IiPreach the w01'd, in season and out of season . . . for there shall come a time when they will not endu're sound doctrine, . but turn away their hea'ring from the t'ruth." II St. Paul to Timothy-Chap. IV October 12, 1960 Dearly Beloved in Christ: 'Our times seem to fulfill this prophecy or' a great apostle. We are overshadowed' with anxieties. Men's minds seem to be all mixed up. They are torn between hopes for peace and dread of war. They give weary attention to so 'many arguments, one contradicting another, like so many' voices at the United Nations. There is a jumble of tongues. There is also confusion of ideas. The same words ~ignify one thing to a man who has lost his freedom, and another . to him that strives to'keep it. All the more reaso~, then, for earnest seeking fo~ the truth that makes men .f,ree. And that we know is the Truth' of Christ. All the more reason for preaching in season and out of season all that we believe as coming from God. All the more cause for us to help valiant men and women,' missioners, who bring .Jight and hope and healing to the far corners of the earth.

BUFFALO (NC) A Maryknoll missionary pri_ reports a, "constantly ioereasing number of conv~ sions to Catholicism 'among' the people of Formosa. Father John Tackney, M.M. noting over 3,000 conversions ill the Diocese of Taichung, Formosa, last year said, "The Fop- _ mosian people are really ripe fow conversion." The Irish-born missionary ~s serted' the announcement ci plans for establishing a Catholic university on Formosa haG won the Church a good deal of Oriental "face." The new school will continue the work of the highly regarded Catholic University of Peking, which was taken over by the communists when they seized' cont.rol ei mainlanq China. The Maryknoller pointed out that the policies of the regime of Chiang Kai-shek have helped give the people of Formosa one of the Far East's highest living standards. From the Church's point of view, the "complete religious tolerance" of the Chiang regime has proved a boon, Father Tackney . emphasized. ' ,
