Paula Taylor and her crew served over 100 take-out dinners from her kitchen and had to turn-*iany more away.

Catholic Church News Father Van Zuphthen celebrated all of the -Masses this Remembrance weekend, as Pastor Robert Morrissey was called out of town to tend to his own father, whoisquite ill. The 9 a.m. Mass was a special service for all members of the Legion and those in the scouting movement, and it was an impressive sight as they all marched in just before Mass began, involving over 80 persons. The gospel was about the story of the Widow's Mite, when Jesus com- pared the hypocrasy of the wealthy with their ostentatious displays to the true generosity. of the poor widow, who gave all that she had. In other • • • words, Jesus doesn't want us to mere- ly tithe from our surplus, but to give till it hurts. If our prayers of petition are to be effective, then our lifestyles must correspond to that which we seek. Hypocrasy doesn't work - we can- not live sinfully and pray for bless- ings. We must be in harmony with God and make our whole lives a prayer. At the 11 a.m. Mass, the choir sang two special hymns, "Fill My Cup, Lord" and "Amazing Grace." Con- gratulations and welcome to Donald Patterson who received his first Com- munion this Sunday, after making his profession of faith and receiving the sacrament of Penance, joining the catholic community.

Coffee and a hymn sing, led by Millie Desjardine, preceded the bi- ble study. Nita Sinclair led Lesson 12 "Does History Make a Difference?" This section analyzed Romans 11:11-36; the Jews, because of their unbelief. were cut off from the living olive tree. Paul turned to the Gentiles and grafted on those who believe, even though the grafting on of wild bran- ches is contrary to nature. In this the Jews have hope, that if wild branches will grow on the Living olive tree, how much better it will be when the natural branches will be grafted in again. Paul warned the Gentiles who were grafted into the good olive three through Faith in Christ, not to boast, for they also can be cut off. 1 verses 20, 21) The essence of Chapter 11 study is, God's dealings with Israel are beyond all human understanding. His fairness, His farsightedness, and His faithfulness guarantee beyond wes- tion that His promises with Israel will come to pass. Katie Vincent gave the closing prayer.
