, a heavy favorite to repeat this year, looks like a sure winner. While it has JJractically suffered no loss of manpower it has even been strengthened by a few wh'> have graduated from the juniors. The Cortes-Alcudia-Jaen-Pardifian combination can rtally go to town and it will take a whale of f' team to stop them. Dadoc Cortes, Cebu's foremost pivot man and one of the country's greatest court generals, has shown little l>igns of wearing off in spite of his long ~·cars in active competition. Should he be barred from playing in the 11erles (his participation is UJ'ider protest) this miJ;:ht break up the fast-breaking play which the Commandos dish out and may mean curtains for their hope of repeatinrr tliis rear.

Although aware of the mul·h-va11nted fprocity of the USP Pant•wrs and the grt>at improvement of the !'<dmidans, I ~till bald that the USC Warriors, 1946 National Intercollegiate Champs, will be up there in the thick of the fight. This rather sounds like an overtJose of plain, unadulterated optimism considering that of last year's team only a handful have r<'mained. The rest have found the call of Manila simply irresistible. Funny how some athletes, after being developed, for;.et their alma mater and seek greenei• pastures .... ! The current USC squad is almost new ail over with a sprinkling of a few battlelcsted and combat and serviceable veterans. Smooth-playing and sharp.shooting Erot Estrera tight-guarding Paquit Borromeo and play-boy, slippery Celing Val1nayor, all veterans of national competitkns and members of the champion '46 warriors, will bear the brunt of making the Warriors click. And should they click like a well-oiled machine there is no saying what they can not do. Sim~on Alvarez, a pre-war Carolinian varsitarian, has donned his uniform again and how well he rl!co•n red could mean victory for San Carlos. Intramural graduates, Monang Zoss, soccer goalie turned cage forward, Jesus Ma. Cui, Jr. and Ricardo Reyes, may prove their worth and may even be overn;ght sensations like Cui last year. And there are those juniors who will make their debut in the senior rank like Rud-., J akosalem and Eddie Tabura. Graciano Mabatid. who has been playing quite weJI, may click, who knows? Just how well the Warriors can fight with these young upstarts is anybody's guess. But there is the San Carlos esprit de corps which must be beaten first. A team is as good only as its coach. New basketball mentor, Joe Puhek, doesn't care for lip homage. But the way he is driving the Warriors in practise and pre.season games can mean no less than that he bas bis eyes on the crown. His secret play, a c<..mplete departure from conventional basketball, may yet win back the title that the Warriors lost in 1947. With the loss of Mumar, Cui, Gonzaga and the disqualification of skipper Infing Cortes (no degrees holders can play) it is no wonder why San Carlos is an underdog. But Truman wh.i incidentally was not given a china-man's chance made a lot of Americans eat their hats and look very silly by winning the presidency, wi,!h Dewey, a heavy favorite and sure-winner, a poor second. The Warriors may do it a la-Truman! The $64 questions remains: who will occupy the cold, dark cellar? The boys from Lahug and the Colegio de San Jose Five are very heavy f~vorites to fight it nut to the very glorious end for this much "uncoveted" honor!

(Author's note: What if the Philippines were suddenly like you or I-an individual opening his eyes to the criss-crosses of Fi~ipino existence in this part of the world? What could he say? This is_ purposed to be an oration piece.) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I have been dead many times. I died when I saw my people petted by the tlloody fingers of a foe four centuries and a score ago. Just when I was about to creep up from the wallows of incivility to the light of culture and civilized living, some foreign invaders came into my islands and usurpe•J Filipino.rule-over-Filipinos from the hands of my people who spoke the language of Freedom because freedom was the color of their blood. Ah, those years of embittered struggle. Those lives I lost. Those steel-hard souls who refused to assent to any other creed than that which their forefathers died to uphold. My people was a brave epople. But then I was frail as frailty is the nature of the young; so I closed my eyes like a loath~some coward. Yet, s.s I have always remflined at the mel'cy of time and ci1"cumstance, I saw a new dawn brenk through. A force came to niy shores and broke the chains that bound me. I was able to awake nnd ~hake of the lethargy that crippled my bP.ing anJ I lived again. I lived like an infant strugglinr: to ?. n'!'w breath of life. Above me I saw the resplendence of equality and freedom, tht' God-given seed that would grow and be nourished by a hungered people who will only survive upon that glory to offer to their children and their i;enerations yet unborn. Along the years happiness and progress shrilled in the air. I tasted no more of blood that once ch.:inged into crimson what- were verdant evergreens and moistened the dust of my valleys. I ~rose from thP By BEN PONCE cubbyholes of <Jefeat and tuggt;d on at the heels or a generous benefactor who tutored me in my youth and cleared ignorance from my eyes. But, as the principle of uncertainty is inherent in the existence of a nation,s') was I drifted into the aby!!IS of another greed--born incendiarism - more grim, more tragic •. "Fellow Orientals" they said they were, and when my peciple reached out to their attracting policy thy drew me into their treacherous embrace that I could smell the ugly stench of their dirty carcasses. They ravaged and plu~dered and brought what vile inhumanity this world knows of. I wept and wept until cowardice got the most of me and my eyes fell closed to blood and hunger and poverty. Like a lone figure in a corner of this earth, undefended and weak. I lifted UP-the picture 1,f a tattered warrior-head bowed low and eyes stared tearfully at the warm, red pool soaking my feet. But though my people lived like brutes in the wake of sub-human oppression, I saw them smile from tl1e dust and mire, a hope gleaming in their eyes. But that, too, has gone. Time has patterned for my peopl!! a newer phase of endeavor. That self-sufficing endeavor for the uplift of the staggering masses: the fight towards a happier living where the troublou~ air of societies are made pcan'· ful and efficient in their pursuits; the strife towards the establishment of a government of their own, strong, powerful, and democratic and ever-aware of the personal rights and liberties of its subjects. It could sound incredible that in such economic and political activity I still am woe-begone. Well, that I am. Endeavors' and fights and strifes - they do not imply succC?ss together with what they stand for. And, as things are now, thos!? idyllic ends which my people have endeavored and fought and striven for have still remained a dream_ Spo1•tfors for ROTC tov bra11s: Co1·a:on Sag11in, coi·ps; Cal'oli?1n Cuvada.

Su reciente promociOn a la sede aJ·zobtspal de Manila justifica el que tengamos un tantico de vanagloria, porque su triunfo lo consideramos, ser inevitablemente nuestro triunfo al igual que su honra la cOnceptuamos la honra de la Universidad de San Carlos. Consta de que; siendo aUn arzobispo de CebU, su primer amor era la Universidad de San Carlos· pues desde los primeros dias de su estadia en esta ciudad, ya mimaba a esta instituci6n, la col~aba de favores y le prodigaba toda su paternal atenci6n. Dotado de coraz6n grande al par que generoso. no escatim6 sacrificios ni trabaj~s ni cariiio para engrandecer este centro docente. A consecuencia de la Ultima gue1·ra, el anti~uo Colegio de San Carlos qued6 completamente an·a.sado. Despojado, pues, San Carlos de sus edificios y de otros bienes, nuestro magn1foimo P1·elado acudi6 sin pfrdida de tiempo, y sin consideraciones personales, a nuestra ayuda, ofreciendonos asilo y socorriendo a nuestras apremiantes necesidades. Negdndose a st mis'm-0 las legitimas y necesa1·ias comodidades y pompas de un palacio a1·zobispal, alquil6 una casa residen cial pa1·a que la universidad pudiera reanudar las clases en los edificios del m·zobispado que las bombas habian perdonado. .

Resultarta interminable si pretendieramos dar siquiera una reseiia de sus exitosos trabajos y triunfos. Su vida es traba.io, tanto en lo religioso como en lo civico. Su elevaci6n al arzobispado de Manila lo consideramos no tan s6lo providencial, sino tambien como aE10 inevitable y verdaderamente justo y esttf muy en su punto el que Su Excelencia Reverendisima se encuentre a la cabeza de la Jerarquia cat6lica de este pals. Aplaudimos muy de veras la feliz selecci6n hecha po1· la Santa Sede aunque nos parte el coraz6n el que tengamos que ver como se nos arranca al buen padre y bienhecho1·. S6lo nos usta el consuelo de que nuestro estimado Prelado es uno de aquellos de quienes Filipinas puede enorgullecerse legitimamente.

Los dos debian moverse en la misma direcci6n, tal fue el plan del divino m·quitecto que esboz6 y cre6 este mecanismo. Mas el pecado produjo el desorden en esta admirable maquina1·ia.

Page 25 VENERABLE ARNOLD.,. (Continued from page 6) and Triune God in Whom all thinking, all praying and all striving originate. That also accounts for his looking with supernatural eyes at everything that stood In relation to the glory and majesty of God. This his almost staring gaze into eternity gave all his doings an invincible quietuae ar.d an inward reliableness. Nothing could :=hake his faith in God. With serene eyes h<' watched adversities fall upon him like raindrops from on high. Out of this unfaltering trust in God was born a spirit that stood calm and serene, while the world was falling upo11 him, - a spirit tl1at transformed adversity into merit, suffering into joy, and weakness into strength. Accordingly his life of prayer also surpassed many of his fellows. Far into the night he could be H'ell prv~trated 011 I;·~ k1.ees before the Holy Eucharist, or even Mretched out before the altar. 'fhe veneration of the Holy Ghost and of the Sacred Heart of Jesus were among the many devotions near to his heart. Yes, he did everything in his power to foster these two great devotions. All in all we may well say that Arnold Jans sen was a man who would utilize with all sincerity and with the deepest convictions his whole personality to serve the plans of God. This correct interior conduct made him a loyal son of Holy Mother Church, a solicitous Superior and a humble confere who guided his establishment to achieve all those successes which give glory to God. Here indeed is a philosophy in which faith in the primacy of the spiritual values in the life of man shines forth luminously. The monument of his Christlike zeal stands not only in Steyl, but is seen throughout the world in the Order which he founded. • On January 15, 1909, God called this loyal, indefatigable sower to grant him the Apostle's reward. When Father Arnold Jans sen closed his eyes to the world, all who knew him were unanimous in saying that "he was a man of Divine Providence, a saint." This may arso account for the fact that his burial turned out to t>e a triumphant parade rather than a funeral cortege. Over his tomb in the cemetery chapel, his children wrote on a marble slab the following impressive words: Dulcissimus in Christe Arnoldus Janssen Pater Dux Fundator noster in pace Page 26 ROTC BRIEFS ....
