IT is said that the government of
Colombia and the Papal See have come

ties, colleges and all other educational
establishments, whether public or pri
yate, shall conform in their Organiza-
ton, their management and in the

Catholic Church. Such an arrange
ment is very unlikely to continue for a
long period of time.

1t is not not well to be credUlous.
neither is it well to be skeptical. But
if we must choose between the two, it |
is better TO believe too much than to !
