Those who are not Catholles are immed sometimes puzzled when they read

or hear about Religious "Orders" and "Congregations." and many take for granted that these repre- tholic Church. That is not cor- sent special sects within the Că-

rect, for the Catholic Church has no sects. They are organisations of men or women who voluntarily adopt a fixed rule of life with a certain spiritual end in view. The difference between an Order and Congregation to a technical one: all the more modern Institutes are called Congregations, the older ones like the Franciscans, Domini- cans and Jesuits are "Orders." The Salesian Congregation is of- ficially called the Society of St. Francis de Sales and will celebrate the centenary of its foundation fr 1944. It was the gentleness and attractive qualities of St. Francis de Sales that made St. John Bosco couple his name with it.

THE MANILA CONGRESS Though it is only a week since it was announced that the "88. Haltan" would make the journey to Manila for the Congress next February. booking has already been brisk, and it seems certain that there will be a large party China. En- representing South quiries have already "come from several of the Southern provinces and from Macao, and a request to be allowed to participate has come from as far afield as Bombay,

All over the 'world Catholics whe cannot travel to Manila for this occasion are planning to join in spirit with those who are taking Dart in the ceremonies. Many places have already arranged for special celebrations on the days of the Congress. Among these are places in such disturbed arean as. SuÏyuan in China and Valencia in Spain. There will be special religious ceremonies in all the Churches of Bulyuan. "Among the latest places to announce operation are Molde, in Norway, and Navrongö on the African Gold Coast.
