Murphy struck the keynote of his Foundress Day address on Oct. 4. One of the thousands influenced by the power of St. Francis, Mary Francis Clarke. Father Murphy observed, pos sessed the priceless gift of treating passing things passingly, and lasting things lastingly. Inspired, as St. Francis had been, to reconstruct the world in the pattern of Christ, Mother Clarke and her asso ciates, abandoning worldly things, re solved to dedicate their lives to the task of bringing Christ to children and yi ung people through the establishment of convent schools. From that day, Father Murphy con cluded, the spirit of Mother Clarke has permeated the lives of thousands of- young people- taught in her schools young people to whom the light of her example and the invitation she extends to all to follow her form a bond of union growing stronger through the years.
