Some people seem to think that
they can't make a novena unless
they leave home and get jostled
by few thousand persons bent on
the same grace. NovenaS can be
private affairs, too. We surely
ought to have a novena in mind
for the Holy Spirit, and begin it
the day after Ascension. Any pray
ers will do if we don't have some
prayers in honor of the Holy Spirit
at hand. The necessary item is the
nine days without a lapse. Work
up your own schedule of prayers,
and stay with them, and you will be
all set. Perhaps God and the Saints
would rather have you make your
own private novena; it really shows
your personal love and initiative.

We wonder why we are in a

out devotion; why we make no
spiritual progress. The answer is
simple. We are not disciplining

our selfish desires. Here are two

ly in a discussion on missionaries
in the Uttar Pradesh legislative
assembly.
DR.. Sampurnanand, Hindu home
minister of the state, asserted that
the state government is aware
that monetary inducements had
been offered for some conversions.
He said that $50 Hindus had been
converted to Christianity by Ca
tholic and Methodist missionaries
in Mathura district during the past
two years.
A Hindu member went so far as
to charge that regular contracts"
had been entered into by all con-
verts promising to return money
taken by them in the event Of
their reverting to their original
faith.
An expression of Catholic re-
action to these developments came
from Archbishop Thomas Pothaca-
injury of Bangalore, secretary of
the Catholic Bishops Conference
of India.
The preIate spoke strongly
against any possible Limitation
of religious rights granted TO
minorities by the indian eonsti-
tuition, and denounced any at
tempt to curtail the essential
work of Christian missionaries.
He said such an attempt would
amount to interfering with the
rights granted them by the con-
sfitUfion of q secular state which
assures religious freedom and
equal protection TO all faiths.
The prelate dismissed as abb
solutely without meaning the de-
mand that missionaries confine
their activities to educational and
humanitarian service. He pointed
out that missionaries do not come
to India in their personal capacity,
but act on the desire to propagate
the religion of Christ.
Reeonversion Drive
Meanwhile, the Mahasabha, an
ultra-Hindu organization, has initia-
ted a big drive for re-converting
to Hinduism all Hindus who had
been converte c d to Christianity
since India's independence.
The president of the organization
announced that he was starting a
5000, ,000-fund to promote the sud.
dhi (reconversion with purifica-
tion) movement.

they found him sprawled on a bed
in the apartment about 3 am. Doc
tors said later he had been dead
about an hour.
Placed under police guard al
Jefferson Hospital was James Nor.
rison, 26, who police said had been
released from prison three months
ago after serving a term for
burglary.
Morrison, according to Nicholl
and Weise, was removed from the
wreckage of small English sedan
that Skidded on a downtown street
corner and crashed into a brick
wall few blocks from the church
and DR.. Bissell's apartment about
2::30 am.
They quoted Morrison as saving

injured in a fall. Morrison was
suffering from cuts of the head,
hands and face and a back injury.
Police searching the wrecked car
found cards indicating it was
owned by DR.. Bissell. They also
found a clergyman's white and
purple stole, and a wristwatch
with its leather strap torn. Watch
and strap were bloodstained. II
was after these discoveries that
officers went to DR.. Bissell's apart
ment.
Homicide detective Henry Brown
said DR.. Bissell had been beaten
about the head and face, apparent.
" with fists, and possibly smoth-
cred by the pillow which partly
covered his face. Bed covers were
pulled to the foot of the bed.

City Defers
Action On
Proposed Study

The city commission mov-
ed last night to give further
study to a proposal to have
a survey conducted of two
local governmental functions
by a national firm of experts
in municipal administration.
City manager Victor Lang pre-
sented a proposal to the commits
sion from the Public Administra-
ton Service, non profit firm
which offers technical assistance
to governmental agencies on the
local, state and national level.
Particular Fields
Lang said that he is particularly
interested in having studies con-
Quoted of the finance department
and of the city's civil service ad-
ministration.
The firm has offered to do the
job on a cost basis, with the total
price not to exceed $4,5OO. The firm
would conduct a comprehensive
survey of the city government and
submit recommendations for need
ed changes.
The city manager pointed out
that the studies would be valuable
in the development of newer and
more efficient methods of admin
iStering the city's financial needs.
Important Points
He added that with a new set of
civil service rules slated to 60 into
effect shortly, a program of job
classification and pay plans is i'm
portant.
1T will be difficult to admins
ter the new rules without such a
study" said Lang.
= City Finance Director John Day
also recommended the city take
advantage of the plan, citing the
huge financial growth of the city
as the reason.
Commissioner Delio Cobo then
moved that the city manager con-
tact other cities in Florida to de-
termine the worth of the program.
Lang had earlier pointed out that
most Florida cities have made use
of the service in the past.

Commissioners have been
smarting under the terms of
a bond ordinance authoriz-
ing the flat $4,000 payment
although the electric COM
pany has grown by leaps
and bounds, with a resultant
increase in profits.
That the city actually loses mon
ey each year, was pointed up when
1t was revealed that they pay near
ly $4,000 to the utility for electric
service annually.
Last Nights Action
Last night, the commissioners
moved to meet the engineers, with
R. S. Beck and Associates, before
deciding on how much of an in
crease they will ask for when a
$ 10000 bond issue is authorized
for needed expansion of the city's
power producing facility.
Only chance the city has OF S'at-
ting an increased revenue is for q
So, $780, 900 outstanding bonded in
debtedneSs of the company to be
refinanced and combined with the
new bond issue.
Commissioners also expressed
the opinion that a substantially low
er interest rate could be obtain
ed on $500, 900 package DEAL"
Chief bone of contention last
night, was the question of whether
or not the city should ask for an
annual increase of flat sum or
should ask for a percentage of the
firms gross revenue or profit.
Lump Payment
City Manager Victor Lang ad-
vocated a lump payment, saying
that in the event of rate drop
or increased cost of production Of
electricity, the city would receive
a smaller payment.
Mayor c. B. Harvey proposed
plan to use the additional revenue
for needed municipal improvements
such as city hall or auditorium.
He suggested setting up ''priori-
ty list for such improvements.
eve just won't get the improve
ments out of present revenues -
we've got to find some other way"
commented the Mayor.
Then, Commissioner Louis Car
bonell, suggested calling in the
company engineers before setting
a figure for the increase.
His motion was passed unani-
mously.

Rapist Sought
In Tallahassee

TALLAHASSEE R-Sheriff's in
vestigators and police today dog
gedly tracked down all possible
leads in an effort to catch the man
who raped 16-year-old girl here
Sunday night.
The victim, who apparently
tainted when the attacker seized
her as she passed vacant lot in
a subdivision at the outskirts Of
the city, was able to tell investiga-
tors only that she was a tall man.
Sheriff Bill Joyce said he had a
score of odds and ends to work
out but nothing resembling an inn
portant clue. E
The victim was said to be re.
covering satisfactorily.
