'7S CATHOLICS
 SAINTS TODAY
Evidence, Including Can- didate's Writings, Pre-
 scented to Court

During the last century, in face of wel1-nigh impossible demands on frail human nature, seventy eight Catholics were enrolled among the ranks of the Saints.
 No court of inquiry can compare in severity to that which the Ro- man Catholic Church conducts in the callonization of saints. Evidence favorable ana uneavorable, includ- ing every scrap of the candidates writings, is gathered and presented to Diocesan Court. The complete ness of the examination appears in the following facts regarding the Episcopal Court for the justification of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, popularly known as the Little Flower. The Court held 108 sessions of five to six hours each, during which forty-flve witnesses were ex- amined, exclusive of doctors. The entire report, as forwarded to Rome, filled 5000 pages of close writing.
 With this evidence before it, a Roman Court re-opens the entire process. The life of the candidate is again subjected to a mercileSs ex- animation; the faithful are bound by Ecclesiastical Law to reveal what they know against the Sanctity and miracles of the candidate.
 Each of the Theological virtues (Faith, Hope and Charity) and the cardinal virtues Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance) is made the subject of a special investiga- tion. It must be established that each and all these virtues have been practiced in an heroic degree.
 All possible human testimony hav- ing been called upon and found fa- vorable, the church is not yet satis- fled. She now seeks Divine Testi- mony. Only when God has granted two stupendous and indubitable miracles through the invocation of the candidates name is the person whose life has been under examin- ation considered worthy to be num- bered among the Saints.
 Needless to say, not all Catholics are Saints. The church has her sim ners, too. But to condemn the church because of the sinful lives of some of her children is neither fair nor log ical. It is to take stand different from that of Him Who said in the parable of the cookie and the wheat: Suffer them both to remain until the harvest.
 Saints are saints because they conform their lives to the teachings of the church; Sinners are sinners because they choose to live contrary to that teaching.

 It also shows several shots of Shanghai and of the time General issimo Chiang Kai-shek visited ChangSha. The other reel was taken just last year or so. It is especially fine as it shows a boat trip up the Yangtse river through the beautiful gorges. It is an excellent picture of Chinese life in its more picturesque form. Included on this reel also are several scenes of refugees fleeing from the ravages of the present war. All interested are cordially invited to attend.

BY THE NoN-ExPERT

Just contrary to the contem- plated move of the So-called Griffenhagen experts on fire and police procedure, who would de- mand 8 two years high school standing or more for prospective candidates for these departments in Waterbury, listen to the words of the learned Paul J. Kern, of the municipal civil service com- mission of New York, in his pro- posed examination of 30,000 can- didates for the police departments, to wit:
 Educational Requirements
 "While the commission seeks 8 high type of intelligence" he said, formal schooling on an excep- tional scale will not be required" He also said educational require ments were recently dismissed in an examination for patrolwomen of the police department.
 Coming from man of the Kern type, it must make the Griffen- hagen employees red in the face, right after they have filed their Waterbury report. The fire "ex- pert" was a man named Cotton, somewhat pompous as judged, in his rush to get through with his routine, to go back to his gov- ernment job, for which he was ob- tained for few weeks by the Griffenhagen people. In years gone by, they tell us, he was a city manager, but why he was not con- tinued in such high place, we cannot tell.
 It may be that if the proposed city manager plan is ever adopted in Waterbury, MT. Cotton will be a candidate for the place. Just now firemen seem to be anxious to find out the name of the federal bureau with which he is connect ed, and just how it was he was loaned for such an errand.

 Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypotism, de- nounced" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Romans 8:3l. If God be for US, who can be against us?"
 Bible reading include the follow ing passage from Romans 12:21: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. to them who are the called according to his pur- pose" (Romans 8:28).
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and eHalth with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 630: 1O-14: God could never impart an element of evil, and man possesses nothing which he has not derived from Good. How then has man . basis for wrong -doing2 Whence does he Ob- tain the propensity or power to do evil? In Science, you can have no power opposed to God. and the physical senses must give up their false testimony. Your influence for good depends upon the weight you throw into the right scale. The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable. Evil is not power. It is q mockery Of strength, which erelong betrays its weakness and falls, never to rise' tpage 192: 10l.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Honesty In All Things
 Text: Exodus 2O:l5; Luke ls:I-l0 $. As

Social matters, whatever may be the rights or wrongs of the past, are today not quite so simple. We are living in a world of law, and although the law itself may not al- ways operate fairly or uphold in- herent justice, we would have . condition of far greater chaos, dis order and injustice, If every man were to decide for himself to take from his fellowman what he thinks he ought to have. This is the point at which the Commandments has very real validity. even in our mod- ern world where there is so much lack of justice and inherent right. But the story of Zacchaeus, the publican, throws some light upon this problem of the reality of own- erslaip and the reality of theft. Here was this man Zacchaeus, collector of taxes. It was the custom in those days for a man to pay so much for the privilege of collecting the taxes, and he was won't to make as much as he could for himself by CAUO4 tAOA4s
 Whether Zacchaeus practiced ex- tortion or not is not clear, but when Jesus came into his life and Salva- tion came to ZacchaeuS, he dared to look at his own business life and work, and he said, ''If I have taken wrongfully anything of any man, I restore fourfold."
 That was what 8 thief was compelled to restore under the law. Zacchaeus said in effect, "If I have taken anything that really does not belong to me, I am a thief, and want to square my conscience by re- storing 8 thief'S portion"
 What a revelation would come to the world and what a change, if all men similarly met Jesus and faced their lives and their actions upon such a basis of realityl zacchaeus had learned the meaning of the Commandment, "Thou shalt not steal"

Q: What is the origin of the mOurner'g hench2

Q: What is the origin of the mourner's bench?
 A: The origin of the mourner's bench is obscure. It seems that Dr. William P. Chandler, M. D., invited seekers of a Christian ex- perience to come forward to the chancel as early as 1799. In the great camp meetings that began in the Nineteenth Century ex- horters walked through the con- gregation and urged people to fall on their knees where they were.
 The mourner,s bench was a dis tinctive feature of the meetings conducted by Charles c. Finpey, in the fourth and fifth decades of the Nineteenth Century.
 Q: Why are there altar Esy5 in Catholic churches?
 A: Altar boys are used for su- bordinate duties in aiding the clergy in the celebration Of sacred ceremonies. Altar boys light the candles on the altar and carry lighted torches in religious pro- sessions and during the solemn singing of the Gospel. They pre- pare wine and water for the Sac

nographer, with an occasional visit from Griffenhagen himself, and his first boss, Robinson, are in full possession of the exquisite aldermanic chamber, occupying the northeast corner; their work originally was the preparation of the 1889 budget or estimates as the charter says they are.
 The preparation of city budget of seven million dollars would seem to many 8 matter of a few weeks time, even for non-experts. We have seen the day when the board of finance and board of aldermen got it ready in a few days. Gov ernor Lehman took the big New York state budget away with him, and he left minus a Griffenhagen man.
 When Please?
 The school "expert," the gen. tleman from Illinois, performed most of his business, they say, without leaving the high school building. The fire expert acted in the same way, and apparently didn't know the Burton street Sta- ton was established 40 years ago; that Engine 2 station replaced the old Scovill street station, built over 50 years ago, and the Brook lyn station in existence 35 years, and primarily constructed to fight against a possible fire hazard in the various gas and oils plants of that district.

 c: Why do Orthodox Jews wear Q praying shawl in the synagogue?
 A: The use of the praying shawl or Talith. as 1t is known : in Hebrew, is in obedience to the following Biblical injunction:
 Speak unto the children of Is- rael and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments, throughout their generations. and that they put upon the fringe of their bor- derS g cord of blue: and it shall be unto you for q fringe that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them: and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes after which ye go astray." (Numb. l5:3S, 39).
 Another passage supposed to enjoin the use of the Talith is:. Thou shalt make for ttyseIf fringeS upon the four corners Of your garments with which thou cOverest thyself." (Deut. 22:12).

 Senior c. Y. O. members of the St. Francis Xavier's unit will dance tonight at the parish hall. Mem bers of various other parish units will attend. Music will be provided by a ten-piece orchestra.
 Stop Signs
 Stop signs which were removed from the streets interSecting Bald- win street at the time of the re- paving, have not been replaced, and are a matter of concern to the automobile operators of the dis trict.
 The Washington Park Community club at meeting last night made plans to communicate with the po- lice department and ask for the re- placement of the signs. Alterations on the stop light at Washington and Baldwin streets will also be sought. It was stated that the light does not remain one color for a long enough period for a smooth flow of traffic.
 The club is also in communication with Charles Chapman of the c. R. & L. Lines, concerning bus opera tions on Sylvan avenue. The service is unsatisfactory, and a stop pole which formerly was located in front of the Community house has been removed.

Text: Exodus 2o:15;
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
 Editor of Advance

EO1tOE Ok AQV&lCG
 Our lesson on the eighth Com- mandment, Thou shalt not steal" {" contains New Testament story which is itself a lesson upon the Commandment.
 The commandment is simple, old and plain. It does not go into any niceties of definition to define just what is stealing. It does not consider such questions as the rightfulneSs of possession, nor whether the thief might not under certain circumstances be more entitled to the things stolen than l the man from whom they were taken. We must remember, of course, that these Commandments have their origin and emphasis in sim pie and rather primitive Aociety where the conditions of life were not complex and where, if a r1an stole from his fellow, he took that which was likely to be the direct product of his neighbours labor and honesty.
 In a complex society many | questions arise. A professor Of ethics, under whom I studied, used to tell story of man who was walking across 8 field on an English estate. The owner of the field came upon him and, accusing him of trespassing on his land, ordered him of. The trespasser questioned his right. He wanted to know where the owner got the land. The owner replied that he got it from his father. And where did he get it?" continued his trespasser. He got 1t from his father. And so 1t went on, back to the original ancestor who, the owner said, fought for it. At that, the treSpasser pulled him. self into 8 fighting mood and said, "Ill fight thee for it now"
