A warlike note in the form of the preponderance of military pur- sult and bombing planes of many nations prevalls at the fourteenth Paris' aircraft exhibition which takes place twice a year and which was opened here on Friday in the Grand Palais by President Labrun in the presence of the diplomatic corps, numerous prominent person- alltles and representatives of the aircraft industries in various coun- ! tries.

Men are gradually dropping the word "Progress."" At the begin- ning of the century. "Progress" was the epitome of civilization; it was the mark of a cultured people. It was something measurable in all? cold, unresponsive marble? the handicraft of man, something "Speak", "Speak"! he exclaimed: apprectable in his science and his and the work of his hands, the art. To-day we speak rather of creation of his mind, looked at him i Peace as an ideal than of Pro- with its sightless eyes of unuswer- ing stone.

Could God be less interested in the work of His divine hands? "God saw all the things that He had made, and they were very good." But they were silent. Then God made the masterpiece of the world: "God created man to His own image." and-man, with a soul it up with the beauty of that image, spoke to His Maker: "He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them."

On general principles we cannot doubt that this was the way of Don Bosco We can appeal, how

But with them, they bring as the inner fre of their own lives what was the in- her fire of their Father's, the spirit of prayer. On that depends the success of their work. Were Salesian to forget it, he might educate, he might promote social work, but he would have ceased to be the true son of the Saint. The Athenians had the altar to the Unknown God: Don Bosco erected his Oratory to the Known God, the God of Love.---

The greatness of the Saints is their union with the Known God: "that I preach to you." You have been thinking of Don Bosco as an educator, as, a social worker. In both fields of activity he accom- plished much. If however he had been nothing bus an educator, no- thing but a social worker, his name might it is a mere chance-bave been attached to a system, ored at night; with his Master he linked with a movement, without rose very early to pray.

None of us can quite get away from social work: "Am I my bro- ther's keeper?" "Yes" is the life- long answer of the Saint pointing to the words of the Master: was hungry and you did not feed Me, thirsty and you did not give Me to drink." Can we range our- selves in the company of the Saint in any of his works of zeal for his fellow-man?

People tell us that the world is calling to-day for great statesmen. Not Brethren, The world is call- ing for Saints who can pray. Years ago the great English states- man: Gladstone, when asked what he considered the greatest need of the day replied: "the greatest need is the sense of sin”; and it is just the Saint with his power of: prayer who has it. To-day much more than in Gladstone's day we need this sense of sin, and we need the spirit of prayer which creates it. Herein is to be found the heal- 1g balm for the wounded world. Herein lies the greatest of all the appeals of Don Bosco. When the Educator passes by we may stand and admire when the Bocial work-- er is in our midst we can praise,
