DRUM CORPS IN
 CONTEST TODAY.
Youngsters to Parade in Brooklyn District; 0eg.
 han Co. Offers Trophy

St. Joseph's fife and drum crops will be )losts to three other musical units this afternoon during Q street parade and competition to take place in tho Brooklyn section, serv- ing as an introduction to e magical show to be sponsored by the corps tonight at the parish hall. The pa- rade will form on John street at 1880 o'clock, moving through the principal streets of Brooklyn, later transferring to motor trucks for tour of the city. Upon returning the competitive events will be staged at the auditorium of the parochial school, after which the winner will receive @ handsome tro- phy donated by Joseph deghan of Geghan Motors Inc, local stude- baker agency.
 The main attraction at the par ish hall tonight Is LeRoy and Con- pany, masters in the art of magic who appeared here some time ago and pleased an exceptionally large audience. After the stage offering Jimmy Fitzgerald and his Swing sterS will provide music for dancing from 0:30 o'clock until midnight. The program for both afternoon and evening has been arranged by John w. Stokes, director of the unit and John Stokes, drill master.
 No doubt the hall will be crowded tonight since 1t is understood that there are many who will welcome the opportunity to add to the fife and drum corps treasury. The youngsters recently took part in the American Legion parade held .a New York City and as @ result faced tremendous expense, most of which was raised through public contri- button. Many will witness the events this afternoon and give their support to the boys, since only a small admission fee will be charged.
 The Judges who will decide the final winner of the afternoon compe- tition include Richard Parkinson of Naugatuck, John Morrow and An- gelo MaStriano.

 The prospect of an increase on WPA at the present time, however, Is more or less improbable, inas- much as the general curtailment process still seIns to be going on.
 Decrease Noted
 Figures released recently in Washington show that in 1886 at this time there were Ie,904 persons employed on the state WPA roles and that in 1887 this figure had dropped to lS,2sS, Q decrease of 8,e6l.
 The drop in Waterbury since a year ago has been well over 2S0 men and according to Q statement made today by William Kennedy, engineer of local projects, no word of any increase In the local person. mel has as yet been forthcoming from the state off1ce in New Haven.

Q. What is the origin Of the various Protestant denominations?
 A. Methodism originated with Q movement started In oxford University in l729 by John and Charles Wesley apd others. The movement soon became widely known as the Methodist Move ment".
 Modern Baptist bodies trace their origin to the Protestant Reformation. Early in the 17th century the first Baptist churches arose in England.
 The distinctly Presbyterian churches of the United States trace their origin chiefly to Great Britain.
 The Lutheran church was found- ed in 1565 on the principles ex- pressed by Martin Luther. Luther anisln was introduced into Ameri- ca by Dutch colonists who settled on Manhattan Island.
 The Disciples of Christ origin ated in e movement for Christian unity and reconciliation which arose in American Baptist and Presbyterian circles at the begin ming of the 18th century. The church was formally established in 1907 when the Rev Robert Hunt celebrated the Holy Communion on May 21 on the banks of the James River in Virginia. How ever, services of the Church of England in the American colonies were conducted much earlier by the chaplains carried with various fleets.
 Congregationalism is regarded as an outgrowth of the Separatist Movement which developed after the Reformation. It was brought to America by the Pilgrim Fathers (l620) who, driven from Eng land in 1908 had found refuge in Holland.

love. He is constrained to exhort these Christians, but 1t Is not with any superior sense of righteouSness, but out of his quiet zeal for the faith.
 Jude speaks of those who have crept into the church who have not understood tho purity and beauty of this faith, ungodly men who have been corrupt and lascivious and who have denied their Master. He calls upon these Christians to remember the words of the apostles, that there would arise Itlockers and hypocrites, who would be deceived themselves and would seek to lure others from the life of the Holy Spirit.
 What are the Christians to do in the presence of such Situatione They are to keep themselves in the love of God. They are to seek the mercy of Christ unto eternal life, and they are to be Merciful toward others, particularly toward those who are in doubt.
 Some they are to save, snatch- ing them out of the fire, but in other cases, mercy Is to be asso- ciated with fear. How finely this Is put: "On some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spot. ted by the fish,"

HE CARRIED A ROSARY; YET
 HE NEVER WENT TO CHURCH"

You have heard that our jails are crowded with Catholics-that gang sters and racketeers often call for Q priest when death draws near and so are buried with Catholic rites. Strange, isn't it? And what am- munition 1t affords the professional anti Catholics?
 Plus Lanzetti was shot to death on the last day of 1886, in reprisal, 'tis Surmised, for the murder of a rival gangster. Piusl-the name of eleven saintly PopeS. And the pa- pers reported that "he carried a rosary; yet he never went to church." Yes, Plus Lanzetti WAS probably a Catholic.
 Baptism leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Baptized a Catholic, always Catholic, yet only too of- ten Catholic by Baptism only.
 What good to carry rosary and never go to church-to wear a medal and know not what 1t means ito live in ignorance of all Catholic teaching and oft-times directly op- posed to 1t? Catholics" of that sort are Catholics by name only. Catholics" of that sort are they who swell the ranks of gangsters, racketeerS, murders. Catholics" of that sort are not the products of the Catholic church.
 The Catholic church glories in its saints but, like Christ, it consorts with sinners. Its priests go forth into the dives of the underworld, into the jails and death- houses preaching. imploring. praying. And when a sinner-no matter what his crime against God or man-repents, he is taken back into the arms of Mother Church, he is absolved from his sins, he receives God Himself in Holy Communion, and finally over his remains a Requiem Mass is sung. Surely then, there shall be joy in heaven upon enc sinner that doth penance, more than upon just who need not penance." Luke xV:7.

REGIONAL SCHOOL PLAN EXPRESSES

 mental Plan

Along with other superintendentS of schools in all parts of the state pr. Thomas J. Condon, local school head, Is viewing with interest tho regional high school experiment be- ing conducted in Litchfield coun- ty.
 pr. Condon told the Democrat to. day that he was In favor of the regional high school for many req sons, some of which were indirectly applicable to Waterbury and which would prove to be beneficial to the local system.
 Providing that eventually the regional system, which provides foI high schools in outlying districts for the pupils from some five or six neighhoring communities, were to be put into general use Water bury would lose most of its 243 higll school pupils who commute daily from neighboring towns to attend tho three local high schools.
 Dr. Condon pointed out that the city would lose out on the tuition which these pupils now must pay to attend local high schools but that on the other hand 1t would effect a reduction in the pupils load and tend to add to the efficiency of teachers by reducing the size of the classes.
 The Idea of a regional high, he further pointed out, is favored strongly in the small communities 1t tends towards centering pupils of one country in their own school and eliminates long trips to neigh boring cities to attend high school.
 At the present time there is only one of these experiments being act- nally tried out in the state but be- lief has been expressed by state Commissioner of education Ernest Hutterfield that the 1888 legislature might pass laws providing funds to begin more of them.

 Plus Lanzetti, on the other hand, was slain instantly and without chance for repentance as far as the world can judge. His interment was without services. Yet who can say that in the last second of his consciousness he did not, like the Good Thief. turn to God? God is just. God is merciful. And there is not a Catholic who feels himself sinless enough to cast the first stone of condemnation at any Of his brothers in Jesus Christ.

Christianity made It's way in an ancient world of evil. The pure souls who heard the voice of Jesus and turned to His way of life, and the early converts who came after that first generation of Christians were at once face to face with all the difficulties and temptations and danger of e surrounding pagan world.
 To be @ Christian meant to be in constant danger of persecution because the world ct all times hes been very critical and hostile to- ward those who have not conforined to it's ways.
 The menace that besets the Chris tian, however, does not all come from without. In every such sit- uation there are those who take some compromising and expedient way. They do not bluntly and frank. ly yield to temptation, but they find some means of justifying their con- duct to themselves and others.

 Apparently the brothers of Jesus were slow ct first to believe in His divine mission, but James and Jude became zealous disciples. Our lesson reveals Jude as Q man of pure and beautiful character, zealous to save the early Christians from corrup- ton and from the debasing infiu- ences of their environment.
 His message to the early Chris tians is one of mercy and peace and

Q. Can you supply information about Catholics In Japan who are said to have kept their faith through several generations, with out priests?
 A. The Japanese Catholics you refer to were descendants of sur. vivors of the massacreS of 1888, from which time, until 1882, the Catholic church in Japan had apparently been nonresident. These, Catholics, who had kept their faith, had baptized their children and taught them Ca- tholicism for almost two hundred years, although they had no priests with them. They were discovered by IT. Bernard Petit jean, in 1885. Their ancestors had been converted by St. Francis Xavier in l540. and in one hum dred years, or by about 1649, there were two million Catholics in Japan.
 On March l7th the Church of Japan observes the Feast Of the Finding of the Christians.
 Q. What is meant by the term '.1EisisOn of the Jew."
 A. The phrase, '-The Nilsson of Israeli, is modern. The idea ex- pressed by 1t is as old as the existence of Israel as . consecrated people. The idea has been re- emphasized especially by leaders of Reform Judaism, but it is an idea maintained by all religious parties of the Jewish people today. What it means is that the Jew have been chosen by God to be His servants in history and to bear witness to Him. Such q doctrine. however, has never meant c Hat. tery of Jewish racial pride. Thg doctrine is not a qualification Q the Jew, but Q clear description ( the JeW's duty in the world.

 The Golden Text is from Romans 8:2: "The law Of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
 Selections from the Bible include the following passage from Romans 13:12: ''The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast of the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "6cience and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: We are sometimes led to believe that darkness is as real as light: but Sciecne afiirms darkness to be only Q mortal sense of the absence of light, at the com- ing of which darkness loses the ap- pearance of reality.
