He .-aid: "I have to enjoin you with the Cross as tho sign of man's redemption, and so may veu ever remember m your lives that its four arms syinboii.se tho Christian virtues — prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude; that its points represent tho eight beatitudes which spring from tho practice of these virtues. 1 am about to hand you a cross. Its whiteness is the emblem of that purity of lil.o required in those who fight tor the deKnee of the Christian faith, and live tor the poor and sulforing.''
