Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever"; “After this clear explanation by the Master, Peter approached Him and said” “Lord to whom shall we go. 'Thou hast the words of eternal life.” father Rafferty, who is a student and a speaker of ability, will deliver the sermon at the Forty Hours Devotion services this evening, at one of the masses Sunday morning, and at the closing services on Sunday evening, his subject being the ’“Holy Sacrifice of the Mass” showing that the mass is the same sacrifice as that of Christ on Mt. Calvary. The closing services of the Forty Hours are most impressive, as during this service the procession with the Blessed Sacrament through the aisles of the church is made arid from ten to fifteen priests, besides the altar boys and the school chill dren take part. ' The masses Sunday morning will be at 7:30 and 9:45 and the evening services will commence at 7:30. During the day hundreds of the faithful wind their way to the St. Mary’s Catholic church where they spend a few minutes in prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. The three altars in the church are a mass of beautiful flowers and lighted candles and as one steps within the doors of the House of God he is moved and greatly impressed with the surroundings. As has been the custom the members of the congregation will receive Holy Communion in a body at the 7:30 mass Sunday morning. Marked Absence of the Potato Bug Explained Warsaw, Oct. 14—The marked absence of potato bugs throughout Indiana this year was explained by Everett Smith, of Muncie, representative of the state entomological department on a visit to Warsaw. According to Smith the absence of potato bugs during the summer was due to the fact that the lady bug beetle had destroyed them. He also declared that the lady bug beetle is proving an important factor in Indiana in destroying the cottony male scale on fruit trees. 0 Dancing every evening ELK’S CARNIVAL.
