 Soul" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 143:7,8: Hear me speedily, O Lord: cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein should walk; for I lift up my soul until thee."
 Selections from the Bible include the following passage from Ezekiel Is: 4,21,32: Behold, all souls are mine. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is laful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. -. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn your selves, and live ye."
 Readings from the Christian Sci ence textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the fol- lowing: Soul is immortal because 1t is Spirit, which has no element of self-destruction. Sin exists here or hereafter only so long as the Illusion of mind in matter remains -. So long as we believe that soul can sin or that immortal Soul is in mortal body, we can never un- derstand the Science of being. When humanity does understand this Sci- ence, it will become the law of Life

e: Do liberal Protestants be- lieve in prayer?

Q: Do liberal Protestants be- lieve in prayer?
 A: Dr. Theodore Gerald Soares, in his book, Three Typical Beliefs" says: Prayer is the sense of the deepest de- sires of the human spirit. To want things that belong to others is covetousness; just to want things that are desirable is day dreaming; to want some thing so that one will go after 1t is purpose; to want anything that is so good that 1t ought to be wanted and to mediate upon that good desire is prayer.
 Such an exercise is to be prac- ticed by the earnest soul. It is the way to be joined with God in His purposes of love to the world. True prayer is @ puri- flying of desire. One cannot want what is mean, low, degrad- ing or selfish when one prays. One must desire what is beauti- full, helpful for others and up- building of the Kingdom of God when one prays. The liberal, therefore, believes in prayer as a devotion of himself to the best that he knows.
 Q: What has been the tradi- tional Jewish attitude toward charity?
 A: To the rabbis, charity was more than the unacceptable duty of the individual: to them 1t was a public duty the bounden duty of the community. The rabbis did not deem 1t sufiicient to leave the task of the relief

BARRIERS COMPLY
 WITH STATE LAW
Police Check-Up Here Show TOnsOrial Artists
 Properly Licensed

A police campaign against un- licensed barber shops has been com pleted successfully, Superintendent William J. Roach said today.
 Of 20 local barber shops which were reported as being without lic- enses last Saturday, all but one have since secured their licenses. In some cases. the licenses had been secured before police visited the shops. There were extenuating cir cumstances in the one case where no license was secured, and police took no action.
 The local police acted at the re- quest of the state barber commis- sion.
 Barbers who failed to secure the licenses by July 1, the deadline, said that in previous years 8 representa- tive of the commission had called on them to collect the fee.

of poverty and distress to the spasmodic benevolence of the individual. For this reason they established very early 8 most ef- f1cient public charity organiza- tion in every community.
 Maimonides has expressed the paramount ideal of the rabbis when he enumerated the eight degrees of charity in descend ing scale, naming as the noblest charity of all tha tcharity which we call today preventive char ity - the sort of aid that comes in the form of loan or a part nership in business or & job, which restores the individual to the status of a self-supporting member of the community.
 Q: What are vigil lights or candles burned in Catholic churches?
 A: A Catholic authority an- SWerS: The burning Of & vigil light or a candle in church is a sacramental which does not give grace of itself but only through the devotion and pious disposi- ton of the person. There the burning of a vigil light, with .he intention of honoring God or His saints by this act is meri- torious and can be applied to the souls in purgatory or to oneself, or to any person we de- sire 1t applied. The little light wastes itself away in the pres ence of the Blessed Sacrament doing honor to God in the place of the person placing 1t there. It Is e custom very old in the church.

Der of people, both old and young, who depend more upon stimulants and artificial prods, rather than upon good habits and well-ordered living, for incentive and strength in daily life. It is 8 question how long any community can survive with strength and efficiency where artificial stimulants and restora- tives supplant the essential factors of good health and discipline.
 Temperance is not fad of sen- timentalists and cranks, but a mat ter of sane and reasonable fact. Both the wisdom and the experi- ence of mankind enforce its de- crees and its warnings.

Who Rules America?

Are the lives of some 10000 workers and
their families to be governed by the laws OF
the United States of America, or by the edicts
of the Grand Duchy Of Henry Ford?
That, fundamentally, is the question which
the governments law enforcing bodies find
0 their doorstep as a result of the splendid,
factual ruling of the National Labor Relations
Board in the Ford case.
The N. L. R. B. report describes the peace
full efforts of the United Automobile Workers
Of America to organize Ford workers under
rights provided by the Wagner Act and up
held by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The unions activities, it shows, were met
with illegal anti-unionism, from the ~farcical
"Fordism' propaganda notices enclosed in
pay envelopes, to physical attacks On union
organizers by the choice collection of thugs,
~ex-convicts, prizefighters, thieves and Grim
inals which Harry Benefits service de
partment has collected to protect the free
dom Of Ford employees"
Almost before the story of the boards de-
cision, which ordered abandonment of the
company's illegal activities, was off the wires,
Ford attorneys had announced the company's
refusal to comply with the order.
The American people have had enough of
economic royalists declaring a law n t them
selves.
In the interests of democratic government,
it behooves the administration to enforce the
laws of the land in Dearborn, Mich.-to prove
that under them Ford workers may enjoy
their natural rights and that Henry Ford, as
any other citizen. must be held responsible
when he breaks the lave. l. O. NeUS.

THE OLD YEAR

| heard the Old Year talking, and he
seemed to say to me,
Il am what men have made me-not
what | hoped to be.
| did not bring the failures; my days
were bright and new.
| was the time allotted-the work
was mans to do.
Il am what others made mel had
no will Oh choice;
Through all the days of trial I was
given not a voice.
If victory came, man earned it; his
was the faith and power.
If sorrow came, God sent it; l fur
nished but the hour.
Il came here empty-handed-a year
that was to be,
And what | am in passing, mankind
has made of me;
am their petty failures, their glory,
htNlA ~ouSJSoSs
| am their souls advancement, their
shame, and happiness.
Il was not born in evil or governed
by the stars,
| brought to some high honors, to
others ugly scars;
Only my days were numbered; l was
the time for toll,
And each has reaped the harvest, as
he has titled the soil.
Il am what men have made me-noi
what I hoped to be,
And so shall be the New Year which
soon shall follow me;
Our days r good or evil, as each
man serves and strives,
For years r but the records or
which mer write their lives

The C.. |. O. Goes Forward

What about 1888?
Deepening depression-or progress towards
a more abundant life?
Hunger and want for millions of Ameri-
cans and their families, or real steps towards
security and economic freedom?
These are no new questions confronting
the American people. Year after year they
have been in the minds of the nations work
ers and middle classes.
The past year has been an eventful one
for American workers. In factories employ
ing thousands, and in shops employing only
handfuls, the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization has brought forth 10th century
employer-employee relationships, where be-
fore there had been only slavery and fear
and intimidation.
In the political field labor marched ir-
respressibly forward to a place in the sun.
In the crowded wards of New York City and
in isolated company towns, organized work
ers cast aside the political laiSSez-faiTe Of
other years and through Labor's Non-Parti-
san League moved quickly towards assert
ing themselves in local, state and national
government.
A year ago, timid skeptics cried, ut can't
be DONE
They reckoned without the growing force
Of the Committee for Industrial Organization,
which brought forth a program Immediately
appealing to millions Of industrial and white
collar workers.
In 1887 millions of insecure Americans
found a measure of security only through
the nationwide activities Of the c. l. o.
In 1888 the c. 1. o. has no intention of rest
ing on its oars.
Rather, it looks forward to II months
busily occupied with continuing its organiza-
ton campaigns to reach new millions of IN
protected workers. 1t intends to consolidate
gains already made. It intends to protect
the unemployed from the pauperization pro-
grams of budget-balancing, r~elef-cutting
Tories. 1t will war relentlessly on those who
hope to use the current business decline to
undermine the gains made by Americas pro-
~gressive forces in the last year.
1t will Inland hit hard-during the 1888
elections those representatives of the people
who have openly fought labor and those who
have betrayed the promises once made to
labor voters.
It will press for constructive legislation,
both state and federal, to keep children out
of factories, to bar the sweat-shop from in
dustry, to provide decent housing for the
people, to make these United States a better
place in which to live.
In 1888, the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization will continue to be the great
champion Of those Americans who desire
peace, true democracy, economic and politi-
cal freedom.-C. I. o. NeUS.

NEW CHAIN STORE
LAW TO FACE TEST

Payment of the new chain store
taxes under the law enacted by the
1886 legislature, was made under
protest by Attorney Tom Davis for
the Safeway Stores, Inc, the past
week, %presaging a legal attack upon
The validity of the statute. Attorney
Davis paid the Board of Equalization
S8,527.50 and formally protested the
payment. Legal action must be in
stituted within so days. Store own
ers contend the license tax on chains
is discriminatory and therefore un-
constitutional; also that the enacting
clause which was garbled in legisla-
tive handling, is faulty and there
fore, the law is imperative. The
law fixes store licenses at SIS for the
first store ranging to 5000 for each
store in excess of four. Sideways
