munity room will be a coffee bar
for officers of the bank and an- ’
other for employes. Completing
the second floor layout will be
lounge rooms for both women
and men and a large storage area
for the bank’s records.
The building will be fireproof
throughout and will be one of
the most modern and attractive
bank buildings in the state.
The new vault will have 18-
inch reinforced walls with a 17-
inch reinforced door weighing
36,000 pounds. It is constructed
so that it would be impossible to
drill through the door. It will
contain three separate time locks
and the main vault will be
equipped with a ventilator.
Frank Morris, Jr., president;
and Claude Jones, executive vice
president, emphasized that the
new building was made possible
through the loyalty and devotion
of customers through the
years. "It took 50 years to build
a bank but it will only take six
months to build a building,” they
asserted. “Fine buildings don’t ■
make banks, but thoughtful and
useful service to the community
does.”
Beginning Tuesday the bank e
will conduct its business in the

structure is completed.

At the east end of the ground

equipped with modern folding
doors that can be opened and
the offices converted into a large
meeting room. Adjoining the pri-
vate offices will be four officers’
desks.
The seven tellers cages will ex-
tend the entire length of the spa-
cious lobby. A sub-lobby for
customers calling for bank state-
ments will be located at the west
end of the cages. In the sub-
lobby will be a unique section
especially constructed for chil-
dren. A special banking window
and children’s desks and seats
will be provided in the area.
The bank’s bookkeeping de-
partment will be west of the
sub-lobby.
Another added feature for cus-

of the building. Patrons may ob-

The church bells are ringing and

But not "Pop”. He seems to
think that "keeping the Lord’s Day
holy” is all right for the children.
For Pop himself, though, it is his
day of rest..."it even says so in
the Bible.” Besides, he will insist,
he "is better than some people who
go to church regularly.”
Not all "Pops” are like this, of
course. But empty pews in count-
less churches bear witness to the
numerous fathers .. . and mothers
also .. . who are either indifferent
concerning their obligation to wor-
ship God, or confused as to how
they should do so.
There is confusion, in fact, even
among those who recognize this
obligation. Some Christians insist
that the Sabbath (Saturday) is the
day to be kept holy, as do Ortho-
dox Jews. In this they are follow-
ing the literal meaning of the Law
of Moses and ignoring the practice
of the Christian Church from
Apostolic times, as sanctioned by
Jesus Christ.
Our Lord Himself substituted
the New Covenant for the Old,
abrogating the law which made
the Sabbath observance obligatory.
Sunday became The Lord’s Day of
the Christians even during the
lifetime of the Apostles. After
several centuries, it became a
world-wide law of the Church,
which Christ had authorized to
make laws.
There is also confusion as to
what constitutes "keeping The
Lord’s Day holy.” Catholics, for
instance, must assist at Mass, or
The Lord’s Supper, under penalty

of serious sin. Many other Chris-
tians also place great importance
on unfailing participation in Sun-
day worship. But many think going
to church, while a "nice thing to
do,” is not absolutely necessary.
Christian opinion also varies con-
cerning what work, and what
pleasure, are permissible on The
Lord’s Day.
Even though you are not a
Catholic.., and perhaps never in-
tend to be ... it will be inspiring
and valuable for you to learn the
Catholic teaching and practice
concerning The Lord’s Day. For
these teachings and practice date
back to Apostolic times and have
