■ communion
Wednesday
The all-school communion
will be held Wednesday at
10:30 p.m. This celebration
will consist of three parts:
confession, communion and
candlelighting, rather than the
regular order of worship for
communion.
The candlelighting is done
with all lights extinguished
except the altar candle from
which all other candles are
lit. Each person will light his
neighbor's candle until the
gymnasium is aglow with the
lights of hundreds of candles.
As the participants leave the
service, the candles are ex-tinguished
at the door.
Pastor Pete has extended
a special invitation to every-one
to attend this Christmas
communion because it is "a
very meaningful experience."
Underclass girls will not
have to take late leaves ill
order to attend the service.

With distinct clarity, Dr.
Schroeder placed an interroga-tive
doubt in the audience's
beliefs about the Japanese-

He challenged his attentive
audiences atall three sessions
with thoughts about Roose-velt's
America and the post-war
acts of the United States.
