An idea of the bulk of business done by this branch of the postoff1ce department may be gathered from the following figures: total poundage of air mail in 1881 was e,579, ,422 pounds and the government, in rev. enue received no less than $6,2l0,- 344.86 for this amount of mail moved through space. Air mail service is also making great progress in regard to foreign service.
 Use Air Mail
 Much of the mail which goes out of Waterbury reaches its designa- tion by way of air mail. This is par ticularly true of the mail sent by local manufacturing companies. Tables have been prepared by Ed ward Fitzgerald. and MT. Babin, which show the differences in time between Waterbury and the 189 air mail stations located throughout the country.
 Time Difference
 A schedule of the larger towns shows that there is a considerable difference between train and air mail time for deliveries. The follow ing list shows that very adequately:

lopedia says: Moreover the way in which the custom of abtain- ing on Saturday originated in the Roman church is a striking evidence of the early institution of Friday as an abstinence day."
 o. Who was the pope when this fast edict went into effect?
 A. Pope Nicholas I (858-86D declares "that abstinence from flesh meat is enjoined on Fri days" There is every reason to conjecture that Innocent III (119S-12l6) had the existence of this law in mind when he said that this obligation is suppressed as often as Christmas falls on Friday" Catholic Encyclo- pedia, p. 68 Catholics are ex- cused from abStaining from meat on Friday when 8 great feast. such as Christmas falls on that day of the week. It should be noted that refraining from eat- ing flesh meat on Friday is cor rectly described as abstinence, whereas the word fast" is used to describe a limitationf in the number of meals and the quan- tity of food taken in @ day.
 Q. Has Judaism any teaching analogous to the Christian prin- ciple of repaying evil with good?
 A. A Jewish authority re- plies: "Thou shalt not take ven- geance or bear any grudge against the children of thy peo- pie, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," is the gold- en rule of Judaism. By neigh bor' is meant everyone with whom we come into contact. Ac- cording to Jewish teaching right eous conduct is characterized by a spirit of mutual helpfulness and generosity, of patience and forbearance, by readiness to judge others from a favorable point of view. And this for bearance should extend even to those who are our enemies. They may be enemies, but they are still human beings, with the rights and feelings of human beings.
 Nothing is clearer in Judaism than the injunction to see that our enemies receive justice, and that their property and their welfare receive as much consid- eration as our own. Judaism re- gards the seeking of revenge as a lowering of character, de- scent to the level of the very things which he ourselves de- test. It sees true strength in the ability to win over ones enemies by acts of kindess, to turn hatred into friendship and strife into peace.

What Lord Macaulay Wrote

"There is not, and there never was, a work of human policy so well deserving of examination as the Ro- man Catholic church. The proud est royal houses are but of yester- day when compared with the line of the Supreme Pontiffs. The re- public of Venice was modern when compared with the Papacy, and the republic of Venice is gone and the Papacy remains full of life and youthful vigor. The Catholic church saw the commencements of all the governments and all the eccleSiaS- tical establishments that now exist in the world, and we feel no assur- ance that she is not destined to see the end of them all" Extracts from Lord Macaulays Essay on Ranke's History of the Popes.)
 What Gladstone Said
 "The Catholic church has march cd for 1900 years at the head of civilization. Her greatness, glory grandeur and majesty have been almost, though not absolutely, all that in these respects the world has had to boast of. Her children are more numerous than all the mem- bers of the sects combined. Her al- tars are raised in every cline and her missionaries are wherever there are souls to be saved. And this wOndrOuS church, as old as Chris tianity, as universal as mankind, is today, after twenty centuries, as fresh, as vigorous and as faithful as on the day when the Pentecostal fires were shOwered upon the earth" (FrOm Gladstone's speech against the law excluding Catholics from the Lord Chancellorship of England.)
 HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY BUT MY WORD WILL NOT PASS AWAY"
 Matt. XXIV. 35.
 Many Catholic historians of today, after honest research into the past, are now declaring that many of the accusations against the Catholic church are pure fabrica- tions, and were concocted only for false propagation purposes. True Knowledge of all things Catholic is open to everybody at all times. II is to give you this true knowledge ln a simple and easy way, that our society has been formed. Please take advantage of our offer and write us for explanations of any, thing Catholic.

Q. Explain the difference be- tween the Faith and Order and Life and Work movements in the Protestant church.
 A. The Universal Christian Council for Life and Work was established after the 1925 Stock holm Conference in order to make it possible for the churches of the world to coop crate in the practical application of Christianity to such problems as arise between the nations, races and classes. It will best be understood as the expression on a world scale of the idea of fed- eration, which is familiar to many people in cities, states and nations. Its constituent parts are the united bodies of the churches in the various nations. It is natural to have the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America, representing twenty-three denomi n tionS. form the link between the Uni- versal Christian Council and American church life.
 The World Conference on Faith and Order is made up of delegates of most non-Roman churches. It is solely concerned with clearing up the difficulties in the way of organic union. These include theological prob- lens and problems of church government. When this work has been completed it will then be for the churches composing the conference to continue to find ways of merging into a more united church throughout the world. Fifty-five mergers have been considered since the last world conference at Lausanne in 1927. Many have been consum- mated.
 0. Why do Catholics fast from meat on Friday?
 A. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, From the dawn of Christianity, Friday has been signalized as an abstinence day, in order to do homage to the memory of Christ suffering and dying on that day of the week"
 o. For how long have they done SO?
 A. So many mentions of the Friday abstinence are found in the writings of early theologians and other writers that it ape pears the custom has been fol- lowed since apostolic times. The practice is mentioned by Cler1- ent of Alexandria (died about 2l5), a Greek theologiari, and by Tertullian thcrn about 1e0), an ecclesiastical writer living !A Carthage. The Catholic Encyc-

BY VIM E. GILROY, DID. Editor of Advance

The story of Joseph reaches its highest point in the interview of Judah, the eldest son of Jacob, with his brother, Joseph, who was now, my lord," and the most powerful man in Egypt, though unknown to Judah as the brother who years be- fore had been sold into Egypt.
 Judah, as matter of fact, had a great deal to do with Joseph's being in Egypt. When Joseph's brethren had thrown him into the pit and intended to abandon him there, Judah had seen the caravan coming, and proposed, rather, that they should sell Joseph to this cara van going into Egypt.
 It seemed like merciful propo- sal in comparison to the abandon ing of Joseph to a cruel fate in the pit, and some readers have supposed that JudahS motive was merciful, though he spoke of profit, so that he might influence his brothers.
 At any rate, Judah had played a strange part in fate, and fate was playing a strange part now; for Jo- seph, who was in Egypt by his act, was now the man of power before whom Judah was cringing with fear and SubServience.
 Assuming that Judah was not wholly bad, and may have developed in character during the years, one sees him in a favorable light in the episode, apart from his fear and cringing.
 If he had sold Joseph into Egypt. he was now not willing to leave Benjamin there. He makes plea concerning his fathers old age. and
