CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
 Sunday, July "A

Sunday, July "A
 Truth" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 86:11: Teach me thy way, c Lord; I will walk in thy truth: W<~S my heart to fear thy name."
 Bible readings include the aAflow- ing passages (II Tim. 2: 1, 2, 15): "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Study to shew myself approved unto God, workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 454: 9, II: "The understanding, even in de- gree, of the divine All-power de- sctroys fear, and plants the feet in the true path,-the path which leads to the house built without hands eternal in the heavens :. That evil or matter has neither in- telligence nor power, is the doctrine of absolute Christian Science, and this is the great truth which strips all disguise from error."

DOLAN REvIvES
 OLD-T|ME FEUD
Former Internal Revenue Collector to Oppose Sen.
 Augustine LOnergan

With announcement today that United States Senator Augustine Lonergan will open campaign head quarters at Hotel Bond, Hartford, next week, came also the word that Dr. Edward G. Dolan of Manches- ter, register of the U. s. treasury and ardent new dealer, has forsaken his attitude of willing to run if asked" and now plans active so- licitation of the nomination.
 This means that two candidates, both claiming 100 per cent new deal afiliation, will divide opposition to Senator Lonergan which seeks strength in spite of the endorsement of the senior Connecticut senator by the administration. Additionally, Rep. Herman Kopplemann of Hart ford, is reported gathering support of candidacy yeyty yto be an- nounced although various groups in- terested in seeing him seek the sena- torial nomination are disappointed over Attorney General Homes s. Cumming approval of the Lonergan candidacy for renomination and re- election.
 The attorney general, 1t is under stood, will interest himself in the state race for the ueutenant-gov- ernorship and will back his law partner, Charles s. Lockwood of Stamford, against State Labor Com missioner Joseph M. Tone. The lat ter is the noly avowed candidate for the post at present although names of several friendly to Governor Will bur L. Cross have been mentioned as potential seekeds for the nomination.
 Dolan's announcement signalizes the opening of an old-time feud be- tween he and Senator Lonergan. The latter succeeded in blocking confirmation of Dolan's appointment as collector of internal revenue when National Chairman Jamse A. Farley attempted to put one over" on the senator. Dolan was given a tempo rary recess appointment and later had to retire.

0. Is Catholic Action political?

o. Is Catholic Action political? :
 A. A Catholic authority an- swers: Catholic action is not political movement anywhere in the world. By Catholic action is meant, and this is the off, cial meaning of the term, "the participation of the laity in the apostolic labors of the hierar- chy."
 This means that Catholics are, according to their abilities and opportunities, to teach the lives that are flaming lights for truths of Jesus Christ, to live all to see and for all to use as guides, to carry into every form of human activity the princi- ples by which Jesus Christ constantly remakes the world.
 Again, this means that, as far as Catholics are concerned, the principles of their religion are to guide and inspire them not merely while they are in the pews. but in every field of their human activity; in fi- nance, business, the professions, the world of entertainment, literature, the arts, sport, in the factory and the executive office, in the theater.
 
 Q. When does Judaism con- slider that a mans soul is saved?
 A. A Jewish authority replies: this question will be answered c<sierently by various author ities in Judaism. I presume that what is meant by when a mans soul is saved" is what the rabbis call The inheritance of the future life" or "the attain ment of immortality"
 According to the prevalent view of the Talmud, every per- son has 8 share in the future

 The new cars are black in colot like the ones they replace, but ard coaches instead of coupes. Beina roomier, they provide more facilitiea for the carrying of additional equip1 ment.
 In addition, they are equipped

life. His participation in fu- ture immortality may be lost only through great sinfulness. Ordinary sins may be forgiven or if they are not forgiven be- fore ones death, may lead to temporary punishment in fu- ture life, but do not deprive person of his immortality.
 There is another view, how ever, that of Maimonides, who holds that immortality is a quality to be attained in the course of life and that it can be attained only through a good life. Those who fail to attain 1t perish on their death. There is no difference between Jews and other people with regard to attainment of immortality.
 Q. Is sentiment for unity growing or declining among Lutherans?
 A. There is evidence of grow ing unity among Lutheran bo- dies in America. Four of the six United Lutheran Church Synods in Pennsylvania have recently combined, while four more Synods-Kansas, Nebras- ka, Iowa and Northwest-are working towards a merger.
 Two of the leading Lutheran communions-the Lutheran Sy- nor of Missouri and the Amer ican Lutheran church-are pro- ceeding favorably with efforts. for union which, if successful, will create the strongest bloc of Lutherans in the United States.
 Regarded as another indica- tion of growing unity among Lutherans is the fact that many phases of church activ- ity are now being organized along national lines, with little regard for synodical utilization.

Next Week: I Love Little Pussy.)
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D..
 Editor of Advance


 The story of Gideon's army would seem to be almost without parallel in the history of military strife, though it has some striking parallels in the records of moral endeavor and triumph.
 Napoleon is credited with the cynical remark that God is on the side of the great battalions" That, in general, is the worlds estimate that might not only makes right, but that might makes for success and power. Napoleon might well have been read to better advantage this story of Gideon's army; and our modern world trusts too im- plicity in great battalions, might likewise take the story to heart.
 Dominant in the story is the em- phasis upon Gideon's trust in Jeho- yah. He was, first of all, a man of strong character and purpose, whose life was completely devoted to righteousness and the service of his people. He had the sense of clear call to deliver Israel, and with this came the conviction that the de- liverance could be achieved only by men whose spirit was similar to his own.
 He did not want a great army of laggards and towards. He real lzed that the strength of his army was in the spirit of those who went with him to a great task, so he took his army downto the water where thirsty men might drink. Some of them bent down upon their knees, taking plenty of time to drink. Others Tapped up the water quickly with the tongue "as dog lap- peth."
 It was these men of action and haste that Gideon selected and set

Good Evening

We said let's spend week at the shore, And if we like 1t tarry for few days more So we packed just enough for a week, Set for fine time, to speak. Monday, good old blue Monday was a honey, Much rain; so we said, tomorrow will be sunny Tuesday and wednesday, it awful shame. And Thursday by heck pretty much the same;
 Which brings us to Friday walked to torrential showers And we moaned in our grief about the rainy hours That we'd spent in just one short little week Waiting for the to come out for peak There's always, they say, bright side, yet This week at the shore washout, all wet Friends you've spent this rainy week at the shore, It's hardly necessary for me to say any more ~ ~ Elm.
