Paul Dietrich was the. organist. Father Paul Beck, pastor was celebrant at all of the weekend Masses, and he paid special tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom. ' Father Beck took his sermon topic from the tale of the five wise and five foolish bridesmaids who had to wait for the bridegroom's coming. During the long wait, five ran out -of oil for their lamps and had to run. to buy more. The other five brought extra oil and greeted the bridegroom and entered into the festivities. Jesus is the long-awaited bridegroom and the church is the eager bride of Christ. Are we prepared to answer His call, no mat- ter how late? Are we prepared to live as students, parents, religious. single, widows in His service or to give our lives as soldiers in war? We must ac- •cept God's call in Wisdom and live it the best way we can.

At this time of year. we are reminded of something else - "on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we shall remember them". Perhaps it is fitting that this tribute take place now, at this time of year when all seems bleak and cold and wet. so that the very sky seems to shed somber tears over the graves of our fallen veterans. Like the earth itself, in which they rest. life seems suspended over the long winter, but spring and a resurrection of life will follow for'the earth, and ultimately, for our dearly departed loved ones.
