Religious
Question Box

q. Does the Protestant EpiscO-
nal Church recognize definite MIN
isterial orders?
A. The Episcopal Church rec
oQniSes three orders in the minis
try-bishops, priests, and dea-
CONS. Deacons must have reached
the age Of twenty-one. They can
not administer Holy Communion
and their special duty Is to care
for the sick and poor OF the par
ish and preach only when licensed
bv the bishop. A priest cannot be
ordained until he has been a dea-
con for one year and Is twenty
four years old.
q. What are the functions Of
q ''cantOr" In Jewish services?
A. In most larger Jewish con-
0reRations in the United States
and England, the cantor Is a reg
ular official of the congregation,
who conducts services on the Sab
bath and holydays together with
the rabbi. In many instances, the
cantor is supported during the
musical portion Of the service by
a regular choir. He is often au-
thorized to officiate at weddings,
funerals, and other religious serv-
ices.
q. What Is the Roman Catholic
Order Of st. Gregory the Great?
A. The Order of st. Gregory
the Great ranks third among the
six orders of knighthood which
the Papal Court confers upon
"men Of unblemished character
who have In any way promoted
the interests of society, the church,
and the Holy See." The Order was
established by Pope Gregory XVI
in 1881.
@. What principles underlie
COngregationalism?
A. Congregationalism Is COM
bination of two principals: the in
dependence Of the local church
and the fellowship Of independent
churches in voluntary association.
These principles exclude prelacy
and presbyterianisn, and make
the local church supreme in mat
tiers Of faith and practice.
@. To what date do scholars
assign the origin Of the Lenten
fasting period.
A. There Is no trace Of the
forty-day fasting period, which we
call Lent, before the Fourth Gen.
tury. At the close Of the Second
Century, the fast before Easter
lasted only few days.

BLACK VERBOTEN

BLACK VERB0TEN
Implying that Roosevelt is
giving too much equalities to
other races, Father Cor HERR,
Riker cerainly represents far
less religious societies than the
Church and Christian brother
hood. He outdoeS Father
Coughlin. He writes land i'll
forms the voters that IF
either the black or orientalS
have any white blood in their
veins, or any other race, they
are to be tabooed from any,
thing but creatures of unfavor-
able circumstances to be push
ed aside and not privileged to
enter the kingdom of a NEW
AND FINAL ORDER, which Is
now being introduced" Father
Riker'S entire racial rawlings il
the circular are pocket sized
edition of Hitler's Mein Kampf
and the Ku Klux Khan and
Gerald K Smith couldn't do
better.
Il say to vote for Gov Dewey,
if you want to save America"
urges Riker demanding an
American family" society of
white men who would have
quote: well paid servants of
other racial families that are
inspired and BORN FOR THAT
PURPOSE :"
A complete reputation Of
this devil-inspired demi-god by
Tom Dewey is in order. Dewey
made the President state his
stand on communism, now it is
Dewey's turn to state his stand
on Fascism. Daily papers please
copy.
NOT COMMUNISTS
Aside from the ugly racial
implications assailing both
candidates and the very queS-
tionable elements supporting
both men (aS we predicted
weeks ago. the Presidential
Election should finally settle
down to a contest in which the
best man should win. We will
know land vote) the result
next week.
Dewey, Bricker, Mrs Luce,
and other COP leaders have
tragically made religious is
sue out of this campaign,
charging all liberals, including
the President, as being "con-
munists," Moreover there are
undercurrent attacks upon the
Jews through attacks on Mr..
Hillman. Since many Irish
Catholics, including the Mayor
of Boston, Kelley of Chicago,
and the majority of the PAC
committee are not communists,
the loose talk of Mrs Luce and
others should never have been
injected into this campaign.
This stupid strategy of the
COP has not left a very pleas
ant taste with many voters re-
CARELESS as to the outcome next
week. Far better use of COP
efforts in championing the
cause of oppressed races co1ld
easily have been employed in
stead of this "Luce-talk" latter
campaign.
DEWEY HAS CHANCE
While most indications point
to the popular reelection of Mr.
Roosevelt, there is a possibility
that Dewey can win. 1t is fool
ish to ignore this fact and the
