q. How far should Pr0testants tolerate ideas definitely contra dlctory to their own?
 A. Dr. Ernest Fremont Title, well known Methodist minister, answers: I have no fear for the fate of truth in the realm of rec ligicu. I would grant absolute freedom to believe anything about God that anybody wants to believe. I have enough ccnfi-, dence in truth to assume that tn the end, a high idea of God will win. }n
 when 1t comes to our, com. munistic brethren. # they should B deny us the freedom which they are now exercising, that is e. situation much more difncult to deal with. I. myself. do not he. lieve in absolute freedom. l think we are all prepared to draw the line somewhere. We draw at different places. Isdraw mine at murder. When anybody advocates murder, whether on 2 small scAle e . large scale, I draw the line. I can't let him say anything he wants to. To me. 2 war is murder. I heard General smedley Butler say that 4 you go out and kill olae man you are c murderaE. but if you kill from ten TSea Up gou are a holy crusader. I think if you kih, ycsi murder.

The new prohibition crusade program will be outlined emphati- cally next Tuesday evening when Dr. D. Leigh COlvin of New York makes his first appearance here at tho First Methodist Episcopal church. One of the most militant men in the defense of national prohibition, Dr. COlvin will out line the plans of his organization to all interested Waterburians.
 Dr. COlvin's fitness for the kind of work he is doing Is we'll known. He has probably spent more years in post graduate study of gov ernmental and economic problems than most men in public life. He has spoken in every state in the union and 1t Is expected that a large crowd will turn out at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening to hear this well known prohibition ist.

 The lane will be open here on week days between the hours of 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. Although more than 30,000 cars were inspected here in the first period, the second period quota is only 28,000.

to the Body of the Son of God and offered daily to every Catholic in Holy Communion.
 This Is God, himself, to revere Whom the Catholic bends his knee before the altar and doffs his hat before the church door. This is the Holy Eucharist which draws from all quarters of the globe hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, for public acclaim, glorification and supplica- tion, at those great Eucharistic Con- gresses.
 Some time step inside c Cathode church when no services are being held. Watch the worshippers. Be there but one or one hundred pres- ent, you will notice that each is in. dividually praying-not as one pgays at home or out in the open Spaces-- but more as one converses with 6 Great One and a Loved One Who is right there personally present. If you do this. dear Neighbog, we be. lieve yo twill have respect at least for the Catholics firm conviction that . Catholic church, even when deserted by huban betngs, is never really empty.

 The Golden Text is from Levitlcua l0;G: Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God"

 Selections from the Christian eci- ence textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: "A material world implies Q mortal mind and man c creator.

THE CHURCH THAT IS NEVER

HE CHUKCH THAT IS NEVER
 EMPTY
 If you had seen the face of a certain man, who was walking de- jectedly down the street, you prob- ably would have said: Poor fellow, he is in some grave troublel"
 If you had seen that same face a few minutes later at the altar rail of Catholic church-a face whose eyes were glued on the tabernacle door in the center of the altar rail of Q Catholic church--a face whose eyes were glued on the tabernacle door in the center of the altar whose lips were moving slowly and silently, you might have said: "He seems to be-not just praylng-but talking to someone"
 And If. awhile later, you had seen that same young man leaving the church with vigorous step and with soft grateful eyes. you might have actually witnessed the fulfiliment of Christ's promise: Come to Me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will refresh you"
 Catholic churches are often crowded. They may at times contain no human beings. But at no time is . Catholic church empty: for in that little altar closet. called the tabernacle, there is always the Body and Blood. the Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ under the form of bread.
 This k the Personal Presence. the Re,i Presence of Him who died to redeem tho world. This is the Bread of life. concerning which Christ Baid; "IIe that eateth this bread shah live forever" This is the Bread Df the Last Supper, divinely changed

~ The teachings of this lesson on choices and their consequences in Q nations life are set forth very clearly and simply, The children ot Israel were facing the prospect of entrance into the promised land. It offered them the opportunity of a land flowing with milk and honey; 1t was . land of hills and valleys, with fruitful fields watered by the rain of heaven.
 But the children of Israel were facing this land with Its oppor- tunity with two clear choices before them, and with the alternative plainly stated of blessing or of curse If they gave themselves to the con- mandments of God and other ob- servance of right principles, there was before them the prospect of hlessinng; if they turned from these commandments to selfish and evil ways, if they. established corrupt worship in peace and truth and right, there was for them only a curse, rather than Q blessing,
 It turned out in the history of Israel exactly as these prophetic words foretold. Ruin and destric- ton came upon the people when they forgot God, and turned to their ow nselfsh an evil ways. Yet in exile and in diversity, when the people really turned to God, c glory shone upon the nation even in its seeming defeat.
 These things have not changed. Nations and peoples today are con- fronted with exactly the same choice

Sunday School Lesson------ CHOICES IN A NATIONS LIFE
Text; Deuteronomy ll,S.1S, Ss.Ss

and with exactly the same conse- quenceS. Wrong and evil courses as modern America are just as sure to curse American society as they were in the life of an ancient people. while the turning of our hearts and minds to right principles and sound conduct will bring us blessing just as truly as the blessing that ever fell upon any people deVoting thena- selves heart and soul to truth and right.
 Sound laws and obedience to them, the setting ot the welfare of all against the welfare of the lew, regard for justice that may be done to the lowliest person in society, consideration for the weakest and most in need, the use of Gods bounty to supply the widest and deepest human needs-thes are the things that bring blessing in the life of c people. These are the things that are associated with @ proper recognition of God and a manifes- tation of his goodness. a,
 How can one teach and proclaim these things 50 that they will take deeper hold of our life today and turn the hearts of our people from selfishneSs and inconsiderateness to devote themselves more truly to the seeking of Gods blessinng on our national life?
 A nation'e choice has its roots in the choices of individuals, yet indi- viduals are influenced by, the whole attitude of the society in which they live. Second choices are inex- tricably associated with right ideas and ideals. Here is where education and religion have . profound part to play--in 90 teaching and inspiring men that they may value things rightly and choose the things that bring blessing. 'r
