THE Central Preparatory Commission for the Second Vatican Council finished its meeting ahead of schedule. It was to meet to decide on the basic structure and organisation of the Council. On account of the speedy Central Preparatory Comrate at which the work mission, said in a press inprogressed, two meetings terview after the meeting that the matter was one were cancelled.

This decision to allow for a certain limited use of a participant's native language is an indication of the vastness of the application of the interests of the Universal Church.

PROFESSION
Funds will be made available to bring to the Second Vatican Council those Fathers of tho Council who cannot meet their own expenses. Two Bishops of missionary territories present at last week's meetings had their expenses paid by Vatican funds. The studies of the preparatory commissions and secretariats will continue with the same aims that they have had from the beginning, said His Holiness. "To put it briefly," he said, "the Council intends to reinvest the clergy with a new brilliance of sanctity. It intends that people be instructed efficaciously in the truths of the Faith and of Christian morals; that the new generations -arising as a hope of better times be educated properly; that care should be given to the social apostolate; that Christians have a missionary heart.

NAME CARVED ON STONE
An Italian archaeologist has reported that a stone with the name of
Pontius Pilate carved on it has been found on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Professor Antonio Fria said that a University of Milan expedition found the stone near Caesarea, about 10 miles tram Haifa in the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre. Scholars said it was the first archaeological evidence found of the Roman procurator of Judea who ordered Christ's crucifixion. Ceasarea was the "apital of the Romans in Palestine for about 500 In addition to years. Pilate's name, the name of the Roman emperor Tiberius was also on the stone. Tiberius was the emperor at the time Jesus Christ started his public life. Part of the stone appears to have been chipped off, while another line of carvings has not yet been deciphered.
