Father McGlynn is leaving shortly for Portugal anc Italy to carve a large statue (from the "original model) which will be pl:~ced in the Basilica at Fatima.

MARIANIST FEATURES HUME
An article by Paul Hume, music crit ic of the w.. hington Post, is featured in the March issue of The M•ri•nist. Mr. Hume examines the subject of Marian hymns in the light of the recent papal encyclical, S•cre Music•e Disciplin• (Dec. 29, 1955). His conclusions are interesting and outspoken.
