St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses. 1:00 o’clock On Thursday of this week, Jan. 6, was celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany—sometimes called Little Christmas. This feast commemorates the visit of the three Wise Men to the Infant Jesus, bringing Him gold, frankincense and myrrh. Friday is the First Friday ... a day of special adoration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The ladies of the Parish will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass next Sunday—the Feast of the Holy Family. The yearly envelopes will be ready for distribution next .Sunday. All Pledge Cards for the Archbishop should be turned in to Father Lindemann at once, whether you feel that you can pledge anything or give anything at this time or not. It is much easier for one person of ten or twenty to call and leave their card with Father, than it is for Father to have to make ten or twenty calls. Catholic calendars were given out last Sunday, one to each family. These calendars were made possible through the courtesy of Litzelman Coal and. Supply Corporation. A spiritual vitamin for January, as given to us by the Benedictine Sisters, is “O Jesus, fill our hearts with the sacred balm of Thy Divine Name, that the sweetness of its perfume may spread into all senses, and over all our acts. (St. Francis DeSales). Now as another year has ended and another begun, we should give thought to “Brethen, see how you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephes. 15-16). Time has been given us, as we know, that by it we may gain eternity. We should try to redeem the time we have lost through sin, by tears of peni- ' fence and true repentance, by self-denial, and works of charity. We should make the most of our time. Go to Holy Communion more often. One Mass heard by us is worth more than many Masses said for us after we are gone. Say daily the Rosary. Make private novenas to our favorite Saints. Make a continual ■> novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague. And as next Sunday is the Feast of the Holy Family more verses of Ephesians come to us—“ Let wives be subject to their husbands as to the Lord.” (Eph. 5:22) and “Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church.” (Eph. 5:25).

Plugs Capture Tourney Speedway, Plainfield, Mon--rovia and Mooresville engaged-in a New Year’s Day Tourney at Plainfield with Speedway walking off with the honors. Monrovia came from behind to defeat the Mooresville quintet in the first game to the tune of 43 to 39. Norman Pryor led the winners to their victory with 21 points. In the second game the Spark Plugs overwhelmed the Quakers 52 to 31. Allen Wiechers led the Plugs to their easy victory with 13 points. In the championship game, it was evident from the start that the Speedway height was too much for the small Monrovia 1 team; However, the Monrovia boys found out how to spot Wiechers as they held him to a lone field goal. They didn’t reckon with Konny King, however, as he poured in 17 points. He still had to take a back seat in scoring honors as Pryor ripped the nets for 19 points. In the consolation game, Plainfield upset Mooresville 51 to 43. Tonight, Speedway entertains Beech Grove, a team that has won over four county opponents. This tilt will bring the two leading scorers in the county, Bob Switzer with 112, and Allen Wiechers with 119 points in 10 games, together.
