st. Francis Of Assist, born the
son of merchant in the year
1882 A. d., was chosen by our
Lord to be a living example of
Christ's suffering while on earth.
When very young st. Francis was
instilled with nigh esteem and
Burning love of poverty and humil-
iation. which led him to renounce
the wealth and position that was
available to him, The people of
Assist, including his father, would
laugh and jeer at him as he walk
ed through town garbed in the
robes of poverty.
AS a result of his teaching, peo-
pie wanted TO help him in his work
of conversions. st. Francis acquir-
ed permission from Pope Innocent
III to form a religious community
that has grown into several various
orders through the centuries.
His entire life was devoted te
the teaching the multitudes that
came TO listen to him. Frequently
st. Francis would make a retreat in
to the desert. where he could be
alone TO contemplate and pray.
While on one of his retreats. thu
prints of the five bleeding
wounds Of Christ appeared on
his hands, feet and side. With
the words Welcome sister
Death" on his lips, st. Francis Of
Assist died on October 1, 1926.

Referring to the intense and in
creasing rivalry between National
lists and Liberals. which has al
ready erupted into bloodshed in
various sectors of the country, the
Bishops said the November cleo
tions may we'll be one of the de-
cisive turning points in Philippine
history. They stressed that any in
reference with the freedom of the
ballot is serious crime against
God and the State.
I'VE here in the Philippines"
the Bishop asserted, are approach
ing very important event, the
general elections, and party rival
ry has been brought to the keenest
pitch. This rivalry is in itself a
good sign, as indicating a growing
awareneSs among our people of
public issues and an increased po-
litical maturity.
Moderafins Influence
'But since such rivalry always
carries with it the danger of civic
dissension and national disunity,
it seems opportune at this time
that some moderating influence
should make itself felt-an influ-
ence capable of calming irritated
tempers and ensuring that sound
principles of prudence and morali-
ty rather than factional hatred and
personal enmities should dominate
/ the conduct of the elections"
! Discussing the evil of election
frauds. the Bishops declared that

No Institutions Named
For Saints in Pakistan

KARACHI, Pakistan - (NC) ~
Pakistan Catholics have expressed
regret over a new government rul-
ing which in effect creates oD-
stacles to naming new institutions
after saints.
The ruling states that in the
future no institution in Pakistal
may be named after a non.Pakis-

of the government. It can be OBJ
tanned from the governor general,
the prime minister or the provinc-

band and wife is such a good
secret that it diffuses itself in
the generation Of children. God
is good, and He diffused Himself
in the revelation of the Old
Testament, in the Incarnation of
Jesus Christ and in the infusion
of His Redemptive Grace into
our souls through His Holy

Sunday, October 18th, is the
day in which the Catholics of the
world will have an opportunity
to prove themselves good. II

Faith, they viii be unable to
keep it to themselves: they de-
sire to diffuse it to others IN
the poor missions of the United
States. and to the 1,100,000,000
pagans in the foreign missions.
On that day the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith will
give you and your parish an OPP
portunity to prove that you are
Catholic. Catholic means univer-
sal, and universal means being
missionary TO the ends OF the
earth.

Work To Start
This Fall On
Museum Building

Construction of a building for
Allen county museum, a project
which was delayed for more than
a decade because of World War ii,
is scheduled to begin this fall, ac-
cording to an announcement by ]. A.
MacDonell, president of the Allen
County Historical and Archaeological
Society.
Decision to proceed with the build
ing program was reached at a meet
ing of the society's directors last
Friday night.
Preliminary sketches, slightly mod
flied from the originals produced in
1941, are being prepared. When
these have been completed and ap-
proved, bids will be requested and
work will get under way, probably
in October
Location of the museum will be on
the former William J. Wemmer
homesite, 670 w. Market street. This
was given to the Allen County COM
missioners through deed of grant by
the Wemmer heirs, on condition that
the Allen county museum be built
on the site.,
Another condition of the gift was
that the construction must be under
way by Jan. 6, 1914, or the premises
would revert to the donor. This
condition was fulfilled when the
boiler and storage unit was con-
structed on the rear of the lot.
MacDonnell said the estimated cost
of the building is $250,000. The
society's fund, started with a pop
ular subscription in 1941 of $780,
900, has been built up to a figure
of $146,000. By the close of the
year it is expected that the society
will have $150,000 for the construc-
tion project.
Proposed plans would provide a
1913 by 86-foot, two-level, brick-on-
concrete block building, housing the
main museum area, on the main or
ground floor, while the second floor
would hold museum, small galleries,
