Q. Why did the priests have
money changers in the temple
and what kind Of money did
they change? (Mat. sl;lS; John
Q, 14.lS.)
A. Since many Of the wor-
shippers, Jews Of the Dispersion,
came from distant lands and
had only heithen money, which
was reckoned unclean, they
needed to exchange 1t into jew
ish currency before they could
purchase their offerings. So the
money changers with their cash
boxes were there charging their
percentage. Moreover, every
adult Israelite, rich or poor, had
to pay an annual tax Of half q
shekel TO the temple revenue. OF
the cattle market In the temple
enclosure Dr.. David Smith, In
days Of His Flesh writes, "Os-
tensihly for the convenience OF
the worshippers but really for
their own enrichment they (the
priests) had instituted. Q cattle
market in the sacred court. II
was an astute but diegraceful
trick, securing them both price
and purchase, since the victims
which they sold in the court
were presently returned 70 them
at the altar"

spread devotion Catholics have
for 90. Anthony? Give q brief
account Of his llze.
A. st. Anthony Is revered by

st. Anthony Is O Greek Life at

ton of the country. In considering
these important questions, the COM
mittee kept in mind that this is a
longtime program, and any chang
es In farming practices must be
made with the idea of balancing
production to market demands in
the future. In order that these
questions and problems may be
placed before farmers and business
men in the county for further con

meetings will be held under the
auspices Of this county committee

who is interested in agriculture will

entation of facts relatives to the

MOTHERHOOD RIGHT WON

San Francisco.-SchOol boards
In California may regulate the
length of a teachers skirt, or tell
her how to dress her hair, but they
are abusing their discretion" IL
they tell her as a married woman
that she must not have a baby.
Such, In effect, Is the ruling of
q. S. Webb, state attorney general,
whose opinion was asked when Hol-
lister high school trustees dismissed
a teacher when she became a
mother.
"SInce the legislature has ap-
proved the employment of married
teachers" Webb said, sit must be
deemed to have approved the natu-
raj consequences of marriage"
The teacher, not named in the
opinion, had taught in the Hollis
ter high school for several years.
She signed her contract for the
1856 term and then requested a
leave of absence, explaining she
was an expectant mother.
The high school trustees refused
the request, and when the baby
was born dismissed the woman and
hired another teacher.
