Mrs. Catherine Enlow of 1729 Norfolk St. was the lucky member of the Merchandise Club last week. She chose a Purrey blanket in the summer sea shade. Little Miss Sarah Jane Stamm did the honors. Your prayers are requested for the soul of Thomas Keogh who was buried from St. Christopher on Monday morning of this week. St. Christopher suffered the loss of one of its pillars in the death of Mr. Keogh. It was partly through his influence and acquaintances that the sale of the present site of St. Christopher was finally made. His smiling face, and in later months his tottering footsteps, are going to be missed by all who knew\ him. May his soul rest in peace. ‘ Congratulations to Grandpa Hank Rosner, to Papa Harry Parker, and all the family. Mary Rosper Parker presented her husband with a little baby girl on Monday. They told us that both mother and babe were doing fine. And we would lika to add our congratulations to Grandma Mazie Bender and the rest of the family, even though we are a week late. Donna Etter Webb and her boy left the hospital last Sunday for a visit with Benders. Of course Papa Webb is visiting with the Benders too. “. . . . Whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it to thee.” —St. John 11:22 . . . remembering always that God gives us what He knows best that we should have. Nora Bray.

There is a searching, present-day revelance to the question in the Palm Sunday lesson, “Who is this?” Curious and indifferent people would have asked it. Some among the multitude had an answer, “This is Jesus, the Prophet” Others added, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” The first Palm Sunday testimony was not a complete reply. The multitude that day was living on the other side of Gethsemane and Calvary and Joseph’s garden. We live on this side. When our generation whispers or shouts “Who is this?” we know a fuller answer Here is our Palm Sunday testimony, “This is Jesus the Christ my Lord and my God!” THE HOLY COMMUNION will be celebrated on Palm /Sunday at the 10:45 a. m. service.
