The Jew through educational proces;ses most show the non-Jew that his genius is now as it ever has been a religiose , genius and not a talunt fur politics or commerce or anything else. The Jew must still show that as the eternal Priest people his supreme mission is to teach the word if Cord to all men of all races in every land—that less prime concern is to bring about Justice and peace through the length and breadth of the world—that the world may be made safe for mankind. If the anti-Defamation League of the Irnai Frith can in a measure spread this gospel of truth we need trot fear the result of anti-Jewish articles fur when the truth shines into the hearts of our fellow-citizens of non-lowish faith they will understand the Jew and they will nit longer malign him.

Supplementary Services The announcement of Temple Beth El that supplementary serv- ices will again be held under the rutspices of the congregation this year has occasioned no surprise in the Jewish community of Detroit. For the past three years the congregation has supplied a great spirit- ual need in the cormmunity by holding supplementary services to which :all un-affiliated men and women were most cordially welcom- ed. The many thousands who have I111 place to worship during the lv of this oppor- foly day season will undoubtedly avail them efts. tunity as they have done in the past years. In holding these services Temple Beth El is performing a plain duty. No congregation has fulfilled its task if it only reaches those who are members. A useful congregation is that which reaches out in the wider community to touch the lives of all those who desire to come tinder its influence. There are many people in every COM- !pithily who for One reason or another And it impossible to affiliate with any Jewish congregation. For those the holding of supple- mentary services is indeed a boon. It is a peculiar fact that no mat- ter how dead may be the spirit of the Jewish soul, interest and re- ligious enthusiasm are awakened during the season of the High Holy days. It is to foster this spirit and to make it possible for the spirit- ual craving of thousands to be satisfied that Temple Ileth El is pre- senting to the entire community an opportunity to worship at these services during the festival season. Because of the phenominal growth of the Congregation it is im- possible to take care of the throngs which might wish to attend services at the Temple proper, but this difficulty has been removed by obtaining Orchestra Ilall for Rush I lashonah eve, Sunday.

It is encouraging to note that the large congregations through- out the country have followed Temple Beth El in arranging supple- mentary services. It will be a happy day ha - :\merican Jewry when all congregations make it possible for every Jewish individual in the community to worship at least during the Holy clays. DR.

Surely, they are not in keeping with the American spirit of "Fair Play" which should actuate every- one in the country, including those foreign birth and influence. It goes without saying that incendi- ary articles ofthis sort would poison the minds of any class of readers. and undoubtedly lied a particularly fruitful field in the minds of a people already satu- rated with Anti.tientitisin.

In busy Jewish homes there enters rest; The weary soul no longer is depressed, A Sabbath calm has come, the children stray And prattle every sombre care away, Our Friday night has made our portals blest!
