Younger Element Takes
 Initiative in Purging Ranks of Trio

Efforts to oust Charles E. Will
 Hanson of Darien, Major John Buckley of Union, and Secretary
 Clarence G. Willard of New Haven
 are expected when the Republican state central committee holds a meeting at the Hotel Bond in Hart ford on. Tuesday, the 18th. All three c. O. P. leaders were censured by either the Waterbury or Merritt
 Parkway grand juries.
 The meeting has been called by Chairman Benjamin Harwood of
 the state central committee. The call for meeting said that caucus dates were to be set and that "any other business that may properly come before said meeting will be discussed"
 The Young Republican organiza- tions of the state are expected to
 lead the fight against Williamson and Buckley. Williamson was charged with conspiracy by the Wa terbury grand jury, while Buckley
 was severely censured. The custer fight against Willard, who was cen- sured by the Merritt Parkway jury and called as witness by the Wa terbury jury, does not appear to have as strong support.
 From some sources in Fairfield county, there come reports that Williamson will not seek to be re- elected to the state central con- mittee.
 In New Haven, the Young Re- publican organization several weeks ago voted down a move calling for the resignation of Willard

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
 Editor of Advance

Caleb shared with Joshua the distinction of having the courage and faith to believe that determined Israelites could conquer the Prom ised Land. The rewards of heroic conduct and of true character are not always evident in this life. Men serve in sacrifice, and the evidence of what they have done often does not appear until after they have gone. But it is a satisfaction to realize that the reward came in Caleb's case, and that 8 fitting por- tion of the Promised Land was given to Caleb for his inheritance.
 The reward had come to Caleb when he had not many remaining years on earth, for he was now, as he says in statement of the les son, years old. Is his statement that he was then as strong as in the. day that Moses sent him justi- fled, or is 1t the boast of an old man who does not realize how much he has aged2
 We can hardly believe that his physical strength was what 1t had been AS years before--but it is easy to believe that his moral vision and his moral fiber had not weakened, and that the old man was realiz- ing the heritage of well-spent life which had been attuned in every thing to strength and courage and righteousness. The possession of He- bron, the fine part of the land al- lotted to Caleb, was not altogether 8 matter of ease. It meant the ob- ligation to hold 1t and to defend 1t. In this, Caleb was evidently success full, for we have the record in the closing words of the lesson that "the land had rest from war"
 The moral lessons of this ancient story for our own time are not dif- ficult to appraise.
 There is, of course, the question of the moral right of one people to conquer land, and to expel an- other people by force of might-a question that has not very seriously arisen until comparatively modern times. The story of history Is, in the main, the story of conquest and settlement, with those who showed capacity for settlement as well as conquest triumphing in the end.
 But apart from this deeper ques- tion of the right of conquest is the lesson that determined courage and faith with moral vigor can conquer any obstacle. The man who is truly righteous need not fear the giants of evil. Formidable enemies can be dispersed and conquered by moral will and heroisrn.

 c. What makes meat kosher?
 A. First, the animal must be killed In a prescribed manner, so the blood may flow easily out of the body.
 Second, vital organs of the anil nal are examined by the slaught- erer to see that they are suitable for eating.
 Third, as explained in Leviticus Il and Deuteronomy IA, the ani- mals, living on dry ground, .hat may be eaten, are only. those that chew their cud and divide their hoofs. Of animals from the water, only those may be eaten which have scales and fins.
 Fourth. only the fore part of the animal is kosher meat. The hind quarter is avoided as food on &C., count of the narrative in Genesis, which, concluding the story of Jacobs wrestling with the angel of the Lord, tells: Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh unto this day, because he touched the hol- low of Jacobs thigh in the sinew that shrank."

Text: Joshua 14:6-15

But there is the further lesson that the goals of life are not in triumph over enemies, but in the attainment and preservation of peace. It was the spirit in which the Israelites possessed the land that has made their place in his- tory significant.
 Joshua and Caleb are heroic types for today. The story of what they were and did is inspiring, and nerves to action all to whom prom ised lands" open up in characters to be attained and tasks to be achieved.
