Of Love

INSTEAD of praying for
l. faith to move mountains,
10 nuns of the Carmelite order
are busily moving mountains
of brick and mortar to build
a convent in PreSteigne, Eng
land.
Funds were low when they
arrived at Presteigne to found
the new convent, so they
bought a do-it-yourself book
on, bricklaying. Two. of the
nuns studied the book thor
oughly and were appointed
forewomen; the others pinned
up their brown habits, donned
sackcloth aprons and began to
build.
In order not to interfere
with the normal duties of the
convent, the SISTERS USED a
rotation system, at least two
doing construction work every
day. The others are always
on call, however, when a pile
of bricks has to be moved or a
heavy beam put into position.
None of the nuns had any
previous building experience,
but like do-it-yourselfers
everywhere, they've found it
isn't as hard as it looked.

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of our be-
loved Mother, Rosa L. Stallings,
who passed away a year ago,
March %, 1858.
No one knows the silent heart
aches,
Only those who have lost can
tell
Of the grief that is born in
silence
For our dear one we loved so
we'll.
More and more each day we
miss you
Friends may think the wound
has healed,
But they little know the
sorrow
That lies within our heart
concealed.
Mother dear, we are so home
sick
Oh why did we have to part,
But you left us to remember
None on earth will take your
place.
Our loved one, true and kind,
No friend like you on earth
We'll find,
For all of us you did your best.
Dear God grant her eternal
rest.
Sadly missed by her children

Circuit Rides Again
By EVELYN WEAVER

These are busy days for the
church just before Easter. l was
lust thinking to myself the 9TH
er day that of the two blggest
festival days of the churcn'
Christmas and Easter, that those
are the two biggest seasons for
business. Maybe part of the rea-
son for the lack of Christian
power and concern In our
churches is this very fact. You
think about it awhile.
I just couldn't help to think
about how suffering comes to the
innocent because of the sin OF
man when we heard about the
tragedy in our county this past
week. My deepest sympathles are
extended to the Uhl family OF
Belle Valley.
Monday evenings meeting at
the high school in Caldwell was
most encouraging. We heard re-
ports on what other communities
and counties are doing about
hospitals. l hope that this county
is on it's way for better health
in our county. May 5 is a big
meeting in our county for this
cause and you'll be hearing more
about it.
Tuesday was busy with, coun-
Gil meeting of the MYEAand
speaking at the CaHseNdge
church. Our youth council made
plans for our May 3 banquet
which is held in Caldwell this
year. =,
And Wednesday was full
day out at Keithtown; then IN
the evening at Harriettsvllle
meeting with the youth.
1t is Achievement Day in
Guernsey county this Thursday.
Yours truly will be leading sing
ing in Cambridge that day. And
that evening you will find me out
at Conners Ridge in Monroe
county.
This Sunday, l will have ser
vices and there will be Sunday
School at East Union. For those
of you who live in the Berne
and East Union communities,
there will be film showing on
Tuesday evening of Holy Week
at the Carlisle church. The film
is Journey Into Faith" the re-
surrection story. This same film
will also be shown Sunday even
ing at Keithtown.
