Ours… is the duty and privilege to labour, by day, by night,
amidst the storm and stress of these troublous days, that we may quicken the
zeal of our fellow-man, rekindle their hopes, stimulate their interests, open
their eyes to the true Faith of God and enlist their active support in the
carrying out of our common task for the peace and regeneration of the world.
