08.5110 A Christmas carols were sung by the children, a Christmas movie was shown by Father Mootzg and Santa was there, of course, to help our Moderator and Crusaders distribute the treat. The Reverend Bernard Gerdon was a most welcome guest. The C.S.M.C. Unit of Saint Meinrad Seminary was represented by: the President-Mr. Eugene Weidman, and Messrs. Paul English, James Moriarty, and John Reidy of Indianapolisg the Reverend Ambrose Schneider-Jasper, Mr. Adolph Egloff-Vincennesg and Mr. A. J. Schwabington of Louisville, Kentucky. The A.I.C. Crusaders acknowledge a double debt of gratitude to Mr. Weidman and his Unit for their cooperation. The most gratifying part of the project was the assurance given our C.S.M.C. Unit by the Reverend Leonard Wernsing, Diocesan Superintendent of Schools. After a short informal harangue, most friendly and spirited, with the Colored Children, Father Wernsing spoke on the true spirit of Christmas-which draws no color lines. Father Wernsing told the little folks to remember always that before God all persons are equal and that the Christ Child inspires the hearts of others to help those in need and to bring cheer and gladness to the neglected and forgotten ones. He said that today's festive event was a fine example of Catholic Actiong and he praised very highly the Ferdinand C.S.M.C. Unit for engendering such true Catholicity among its members. Father Strange, pastor of Saint Rita's. assured the Ferdinand Crusaders that their efforts were truly commendable and most successful, and that in the name of Saint Rita's School, he wanted them to know that Saint Rita's would always owe a debt of gratitude for the splendid afternoon as well as the fine spirit of the Crusaders of the A.I.C. ' Mission Speakers appear at the A. I. C. Castle every month The first and second mission speakers have already been heralded They were the Reverend Stephen A. Levin of Oklahoma and the Reverend John N Dudine of Louis ville, Kentucky. November brought us the Reverend Felix N. Pitt, Diocesan Superintendent of Schools of the Archdiocese of Louisville. Father Pitt had spent several months in Spam hence he could give authentic and first-hand information of that country Of peculiar interest were his experiences in the trenches. These, he said, might seem entertaining now but they were anything but that when he lived through them. December 18, A.I.C. Castle had as guest speakers the Reverend August Fussenegger and the Reverend Charles Schoettelkotte from the Catholic Charities Bureau, Indian apolis. They told us of the vast opportunity for good in the field of social service aiding the needy, advising the wayfaring, patching up home difficulties reuniting broken homes-a genuine application of the principles of Christ's teaching and of the corporal A works of mercy. The first bugle notes of 1939 announced a member of the home Convent, now a mission ary in North Dakota--Sister M. Felicitas, one of the pioneer band to enter the Turtle Mountain Mission. Sister Felicitas was spending a vacation at the Mother house, and upon the request of our Moderator, she accepted the invitation to speak to the Crusaders at the January mission meeting. Sister related a number of mission experiences, and then told briefiy the daily routine of Saint Ann Indian Mission. February was to bring us a message from a Louisville missionary, Father Dudine champion of the Cause of the Negro. Father Dudine with two of his assistants, Fathers Bancroft and Maloney, came and brought with them fifteen knights and ladies of the Grail, boys and girls of their own parish, Saint Elisabeth's These knights and ladies had won a Grail selling contest and with it a trip to Saint Meinrad, Ferdinand and Santa Claus. The Ferdinand stop had to be curtailed, however, because of time shortage, so we did not get to hear Father Dudine, but we, Jiuuors especially feel highly honored because it was our privilege to entertain the kmghts and ladies of the Grail, and to serve lunch to the party.
