o. Has any progress been made toward uniting the northern and southern branches of Presbyteri- anism in this country?

K. Penney, secretary of the Committee on Stewardship and Finance for the Southern group. reunion cannot be effected for at least two years because of the dif- ficulties presented by church law.
 c. In what respects do cardi- naI-priests, cardinal -deacons and cardinal bishops differ?
 A. A cardinal-bishop is the highest of the three ranks in the College of Cardinals. Prior to the Eighth Century the Popes brought together the bishops of those sees adjacent to Rome and the cardi- nal-priests of the city for the pur- pose of sharing assistance and counsel. Thus those bishops be- came known as cardinal bishops. The lowest of the tAree ranks in the College of Cardinals is that of Cardinal- -deac0n. Amongst those

Early Diagnosis Campaign Urged
 For Tuberculosis

"A stitch in Time" is slogan of the Early Diagnosis Campaign sponsored during April by the Wa terbury Anti-Tuberculosis League, 35 Field Street, in it's efforts to put facts before the public con- corning the necessity of finding and treating tuberculosis in the earlier stages of the disease. K ray examination IS the veritable stitch in time" since evidence of disease can be seen in the picture long before there are outward signs of more advanced trouble.
 Stimulus is given to this cam paign by the fact that of all the hundreds of patients sent to State Sanatoria only a very few are in the early stages of tuberculosis yet every advanced case was one a beginning case with chance of quick recovery.
 Cooperation in spreading in- formation to the public will be given by the local newspapers the radio. the schools and bJ business and manufacturing con- cerns throughout Waterbury.

who were labelled cardinals in consequence of their close associa- tion with the Pope was the deacon of each of the seven regions into which Rome was divided, When the regional division of the city became merely a name, the title cardinal-deacon was extended to other ecclesiastics as well.
 A cardinal-p is the middle of the three ranks of cardinals. The fifty cardinal-priests are now mostly bishops exercising ordinary Jurisdiction in dioceses more UT less remote from Rome.
 Q. What does prophetic Jewish teaching have to say concerning international peace?
 A. According to Rabbi Josenh 8. Kornfeld, the prophet Isaiah advanced the idea of "an interna- sional peace which, in its scope and nature, may well be regard ed as the model of the Kellogg Peace Pact. Not unlike the Pact. this prophetic peace covenant is multilateral and contains the same provisions. namely, that the na- tionS agree that the settlement oi solution of all their disputes slaall never be sought except by pacific means.

 Doctrine of Atonement" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Romans 5: Il: We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement."
 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from John SHALT: "As Moses lifted up the ser- pent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved"

Law Says She's Dead;
 Seeks Her Life Again
Indiana Town Drives for $1,OOO To Save Woman From Chair

By NEA Service
 New Albany, Ind, April 15-To save legally dead" woman from the elecrtic chair, this Ohio river town has raised $700 in drive to- ward $1 ,0oO goal.
 She is 34 year old Mrs. Lucille Anderson, first woman to be given the death penalty in the state of Arkansas, scheduled for execution in the staying of 8 Hot Springs chain store official.
 She is also "the late" Lusetta McMonigle, New Albany girl, who vanished in October, 1925, at the age of 20, and was declared dead in cir cult court three years ago.
 MYSTERIOUS
 DISAPPEARANCE
 For years police followed every lead in a search for LuSetta. An or- phan, she had been reared in the home of the Graybrooks in New Albany, sent to school, made a mem- Der of church. There seemed to be no logical reason for her disap- pearance
 Some said that she might have committed suicide, as her father had. Others believed she had been Kidnapped and slain. But every clew led up a blind alley.
 Finally, in 1886, Irene Graybrook, daughter of the woman with whom Lusetta had lived, filed a petition to have the missing girl declared legally dead in order to dispose of the $250 worth of personal property she had left. The petition was granted by the circuit court.
 The story begins again with a holdup of grocery executive in Hot Springs, Ark, in September, 1888. Eldon Cooley, the 26 year old victim, was murdered by bandits.
 Arrested in the case were Joseph B. Smoky Joe" Anderson, 36, his wife, and two others. They all re- ceived the death penalty.
 Then New Albany learned what had become of Lusetta McMonigle. In an effort to save herself from the chair, Mrs. Anderson admitted her identity. HOME TOWN
 TO RESCUE
 Two Hot Springs ministers be- came interested in her case and journeyed to New Albany in Febru- ary. With the aid of a local preach CT, they secretly raised $250 to ap- peal the woman's case to the Ar kansas supreme court.
 The appeal was granted, but Mrs. Anderson was faced with raising ad- ditional funds to meet expenses of a second trial. Again the friends of her childhood days answered.
 Shortly after St. Marks Evan gelical church, where she was scon- firmed as girl, announced cam paign to obtain more money, the financial drive received inspiration. On March II, before he was exc cuted. Smoky Joe" Anderson de- clared his wife innocent.
