JUNE PERMITS
 HIT S15S,O5O
Lower Than May, But Far Better Than June of
 I036

Altlnough the total value of build permits Issued during June at the office of Building Inspector Patrick J. Carlin is far less than the value of those Issued in May, the total is still far in advance when compared with the permits issued during the corresponding month last year.
 The total of all permits issued during June, 1887 is ei60,060 as compared with issuances of SloT,bb0 during May, 1887, or . decline of $o,600.
 Permits issued during June of last year only reached . low of SeS,07S.
 Value of permits for residential structures during June was eeA,00O, and included i6 one family houses, for 472,400; one two family house for S6,000; and alterations and additions to other homes fo the balance.
 Non-residential permits issued were valued at $74,060, including the largest of the month, for &32,- 900, involving an addition to the Sacred Heart convent. The greatest value of c building permit last month was for the municipal abba toir, S36,00o.
 During the past two months per- mits have been issued for the con- stfuction of 30 dwellings, and this compares favorably with the figure for the two corresponding months in 1886 when only a such permits were issued. Only one permit for the demolition of Q structure was issued during June, 1887.

Prosperity brings It's problems for races and nations as well as for individuals. The children of Israel, settled in Egypt where they had gone from their own famine-strick- en land to the help and protection of the powerful and illustrous Jo- seph, and an era of great pros" perity in their new home.
 How terse and powerful are the descriptions in the Biblel How could one convey within Q few words 50 complete a picture Of suc- cess and prosperity as is conveyed in the words that "the children Of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantiy, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty: and the land was filled with them"
 Just how long this continued is not clear, but about 300 years ap. parently elapsed from the time Of Joseph and the rise of this new dynasty with c king over Egypt "who knew not Joseph"
 Then began one or tne greht epi- sodes in the long history of anti- Semitic movements. With c swift ness similar to that in our own time with which the Jews have beer persecuted and married or driven from Germany, this new king aroused his subjects to racial pre- judice.
 With much the same motives and arguments as have been manifested in anti-Jewish movements Of oui own time, he pointed to the grow. ing power of these Jewish people and the danger that he believed they constituted in the state.

synagogue which means "aSsem- ply of the Lord. Tine word church" is derived from "syna- gogue' and came Into popular usage as the name of the Chris- tan house of worship because of It's use by the Apostle Paul In the New Testament; the Jews con. tinued to use the term synagogue.
 c. What is Catholic Action?
 A. A Catholic spokesman re. plies: Catholic Action consists in the participation of the Catholic laity in the Apostolate of the churchb hierarchy. Tine purpose of Catholic Action is the difiusion of Christ's kingdom among indi. viduals, in the family, and throughout society.
 Individual Catholics participat. ing in Catholic Actiop must begin by reforming their personal lives, seeking te sanctify themselves: then, by association with ofsicially appointed groups and orgafiiza. tons, they seek to spread chris- tian influence in society.
 Catholic ActiOn embraces A variety Of seed works, charitable, educational, social. economic, cul. tirsi; cflciai CathcIic Action has to have the express approvel of the Bishop Of the diocGae.

 The persistency and strength of the Jewish people, then as now, were manifest in theor continued growth despite their oppression, Bitterness and hard service could not destroy the spirit of that peo- pie. In their distress and grooming also. . new spirit began to move among them.
