St. Christopher's Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 A. M. Daily Sunday, the third Sunday in the month, is the regular monthly Communion day for the C.Y.O. and the young people of St. Christopher Parish. They will receive at the eight-thirty O'clock Mass. Saturday at eight o’clock will be the children’s Mass of the Mission. It is hoped that every child belonging to St. Chris- - topher’s Church will attend this Mass, and as many as possible will receive Holy Communion. Mrs. Thomas J. Murphy, who will be remembered as a speaker about a year ago at a meeting at St. Christopher, is the new president of the Indianapolis District Council of the Indianapolis Diocesan Council, National Council of Catholic Women. She was elected last week at the Quarterly Meeting held in the Catholic Community Center, 1004 North Pennsylvania Street. The October Committee of the Altar Society sponsoring the card party given at St. Christopher’s Parish Hall last week want to thank everyone who helped them with their party. The Mission at St. Christopher will continue on through Sunday. The closing exercises will be held at seven-thirty o’clock Sunday evening. The services begin with a five-thirty o’clock Mass each day, followed by a fifteen minute instructions, ending at six-fifteen. Another Mass is said at seven o’clock, preceded by instructions. Each morning an opportunity is given from five-thirty on to anyone Wishing to go to confession and receive Holy Communion. From 3:30 to 4:30 instructions are given for the children. The evening services begin at 7:3o—first a short instruction, followed by the saying of the Rosary. Then Father Lorenz delivers the sermon. The services are closed with Benediction. We would like to go into detail and tell you about all the things Father Lorenz has refreshed our minds, instructed and guided us in these many fine instruction talks and sermons, but time and space forbid. Even though we know that repetition would.be welcomed by those attending the Mission, perhaps those who aren’t attending wouldn’t want to hear about them anyway or they would be making the Mission themselves. The Study Group will meet Tuesday night, October twentysecond, at 7:45 with Mrs. Victor Zore on Winton Avenue. Remember any woman of St. Christopher’s interested in study is welcome, and is invited. Even though the weather has been lovely, didn’t you know that some of these nights you are going to want blankets and more blankets to keep you warm. Well, here is one answer. We have heard rumors of so-called blanket clubs in Speedway, two of them now, we believe. We heard Mrs. Joseph Rosner of Winton Avenue telling Mrs. Joseph Daley of Gerrard Avenue something about it the other day. It seems that some club member will receive her first blanket this very Saturday, and so on. If you haven’t been asked to join, and want to learn more about it before you decide whether you want to join such a club, why don’t you call one of these ladies. We have learned that a new pastor soon will lead the parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Irvington. The Rt. Rev. Michael W. Lyons has resigned in anticination of a building campaign soon to be started there, but will remain as pastor emeritus. The Rev. James Moore, formerly of the Sacred Heart parish, Terre Haute, and a former assistant at Our Lady of Lourdes, has been appointed his successor. During the time of the Mission would be an excellent time for any of you to buy that prayer book, rosary, crucifix, or sick call you have been intending to buy for so long. Religious articles are on sale in the Parish Hall, and Father Lorenz will be happy to bless them for you. The little profit derived from the sale of these articles is to be given to the Altar Society. There Will be one of our ladies there after each seven o’clock daily Mass, again before and after the evening services, and again before and after all Masses on Sunday. Thursday, the twenty-fourth, is the Feast day of St Raphael, Archangel. “He that adoreth God with joy. shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds.” Ecclesiastics 35:20. —Nora Bray.

M Young Peoples’ Program During the days immediately proceding the National Christian Mission, all churches in Indianapolis are keeping an accurate record of their attendance at Church services. We are happy to announce the attendance at our services last Sunday as follows: There were 307 people present at the 9:30 service (This is an increase of 12% ever the attendance at church school on the second Sunday in October of last year.) There were 220 who took communion at the two services last Sunday, which means that 61 % of our church membership received Holy Communion. Such figures indicate that people are responding in fine fashion to the fall program of our church in keeping with the National Christian Mission. Two services will be held at the church on next Sunday morning; the first at 9:30 o’clock and the second at 11:00 o’clock. Music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. The minister will preach at both services, using as his theme: “Our Debt to Gc ’ You are invited to come to the service which suits your convenience best. If you have small children in the church school, you may find the 9:30 service better for your needs; others of you who cannot come at the earlier hour will be welcomed at the second service. If you are new in the community, may we suggest that one of the best ways to get acquainted with your new neighbors is to attend the church. A sincere and hearty welcome awaits you with our congregation. Evening services at the Community’s Church will begin on Sunday, October 27th. On that evening, we will have with us Mr. Wicks, National Church Architect, as our speaker.

DYING TO LIVE Have you forgotten what is going on Tuesday night, October 32 at 8150 p. m. In the high school gym? Of course, you haven’t. It’s the annual Junior class play. This time the Juniors have chosen • veTy fast-moving, amusing, and bewildering Play entitled, “Dying To Live” by Wilbur Braun. The prices are only 15c for children and 25c for adults, so why not dig down into your pocket, pull out a nice shining quarter (or what have you) and give it to a member of the Jurilor Class in exchange for a ticket to this great show? Just listen to the cast of characters and see if it doesn’t make you “sit up and take notice.” Samson Winlock, a hen-pecked, yet adoring husband—John King; Olivia Winlock, his jealous wife— Evelyn Spencer; Chick Breen, a handsome, young chap in love with Sylvia—Floyd Workman; Sylvia Winlock, Samson’s young and charming sister—Marcy Mann; Mina Royston, who never misses a thing Marian Baxter; Melva Jones, the maid, who has a poetic nature—Lolita Schoenewey; Es teile Gay, a young movie star— Joan McGaughey; Mrs. Dillion Dilworth, a society matron—Dorothea Rosner; Mrs. Naomi Estelle, the innocent cause of so much trouble—Novella Northcott; Montrose Langdon, who is “on the cops” and in love with Melva— George Cunningham; Savoldi Yutaka, a Yogi—Bob Williams. See, didn’t I tell you, it did make you wonder, didn’t it? Well now I guess I’d better tell you a little about what it’s all about. It seems that Chick Breen, who, as we have said before, is in love with Sylvia, gets a note from an old girl friends of his, who came to California (from New York and who insists on seeing him. Of

course, he doesn’t want Sylvia to know anything about this other girl, so he forces Samson to meet her. Complications keep setting in until finally everyone is in trouble and thinking—well, for instance, Olivia thinks that Samson is a bigamist and tries to have him arrested, while Melva thinks that her boy friend, Montrose Langdon is married and has babies and—oh, well, why not come and see for yourself? You’ll like the mystic atmosphere created by the Yogi Bob Williams, and the glamour of the movie star, Joan McGauhgey, besides all the others. Mr. Lincoln Northcott is sponsor of the Junior Class, while Miss Marjorie Pyke is coach of the play.

Why not plan, not only to come yourself, but bring your friends, your enemies, your relation, your mother-in-law, and everyone you know, and help make this play the biggest hit ever! ROOSEVELT CLUB TO HAVE CARD PARTY The Speedway Roosevelt Club will give a card party in the old gym of the Speedway School on Wednesday evening, October 23rd, at 8 o’clock.
