ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock ■ • August 11th is the 9th Sunday after Pentecost and the second Sunday in the month. The members of the Altar Society and all the ladies of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. Monday is the Feast Day of St. Clare, Virgin. Wednesday of next week is a day of Fast and Abstinence. It is the vigil, of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin into Heaven. Thursday—the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—is a holy day of obligation. The Mass will be at six o’clock. The High Masses this week were on Monday at six o’clock —an anniversary Requiem High Mass for Joseph Heritier. Joseph was the only member of St. Christopher who lost his life during the war. A Requiem High Mags was said on Thursday morning at 6 o’clock for Juanita Bender at the request of her husband. The Lawn Festival at St. Christopher last week-end was very much of a success in every way. The weather was very good, with the exception of a little shower on Saturday night. But this only tended to show us that St. Christopher was looking in on the Festival, because when one thinks of St. Christopher they always .think of water as he forded the stream carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders. The crowds were very large. The co-operation and untiring efforts of the workers, as usual, continued through to the end of the Festival—which meant Monday and Tuesday of this week. And naturally, since a new school and churchj for St. Christopher in the not too distant future, it is hoped, is the goal of Father Lindemann, he was very pleased with the large net profit from the affair. The winner of the Nash car was Miss Margaret Weadick, Health Educator of the Tuberculosis Association of Marion County and Director of the Nutrition Camp at Bridgeport, Indiana—and we might say that she had more than one ticket. We sometimes hear that it takes only one ticket to win, which is true. But it is also true that the more tickets you have the more chanceryou have of h av i n § that winning ticket. Mr. Oscar Lyons, one of our prominent and honest business men, had charge of the awarding of the car. And with Mr. Lyons in charge, we all feel quite satisfied that all was "fair. The first number drawn, which had been decided, was the winner of the Nash. Father Lindemann wishes to express his thanks and appreciation to Mr. Lyons, to jail the friends of St. Christopher who came over and spent do generously, and to all the members of the parish who gave oil themselves and their goods. He als'b wishes to thafik all the 1 business concerns and the press who cooperated so willingly:] because it takes all of these to make a successful affair. On the eighth day of the Novena prayers to the Little Flower of Jesus we read—“ Whatever God has given me has always pleased me, even the gifts which have appeared to be less good than those received by others.” Nora Bray.

The Gospel is good news to us because it is the very thing we need. Men have spent time and money trying to prolong life.

We must accept and believe the gospel to be saved. The great question is, “Have you accepted God’s terms of Salvation?”

APPRECIATION Can I feel that a day is a failure Because the sun—somehow does hide. Can I feel that a night is ruined By no stars at eventide When I’ve known many delight* : ful days V Born with radiant light at dawn Many lovely scenes of the twilight When night’s starry crown was on. My memory—must—outshine the dimness And make up to me—if oppressed Let me live today—as I find it And class it along with the—best! —Anna E. Young. IN GRATITUDE I know a pair of catbirds, Just as rude as they can be. They built their nest in the tree next door, Yet they eat offen me. I’ll tell you a little secret, And it’s true; They have little kittens at their house; I just know they have, Because I heard them mew. —Flossy May. When man discovers she’s a cat instead of the “ ’ittle kitten” he married, the honeymoon is over. Clean thoroughly once a week and your house will stay cleaner.
