of Gideon, Israel's courageous leader, Elimelech and his wife, Naomi, with their two sons, were driven by hard times to leave their home in Judah and cross the Jordan, seeking better condi- tions in the land of Moab.
 Ten years passed, during which Elimelech died and the two sons, who married Moabitsh women, also died. The three widows were left, Naomi and her daughters in-law, Orpah and Ruth.
 
 The lot of the widows was hard and Naomi, hearing that times were better in Judah, decided to return to her own country. The daughters-in-law went with her to the border of the country and were determined to go on with their mother-in- law, though she urged them to return.
 Under her urging Orpha finally was induced to go back to her own people, but Ruth persisted in her determination and came to Judah with Naomi, with an ex- pression of loyalty and devotion that has become classic.
 Ruth thus is a type of woman of loyalty and devotion, as Na- omi is the typical woman of faith and courage. There must have been some remarkable quality in Naomi to have inspired such love and devotion as her daughters-in- law manifested after their hus- bands had been taken away. The remaining part of the story after the return to Judah is one, also, of the testing of the women. Life was not easy, but they met it's hardships with a spirit of courage and resourcefulness.
 The story has much deeper significance than appears on the surface, because this woman, Ruth, a Moabitess. was destined to be- come the great-grandmother of David, and thus an ancestress of Jesus who was of the lineage of David.
 The teaching and the life of Jesus mark Him as the Savior of the world. In everything signifi- cant He transcended his Jewish environment and nationality, but 1t is interesting to find, as we trace His antecedents, the linking of His life with a source outside of Palestine in a woman of such beautiful and noble character as Ruth, the Moabitess.
 Through the process of human history runs this stream of char acter in the good and the great.

LUNAR ECLIPSE
 OCCURS MONDAY
Spectacle Can Be Ob- served All Over States;
 Begins at ll:l5P. M.

With the night sky as a back ground, Mother Nature will offer Waterburians one of her rare shows Monday night when she presents the only total eclipse wis., ible in the United States this year. From 12:09 Tuesday morning (daylight time) until 1850 the moon will be completely covered by the shadow of the earth, and, if skies are clear, residents of the Brass City and surrounding towns will be able to study the phenm- enon as they please.
 The eclipse will begin at. 11:15 Monday night, when the shadow of the earth first begins to creep across the moon, and will last un- til 4:43,. when the moon will once again be entirely clear.
 It's great free show, and, with 10 admission charge, many usual early-ti-bedders will stay up to see the spectacle, while those who'd be up anyway can take time off to watch the eclipse.
 The total eclipse of the moon, visible all over the United States, will be studied carefully by as- tronomers in every state in the na- ton. With the moon the nearest celestial body to the earth, more is known about it than any other planet The eclipse of next week is xepected to reveal to scientists even more about the moon.
 Mondays eclipse is one of seven taking place this year. Five ecpils- es of the sun are listed for this year, three already having taken place, but being invisible here. The other eclipse of the moon took place Jan. 18th, but could not be seen in the United States.

Sacrament" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from I Cor inthians 10:31: Whether, there- fore, yet eat, or drink, or whatso- ever ye do, do all to the glory of God"
 Selections from the Bible include the following passages from He- brews 10: 19, 20, 22-24: Having therefor, brethren, boldness to en- ter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way. which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that Is to say, his flesh; .. Let us draw near with true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to pro- yoke unto love and to good works"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, 'Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 40, line 31: 'The nature of Christianity is peaceful and blessed, but in order to enter into the kingdom, the anchor of hope must be cast beyond the veil of matter into the Shekinah into which Jesus has passed before us: and this advance beyond matter must come through the joys and triumphs of the righteous as well as through their sorrows and af- flictions. Like our Master, we must depart from material sense into the spiritual sense of being"

CHASE SWIMMERS
 WIN CITY TITLE
Hamilton Park Teams De- feated in Novelty Bal=
 loon Race

Chase park natators pricked the bubble of confidence which the Hamilton swimmers were using for their balloon in the special novelty balloon race yesterday at Chase park for the city title. The West End splashers won both the junior and senior events without undue exertion although the score in the junior contest, 29-27, might indi- cate close race.
 The event was held under the direction of Joe Devine, Gene Kern, Jim Fryer and George Stankavich, swimming instructors at both pools.
 The Chase park junior team seemingly nipped the Hamilton ians, 29-27 in their contest while the seniors had an easy time with their opponents winning by 2S- IA count.
 Winners of the heats for first place were Petroccia GID. Plourde GO, Barkus co, Mcfarland GID. Talmont co, and Groot GID.
 The winner of the final for first place honors went to Plourde of Chase. The runner up for second place was Emil Mark of Hamil- ton.
 The senior heat winners for first place were S. Gray co, A. Povil- iatis co, r. Grisky co and Mar tino GID, the winner A. Proviliatis of Chase. Second place honors went to k. Smith of Hamilton.
 Trial heats will begin at the re- spective pools Monday in order to determine who will represent each park in the candlestick race which is the next feature race in the schedule.
 Winners in both parks will tangle on Friday at Chase park. The meet will be under the same guidance as wG syesterday's.
 Az their award in winning the title of champion balloon racers, the victors were given four juicy watermelons.

1 game. Naturally it is particularly interesting to those residents of the city who were born in coun- tries where it has remained for centuries one of the most popular of outdoor summer sports.
 Members of the club believe. however, that the enthusiasm with which young Americans hail any innovation in the world of sports will lead to its immediate adop- tion on the playgrounds and it is probably not the last word in ef- ficient construction but at least answering the purpose, will be built in every section of the city.
 Contrary to the general impress sion the game is not exactly for eign to America. Ton many persons the significance of the name Bow ling Green" the small park at the end of Broadway in New York city, Is lost, but 1t was on this very spot that the early Dutch Settlers in- troduced the sport to the new world. For some reason or other 1t suffered a decline in popularity with the passing fthe years in almost every country in the world except Great Britain.
 Even the dictionary places em- phasis upon this point. It is de- fined as ian ancient game, popular in, Great Britain, played with biased balls on plot of greens ward, the aim being to roll them near stationary ball called a jack"
 Tournaments with teams from other cities will be arranged fol- lowing the opening of the green here.

One of the most popular of the many charges against the federal relief system, growing, in recent weeks, more insistent and notice ably louder in volume, is that gov ernment support of needy persons is paralyzing ambition and initia- tive.
 Relief recipients, it is claimed. have become so softened by easy jobs On government payrolls that they no longer wish to accept pri- vate employment and are in fact lodging 1t whenever possible.
 What the situation is generally, of course, cannot be judged from information gleaned in any parti- cular city, but in Waterbury the problem of getting persons to &C.,

0. Explain the significance of the Jewish Bar Mitzvar" ceremony.
 A. In Jewish practice a boy, to the age of thirteen, is considered a child. In times rast, the father was, during those years of childhood, obliged to support him, to pro- vide for his education, mad to afford him the means of mas tering a profession or a trade. But at the age of thirteen the boy assumed religious duties and was considered an adult Jew. This change was symbo- lized by the sons putting on the Tefillin (phylacteries) and .n some congregations, also the Tallith (prayer shawl); and by his being counted to a Minyan (quorum). At the present time and especially in Western countries. the Bar Mitzvah age no longer marks the end of childhood and of parental responsibility. The re- ligious ceremony connected with it is hence entirely one for the strengthening of the boys allegiance to his faith and his people, and for the en- couraging of a mature ate titude toward religious duties. The ceremony and festivity is usually held on the Sabbath. even though the boys birth day may have occurred during the week. In the synagogue the boy iE called upon to pros noance the benediction over the Sculpture.

Q. Have Protestants always maintained the doctrine of the separation of church and state?
 A. In some of the. early colonies some form of Protes- tantism was the established religion, and in some of the states religious tests of var- ious kinds were applied to candidates for office. These were gradually abolished (an exception Is e New Hampshire statute requiring Protestant school teaehers). Today Pro- testants believe in the right of evrey man to worship God ace cordlng to tho dictates of his own conscience and in the sep- exatIoR of ehuxch and state.

 Naomi is presented in our les son as the typical woman of faith and courage.
 The story of Ruth and Naomi comes out of an ancient period of depression. Hard times have al- ways tested the souls of men and women. They have revealed the weaknesses of those who could get along pleasantly in prosperous times, and at the same time have revealed the latent and inherent strength of many whose heroic qualities and courage of endur- ance would never otherwise have been empsasized.
 The whole book of Ruth should be read in connection with the lesson. It telsl how in the days

Q marriage between Catn. ollie and a non- Catholic should be brought up as Catholics?
 A. The Catholics position is this: He believes that Christ is the incarnate Son of God; that He gave a new revelation to mankind; died for our re- demption; and established an organization, the Catholic Church. to perpetuate His teaching and to administer His means of grace, called Sacraments. Believing this, the Catholic is convinced that his faith is the most precious thing he has. And he feels an obligation to give this same faith to his children. Conse- quently. he cannot enter into marriage without an under standing that any children will be brought up as Catholics.
