ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock , ' On Sunday, January 20th, the young people of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. During this month of January, we aTe urged to honor the Holy Name of Jesus in a special way and to make reparation for the countless curses, blasphemies and irreverences committed against It. We should often repat the Holy Name of Jesus devoutly to make up for those who abuse it. The name of Jesus should be our aspiration during January. Monday, January 31st, is the feast of St. Angnes. A motion was passed at the regular monthly meeting of the Altar Sooiety last Wednesday night that the Society would meet on the third Wednesday night of the month, instead of the second Wednesday, beginning February. So, therefore, mark February 20th on your calendars for the next meeting of the Altar Society and do plan to attend this meeting. Really good times are had at these meetings, as well as business for the good of your church being conducted. Madame President named a part of her committee at the meeting for the February card party which is to Ibe held on Saturday afternoon, February 16th, in Block’s Auditorium. They are Mesdames Sue Whitmore and Viola Searles, Co-Chairmen, assisted by Mesdames Doris Atkinson, Helen Bouchard Rita Louden, Ann Petraits, Eva Carlsen, Nora Bray, Catherine Keating, M. Chapman and Evelyn Davis. Announcement was made at all the Masses Sunday regarding the Victory Clothing Collection campaign. We were told where we could take our clothing, or Father said that we could bring anything we might have to the Church and that it would be iboxed there. There are fifty Marion County churches of all denominations among the organizations participating in this clothing drive which is designed to provide wearing apparel for the people of war-stricken European nations, the Philippines and the Far East. We are all asked to contribute what we can spare. There is only one answer to the question we hear all around us—one world?—‘but how? —and that answer is religion. Religion and religion alone can bind all nations and races as one, in spite of differences of race, language and customers. We read in Eph. 4:5-6 the following “One Lord, one faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all.” Should we catch ourselves belittling some other raceT fust remember we might have been born ourselves of that race. United States engineering units have erected a convent for nuns in Hiroshima from salvaged material. “. . . love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” —St. Matthew 5:44. Nora Bray.

The Church of the Nazarene desires to be of service to all. Come thou with us and we will do thee good. .Numbers 10:29.
