5 ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o'clock Weekday Masses —— ? ; 00 o clock As this column is being typed, the air all around us is full of invasion news. We have paused in prayer with our President and many others on the radio. We have gone to churc to pray, and have prayed at home, but let us all continue to pray fervently each morning, each night before we go to sleep, and during each day, that the invasion may be successful in the shortest time possible, with the least amount of blood shed possible . . . always remembering “Thy will be done. Iff any people received Holy Communion on Tuesday morning at St Christopher, and people continued to come to the Church all day and far into the evenings to pray. d Next Sunday at the 8:30 o’clock Mass the ladies of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion —this includes all members of the Altar Society and all women of the Parish. The regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society will be held next Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock in the Parish Hall. After the business meeting, the following hostesses will takeover, Mrs. Walter Freund, Chairman, Joseph Etter, CoChairman, assisted by Mesdames Clara Gales, Kathryn Fogarty, Louise Fierek, Rita Ann Fisher, Pauline Nester, Carolyn O'Neill, Elizabeth Otte, Ann Petraits, Louise Petraits, Henrietta Phelps, Mary Endres, Emma Frances O’Neill, and Gertrude Ernstest. These meetings should all be well attended. It was most pleasing to see so many members at the May meeting. Bill Cunningham, a newspaper columnist, has announced in his column in the Boston Hertild that he would like to be the first to contribute SIOO to a national fund for the reconstruction of Monte-Cassino Abbey. He suggests that American civilians of all faiths participate. “Other lacred places have been damaged or destroyed wherever bombs have fallen, but we cant undertake to underwrite them all. - But this could serve as our token, not of penitence, but the assurance that this nation of all faiths respects the traditions and the monuments of every faith, even if, to save the lives of our men, it becomes necessary to sheD the foe of all religions from sanctuaries their very presence desecrates.” This world famous monastery was the first deliberately destroyed by United States forces, necessarily so of course, but unassisted and accepting full responsibility. “Word that while fully backing that decision, we of America plan to rebuild the holy place by popular subscription as soon, as the fighting stops would turn one of Goebbel’s hastily snatched propaganda blades on himself. Further than that, it would stand as a symbol and serve as a solemn memorial”, he further adds. “Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins” —St. Luke 11:3-4. Pray for us oh Sacred Heart of Jesus! nora bray.

Miss Ely, missionary to China, is enjoying the freedom of the United States after two years in Shanghai under the Japanese, eight months of which were spent in one of the three internment camps in that area.

■ I ’ jfli ■ .- if Ihfe, nHB ■Hk' MISS LOIS ANNA ELY Christ since 1919, first at Hofei, later at Nantung where she saw the school grow from very humble beginnings to a thriving and promising institution, to be destroyed by the bombing of the city by the Japanese early in their attack on China in 1937. When the war broke Miss Ely was on vacation in northern China and finding it impossible to get to one of our stations, came to the United States on furlough. However, in 1938 she returned to China and was located in Nanking where she worked in the South Gate school and Drum Tower Church of the China Mission, and shared in activities on the Ginling College campus and work among western people of the city. For a very short time in 1940 she went back to Nantung but soon was transferred to Shanghai, doing editorial work for the National Christian Council of China until her internment. Her diverse talents and interests Miss Ely has always put to good use in her missionary service. She is a good; linguist, and gifted in music, art, and poetry. Gardening is one of her many hobbies, and she tells of great success with her flower garden while interned. After graduation from the University of Southern California Miss Ely taught in the Inglewood, California, high school for a time, but upon deciding for missionary service, she entered the College of Missions, Indianapolis, and on the completion of that work was appointed by the United Christian Missionary Society as missionary to China. She looks forward to the time when she can return to that field to take up her work that has been interrupted by the war. In passing—Buy Bonds to back the Invasion: Buy Bonds from the Cubs.
