 ANCIENT AND MODERN NE. CROMANCY, alias MESMERISM AND HYPNOTISM, DENOUNCED" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Ezekiel 13:9: Mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: .. and ye shall know that I am the Lord God"
 Selections from the Bible include the following: "Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw |. But when the Pharisees heard 1t, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation .. But if cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you" (Matthew 12: 9, A, 25 to i; & 28).
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Ccrip- trues" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 482, line 26: Sickness is part of the error which Truth casts out. Error will not ex- pei error. Christian Science is the law of Truth, which heals the sick on the basis of the one Mind or God. It can heal in no other way, since the human, mortal mind so- called is not healer, but causes the belief in disease"

 The special offering WhitSun- Day will be for the work of the Church Mission of Help. The work of this organization in the Diocese is with young girls both in the na- ture of preventive work and in the caring for unmarried mothers and their babies. They have done splen- did work especially under the almost inspired leadership of Miss Florence Sanford who has been Executive Secretary for several years. A grea, many times a case is handed to them because of the efficient man. ner in which they have been work ing and their success has been al- most phenomenal.
 Miss Sanford's relationship with her girls Is that of a mother or old CT sister guarding and leading them. The work should be extended and is not even now, confined by any means to those who belong to the Episcopal church but practically takes care of any case that is brought to its attention. It needs more money and 1t is hoped that this offering will be a generous one. Rev. Arthur r. Lewis has been a member of the Executive Commit tee. along with Miss Sophie Brown. for many years and they are es- pecially interested.

urged MT. Grant to renew the offer.
 We intend to have the new place of worship known as the Chapel of Ease," Father Hammer explained. "It is mile and half from St. Catherine's and will serve 500 Cath olics living in the Pelham Manor area. St. Catherine's is the only Catholic church in the town of Pel- ham, with its villages of North Pel- ham, Pelham and Pelham Manor.
 We can seat 46O people in St. Catherine's and although we con- duct seven masses on Sunday there are crowds at some masses and peo- pie stand way out on the sidewalk. The new chapel will relieve that overcrowdling."
 St. Catherine's recently undertook a reconstruction program at the pa- rochial school adjoining the church and v.hen completed the school will accommodate 360 hildren.

DUMPING DRIVE
 WILL CONTINUE.
Police Commended for Curbing ViOIatOrs By
 Dr.. Godfrey

The campaign against illegal dumping of refuse is progressing satisfactorily, but will be continued indefinitely, Health Offlcer Dr. Ed- ward J. Godfrey said today. The police department. he said, has agreed to continue its cooperation in the drive against the practice.
 Since announcement that arrests and prosecution would follow any cases of illegal dumping, Dr. God- frey said. the number of complaints to the health department has de- creased greatly. The police, he said, have done excellent work in curbing violations, and a number of warn- ings were issued.
 The only public dumping ground is on Fairfield avenue, off High land avenue. Dumping elsewhere is expressly forbidden.
 Not only are neighborhood dumps unsightly, Dr. Godfrey points, but they are also grave menace to community health.
 The health department and the police, he said, will not relax their vigilance despite the fewer number of complaints.

between sisters and nuns?
 A: In ordinary usage the terms nun and sister are synonymous, although canon law distinguishes between nuns who belong to com munities having solemn VOWS, and sisters, who have only simple vows.
 Q: What, in brief. is the es- sence of Jewish teaching?
 A: According to Rabbi H. c. Enelow, the basic ideas on which Judaism is builded are "the unity and the holiness of God, the good ness of the world. the divine na- ture and the immortality of the human soul. and the possibility of its communion with God, and the consecration of human life. Moreover. we believe in the elec- ton of Israel as q means to an end, the end being the diffusion of those Ideas among all men and the ultimate reform Of human life in accord with them. Whenever this has come true, it shaii mean the Kingdom Of God on earth, the Messianic age, the fliifiIIment of lmacl's highest Ideal"

 To Catholic Church
Department Store Heads Pelham Manor Residence to
 Be Used as Branch Chapel

Pelham Manor, N. Y, May 27 - William T. Grant, head of the Grant chain of department stores, has offered his large colonial resi- dence and its four-and-a-haf acres of ground here to St. Catherine's Roman Catholic church of North Pelham for use as branch chapc. it was learned. The property is as- sessed at $121,000.
 The Rev. Henry F. Hammer, ad- ministrator of the church, said the OCT had been accepted and that deeds affecting the transfer will be signed within few days, MT. Grant now is living in Wilmington, Del.
 The dwelling fronts on the Bos- ton Post Road at Fowler avenue and is one of the largest houses in the village, covering an area of 90 by 35 feet. The house was built in 1914. Father Hammer said the rooms are large and the living room, dining room, library and front hall can easily be converted into chapel accommodating 250 persons. The second floor will be devoted to res- idential quarters for priests. A cross will be erected on the building and stained glass windows may be in- stalled.
 Father Hammer said MT. Grant, who moved from the mansion five years ago, is not a Catholic but has made many gifts in recent years to various churches and that this is his first to the Catholic denomina- ton. Prior to the death of Cardinal Hayes, MT. Grant made the offer to the church but the Cardinal refused it because the church then had an option on property 100 feet away. Father Hammer said. The option lapsed and in January of this year, when Father Hammer became ad- ministrator of St. Catherine's, he
