"Chaminade's Letter to Fr. Caillet 1825" by Bro. Ishmael

•Universality in Profession life
•Bordeaux ,June, 16,1825
To Fr. Caillet, Paris
• I believe that the costume of the Society of Mary will be sufficiently distinctive, as you have indicated. As regards the ring , I think  I have already spoken to you about it. It will also have its little and modest distinction, according to the ranks and offices.  I am having the teachers for the normal schools seriously prepared.
     Fr. Chaminade

•To be prudent
•Without undue haste
•Without negligence

•Humble no doubt
•Modest and favoring  modesty
•Without being in sharp contrast  with the ideas and tastes of the century  in which God has  called  us  in to  existence.
