and preached at a Solemn Pontifical Mass in Sacred Heart church marking. the formal opening of the Congress. Bishop Pursley said the spirit of the world "is always a rougbe ruthless and reledless antag()c> nist to spiritual truth." To keep that spirit completely out of religious life is "a plainly impossible task," he said, unless community members cooperate with the- grace of God which "will not be wanting." "Those who enter religiolU life today," Bishop Pursley observed, "are coming largely out of a world softened by selfe indulgence to an extent which makes all the prcblems of selfdiscipline more acute and' mor0 resistent 'than' ever before." He said that "if the task is harder than before, it must, for that reason, be done by men and women more worthy to meet itD demands."
