Spiritual Diary for Lent
The heavens declare the glory of God:
and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
Day upon day uttereth speech, and night
unto night sheweth knowledge. There is
no speech nor language where their voice
is not heard. Psalm 19:1-3.
The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
Joseph Addison
Today's Message
When a man complains about the prob
lems which harass his everyday life and be
gins to think that perhaps he has been
singled out for misfortune, I would recom
mend that he step out into the night and let
his eyes rest for a while on the sparkling
Heaven above him. Let him reflect on what
he sees and try to imagine what lies beyond
the space which he can scan.
In the vast stretch of eternity which has
no beginning and no end; where measure
ments are based on the distance that light
can travel in the space of a year; where the
whole Earth is but a fleck of dust it will
be difficult for him to continue to believe
that either he or his problems are so im
portant. In the majestic quietness and the
inconceivable bigness he will sense the pres
ence of the Divine Power at whose command
all things move and all things cease to move.
A man need not be alone in his prob
lems nor need he feel that there is no solu
tion. To the Almighty all things are possible
and His help is promised to each of us. All
that He asks in return is that we believe
in Him!
JOHN EDGAR HOOVER,
Director, FBI.
Today's Prayer
Let us give pause to meditate in our dark
est hours; let us scan the firmament of night,
regard the moon and stars, and know that He
will dissolve the darkness to give us light.
Amen.

St. Alice Congregation Proud
Of Fine New School Building
By VERA HANSEN
Everyone present at the dedication of St. Alice Catholic School
Sunday was given a 75-page booklet telling of Catholic progress in
Springfield from the day in November 1920 when first classes were
held in what is now 901 Q Street to the present church and school
buildings at 15th and F. During the depression the congregation be
came inoperative and was revived in January of 194S. All through
the years the names of Rodakowski, Palluck and Zilkoski were promi
nent. These people and others, many of them immigrants from the
Ukrane, founded a Religious Vacation School which has expanded
into a large part of national Catholic activity. In 17 years tch move
ment has grown to 7,112 vacation schools, 21,000 teachers and 549,000
pupils.
In the summer of 1945 four and one half acres of land were
purchased at the present location.
Quoting from the booklet, "with
full cooperation between Very

whether lor only one "word" or lor tne wnoie service. Ar
rangements for the union Lenten service are made annually
by the Eugene Ministerial Association, and this year's plans
were announced at their recent monthly meeting.
The ministers also heard a report on the recent leader
ship training course sponsored
by the (interdenominational)
Council of Religius Education,
which trained some 85 church
workers from 21 different de
nominations. They set a social
dinner for "get-acquainted"
purpose, for April. Ministers
and ,their wives will attend it.
The ministers considered three
moral issues: They heard Phil
Gent, representing the Knights of
Columbus, describe an effort spon
sored by the Knights and other
Catholic groups, to persuade re
tailers and wholesalers of popular
resolution to approve and cooper
ate with the project.
A letter from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union was
examined. It urged the ministers
to use their influence against
House Bill 95, which would estab
lish local option on the liquor-by-
the-drink issue. Opposition of the
WCTU is based on the provision
in the bill that a local option elec

the voters signed a petition. For
