Bronxville Men Attend Dinner The Promoters for the Geth-

semane Retreat League held a "Get - Acquainted Dinner" on Saturday evening, March 26th at Fergus 11 Restaurant,5790 Mosholu Avenue, Riverdale. Representatives of parishes and non • parochial groups from Manhattan, Bronx, and West­chester participated in this first annual dinner.

Present at the dinner from Bronxville were Richard O. Ciuffo, Oakledge Road; Howard E. Hassler, Hampshire Road and James J. McCarthy, Saga­more Road.

The Rev. Columkille Regan, C.P.- retreat director, made a report to the assembled one hundred men on the progress of construction of the new re­treat house and the state of re­treat organization. He outlined the timetable for the next six months and exhorted the men to consolidate their groups for retreat activity in January of 1967.

Edward Murtagh, vice presi­dent of the National Catholic Laymen's Retreat Conference, addressed the audience in be­half of the Conference. He wel­comed this infant group into the conference, composed of 225 re­treat houses and over 500,000 men.

The guest speaker of the eve­ning was Captain Neil Behan of the New York Police Depart­ment. As a long time promoter of retreats and member of the executive committee of the Bishop Molloy Retreat House in Jamaica, Captain Behan was able to bring his years of ex­perience to the group of laymen working for the retreat house in Riverdale. He outlined the dif­ficulties of promoting a retreat, and spoke of the personal satis­faction that comes to the promo­ter whose friend, neighbor, or fellow parishioner graps his hand in heartfelt gratitude after the retreat.

"The initial opposition to mak­ing a retreat is hard to over­come," he said, "but when a man has gone on such a week­end, he will probably return the following year! The peace, the quiet, the contentment of the weekend are unique." Captain Behan challenged the men to spread the good word on re­treats, and to be ready to fill the Cardianl Spellman Retreat House when it opens in January of 1967.

The National Health Survey reports that 132 out of every 1,-000 adults (ages 18 to 79) have heart disease, and 117 out of 1,-000 are "suspect."

BECKY SHAN

Christ Church Women Aid Chinese Girl

Through a grant from the women of Christ Church, Becky Shan, a Chinese girl, is finish­ing Union Theological College in Hong Kong. Becky's parents came from Shantung some fif­teen years ago to Macao and thence to Hong Kong, where for two years Becky worked with church orphanages. Then, partially sponsored by the church women, she was able to continue studies at the Union Theological College. This is her senior year and when she fin­ishes she will add at least one more trained worker to help alleviate the world-wide short­age of church workers.

Becky Shan is only one of twenty - five causes for which financial aid is contributed by the women of Christ Church. Funds for this purpose are raised through. bridge lunches, bazaars and specialty sales. This Spring the fund raising project is a bridge luncheon and coun­try store which will take place Thursday, April 21. Store opens at 11 a.m., bridge luncheon at 12:30. Reservations may be made through Mrs. Richard O. Walker Jr. 28 Tanglewylde Ave­nue.

lt takes a m e n t a l break­through to begin finding the spiritual truth about God and man, according to a Christian Science lecturer who spoke here Monday, April fourth. Nothing else can satisfy /'the basic spir­itual needs of mankind," he said. Howard Hv Irwin, C. S., of San Bernardino, California, was the speaker.

"Salvation is a continuing pro­cess," he told an audience in the Church edifice at 10 Tangle­wylde Avenue. It requires the individual to challenge and over­come the "resistance of materi­alism."

Mr. Irwin spoke here at the invitation of First Church of Christ Scientist, and was intro­duced to the audience by Mrs. Annabelle Klein, the Second Reader.

The lecturer declared that "human thought tco often is either unwilling or incapable of grasping things outside its own experience. It finds it difficult to conceive things unlike itself.

"This tendency accounts for mankind's slowness in getting into space,"-he laid. "The laws or forces that make it possible to explore outer space have al­ways been available, but they could be grasped and used only as the human mind was led out of its bondage.

"This same reluctance of the human mind to think of any­thing unlike itself also explains the delay mankind has shown in the full acceptance and practice of the Christianity of Christ Jesus," Mr. Irwin declared.

Spiritual law and the spiritual idea of God which were re­vealed in the life of Christ Jesus are still present today, he said. "The salvation of the Christ only awaits our accept­ance and our willingness to par­take of it." There is no other way to find happiness, the lec­turer maintained.

"No searching in the realm of matter can satisfy mankind's yearning to know about God, about man, about one's own identity, destiny, and reason for being," he said. "The advances made in the natural sciences" are fine and useful, but they "cannot dispel mortal man's loneliness, his grief, or his sor­row. In shortr materiality can never bring salvation to man­kind."

He quoted Jesus' words to the Samaritan woman, as recorded in John (4:24): "€od is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

The spiritual nature of God is also a fundamental teaching of Christian Science, Mr. Irwin said.

"Spirit is used to express God's presence, strength, power and steadfast nature. It sug­

gests God's activity in filling all space, showing his availability everywhere, all the time, to everyone."

This spiritual concept of God leads naturally to a spiritual concept of man, the lecturer in­dicated.

"Man, as the image and like­ness of God, must be spiritual and perfect," he said. Man "must reflect and expresSsGod's qualities and attributes. He is not a limited material object living in material space. Rather he is the representative of in­finite Mind, embodying the for­ces and laws of divine Truth and Love." He added that "mortal man is a poor counterfeit of God's man."

Mr. Irwin told of how a Chris­tian Science practitioner was able to turn to these "spiritual facts" for the healing of a young child delirious with fever.

He described the truths that "poured into the practitioner's waiting thought" as he prayed: "God is the source of man's being, and He governs each one with unfaltering law. There re­ally cannot be even a pretense of another power to disturb this divine government. Impartial Love, which is God, is the divine Principle of all being, the Soul and substance of individuality, the intelligent and all - wise source of man and the uni­verse."

The "conviction, authority, and love" which came with these thoughts resulted in the healing, he said. This awarness of "spiritual selfhood" is avail­able to everyone, said the lec­turer. It is part of the "continu­ing process" of salvation.

"Salvation lifts our concept of ourselves," he declared. "It brings us new values, new goals, and new purposes." Salvation also "brings with it a complete sense of true satisfaction," said Mr. Irwin.

"One who is gaining spiritual satisfaction finds it easier and easier to detect the temptations of materialism and to resist and reject them,"' he said. "What can materiality offer to one who is growing ever more conscious of his own spiritual wholeness as the child of God?"

As one grows in proving his salvation, he finds that "every­one his thoughts rest upon is blessed," said the lecturer. "One's own salvation reaches out to all."

He concluded by giving the "daily prayer" written by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science: " 'Thy king­dom come;' let the reign of di­vine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me, and rule out of me all sin; and may Thy Word enrich the affections of all mankind, and govern them!" (Manual of The Mother Church, p. 41).

An Easter Memory By ELSIE M. CHAMBERS

By the calendar, Spring be­gins on March 20, but the real official opening of the Spring season comes with Easter Day, be it early or late.

If it is early and the flowers are not yet blooming, the day is brightened by the rainbow of colors comprising the new attire which is traditionally worn for the first time on Easter Sunday.

If Easter is later, the beau­ties of all outdoors vie with the matching hues of milady's Eas­ter bonnet and corsage, the co­lorful Easter eggs, the hothouse flowers which are in evidence everywhere.

In remembrance, one can feel the pinch of new patent leather strap slippers, the dress up feel­ing of wearing to Sunday School a spanking new dress and coat, a new straw hat with perhaps a wreath of spring flowers encir­cling the brim, a new pocket-book, and even gloves. As a child this was exciting, and it was fun to see all your friends outfitted similiarly for Easter Day, and perhaps as uncomfortable.

The organ music was unfor­gettable, the service was sol­emn — what a nice feeling to get out into the sunshine again, to go home and change as fast as you could, and start the Eas­ter egg hunt.

We scoured the woods, lifting

up clumps of leaves, searching behind rocks, always expecting to find the hidden eggs left there by the "Easter bunny." The fact that we never found any didn't bother us at all — there was always something interesting that we did find —. the first woodland flowers, little round clumps of green beginning to unfold into ferns, jack - in - the pulpits, branches of yellow and red maple, "yellow bells" or dog tooth violets that grew near the swamp, p u r p l e , and white "swamp violets." Even the smell of the brilliant green "skunk c a b b a g e " brought its own breath of Spring. And a* outdoors was ours.

Sometimes we were daring enough to shed our shoes and socks and wade barefoot in the icy brook, or jump from clump to clump of swamp bogs—often missing our footing. We walked along railroad tracks knowing there were no trains due. We climbed fences and tore our clothes. But was there ever such fun!

And then tired and dirjy we hurried home to finally find our own Easter baskets hidden in the yard behind rocks and bush­es, and to enjoy a fine Sunday dinner—roast chicken and stuf-fin' and all kinds of fixings—a happy Easter Day!

Easter Services At Village Lutheran Church

Holy Week at The Village Lu-w-theran Church began on Palm Sunday with the giving of palms to members of the congregation and Sunday School. At the elev­en o'clock service the following new members were received in membership: Robert Balma, Erwin Fellerman, The Rever­end and Mrs. Bernhard Filbert, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kuch, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Madej, Mrs. James McCormick, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Mueller, Mrs. Anna Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. Reinhard Reichelt, Miss Julia Ruman, Mrs. Ronald Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Thompkins and Craig and Dennis Thomp­kins.

On Wednesday evening April 6th, a special service was held dedicated to the youth of the Church. A dialogue sermon was conducted by the members of the Walther League.

On Maundy Thursday, April 7th, Holy Communion will be celebrated at the 8:15 p.m. serv­ice. The Reverend. Howard L. Halter, pastor, will preach on "This Do In Remembrance of Me.'

On Good Friday the Church will hold two services. The first will be a service that will take the form of a memorial service for Christ, Savior of mankind. The half hour service will be held at 12 noon and children are especially invited to attend. The second service at 8:15 p.m. is the Passion Service which ends in darkness and silence. At the 8:15 p.m. service the Bidding Prayer is traditonally used, in which the congregation uses its right of the priesthood of prayer and in which the pastor takes the place of the congrega­tion.

As Lent begins at the Village Churchy with the 7:00 a.m. com­munion service on Ash Wednes­day, the Easter season also be­gins with a communion service at 7:00 a.m. Easter morning.

At the 7:00 a.m. service a white altar cloth will be dedicat­ed to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuck, parents of Mrs. H. Edwin Griesmer. This altar cloth is different in that it follows the Byzantine tradition and features five hand-embroid­ered panels mounted on raw silk.

The white altar cloth is used in connection with any celebra­tion honoring Christ. The left panel depicts the birth of our Lord; on the extreme right His Resurrection; c e n t e r panel shows the regnant Christ; to the left is Moses and to the right is John the Baptist.

This is the first of f o u r such

REV. HOWARD L. HALTER

altar cloths—the others will be in green, red, and purple; thte liturgical colors of the Church year.

Following the 7:00 a.m. serv­ice a breakfast for the choirs, college students, men in the armed forces who are home on leave, and the staff will be held in the Undercroft of the Church. Members of the Women's Guild, under the direction of Mrs. Al­fred Demarest, are preparing the breakfast.

For many years members of the congregation have been ask­ed to purchase their Easter plants through the Church and lend these plants for use at the three Easter services.

The Family Festival Service will be held at 9:30 a.m. at which time all children present will re­ceive a potted plant as a symbol of the Resurrection.

The third service will take place at 11:05 a.m.

All church choirs will partici­pate at the 7:00 a.m. communion service; at the 9:30 a.m. service the Youth Choirs will sing and the Chancel Choir will sing at 11:05 a.m. The Girls High School Choir and the Cecilian English Handbell ringers will also par­ticipate.

The tri-semister plan of many colleges has hurt the Easter at­tendance of many college stu­dents a t t e n d i n g the Easter breakfast and services. It is doubly urged that those students who are at home attend the 7:00 a.m. service and gather at breakfast for a brief reunio* with their fellow confirmandf
