 Matter" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden text is from Psalms 114::7: "Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the pres ence of the God of Jacob"
 Bible readings include the follow ing: "Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heather, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heather are dis mayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is 1t in them to do good. But the Lord is the true God, he is the liv- ing God, and an everlasting king" Jeremiah 10: 2-4, 5, 10 to:)
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 249:12: Mind is not the author of matter, and the creator of ideas is not the creator of illusions. Either there Is no om- impotence, or omnipotence is the only power. God is the infinite, and infinity never began, will never end, and includes nothing unlike God. Whence then is soulless matter?"

BROWNE
 FORUM GUEST
Former Local Rabbi to Speak at Second Church
 Tomorrow

Dr. Lewis Browne who will lecture before the Forum of the Second Con- gregational church tomorrow eve- ming at 7:30 p. m. is one of the most interesting personalities in the liter ary world today. His famous volume on comparative religion, "This Be- lieving World" is now in Its twenty fourth edition and according to an official survey made by the Ameri- can Library Association, has been the most popular book on religions in the Libraries of North America. His treatment of the Jewish prob- lem in his volume, How Odd of God" has stimulated considerable discussion. Because of his know ledge and his objectivity, MT. Browne is equipped as are few other men to discuss this highly perplexing problem. His subject to- morrow evening "What Makes 8 Jew?" will be along these same lines.
 Dr. Browne was rabbi of Temple Isrea1, Waterbury in 1920 and asso- ciate rabbi with Dr. Stephen s. Wise of the Free Synagogues of Greater New York in 1924. Since 1925, MT. Browne has given all his time to writing.
 A cordial invitation has been ex- tended to Rabbi William P. Green field, Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf and Rabbi Maurice Zigmund, all of Wat erbury, to be present and to sit on the pulpit with Dr. Browne.
 This lecture tomorrow evening will be an unusual treat for the audience which welcomes the ap- pearance of a first-rate author who speaks as well as he writes.

A: Gambling is an effort to rat Sonootbipo foy. y,nfhi,1U If

A: Gampl1ng IS an ef1OrC 10 get something for nothing. It substitutes dependence upon work and thrift as the basis of success. When gambling be- comes a habit, it subtly destroys the moral fibre of one who is addicted to 1t and sets up false standards of value. It encour- ages distaste for industry as tame and unrewarding.
 The unnatural excitement at- tendant upon gambling so en- crosses the attention of its ad- diets as to make them neglect their duties. Further, gambling losses beyond the ability to pay has in innumerable instances led to dishonesty in an effort to recoup such losses.
 c: In reading about Jews, one is continually confronted with the term "diaspora." What does it mean?
 A: "Diaspora" Is a Greek word meaning scattering" ap- piled specifically to the disper- sion of the Jews throughout the world. The diaspora began with the Jewish colonization of Alex andria in 332 B. c. E. It has since spread all over the world.

Both Jones and Brown are liable to Smith. The assignment of the lease did not annul Jones' obliga- ton on his express agreement to pay rent. Brown is liable because the assignee is liable to the lessor for the whole of the rent provided for in the lease, and this is true even though the lease provided that 1t should not be assigned. Smith, of course, cannot recover the full amount due from Jones and from Brown both.

O.: How is the date of Easter determined?

A: The date of Easter is de- termined by an arrangement fixed by the Council of Niceae in 325. The Sunday chosen for Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon which occurs on or next after March 21; it there- fore always falls on some date between March 9 and April 25, inclusive.
 It has been customary for non-Catholic Christian churches to observe Easter on the same date as Catholics do, with the exception of some of the dissid- ent eastern churches, who chose a different date because of a regulation that Easter must al- ways follow the Jewish Passover, and also because many of them use obsolete calendars.
 So far, there has not devel- oped any theological or canon- ical objection to fixed Easter, and there has been considerable discussion of such a change, in connection with calendar reform.
