 The International Uniform Sun. day School Lesson for March 10 BY VIM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance The titles of this lesson are in teresting and significant. The gen. eral title, Peter Breaches to Gen. tiles," based upon the text of the lesson, is changed for titles based more up it's application in its refer ence to intermediate and senior groups, and to young people and adults.
 The intermediate and senior topic is "The Gospel for AL" and the topic for young people and adults is Overcoming Racial and National Prejudices." The truth that God is no re- spector of persons would seem to be written all over the New Tes- lament and to be inherent in the gospel of grace that Jesus gave to men.
 To believe that God is a being wh is arbitrary in his judgments, whose grace is moved with con- alterations of preference for man of one color above another, or for a man of one race or nation above another, would be to destroy the greatness of God and make him a creature of biases and prejudices.
 The impartiality of Gods judg- ments is a condition of the integ- rity and righteousness of his judg- ments.
 Yet even among religious peo- pie few prejudices are harder to overcome than the prejudices of color, race, and national allegiance. Peter was no exception.
 
 Despite the fact that he had left all things to follow Jesus and was concerned about the salvation of men, the iRStinctive, or developed, prejudices }of Peter's religious training and environment came immediately into prominence as soon as there was time of testing. He was accustomed to think of Jews as a preferred and chosen people who had sort of monopoly in religious privilege and truth.
 When he found the Gospel hav- ing the same effect upon Gentiles that it had upon Jews, and Gen tiles becoming interested in the power of the Gospel, he was frank ly embarrassed. He did not know what to make of it.
 It required a vision from heaven with great clearness of application to shake Peter out of his preju- dices; and he was compelled to recognize that what God had cleansed was neither common nor unclean.
 The one fine thing about Peter was that once he really perceived a thing. he was very bold and de- cisive in acknowledging it.
 His vision might become again shadowed or confused, and he might lapse from his high mo- ments, but his. impulsiveness led him to frank avowal of his own narrowness and his own error when he perceived larger and nobler way.
 It was the experience of large contacts and larger outlook in re- ligion that changed Peter. That, after all, is the way in which most people are changed. We find it easy to be narrow and prejudiced be- cause our religious experience is so small.

gation to hear mass is not satisfied unless the worship per is physical part of the congregation and a participant by means of his senses in the various stages of the mass. Therefore, 1t is not enough to listen to the broadcasting of mass over the ardio. Attend ance in church is necessary to fulfill the obligation. The term nearing mass" means physical attendance at the holy sacrifice.
 Q. Have Protestants always stood for the complete se9,- aratiOn of church and state and Catholics opposed 1t?
 A. The feeling exists among Potestants today that Cathe- lies all along the line have op- posed the separation of church and state while Protestants have consistently championed it. Maryland history contra diets this. While Maryland was controlled by Catholics, it gained the distinction of maintaining a civil society from 1884 to 1649 without an incident of persecution or prosecution of any individual or sect because of religious belief or lack of it. George and Cecil Calvert were sim cere Roman Catholics who, with their Colonial followers, were in advance of their time in their attachment to the principle of religious liberty. Thus, Catholics are among those who prepared the way for the thought and action of Thomas Jefferson. James Mad- ison and the earnest minority of Colonial Americans who fought successfully for per- manent constitutional guaran- tees of religious liberty in this country. ~
 Only in recent times has the idea of the separation of church and state been gener- ally accepted by American Protestants. In early Colonial times. Protestants in several of the colonies insisted Ihat no one could be a voter and have the full right of citizenship uri- less he was a member of the Protestant church which dom- mated that particular colony. ll

---Weekly Sunday School Lesson--- Peter Breaches To Gentiles

1 Illus and other Gentiles could have the same sort of experience in re- Iigion that he had himself, he was forced to realize that the Gospel was something larger and deeper than he had conceived it to be. If we meet our fellowmen sym | pathetically and on a wide range, the one surprising thing will be the the discovery how much of noble character rich experience, and fine attitude and outlook are found in men and women of all races and colors and nations.
 It is through the discovery of this, and through the sharing everywhere in, the world of the things that are fine and true, that we must hope for progress in the battering down of the barriers of hate and prejudices and misunder- standing.
 The essence of the Gospel, if men would preach it and live it, is this attitude of heart and life that is in harmony with the grace of God. and that is as impartial and all-reaching in it's manifesto tions as the love of God.

 According to the Book of Esther Ahasuerus, the king of Persia and Media, had deposed his queer Vashti and chosen Esther, beau tiful Jewish orphan, for his new queen. About the same time, King Ahasuerus likewise had raised his general, Haman, to the position 0i prime minister. Haman had had a dispute with Mordecai, cousir of Queen Esther, and he made his private quarrel a basis of hatred against the entire Jewish people.
 One day Haman sat in council with King Ahasuerus. When Ha- man saw that the king was pleased with his advice, he brought charg- es against the Jewish people li.y- ing in Persia, falsely accusing them of being a turbulent, rebelhous people, inclined to disloyalty, but without mentioning the name oi the people. The king was dis turbed. Haman promised to bring 10000 silver talents into the royal coffers for permission to exter' minute this group. And withou, knowing the name of the people King Ahasuerus granted to Hannah power to confiscate their property and to exterminate the Jews with in his dominions.
 At Mordecai's suggestion and at great personal risk Esther came unbidden into the kings presence and invited him and Haman to dine with her on two successive evenings. The king agreed. Ha- man was overjoyed.
 At the second feast, Esther told the king of Haman's trickery and said it was her own people that Haman sought to destroy. The king became furious, and ordered Haman to be hanged on the gibbct that, in anticipation, he had pre- pared for Mordecai. The decree of Ahasuerus permitting the extcr- imitation of the Jews could not, ac- cording to the laws of the Medes and Persians, be recalled. But the king issued a proclamation giving the Jews of Persia permission to organize for self-defense, and they fought and routed their attackers.
 To commemorate this deliver- ance from the hands of Haman, the Jewish people established the fourteenth of the month Adar as a day "of feasting and joy, and of sending presents one to another and gifts to the poor" The festival typifies the false accusations made against Jews in every generation. It's chief message, however, is that 1t recalls the triumphs of the Jew ish people over injustice and tyr amy.

Q. What Is the difference between the Kiddush and the Kaddish in the Jewish liturgy?
 A. The names of both of these Jewish rites derive from the same Hebrew root mean ing to sanctify. The Kiddush has come to apply exclusively to the ceremony of the wine cup observed in the synagogue at the Friday evening service and in the home before the meal. The distinguishing. sen- tence in this prayer is. Blessed art Thou o Lord. God, who has created the grape of the vine." The Kad- dish is longer prayer writ ten in Aramaic, dialect of Hebrew. It is a doxology and was originally used on many occasions of Thanksgiving. It is read with slight variations three or four different times in the course. of the regular daily orthodox service. It was later used at the burial rites and in the memorial service read by mourners. The Kaddish is now almost com pletely identified as the prayer for the dead and is recited by mourners at the end of the service in the Reform Temples. The prayer does not directly mention the dead, however.
 Q. As Catholic l was taught to hear mass on Sum- day and have often read that not to hear mass would be a mortal sin. There are Cath ollie services or a mass over the radio on Sunday. Would it be enough to listen to the radio or must one go, to church? I've never heard 1t said one must see 8 mass.
 A. Father Edward Lodge Curran of Brooklyn, N. Y., answers as follows: The obli- gation imposed upon every Catholic to hear mass means attendance at mass. that is, a physical participation in the ceremonies and activities of the great sac~.fice wfsch Christ Instituted at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday to be the unbloody replica of his bloody sacrifice on Calvary, The obli-
