Thus Leo XIII, in his famous ency-
clical letter "Auspicato" GSS2), after
pointing out why the Third Order
should be embraced by Catholics of
the present day, concludes: where
fore we eXhort all Christians not to
hesitate to enlist in this Order"
Again, in an audience in 1886 he said ::
Say everywhere that it is by means
of the Third OrdersI desire to revivify
humanity and again: my social
reform is the Third Order" /.
Plus X, when Patriarch of Venice,
issued "a pastoral letter wherein he
eXhorted the faithful of his diocese to
join the Third Order, and as Pope he
wrote to the delegates of Franciscan
Congress at Vicenza March ~, 191O):
THE Third Order is, in these days.
wonderfully adapted to modern needs;
therefore we eXhort you very
! earnestly to make every effort to
| further the advance of so wonderful
an institution" And our present Pom
| tiff writes: st is our desire that
every city. town and village should
have many members of the Third
| Order. Why should not. the numerous
and various associations of young peo-
pie, of workmen, of women, existing
everywhere throughout the Catholic
world. join the Third Order, and, in
spired with st. Francis zeal for peace
and charity, devote themselves per-
| sistently to the glory of Christ and
