ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. LindemannPastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses.7:oo o’clock There will be Mission services at 7:30 o’clock Friday and Saturday evenings, and Masses at 6:00 and 6:45 on Saturday morning with short instructions at 6:30, as has been the custom all this week. The Missionary Priest has asked that all confessions be finished by 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon. After the services Saturday evening, there will be the bleSking of all Holy articles—special blessings on the Rosary, and other articles, which the Father has explained during the time of the Mission. After the blessing of the Holy articles, there will be an opportunity for everyone who is not already enrolled in all of the scapulars to be enrolled. Father Dalton very interestingly, as well as instructive, described the scapulars, their origin and meanings Tuesday evening. It would give us a great deal of pleasure if we could review for those of you who have not been attending the Mission, the wonderful talks and instructions this Redemptorist Missionary has given us, but space won’t permit: but, by all means, finish the Mission with us. Many of the ladies of the Parish will help serve at the Communion Breakfast for the Fathers and Sons of the Parish immediately following the 8:30 o’clock High Mass Sunday. Saturday is the Feast of the Most Holy" Rosary. Remember —October is the month when our meditations are on the Holy Rosary. Our next Wednesday evening will be held the regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society in the Parish Hall. It will not be a masked party as originally planned. However, if any lady wants to wash up a bit, change the color and odor of her face powder dr change her hair-do, it will be all right. After the business meeting, the hostesses will take charge. Mrs. Louie Carlsen is chairman and Mrs. Delia Collins, co-chairman. These ladies will be assisted by Mesdames Beatrice Breen, Bess Bruce, Ethel Callahan, Mary Chapman, Bertha Cohen, Margaret Stamm, Mary Stoneburner, Helen Swift, Alice Snyder, Margaret Soller, Notie Stamm and Ann Plains. Good times, yes very good times, are always enjoyed by everyone who attends these Alter Society Meetings, so you had better plan npy£jp,_£gme. next Wednesdayvening at 8 o’clock and join in the fun. Don’t forget the spaghetti supper and card party Saturday evening, October 14th. The ladies tell us there is also to be a little entertainment during the supper and before you begin playing cards—and too they say that there is going to be some very nice prizes. No doubt you have all been contacted to buy a ticket, but if not, and you want to plan on coming, call either Mesdames William Meyer or Frank Medenwald. I David Lawrence, the well-known columnist, said the other day in an article that the biggest single need inside of the United States after the war is over will be PEACE—an end to friction and the ideological war which has been fomenting class hatred, racial bigotry, strikes and economic conflicts within our borders. This can never be done if the left wing and the right wing are to fight a battle of extermination, and if a political regime in Washington—whether democratic or republican—exploits such a crisis for its own end. This surely expresses the desire of all of us. And if the highest in the land down to the lowest would only learn the lesson of humility to one another, charity to all, and love of God and neighbor, this end could be accomplished. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, prayfo r us. *'"‘*“7 nora bray.

Revival Is Now On Our Revival is off to a good start. We have been praying for a long time for a REVIVAL in Speedway. We don’t want just a meeting, we want a REVIVAL in every sense of the word. Bro. Towns is an old-fash-ioned preacher and preaches the whole Gospel in the old time way. Plan to come and hear this man of God declare the whole council of God.

Local Church Has 2 Sunday Schools Speedway Christian Church has long been struggling with the problem of inadequate building facilities. The congregation has partially solved this problem by having two Sunday Schools and two worship services. The superintendent of the church school and the minister would like to encourage more attendants at the 11 o’clock school. There are classes to care for all children up to nine years of age at all time. Since every class at 9:15 o’clock is packed beyond capacity, each family that chooses the later time of service will help relieve this crowded condition. “We would especially ask that any family that can not be in the' early school promptly by 9:15 o’clock, wait until 11 o’clock,” said the minister in a recent announcement. It would help greatly if a number of people who

bring their children to the early school (and bring them in late) would transfer to the later classes. The classes at 11 o’clock are taught by competent people. The church service at 11 o’clock is identical with that at the earlier hour. There were 535 people in the 9:15 service last Sunday and 105 in the second service. It would help greatly if there were about 450 in the early hour and about 200 in the later service. Your cooperation in relieving the crowded 9:15 service will be appreciated. The ushers had to turn people away at 9:30 o’clock last Sunday because the building was filled. Plan to attend the 11 o’clock service with your children. You will be more comfortable and you will help the ushers greatly. ,

FOOTBALL I am quite disappointed you did not turn out for last Friday’s game. The boys on the team played a good hard game and came out the winners, 13 to 0. Lawrence Central, as I predicted, put up a strong fight. You missed some fine entertainment on the part of the school band. They gave a fine exhibition; their formation, was beautiful. The spirit of the team and the student cheering section are grand. One comes away from the games feeling “pepped-up” rather than tired. Last Sunday afternoon I attended another ‘game at the stadium between the All-Stars (socalled) and Bowman Air Field of Kentucky. I did not see as good football played as our high school boys play and it cost me twice as much. The next game at the stadium will be Oct.- 20, the team being away from hmne the sixth and 13th. Next week I’ll tell you about the next home game. In the meantime hold the 20th open and arrange to see the boys in action that night. You won’t regret it. A Speedway Fan? Jobs Daughters News < Jobs Daughters will hold their regular meeting Oct. 7. All officers are requested to be present as they are going to practice for inspection.
