bunch stood as a unit, and noth- ing could budge them. No, siree, they wouldn't change; hadn't they given their word to this or that man, and they would not desert him until properly released. You fellows, around today dabbling in politics have no idea of the fun we used to have in the old days. Think of this, this North End crowd of fellows elected three of their men to the chairmanship of the party, at least MT. Burns held down the job, and so did Tim Brennan. We think kitty" Flanagan had it, too, although we are not quite sure on that point. kitty" was the registrar of vOt- terS, of that we are convinced. We never met kitty" but we in- variably heard his name in con- nection with Waterbury politics of 2 past day. Even Johnny Crary learned his politics among these fellows. He was only a young fellow, but the older heads predicted his rise in future years, owing to his exceptional ability to predict results in advance of the election. Dan Dalton often de- clared such things in speaking of the present chairman of the democratic town committee.
 Daniel F. Dalton was 8 friendly man, 2 kind neighbor, a good churchman, 8 conslderate boss, and a citizen of the type that made the old fashioned North Ender look up to with pride and admiration. Everybody liked him for the good deeds he performed. We know that by reason of what we have heard others say.
 Old Out East joins in the ex- pressiOn of sorrow to the good old North End in its loss of this fine old time resident.
 And If the master mind" of the newspaper reporters of years ago, the genial and gifted Con- nie Hayes, were around today, what story he would have writ ten of Dan Dalton and his old friends of the north end. Connie, after all, was lone of the old gang" and knew them SO well.

Q. Why do religions differ? What is the Jewish view as to whether there can be more than one revealed religion?
 A. A Jewish viewpoint on this question is given by Prof. Samuel s. Cohon. He quotes the Jewish philosopher, Joseph Albo (l380- l444) as suggesting the answer The latter debates the question: Gan there be more than one revealed religion?" He argues that from the standpoint of God, the giver of law, only one relig- ion is possible. However. from the standpoint of the recipients of the law, there must be more than one, owing to the different geographic, economic and psychic factors which enter their lives.
 A religion suitable to Q group of people living in the desert may not it people who live on fer tile island. The differences be- tween one religion and the other will, therefore, consist not in their vital essence, which is the same for all men, but rather in the secondary elements which grow out of the local and temporal variations of the characters of the groups.
 Accordingly" Albo concludes, TWO revealed religions exist SiHn- ultaneously among two different peoples, each leading its adher- ants to human perfection or sal- vation, though in different ways. corresponding to the character of each religion"
 The principle laid down by AL bo, Prof, Cohon remarks, has come to be the foundation of all modern scientific study of relig- ligion.
 Q. Is not the lack of unity and external authority . weakness of Protestantism3
 A. Protestants believe in. the right and the abality of every man to seek and to find God for
 himself. i.e., In what is sor1e- times called the spiritual com petence of the individual soul.

 Varsity Fullback
 At the end of his sophomore year. Bill matriculated at the c. U School of Law and during the same fall he reported to Coach Jacl Hag- erty for a place in the Hoya back field. He was made a member of the squad and saw some service as a member of the pony backfleld" of that year. This was quite a feat after a layof of two years. During the 1885 season Bills merits were more fully recognized. Only for the fact that he was vieing for the same position as Co-captain Joe Meglen who received All-American men, tion as a fullback, Bill would have been a first-Stringer. As 1t was he played a stellar game whenever given the opportunity. In the spring of '36 there was a lot of talk about the current seasons back field, it was going to be fast, shifty; the new material was the goods; they'd produce an undefeated G. U. eleven. Now the backf1eld material is, on the whole, better than it has been for eight years. Still when the opening whistle blew for the Dela- ware game last Saturday, the full- back position for Georgetown was held down by young man feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 165 pounds, who by his excellent block ing and line defensive play proved to be a large factor in Georgetown's great victory-Bill Duff.
 Bill receives his LIB. from c. U. this year and hopes to practice law amid the scene of his former tri- umps, Waterbury, Conn. And if you know Bill Duff, you know he'll suc- ceed.

A previous lesson has told how to become 8 Christian. The theme of this lesson reveals how to win others to Christ.
 The sureSt evidence of ones own salvation Is the, passion to bring this experience to others. In all history, Paul has been perhaps the most conspicuous example of 2 man aflaine with evangelical real.
 The deepest passion in his bee ing was the passion to declare to others the truth that had come late into his own lise. but that had transformed his whole out look and given him Q new breadth of vision, a new joy, and a new conception of the meaning of love and righteousness as manifested tn Jesus and His teaching concerning the grace Of God.
 Here is Thessalonica, as in other cities where Paul went preaching, we find his new gospel making trouble for him, as religious big otry and prejudice play the role they unfortunately always have played in history.
 Why is 1t that religion and re- ligious faith, that ought to make men kind and gentle and forbear- ing, or considerste even of those whom they regard as their ene- mics, SO often drives men and women to fury when they feel that their faith is criticized or attacked If they have real faith, should 1t not give them confidence and save them from such disgracefl manifestation of mistaken zeal?
 
 In Thessalonica, the opponents oi Paul and 6ilas stirred up e riot against them, attacking the house of Jason, where they were lodged Dragging Jason and certain sym. pathetic brethren before the rulers of the city, they cried, These that

We didn't know him personally, but we did know him by the speech of the people. and conse- quently we have always felt In our own mind that we actually knew the late Daniel F. Dalton of the North End, almost as we'll as some of his closest of friends.
 Dan was truly Waterburian. And why shouldn't he have been? Wasn't he born here, and didn't he see the city grow from it's 50,000 of fifty years ago to double that number at the present time. For years, as Mayor Hayes ex- plained in his tribute to him, Dan was an active figure in the demo- cratic politics of the north end. Hardly 8 convention in the years gone by was held without Dan or some of his old pals being present as 8 representative of the old sec- ond ward. That district, which for many years elected Blue Bl0ods" or their selections to the board of aldermen was a "hot bed" in local politics. The cream always went to the republicans, but the democrats never let an election go by default. And in all of these battles, Dan Dalton was on hand and 8 willing worker for the democratic party. Let's look back and recall some of the old party workers of the North End, working hand in hand with Dan and the other ward lead- CTS. We think of kitty" Flana- gan, the beloved Tim Brennan, little Eddie Hardie, who worked alongside of Dan at the Ham, mond buckle plant on Brown street, the friendly John Millerick, John w. Burns, the well known John O'Brien, the baker, Tom Coyle, Jack Sayles, the far-seeing little Johnny LawlOr of Cooke street, Johnny Neagle, ''Edgy" Bowling, Frank Keeley, Frank Gallagher, Jimmy Burns, Henry Kennaugh, the friendly Hayes of Hill street, the Kirschbaums of Grove street and the mayors father, the late Thomas H. Hayes.
 As we have said, seldom it was you wouldn't find some of these
 names on the second ward demo- cratic ticket of years ago. The democrats, and the republicans, too, of this district took their politics most seriously in the old days. They were real dependents, in that if they said they would be here or there at . stated time, they never missed. They worked most earnestly for the men they favored in every election. They gave their time to a friend with out . whimper and spent their money freely in his behalf. That was the spirit and the custom of the old North End people we have mentioned.
 Why, say, time and again, old Out East met them in the con- vention hall and battIed them on the floor in the naming of . candidate fer the various offices of the town, city and school gov- ernnhenEs. That old North End

turned the world upside down are come hither also"
 What 8 remarkably prophetic word it wasl It is the work Of true Christianity, everywhere that 1t is manifest, to turn the world upside down. Or rather, perhaps, 1t ought to be put, to turn the forld right side up, for 1t is only the evil and imperfect things in the world that Christianity changes.
 The rulers of the city seem to have been reasonable men. When they had taken security from Jason, or, as we should say, made him give bond" they allowed the prisoners to go.n The situation, however, was so tense that 1t was deemed wise to send Paul an dSilas away by night.
 From Tessalonica the two mis- SionarieS went to Berea, where they to listen to their teaching, and where they continued for some time, daily examining the Scripture, and meditating upon the Gospal. From Thessalonica the two mis- sionaries went to Berea, where they found people more ready to listen to their teaching, and where they continued for some time, daily ex- arnining the Scriptures, and medi- tating upon the Gospel.
 In c letter to the Thessalonians. Paul refers later to these experi- ences in that city. He reminds the Christians of the labor and travail that had characterized his visit there to lay the Christian founda- tons.
 He suggests, also, how he had worked day and night at his own
 trade, that he might not be a burden to them in any way while he preached the Gospel.
 All that he had passed through there apparently had created in Paul'S mind very tender and af- fectionate feeling toward these Christians in Thessalonica. Possibly, also, the fact that, un- der conditions where the persecu- tion was so acute, only those who had 6 very sincere and determined response to the new faith would have accepted 1t. had made these Christians of Thessalonica so cut standing that Paul was drawn

Protestants are willing to pay the price of whatever lack of formal unity this principle may involve, believing that such free dom is to be preferred above a unity based upon uniformity in either vredeal statement or church policy. There are. however, forms of unity which leave intact such concientious differences and Protestants is constantly seeking them.
 Why are Catholics taught to study their prayer books and not the Bible?
 A. A Catholic spokesman ans- wers: Catholics are taught to use both their prayer books and the Bible. Far from forbidding or discouraging the reading of of the Bible, many popes have urged its frequent use. Popes Plus VI, Leo XIII and Benedict XIV were outstanding in their eff 1OEtS tO I1&VC LklC 6CAAPSuA 70 AAVAS V widely read and studied.
 Q. How did rosary beads come into use?
 A. The same Catholic spokes- man replies: As early as the twelfth Century the repetition of the Hall Mary" was a W Il cs- tablished custom in the nionas- tic orders. This preyer was sad 50 times, divided into sets of W with an "Our Father" separating each group. Thus we have the IS decades. To prevent distrac- tions 1t gradually become the fashion to tell of the prayers on a string of beads. The present practice of meditating upon the nystries of our redemption while repeating the prayers is of a la ter date.
 A strong tradition holds that the devotion of the rosary was first made popular by the great St. Dominic who preached t at the behest of the @Sessed Virgin Mary to combat in A peaceful manner the ravages of the AL bigensian heresy.
