User-Contributed Transcription The Franciscan Order for over seven hundred
years has brought the teachings of Christ to
every land. Today the Franciscan Missionary
Union continues to make this wonderful work
possible by the alms of those who enroll
themselves, their relatives, their friends or
deceased loved ones in the Union. In turn,
the Missionary Union pledges each member a
share in the Masses, prayers and good works,
not only of its missionaries, but of the whole
Order as well.

The Franciscan Missionary Union was ap-
proved by Pope Pius X, May 31, 1907 and
again by Pope Pius XI, April 25, 1922.

FRANCISCAN MISSIONARY UNION, 135 W. 31st STREET, N. Y. C.

A SPIRITUAL GIFT

There are plenty of writings on
the nature of G-d. But Ben's
speculation went no further than
the obeisance: "I think of him."
Standing in front of a
painting of an archangel
by Andrea del Sarto
in Florence he said:
It is as impossible
for this painting to
imagine the man
who painted it as it is
for us to imagine
G-d, who created us."
