 Among nations peace is a gift of God and so not obtainable by purely natural means alone. The will to peace must exist in indiv- uals and through them inform the nations which they compose.
 0. What is the Jewish attitude toward divorce?
 A. Although the Jew regards marriage as a divine institution and hence one to be maintained throughout the husbands and wife's life, he favors the disco tinuance of the marriage state under certain well-defined and reasonable conditions. Tn early times the right of divorce was granted to the husband with no provision of the same right to the wife. In order to prevent t he abuse of this privilege the mar riage contract was introduced which stipulated a dowry for the wife in case of her divorce.
 At the present time no divorce can take place according to Jew ish law except upon common agreement of husband and wife. Nor is the right to sue for divorce any longer confined to the hus- band. A wife, as well as a hus- band. may sue for divorce on the ground of adultery, immortality or loathsome disease. Tn addition to these reasons wife may sue for divorce on account of non-support or deSertion. t.t1

} SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Hannah: GOdlv Motherhood
Text: I Samuel 1:9-18; 2:1-5

mother was comparatively unknown but think of humble Scottish mother whose life was magnified seven-fold and many times more in the service of her sons!
 We are far from Mothers Day. as we study this lesson in August, but here are thoughts for Mothers Day and every day-as Mothers Day ought to be.
 Samuel was ;he man of achieve ment, and the savior of Israel in a time of great crisis. In the story of every great man, his mothers part in making him what he was is not so evident as in the case of Samuel.
 Would that every Hannah-and their name is legion-might have an inspired biographer like the mother of Samuel!

the reasonable speed for a particu- lar time and place. If child should chase ball into the path of your car, if one of your tires should blow out suddenly, if the car in front of you should stop quickly if any of hundreds of other critical driving situations should occur, you might find yourself involved in a serious accident"
 Reasonable speed is not simply a matter of arbitrary figures. In many states and communities, laws define the speed limits. Laws, how ever, do not define the many de- tailed and changing traffic factors such as traffic density, weather, sea- sonal conditions, visibility. All these place the burden of judgment on the individual driver. In short, the principal item is controlling the menace of excessive speed is the good sense of the man, woman, boy or girl, whose foot is on the accel- erator."
 Improper passing is one of the surest signs of poor driver. Ac- cording to authorities, improper passing is the result either of ignor- ance or unjustified haste. It is al- ways ineXcusable. Since 1t implies accelerated speed, the likelihood of a severe collision is greater The driver who passes improperly usual ly does so continually-until halted hv a collision Avoid hpinp this kind of a road menace by always making sure you have 800 feet of clear road ahead before passing another vehi- cle. Pass on the left, never on the right. Pass at reasonable speed. Stay in line rather than weave through traffic. The good driver ob- serves these rules and if his car is in good mechanical condition, he endangers nobody"

O. What is the origin of the term "fundamentalists?"


 A. pr. Theodore Gerald Soures, in Three Typical Beliefs" states: Fundamentalism is as old as the reformation, though the name is of recent origin. About half a cen tury ago the inroads of liberalism caused the conservative elements in all the denominations to draw together. They made common cause against what they felt to be a common foe. Asserting that there could be no compromise on the unchanging fundamental of the Christian faith, they adopted as a rallying cry the name fun damentalist." They claimed that they were reaffirming the faith as Luther held 1t, and Calvin and Knox, and Robinson and Bunyan, and Wesley, and the great mis- sionaries and evangelists. and most of the theologians until very re- cent times.
 e.. Give some Catholic defi- .nitions fo the term peace"
 A. A Catholic authority an- swers: Peace as gift of God is a tranquility of mind in face of spiritual and temporar problems. Peace is defined by St. Thomas Aquinas as "the effect of which charity is the cause" St. Augus- tine offers the definition, peace IS the tranquility of order"
 Other Catholic definitions or descriptions all note the positive aspect of the state of peace. that s, peace b regarded as 9 state
