Jesus came into Galilee, preach ing the gospel of God" What im- mensity of life and movement are bound up in spiritual and world his tory with that simple announce ment in our lesson!
 The ministry of Jesus began when John the Baptist had been delivered up, and was awaiting his martyrdom.
 That is the way that the gospel of God and of His truth has pro- gressed in life. The saints and pro- phets have been persecuted and killed, but the proclamation of the good news of truth and righteous ness and love has gone on. John had done his work of preparation.
 He had said concerning Jesus, T must decrease, but He must in- crease; and these words were now fulfilled.
 The ministry of Jesus was some thing more than preaching in words. The Christian movement did not be- gin simply in devotion and in wor- ship. The Christian movement be- gan with the preaching of the truth the telling of the good news con- corning God, and the Kingdom of Heaven that was at hand.
 But the ministry of Jesus was one of contacts as well as of preaching When He found men who were cap- able of responding to the truth. He called them to Him and invited them to become His disciples.
 In the calling of Simon and An drew, his brother, there is symbol ism as well as fact. These men were fishers, and Jesus would make them

fishers of men. We do not know what may have preceded the call of Jesus to Andrew and Simon, but we are told that "straightway they left their nets and followed Him."
 Then He found two other bro- thers, James and John, who also were fishermen. They were evidently men of some prosperity, because they were with their father in the boat and there is reference to hired servants. Nevertheless, they left their father and their nets and their business, and joined them selves to the Masters company. While we have no record of what the Master said in His preaching except in parables, simple stories, and in the Sermon on the Mount, we have some indication of the ef- feet of His presence and His teach ing.
 When He came to Capernaum and went into the synagog on the Sab- bath Day, and taught the people were dSGOllloIlcO. we dAC CO1I CAAde He taught them as having author ity."
 That is 8 strange saying, for the scribes were supposed to be the people with authority. Jesus spoke out of the great authority of truth. He did not stand upon some official status, but His power and authority were in His words.
 The scene at Capernaum was made even more dramatic by the outburst of a man who was evident ly nervously unbalanced or insane. He cried out against Jesus, but Jesus brought him health and san ity.
 Was it any wonder that the people were astonished with this new teaching and with the power of man who had control over "un- clean spirits? The fame of Jesus spread throughout that densely pop ulated province of Galilee.

Life" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from John i: IA: Tn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In him was life; and the life was the light of men,"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passages from Proverbs 4:10, 12-15, IS: Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. . When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou rull- nest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instructions; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. . '. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 249, line 6: ''Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as able to destroy Let us rejoice that we are subject to the divine powers that be- Such is the true science of being. Any other theory of Life, or God, is de- lllsive and nlythological"

manner and matter that he is a big enough man to profit by his own mistakes. There was no les Sening of eloquence, but there seemed to have been added new quality that strengthens his ef- fectiveness and precludes any question of his deep sincerity.
 It is safe to predict that Father Coughlin has 8 noble career of service to his country ahead of him.
 TIME FOR A NEW ERA OF "GOOD-FEELING" IN AMERICA
 There have been eras of dissen- tion and 'ill-feeling' in our coun- try that are not pleasant to re- member; and there have been eras of 'good-feeling' and cooperation and progress, which we recall with national pride, for when all our people work together for great purpose then AMERICA is MAGNIFICENT!
 Perhaps America is now on the threshold of another mighty ERA OF GOOD-FEELING.'
 Such counsel as Father Cough 1in's last Sunday-will help to bring it about.

WELFARE and the COMMON DEFENSE of ALL our PEOPLE.
 Cease sniping at our demo- cratic form of government" he said;, which is pretty sound ad- vice to Americans at time when European dictators are laughing at democracy as joke, and are brazenly declaring to their own people that they are not fit for self-government, the ballot or a free press. And the thing that is hard for an American. to under stand is that the people over there meekly submit, salute their tyrants with genuine or feigned enthusiasm and applaud their own degredation.
 He counseled harmony and CO., operation among ourselves, that i've stand together at home free from entanglementS abroad" Capital needs labor," he said, land Labor needs Capital" and "United-we stand; divided-we fall" Familiar sayings-but well to be remembered now.

IS GOLF ON SUNDAY UNHoLY

1S UOLF ON SUNNDAH UNhOLf
 "The Catholic Sunday seems to end at noon!"
 Moon? Look at the golf courses! Plenty of Catholics out there every Sunday from a. m. till dark. And I know some who play cards for money on Sunday evenings-mem- bers of the HOLY Catholic Church."
 Dear Neighbor, to the above ac- cuSations, the writer of these words pleads guilty. But guilty of what?
 Is the walking over Gods hills and wales on Sunday unholy, because, while walking, knock before me a little white ball? Is the sitting in my home midst friends of a Sunday evening unholy because, while sit ting, we deal out bits of cardboard and perhaps bet small sums to lend interest to the game?
 If my golf or my cards inter- feres with my worship or the wor- ship or peace of my neighbor-if these games bring with them an- ger, blasphemy, envy, cheating or some other sin-if the money lost is damaging to anyone - then, and then only, are my games unholy on a Sunday--Monday, Tuesday, We'd nesday, Thursday, Friday or Satur- day.
 The Catholic believes that the prime requisite of keeping Sunday holy is worship. He believes that the Holy Sacrifices of the Mass is, as it has been from the birth of Christianity, the supreme act of ad- oration. Therefore the Catholic as- siSts at Mass every Sunday in every season, through every kind of wea- ther. Having done this, his only other obligation is to refrain from unnecessary servile work.
 Many Catholics, at the recom- mendation of the Church, attend services also of a Sunday evening and spend parts of the day in pray CT and good works; but never does the Church command, nor the in- dividual feel, that innocent recrea- ton for the mind and body can be turned to evil by the day of the week on which they are enjoyed.
 THE CATHOLICS WAY OF KEEPING SUNDAY HOLY IS HIS OWN. He insists not that others follow it. For the non-Catholic who observes Sunday sincerely in another manner, the Catholic has nothing but the greatest respect. This same respect he asks from his neighbors of other creeds, who, we believe, must also give the Catholic credit for sincerity.

 Whoever listened in to Father Coughlin's radio address last Sum- day afternoon-heard something notably fine.
 It was not sensational, partisan nor sectarian: but it was a heart to heart talk by one earnest American citizen with his fellow citizens from the Atlantic to the Pacific, on the farms and in the cities-of the different creedS and race-strains who make up the grand total of us favored mortals who are privileged to say, T am an AMERICAN CITIZEN.
 The matters he talked abouS are of vital concern to us all-our in- diYidual and collective welfare and the honor, safety and per- manence of our free institutions upon which we base all our earth ly hopes-for ourselves and the coming generations.
 He affirmed his answering faith in the principle of DEMOC- RACY and in the CONSTITU- TON of the UNITED STATES, and its fitness to maintain LIB- ERTY, JUSTICE, the GENERAL

been held since September IA, the date of the alleged murder, which has been charged to Arthur Hivon, and who has pleaded not guilty.
 Last Trial
 Not since January 28, 1914 has a man been convicted of first degree murder in the Waterbury superior court. The man was Motejius Rik- teraitis, who was subsequently, hanged, after having been nursed back tc health from an unsuccessful suicide attempt. RikteraitiS was guilty of the staying of his wife. He attempted to commit suicide by slashing his throat, but the wound was stitched and healed, and he died on the gallows.
 Counsel for Hivon have been per- mitted to have mental experts ex- anime him, and are yet awaiting their reports. No objection to the examinations was offered by States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, who considers them only as matters of procedure. Little credence is at- tached to the possibility of an in- sanity plea for Hivon. His counsel have been reticent in talking on the subject of possible change of plea.
 To Call Panel
 A panel of jurors, from which 12 will be selected to try Hivon has been selected, but will not be announced until called by Judge McEVoy.
