the bronze tablet suspended above names of all the members served in the armed forces in 1917] and 1918. |

The list on the tablet includes, some regular Army men who were] temporary temporary residents of Indianapolis. | A complete survey of the fate of these was impossible, but in so far as is known they, too, had the same record.

Saw Men Leave and Return

Many churches have open fire-| places in their parlors, but very few, if any, a welcoming grate in the vestibule as in the Central Avenue Methodist Church. Thus the story, suggested by the bronze tablet is as unusual as the fire which burns be-

neath it. *T saw the boys go and I saw them come back,” said Dr. Orien W. Fifer with a ring in his voice, obviously glad to be able to make such a statement this war-time Christmas. Dr. Fifer was the church pastor from 1917 to 1927; the present minister is Dr. F. Marion Smith. Most of the Central Avenue men belonged to a Sunday school class organized and taught by an Indianapolis physician, the late Dr. George W. Combs, according to Dr. Fifer. Reunion at Sunday School “They left the class to go to France and other parts with the knowledge that the prayers of the congregation followed them. This gave them faith and the confidence that their sacrifice would not be in vain,” Dr, Fifer said. When the war was over, there was & great reunion of the veterans in the Sunday school class. Soon thereafter, they organized the Osric Mills Watkins Post of the American Legion with Warren T. Fifer, Dr. PFifer’s son, as the first commander. Nothing seems to please the congregation more than to give the post the free use of the church's social rooms for their dinners and other functions.

Dr. Fifer Retains Faith

Dr. Fifer visited the Grave of the Unknown Soldier in Paris some

years ago and saw the torch kept perpetually burning there until the recent German conquest. The fire in the Central Church is a similar torch, he thinks, a reminder of the sacrifice of those who go to war for |

Looking back over a ministry covering 50 years in a world that has weathered many wars, Dr. Fifer speaks solemnly, but encouragingly. He says: “Those of us who have our faith firmly entrenched in a belief in God and in the triumph of right may be filled with a joyful con-

Appeal Made For Orphans

Bishop Ritter's Letter Cives Message of Hope.

“The Feast of Christmas quickens the human heart for with it comes the assurance that a Saviour is born,” writes the Most Rev, Joseph E. Ritter, bishop, in his pastoral letter to the Indianapolis Catholic Diocese. The message carries the annual appeal for the orphans of the diocese for whom the offering at all masses on Christmas Day will be used. The pastoral letter which will be read at all masses in the diocese reports that $40,000 was given last year for the orphans. Bishop Ritter’s letter is full of quotations from the Bible, all of which are designed to give hope and good cheer to the country in war time. Fof “the measure of our victory is determined by our faith,” says the bishop. The following brief prayer concludes the message: “May the Christ Child bless us all and raise a protecting hand over the world so bitterly distressed and calm the waves of fury, hate and destruction that peace may again come to suffering humanity.”
