To “Our Lady of Good Counsel and their holy patron St. Vincent, the Editors commend the good work thus begun, in the assured hope that they will not fail to plead in its behalf with Him who schooseth the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world to confound the strong, and base things, and things that are contemptible, and things that are not, to bring to nought things that are, that no flesh may glory in His sight” (1 Cor. i. 27, 28).
