ROME, Dec. T.-(Special to The Bee. >
The pope, who is hard worker himself
thinks hard work is a blessing Talking
on the subject with an American prelate
he said:
Hard work never kills a man. though at
times it may give him some hard knocks
II is surprising to find so many old men
on the missions who grow younger each
year by keeping at their noble task For
instance, there is a bishop, Mgr. Cazet,
who. despite his 81 years. is able to do
active duty. Bishop Cazet celebrated his
silver jubilee Of conservation on October
II. During the last year. in the course of
his missionary tours. he confirmed SOS
persons and the number would have been
larger If more priests were on hand to
gather the harvest. I understand he
makes his journeys on foot. ]. hope to
see him ere either Of us passes away"

only fifty-one members, nineteen short of
the full quota, it is possible that the pope
may appoint few new members. Twenty
seven cardinals are over 70 years old
seven being 80 years old
