WANTED--A JOB--ANY KIND OF WORKING LIMIT TO HOURS-NO PAY WILL BE ACCEPTED

Who in the world would seek a job like this?
 Hundreds do every yearl Hun rdredS of splendid, intelligent, edu- cated young women--some from our very finest fainilies-are applying for just such jobs in the great Cath olic sisterhood.
 "The poor ye have always with you," said our Lord: and in Gods scheme of things, He has called to the service of his beloved poor, the very flower of womanhood.
 Tn this country alone there are more than 100000 humble, holy women, joined by the common VOW Of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience Some of them teach in convent and parochiai schools. Others care for impoverished old folks and orphans. Some nurse in hospitals, in homes for cancerotis pauperS, in leper cole onies and midst shot and shell on the battlefeldg. Still others go about begging ct restaurants, aaotels and other places for leftover foods and scraps from plates with which to feed the hungry, making their own meals from the remnants left by their charges.
 There is no work too difflcult, too menial, too revolting for these angels on earth to gladly undertake for God through his poor, regard- less of race, color or creed. And they earn no money. They possess no earthly thing--not even the clothes they wear. Yet the Catholic Sister is ever-smiling, ever-happy, because she is the Bride of Christ" and in ali things His will is her will.

|TO-BE-MADE LISTS VETOED
General Assembly May Get Request to Eliminate
 Election Requisite

- Abolition of the to-be-made list has been recommended to the state legislative council, and the council is expected to present to the next General Assembly various changes in the election, laws making such an improvement possible.
 John D. ThoHns of this city, secre- tary of the council, recently sent queries to Registrars of Voters all over the state. Virtually all declared they were in favor of steps to abol- ish the to-be-made list of voters.
 The registrars assert that the to- be-made lists must be prepared at times when they and their assis- tants are busily engaged in getting voting lists ready for election. This causes them great delay, they say, and brings considerable extra ex@ per7Ae sO their communities.

By VIM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance

The moral issue in the drink prob- lem, which is the theme of this les- son for International Temperance Sunday, is strongly emphasized at this time.
 At one time 1t was the eco- homie issue that was empha- sized. This was true when the country was at war and every available source of economic wealth was necessary. The coun- try then was strongly aroused to the matter of economic waste through drink, both by the loss of man power through the effect of ale cohol on human life, and by the waste of food stuffs in the nnanu- facture of liquor.
 It was then seen quite clearly that alcohol could confer no ben eft upon individuals or nations, but that 1t might mean e very real eco- homie loss.
 This economic issue was also em- phasiSed in the days of the coun- try'S prosperity when, broadly speaking, there was c place and need for every mans labor, and when those who were incapacitated through drink slowed down the pro. cess of production.
 When an artificial prosperity gave piacA to an artificial denression. when jobs were as scarce as they had been plentiful, and labor was cheap and unneeded, the economic argument against liquor lost much of its practical bearing. There was period also when the legal issue was emphasized in relation to liquor. Prohibition was the law of the land, and those who trafiicked in liquor were law break. CTS. At that time the tendency was to put much of the stress upon the duty of the citizen as @ citizen, to uphold the law and the Constitu- ton.
 The argument did not have much weight with those who wished to drink, and with those who were willing to engage in crime for the sake of profit and the indulgence of appetite. That legal argument has gone out with the repeal of pro- hibition.
 Now once more we are face to face with the moral issue as the chief issue. There ought never to have been any weakening of the moral emphasis, though 1t should also be realized that the moral em- phasis Is not the only emphasis. That the prevailing sentiment in favor of total abstinence has weak ened does not at all mean that ale holic liquor is less the foe of hue manity than 1t ever was. Alcohol has still the power to destroy men and to weaken their efiiciency eco- nomicaliy, morally, and in every

N Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, 'science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Divine Love corrects and governs man.

0. What were the pseudo Messiahs in Jewish history?

Messiahs i'm Jewish history?
 A. These were false Messiahs; persons who claimed that they we're the divinely appointed re- deemers of Israel, who would restore the Jews to palentine. Some of them, actuated by mys- tical speculationg, resorted to acts of piety whereby they ex- pected to bring about the rnirac- ylous intervention of God on be- half of Israel. Others employed more practical means of armed force or political schemes. Some of them were quite sincere in the:r ambitions, actually believ- ing that they were the desig- mated saviors of their people. Others were ilnposters who took advantage of the credulity of the people for their own ag- grandizement.
 Tn most cases these phenom- ena were confined to certain places, although in c few inc stances the movements attracted Jews of many lands. The re- suits of these ventures were ip- variably disastrous, bringing woe and misery to the people from the rulers of the lands in which they lived, and bitter disap- pointmentS to the deluded fol- lowers of the false Messiahs.
 The pseudo-M Messiahs usually made their appearance ct times of great misery and persecution.
 Q. When was the Bible first translated into the English tongue?
 A. Portions of the Bible were translated ct Q very early date. Caedmon of Whitley set some of the stories of the Bible into po- etc paraphrase as early as 670

A. D. A little later, about 700 A. D., Aldheln, bishop of Sher- borne, prepared . version of the Psalms partly in prose and partly in verse.
 The best-known Christian scholar of that age was Hede, 6 monk of Yarrow- -on-t the Tyne, who died in 736 A. D. The last book of his version of the Bible to be translated was the Fourth Gospel. King Aldred and Ael- fric of Peterborough are among translators of portions of the Bible into the speech then spoken in Britain before 1000 A.. D. To these in the fourteenth century must be added the translation of John Wyclif.
 After the invention of print ing (1455) James Tyndale pulp lished two editions of the New Testament. Miles Coverdale published the first complete Bible in the English language about 1535. It was printed on the continent, but seems to have won the favor of the authorities, including the King, Thomas Cromwell and Bishop Crammer.
