 c. Are the Protestant Churches sponsoring the coop erative movement as presented by Kagawa?
 A. Toyohiko Kagawa, the noted Christian leader of Japan, tx receiving a great hearing from the Protestant forces of the nation az he challenges them with his message to the effect that Christianity and the co- operatives belong together. Re- Iigion supplies the dynamic, he k saying; the cooperativcs supply the technique whereby brotherhood can be worked out In action, KaRaWa SAYS that cooperatiyes are the love prin- ciplc in economic action.
 It cannot be said that the Protestant Churches are spon- soring cooperatives. The Social Ideals of the Churches, adopted by the Federal Council in l030. says that "thc churches should stand for .. encouragement Of c0operatives among farmers and other groups" The Church. es are studying the cooperative movement as never before. They are holding conferences and seminars on the subject. Minis ters gre visiting cooperatives. 4 small minority of ministers gre members of cooperativeg. It ap. pears that Kagawas visit will do much to stimulate the yeIis glous Ieadegg within ProtEstant- ism to take . greater interest in the cooperative movement than they have in the pact.

 SOUL" will be the subject of the Lesson.H Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 20: 1, {: Unto thee, o Lord, do I lift up my soul. Show me thy ways, o Lord; teach me thy paths."
 Selections from the Bible include the following (Matthew 22: sS.40): Then one of them, which was c lawyer, asked him Q question, tempt. ing him, and says, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with oil thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with oil thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto 1t, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. on these two commandments hang all the law of the prophets"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scripture" by Mary Baker Eddy, ins clude the following citation from page 9, line l7: "Dost thou love the Lord thy God with ell thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind'? This command includes much, even the surrender Of alI merely material sensation, affection, and worship. This is the III Dorado of Christianity. It involves the eci- ence of Life, and recognizes only the divine control of Spirit, In which Soul is our master, and material sense and human will have no place."

Postmaster Issues
 Warning On R. ED.
Mail Delivery Will Be Discontinued Unless Snow Is
 Removed From Vicinity of Boxes

Waterburians living along rural free delivery routes must keep the area about their mall boxes clear of snow or they will not have any mall delivered to them, declares Postmaster Charles M. Babin in Q notice sent out to oil rural patrons today. The rule went into effect today, the postmaster said. and will be adhered to rigidly for the re- mainder of the winter.
 During the past month, carriers on R. F. D. routes have found that many boxes along their routes have been surrounded by many feet Of snow. Unable to get their cars alongside the boxes, they have had to stop some distance away and wade through snow to get to the boxes. Hereafter, if carrier sees e box surrounded by snow, he VIII not even stop but will go on to the next box. The mall addressed to

 we had to announce that this ruling would be enforced" Post- master Babin said today, Tor our entire rural free delivery system would be disrupted. The carriers have had to work harder than ever on these routes during the past month, and the situation has be- come 50 bad that we just had to tell those on R. r. D. routes that their mail won't be delivered un- less their boxes are kept unobstruct- cd"
 Postol regulations call for the area about every mail box to Dc clear and unobstructed. The carrier is supposed to be able to deposit mail In q box without leaving his con- veyance.
 Not all the violations of the reg ulation are intentional, the post master said. He cited several cases of patrons living along the state highways, who shovelled the area about their mail boxes after every snow fall, only to have the state highway department blows come along and push the snow right back in again.

HARVARD, YALE
 MEET AT HOCKEY

Boston, Feb. 15--(UP)-Harvard and Yale meet in the first game Of their 37th annual hockey series at Boston Garden tonight with both teams regarded as evenly matched. The outcome of the game will also have an important bearing in the Ivy League standing.
 Yale has won the series since 1883.
 While Yale has the smoother team play, it was expected this would cb offset by Harvards super for individual strength.
 Late injuries have necessitated changes in both lineups, Mike Hovenanian shifting to left wing in Harvard's third line in place of Leo Ecker who is out with broken leg. while Ben Hallowell replaces Hovenanian. In the Yale lineup, Edmund Pillsbury, 6 regular wing, will start at left defense in place of Lyndon Wilson.

- Weekly Sunday School Lesson - Jesus Helps a Doubter

questioned made no bombastic claiins and gave no ifisistent asslr- ances. He told the disciples of John to 70 and report the things that they had seen and heard, that the blind were receiving sight. the lame were walking, lepers were being cleansed, that this Teacher was doe ing other wonderful works, and, above ell, that the poor were hear. ing the preaching of good tidings.
 if Jesus had wished to impress John other than by the reality of
 His teaching and His works, He might in the hearing of these diss cipies have expressed Ills great euiogy of the prophet of the VII. derness.
 Ne waited, however, until the messengers of John had gone away, and then He gave the great eulogy of John the Baptist which stands boldly'in the Christian narrative and in ail the records of heroic life and character as an outstanding descrip- ton of . great man, shortly to be martyred for tho sake of truth and righteousness.
 We should, perhaps, not forget that this was ono young prophets tribute of Johns life, the picture that we have of him in his rough gar ments and long hair. tend to make us forget that he was not on old man, but c very young man.
 Christianity began @ . youth movement. There was something about it that was earnest, inapetu' ois, determined.
 It was Q movement not by SlaeE of doubt, but by men of conviction and men of doubt found their con victions of faith developing as theS came face to face with Jesus alit realised what manner of men N was.

Text: Luke 7:i9-2s The International Uniform Sun. day School Lesson for Feb. 10. Rv WM. E. (sILROY. D, D.


 Editor of Advance
 When a preacher or c teacher or. rives in any community, almost in. evitably question arises concerning him. Those who sense anything new or dangerous in his teaching are apt to be aroused, while those who are looking for some new emphasis on truth and righteousness regard him with hope.
 It was 50 with Jesus. the Great Teacher, and particularly true ol Him because He came to the world at Q time when devout Jews were locking earnestly for the prophcsied Messiah and deliverer.
 John the Baptist might have aroused such questioning. However, John was ingistent from the first that he was not the Messiah but only 6 voice crying in the wilder ness. preparing the way for the one greater than himself.
 John had been cast into prison, and there had come to him the namc and the fame of Jesus. He was iEli- mediateiy aroused. Was this man whose wonderful works were re- ported the Messiah for whom they were looking, or was he to be added to the number who ha dalready pro- fessed Messiahship, only to disap- point the trustfuls
 John took the very direct course of sending two of his disciples to Jesus himself with the question. "Art thou IIe that coneth, or iqock we for anothcr?" We must not eup- pose that John was creduious enough to take merely the assurance for satisfaction, but we iz1sy suppose rather tilst he would draw his own cOnclusions from the nature Of the answer that Jesus would give.
 
 The answer brought hy his dis- cipies must have impressed John ct oglcs. The Teacher whom he had

Q. Why do Catholics fast be- fore receiving Communion?

4. A Catholic authority an- Awers: Catholics do not eat or drink anything after midnight, before they receive Communion, out of reverence to our Lord, for as St. Augustine said: "It has pleased the Holy Spirit that, in honor of 50 great c Sacrament, The Body of the Lord should pass Christian lips before other food; for this reason that GUS tom is observed throughout the whole year." (Epis. CXVIII,O. Tertullian mentions fasting Communion about the year 200 (Ad Uxorem, II, O.
 The present law (Canon 852) requires Catholics to be fasting from midnight, unless they are in danger Of death, or must re- ceive Communion to prevent ir- reverence toward the Blessed Sacrament, as might happen were 6 church on fire or in danger of proclamation. Plus x, on December 2. 1906, exempted from this obligation Catholics sick abed for . month without hope of recovery. They are per- mitted to receive Communion once or twice q week as their c0nfcssor advises.
