The latest developments toward
building church at Schley is that all
people of all denominations who have
interests in this vicinity are willing to
donate towards church. In fact we
can depend on probably $1,000 from
people who might never enter our
church if it is built. People in this vi
cinity who strongly opposed this move
ment some time ago are strongly sup
porting it now. Another fact that pre-
sented itself is that the Bohemian
folks of the Lourdes parish wish to
hear the Catholic sermons in their own
tongue. As one of them said: "The
greatest blessing God could ever be-
stow upon me is to give me fair op-
portunity to hear the Gospel in my own
tongue" will add that it is most
just and proper that all should have
this opportunity. But we, the people
of Schley, reside too far from any such
church. This fact causes many good
families living northwest of here to at
tend church but once or twice year,
and no wonder, as some of these live
over 20 miles from Protivin, which is
Bohemian Catholic church.
God, l am sure, cannot look at us with
a loving eye as he sees these conditions
which we might remedy by little
in building church.
