St. Christopher's Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann .. Pastor Sunday Masses: 8:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 A. M. Dally The children of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the eight-thirty o’clock Mass Sunday. Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, and the Gospel is according to St. John 14: 23-31. “If anyone loves me—■” ‘ Saturday of this week, the Vigil of Pentecost is a day of fast and abstinence. Next week we have Ember Days—Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are days of fast and abstinence. On May 30th, our Most Reverend Bishop Ritter will celebrate his twenty-fifth anniversary in the Priesthood. A letter read at all the Masses Sunday stated that he did not wish any public ceremonies, but each and everyone in every one of the churches in his diocese will be offering up their prayers for him. It is a coincident that on the same day, the same month, the same year, that our Most Revermed Bishop was ordained a priest that our Most Holy Father, the Pope was made a Bishop. The hour of the Novena held on Wednesday evening has been changed from seven-thirty to eight o’clock. What can we say to arouse in our people the desire to attend these Novena services —to come and pray for our soldiers. Father Lindemann’s short sermon was very good last Wednesday. He pictured the difference between what we do in the death of some of our friends here at home—how much—and how little we seem to be doing for the many, many of our friends who are dying on the battlefields. Yes, they all are our friends. Are they not laying down their lives for us. And are we not taugnt that there is no greater love than to lay down our lives for our fellowmen. Our chapel is filled three times a day on Sunday, yes and over-flowing at the eightthirty Mass—why can’t it be filled for the Novena services just once on Wednesday evenings.

POPPY DAY OBSERVED HERE TOMORROW Poppy Day, Saturday May 23rd, is of special interest to everyone. We observe this day for three reasons: first, in remembrance of those who gave their lives in the World War, second, because the making of the poppies gives employment to our disabled veterans W’ho receive little or no compensation from the government and third, the contributions received for the poppies permits the Auxiliary to carry on its program of rehabilitation and child welfare. Now, since we are in the midst of another war, and are permitted to use our poppy proceeds for the families of the men now in ser-

vice of our country, the Red Cross and the many activities of the USO, it behooves us to make more of a concentrated effort to increase our sales this year. Let us not forget to offer our services on Memorial Day in decorating the graves of the veterans of other wars. As we reverently observe this day, let us pause in grateful remembrance, lest we forget those who gave their lives that we might live in a land of freedom. May we never forget to offer a daily prayer for our boys in the four corners of the world who are fighting to keep America free. The Girl Scouts and the local unit No. 198 of the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion will sell poppies in Speedway Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. Make your contribution in Speedway.

Speedway Christian Church Rev. Howard Anderson Minister SUNDAY SERVICES 9:30 A. M Combined Church School and Worship Service 11:00 A. M .». Second Worship Service Sunday morning Rev. Anderson will use for his theme “Living In A Time of Tension.’’ We are called to join with the Christian forces of our world; to stand steadfastly against those destructive forces and ideas that threaten civilization. Today the Church, being faced with such titanic forces, must gird herself to meet them with Christ; love for hate; understanding for ignorance, brotherhood for intolerance, and the Kingdom of God for nationalism. To meet human need caused by a world caught in a war and to redeem life for the Kingdom of God, let us recall the scripture “I came that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.” The Chancel Choir will sing for both morning services. At the eleven o’clock service there will be the installation of the church school officers. This service is also a dedication to them. There were 387 in attendance at the morning service last Sunday. For the first service it was necessary to open the doors to the Minister’s study and seat people in there.

Anderson will deliver the Baccalaureate address to the graduating class of the Speedway High School in the High School gym, Sunday evening at 8:00 o’clock.
