 LIFE" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from John 5:26: "As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself"
 Bible readings include the follow ing: 70 Lord, righteousness be- longeth unto thee, but unto us con- fusion of faces, as at this date O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upo nus; yet made we not our pray CT before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth" (Dan. g: 2 to 8, 10 13).
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: "Whcn will the error of believing that there is life in matter, and that sine, sickness, and death are creations of God, be unmasked? When will it be understood that matter has neither intelligence. life nor sensation, and that the opposite belief is the prolific source of all suf- fering?" (page 205: 7-12).

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
.ah: Emergency Leadership
Text: Judge 4:1-9, 12-14

She called on Barek, who seemed the chief hope of military defense of Israel, to raise an army of 10000 men and to lead them to Mt. Tabor. She had strategy as we'll as courage, for she planned to lead the hosts of Jabin and Sisera into place where Barak could fall upon them.
 Though he probably was man of courage, Barak shared the peo- ple's regard for Deborah. He felt his own weakness in comparison with her strength, and he refused to enter upon the enterprise unless she would go with him. Along with her strength, Deborah evidently had a sense of humor, for she assured Barak that if she went with him the journey would not be for his honor as Sisera would be "sold into the hand of a woman"
 It all happened as Deborah had planned. When Sisera heard that Barak was gone up with his army on Mt. Tabor, he gathered his host WlGll CllCll SOO ClldI lOIo Ol uOIl. 1V was Deborah's opportunity as she said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath deliver ed Sisera into thy hand"
 What noble woman! What qualities of faith and action! What a record in this Old Testament that places among it's great prophets and leaders woman to inspire men and women in after ages!
 Such stories as this emphasize the amazing nature of the Bible as a book of reality and progress. Even in modern times "women's rights" have had to be fought for and have been won only by great sacrifice. Yet, here in ancient Israel is the example of woman being put in an exalted place, and her character and achievement made the greatest thing in the national life.

 Q: Does Catholic Action favor oppose, or ignore Fascism, Nag ism, Communism, Socialism?
 A: The Rev. Michael J. Ahern, S.J., answers: The Catholic church opposes any and every form of the totalitarian state. In such states the authority of the state is held to be supreme over every human activity, over religion and the consciences of men and over the natural law itself.
 This is against mans natural right to life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness; and is contrary to his divine right to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience.
 Pope Plus XI has, in his ency- clical on "Atheistic Communism, explained the essential opposition of the Catholic church to Com munism; and in his encyclical, Germany and the Church." the irreconcilability between Catholic ism and the Nazi government in Germany.
 Some misinformed people have held, and still hold, that, because the church has condemned Con- munism so repeatedly and em- phatically, 1t must be in favor of Fascism. They point to the Vat ican treaty as evidence that the church favors Fascism. But the fight against Communism does not throw you over to the side of Fas- cism. You are not a Fascist be- cause you condemn Communism; you may, and Catholics do. choose democracy.
 The Vatican treaty was not made with the Fascist party in Italy, but with the Kingdom of Italy, which is now administered by | Fascist government. Treaties are not made between political par ties in nations but between the sovereign nations.

Weekly Comment
 Superintendent Roach's statement follows:
 Stopping accidents does not stir the blood like watching prize fight or parade. Similarly, those who have built the framework of safety are not much inclined to be emotional. Their job is a long pull. Nevertheless, we are throwing our hats into the air right now and celebrating six continuous months of reduction in motor vehicle acci- dents. Have we right to do this celebrating? I think we have"
 "In the first place, no one can say that there have been fewer acci- dents merely because there has been less travel. Since January the total mileage of Waterbury's auto mobiles has actually been increased In this period of increased travel there has been 152 or 26 per cent less accidents than last year on our city's streets and highways. Some may ask if this reduction isn't a matter of luck. Others may ask if we're not celebrating a little too soon. Well, in baseball fan is wise not to cheer too loudly just because his team is ahead at the end of the second inning. But when nine in- ningS are over he has a right to tell the world his team has won. True, tomorrow 1t may be different. But today we have won!" Will traffic accident reduction continue? Even the seventh son of seventh son cannot say. But I think we can take some satisfaction, some pride in six months of continued success-in the 26 per cent reduction of accidents.
 Success Explained
 Why have we had this measure of success? I believe it is because too much seed has been soWn in these last six months. These traffic accident reductions are the fruit age of the interest of our citizens in making our streets and highways safer. There has been slow but steady buildup of the interest shown by the public in the thousands of ways of achieving traffic safety. We know more about effective court procedure, more about selective en- forcement, more about school chil- dren education and more about the potentiaities of engineering"
 Industry first proved that acci- dents were not necessary. Thou sands of employers now maintain rock bottom accident rates year after year. The same thing can be accomplished in traffic safety. A state motor vehicle administrator writes me that his states monthly record is the best since 1922 when registration was only one-third the present total. It is a long pull, this business of making people under stand the facts about a basic human problem such as accident preven- tion."
 Tt would be hoping for too much, probably, to expect to maintain in- terest at white heat over such long periods. But my opinion is that this recent downward trend repre- sents 8 definite turn in events. We're not going to let this success go to our heads. We're not going to let down our guards or pull our punch in our war on accidents. We are going to continue our never dying interest in protecting people against themselves and you people must remember our slogan Be alive on August First"

Q: Are there any Protestant or Catholic refugees from Germany and Austria?
 A: An authority in the office of the high commissioner states that from 15 to 20 per cent of all refugees from Germany and Aus tria are Christian.
 It is not generally known in America that for many years in Protestant Germany and Cath ollie Austria there has been ex- tensive intermarriage between Jews and Christians. In Austria, which is 959o Catholic, practically every such marriage, to be ap- proved by the church, required a confession of the Catholic faith and the pledge to educate the children of such marriages in the Catholic faith. In Protestant Ger many intermarriage between Jew and Christian generally resulted in a confession of the Christian faith by the Jew involved.
 Though these children of inter- marriages were brought up as Christians, the Nuremberg laws make no distinction between the Jewish and Christian faith in those of Jewish blood.
 There are also many refugees who resisted the attempt to paganize the Christian church and had to flee their homeland for religious liberty. By the abroga- ton of the bill of rights in Ger many, they were threatened with imprisonment or even death, be- cause they could not conform with a clear conscience to the Nazi regime.
 Q: Are Protestant churches in the United States growing in membership?
 A: There has been a continu- ous gain in membership from 1920 until l937 with the extep- ton of the year 1884. during which membership figures drop ped l12,000 below the preceding
