In addition to St. Pius X parish here in Toledo, the Oblates staff parishes in the dioceses of Wilmington and Rich- mond, and also serve as regular chaplains in the armed forces. Father Sottek Father Wharton The present membership of the American province is about 500, a rich growth since the first American foundation some fifty years ago. To St. Francis, as to all of their schools, the Oblates bring the spirit of St. Francis de Sales, spirit rooted in complete submission to the Will of God. Sublime though this ideal may be, it can be taught and learned, even by boys. In young men, it is ex- pressed best by the virtues the Oblates are bidden to implant, viz., respect for authority, courage, unswerv- ing devotion to the faith. Properly nurtured, it can become the Suaviter et Fortiter of St, Francis de Sales himself, the mark of a mature, alert, Catholic gentleman. This IS the spirit, it WILL give life . . .
