St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses7:oo o’clock The men of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass Sunday, November 7th. There is to be a very important meeting of the November Committee of the Altar Society at the home of Mrs. Walter Freund, West 14th St., Monday night, November Bth. All members are urged to come, as the final arrangements for the success of the STYLE SHOW and CARD PARTY at the Speedway School on November 11th will be made. x We regret that the' name of Donat Prince was misspelled in last week’s paper. The Mass on Wednesday morning of last week was said for Donat Prince. Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Victor Zore. It was a girl November Ist‘at St. Vincent’s Hospital, and she weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces. The name being considered for her is Monica. Both Dorothy and the little lady are doing fine, so Papa Vic told us. The Mass on Saturday morning will be at 6 o’clock ... an anniversary Requiem High Mass said for John Collins. And remember Saturday is the first Saturday of the month of November? ’ Do you all have your tickets for the STYLE SHOW and CARD PARTY to be held the night of November 11th . . . Armistice night ... at the Speedway School? Better get you one. But come anyway, even if you don’t have a ticket, as tickets can be had at the door. The Style Show is scheduled for 8 o’clock sharp, so don’t miss any of it by being late. The ladies on these committees work very hard, but they love it if only large crowds attend their parties so that they can happily entertain them and know that their efforts have not been in -vain. So do come. Get your friends to come. Remember the date . . . NOVEMBER 11th. The Altar Society is still offering Christmas cards, personalized or plain, and Christmas wrappings for sale. In Vatican City, Pope Pius XII recently told financial leaders of several countries that regard for the people’s conscience and respect for their security should be the guiding financial policy. We feel that this samfe policy could be applied in part to each of us individually, and that if it were, at least some of the selfishness and “back-knifing” would disappear. Sometimes that thought and sentence, “Charity - begins at home,” is overdone, and we are inclined to make money our God, and not a means of finding our God and showing our love for Him. Among the casualties of the war, we learned from our reading, is the four-faced clock in the steeple of St. Saviour’s Church in Jerusalem. At the national convention of American War Dads in Buffalo recently, a plaque was erected to the memory of Father Flanagan, the founder of Boys’ Town. The month of November is the time set aside when we especially remember our dead. When praying for your departed loved ones, don’t forget those poor souls who may not have anyone to pray for them. A friend of ours once told us that she makes a practice of saying a prayer for every soul whom she reads of who is about to receive the death penalty. More of us could do likewise. “If ye do well, ye are not put in fear by any terror.” —I Peter 3:6. Nora Bray.

Parent Education Study Group of P.T.A. The meeting will be held in the Town Hall at 1:15 p. m. on Monday afternoon.

We invite you to attend. “Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.”—Psalms 107:8.
