"Probation After Death" will

Probation After Death" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalm 23:4: "Yea, though walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me-"
 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Phi lippians 3:13.14: Brethren, count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 296, line 1: Progress is born of experience. It is the ripening of mortal man, through which the mortal is drop ped for the immortal. Either here or hereafter, suffering or Science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind, and regenerate ma- terial sense and self. The old man with his deeds must be put off. Nothing sensual or sinful is immor- tai. The death of false material sense and of sin, not the death of organic matter, Is what reveals man and Life, harmonious, real and eterual.n

 0. Why are certain portions of the Talmud seemingly contradic- tory?
 A. According to Rabbi Max Reichler it must be understood that mot all Talmudix maxims, teachings, or statements have the same value and the same author ity. Indeed, the Talmud as such was never intended to be a closed code, but rather 8 record of vari- ous interpretations of Biblical and traditional laws, and a faithful report of divergent Rabbinic opin- ions concerning general human ex- periences. in their relations to so- ciety, to Israel, to God and His kingdom. .. We should not be surprised to find in the Talmud, the compilation of which covers a period of eight hundred years, one Rabbi quoted in direct con- tradiction to another"

Fair Exhibit To Stress Rubber As Aid For
 Farmers

New York-Fabricated rubber, as an essential element in modern ag- riculture, will be heavily accented at one of the most interesting ex- hibits at the New York Worlds Fair 1889.
 The exhibit of three and one-halt acres will include an up-to-date American farm, faithful in every de- tail to rural life, and worked by wheeled machinery that has been completely shod with pneumatic tires. Cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and other livestock will roam at will through this farm. A stream, spanned by covered bridge, will water the pastoral scene which will be dotted by life-sized farmhouse, barns, silos, granaries, and other out-buildings. Typical farm hands in over-alls will demonstrate how rubber tires have eliminated much of the toll and cost which once marked life on the land.
 In this exhibit, too, the whole story of rubber will be told. Fire stone plantations in Liberia will be reproduced and tapped for latex. Then dioramas and pageantry will show all steps in rubber processing until at last the gum is ready for fabrication. At this point a modern tire factory, the last chapter in dramatic tale of energy and re- sourcefulness will be shown in &C., tual operation and turning out a finished product every four min- utes.
 The L-shaped building for these inter-related displays is wholly completed. Both wings meet in a great rotunda, the entrance. Part of the brilliantly lighted building rises like a fin for 100 feet. One of the many features will be a "sing- ing color" fountain upon which lights of different hues will play after getting their cues from the various musical beats of an orches- tra and band.

Q. Is there . tendency on the part of Protestant ministers in dealing with the sick to usurp the function and use the techniques of the psychiatrist?
 A. That both in the seminaries and through a growing literature the thought of the Protestant clergy is being increasingly turned to the service that 8 knowledge of psychology can render in ministry to the sick, there is no doubt. The danger, however, of ministers at tempting to apply the methods of psychiatry is constantly empha- sized and appears to be clearly understood. The clergyman is most helpful when he keeps to his own field of religion, but the more he knows about the human mind, both in its normal and abnormal activities, the more competent he Is to apply the resources of re- ligion to the needs of those who come under his ministry.

Contractor Complies
 With Courts Orders
"Soft Pedal' Applied to Demolition Work at Site of Old Telephone Exchange; Company Under Contract

Contractors tearing down the old telephone building on Leavenworth street have muffled their air con- pressor, to conform with Judge Ern- est Inglis' decree that quiet must prevail during the sessions of the Waterbury conspiracy trial.
 With the muffles on, the com- pressor was used yesterday after noon, and proved to be no disturb ance to the necessary quiet of the court.
 Workmen conferred with Judge Inglis during a recess yesterday to receive his permission to continue using the machine, provided they deadened the chatter it creates.
 They explained to him that they are under contract to destroy the building within a month, and that they desire to have 1t nearly down by May l, to avoid city assessments.

Secret Irish "Arrny" Gives
 Britain An Extra War Scare
BY MILTON BRONNER


 NEA Service Stan Correspondent)
 London. April 22 = As if being on guard against Nazi spies weren't enough to keep Scotland Yard busy these days, British G-men have an. other big job on their hands-track- ing down Irish terrorists.
 For 1t Is a situation fraught with political peril when bombs blow up bridges, electric light pylons and shops in Manchester and London, and when English juries find Irish- men guilty and English judges sen- tence the accused to long terms in prison.
 Premier Ramon de Valera has made of Fire a republic to all in- tents and purposes. Fire has its own president, premier, cabinet and par- lament. It levies its own taxes and spends the money. It has its own army and undertakes its own de- fense.
 Under de Valera Fire has cut the painter which tied it to Great Bri- tain. The trade boycott and trade tariff war between them has been ended and the relations between the two countries are good. De Valera has said there is only one outstand- ing dificulty-the union of Ulster to Fire, making one complete Irish nation. But de Valera is not making war about 1t. He feels that time is working in favor of his arguments.
 Not so the Irish Republican army, which does not particularly favor de l. R. A. wants Britain to turn over Ulster to Fire at once. No shilly shallying.
 To enforce their demands they have declared war" upon England
 Keep Up the "War'
 Their army" in England Is com- posed of fanatical men scattered over the island. They know, If caught the punishment will be severe. But ever since last mid-Jan- uary, they have kept up their war. They started by blowing up electric pylons in Lancashire. Then there were series of explosions in Man chester streets. Then they turned their attention to London.
 Scotland Yard gathered in sus- poets by the dozens. Innocent looking little shops and residences were raided. Tons of material for explosives were uncovered. Stocks of gelignite, stolen from stone quar- ries, were found. Casese were cop- per-riveted against some of the ac- cused and they were sent to long prison terms.
 But this did not frighten of the other members of the I. R. A. On one memorable March night some of these desperate men toured London in two motor cars. They blew up shop in swank Park Lane. They attacked some shops in populous Edgeware Road and Tottenham Court road. Then they came farther east, tossed a bomb at a celebrated bank in the Strand and wound up by blowing in the windows of a newspaper in Fleet street.
 As soon as the police bag five I. R. A. men, five to ten probably take their places. Most of them, when working for 8 living come from the humber walks of life.
 It is suspected they still have plenty of explosive material in caches around the country. At one time it was glibly stated that per- haps they were being financed by
