Where mother of a race watched sunny rain
Before red flashes told of stormy night.
She looked afar, through misty ages vast,
And saw her progeny the scorn of men,
Fur scattered, trod ho earth to rise again,
And hold distinction, though the world should last
Till sun and planets fell in void of time
And light was scant as when the world was born.
She saw her sons surmount the stings of scorn
With sad eyes and with brow of care, sublime
Beheld universal motherhood's young
Cease their dire bickerings, site stood aiming
The children of the earth unstirred by strife;
Sass' creeds lose force in the long ages' span,
One God, one hope, and peace overspread the earth,
Regenerative man's new heart at bright,
The soul's broad scope, and brotherhood of man.
Id aspect her breast throbbing with new life;

Pessimism in the Pulpit

The distinguished editor of the Reform Advocate must have had a
bad case of indigestion when he penned his editorials for a recent issue
of his journal. Contrasting the bitter but half-baked tirade against the
ministry recently published by an undergraduate in one of our
theological colleges with a more hopeful word sent out to the members
of that organization by the President of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis, Dr. Hirsch in words of biting satire expresses his full
agreement with the younger writer. To be sure, this is not the first
time by any means that the distinguished rabbi of Chicago has heaped
abuse upon his colleagues in the ministry and expressed his conviction
that the profession of which he has been an honored member during
these many years, is without influence or the power of leadership.
Of course, every man must judge of his own influence more or less
subjectively. He must know whether or not he has been able to drive
home his message and to bring inspiration to the people who ought to
depend upon him for guidance and help. Perhaps Dr. Hirsch is doing
himself an injustice when thus frankly he admitS as he does by implica-
tion, that his life's labor has been in vain. For our part, though many
a time we might have wished that Dr. Hirsch's pulpit methods had been
different than they are, we yet believe that many a life has been
enriched by his teachings and many a man has been saved through him
to himself and to society. In better mood, we feel sure that Dr. Hirsch
would fully agree to this.
But be that as it may, the fulminations which Dr. Hirsch has di-
rected against the Central Conference of American Rabbis do not change
our convictions that the Jews of this country do look to the rabbis for
leadership and guidance. Were thte writer not convinced of this fact
long ago, he would have sought other fields of endeavor where his efforts
might have met with better response. Some rabbis, indeed some minis-
ters of all denominations, there may be who for some reason or another
fail to influence the people to whom they preach. They are the men to
whom the ministry is no more than a means of a bread and butter liveli-
hood. They follow where the minister should lead. But the fact that
there are a few such does not justify a wholesale indictment of the
ministry.

For our part, the editor of the Reform Advocate notwithstanding,
we believe that the virile minister today is wielding an influence over the
people's lives as potent as that of any man who stands in a place of
leadership. This does not imply that the ministry has reached the height
of its power. But it will never do so until it believes in itself. The
distinguished Chicago rabbi surely remembers the report of the spies
who said: "We appeared as grasshoppers in our own eyes and so did
we appear in theirs." We are no greater and no better and no stronger
than we believe ourselves to be.

The New Year

We

may be pardoned for using this column for reference to an
organization in which logically we have a peculiar and personal interest.
But the latest work sponsored by the Men's Temple Club is of such
character as seems to justify us in calling special attention to it. In
bringing Dr. Englander of the Hebrew Union College to this city for
a series of lessons in Jewish history, the Men's Temple Club is not only
doing a very telling service to the cause of Judaism in Detroit, but it is
setting an example that is worthy of emulation by similar organizations
throughout the country.

There are so many societies Jewish in name that engage in prac-
tically no activities essentially and distinctively Jewish in character that
it is pleasing to find here and there some society that recognizes its
obligation to justify its Jewish title. These are serious times through
which we are living, and it behooves the Jew now more than ever to
know the splendid part that his people have played upon the stage of
history and in the forwarding of the processes of civilization. We who
have been called the People of the Book are unfortunately often
strangely unfamiliar with the contents of the great Book of Books for
which humanity is indebted to us.
A course of lectures such as is to be given by Prof. Englander
under the auspices of the Men's Temple Club will go far to awaken an
interest in the history, the literature, and the philosophy of Judaism
and by that token, it will give the Jew a new sense of pride and
dignity
in his historic heritage. Had the Men's Temple Club done nothing
more than to sponsor this course of lectures, it would have justified
its existence. But it is doing much more than this. It is a wide awake
and constantly functioning organization.

of orphaned children, hungry, nakeu
and homeless, their young lives
poisoned by terror and vagabondage.
"Such is the spectacle presented by
a large part of the Jewry of Eastern
Europe. Never since the middle ages
has the Pogrom Monster appeared in
such terrible guise. What torrents of
blood has he made to flow! How
many victims has he departed of lite.
What an immense abyss of misery
has he dug! On how vast a scale have
human law and divine truth been out-
raged and set at nought! And what,
perhaps, is still more terrible is the
continuation of the anguish, the haunt-
ing fears of every hour, the dread of
a final catastrophe which keeps all
minds on a poignant alert. Millions
of human beings are troubled and
paralyzed, abandoned to fatalism and
despair. This tragedy has not failed
to find a response in the hearts of the
Jews of all countries and we believe
in those of all good men through
Europe and America. But help on an
adequate scale is difficult to find.
"It is to the League of Nations that
the suffering populations now turn
their eyes in a last effort of hope—
to the League which personifies Right,
Liberty and moral authority as against
Might, Tyranny and Violence. We
ask of the League a testimony of
sympathy which will reassure our
sorely tried brethren, the stretching
out of a hand which will show them
that they are not abandoned and that
there may yet be a chance of lifting
their heads and returning to a life
of peace, of fertile work and, perhaps,
of happiness.
"We beg of Your Excellency to

The question contained in the title of this editorial is suggested by
a cable sent to the Chicago Tribune by its foreign news service under

the headline "Berlin" and the (late "Dec. 20th." The sender of the
cable which is copyrighted by the Chicago Tribune is the well known
foreign correspondent—Mr. George Settles. It reads as follows:

Count Reventlow attacks President Wilson and Leon Bourgeois,
winners of the Nobel peace prizes, and the Free Masons in an article
printed here today, entitled, "The Nobel Prize and Free Masonry."
Reventlow, who is known as a fire-eater, a military critic, and •
friend of the Hohenzollern, alleges there is a conspiracy on the part of
the Free Masons to rule the world.

"President Wilson has never done anything for peace," Raventlow
writes. 'He could have shortened the war in 1916, but he had already
pledged himself to follow England's policies.
"Wilson's peace plans followed the Free Masons' international plan.
Germany has become • chaotic republic instead of the former strong
monarchy which was • stumbling block for the world's Free Masonry.
"In 1916 the American Free Mason magazine declared that Free
Masonry was pledged against kings and junketer'. Mr. Wilson was the
conscious instrument of the Free Masons.
Throughout the war and
peace conferences Mr. Wilson carried out the aims and spirit of the
Free Masons and the Jewish organizations.

March 27 Chosen by Combined He-
brew Schools for Performance in
National Tongue,

Detroit Jews, March 27 will be given
their first opportunity of seeing a
Hebrew performance presented on a
large scale, the feature of which will
be a four-act play, presented in the
modern Hebrew language.
The United Hebrew Schools of De-
troit have rented the Orchestra Hall
for that day for the presentation of
a historical Hebrew play by the com-
bined Hebrew schools of this city, the
purpose being further to spread the
Hebrew language in this city.
Bernard Isaacs, superintendent of
the combined schools here, who is in
charge of the arrangements for the
play, said that until now the progress
of the Hebrew schools here was in-
ward, the object now being to spread
outwardly, so that a greater number
of Detroit Jews may be enlisted for
the Hebrew movement.
An interesting feature of the Hebrew
performance will be the singing of
Hebrew songs by a choir of 150 boys
and girls from the local schools,
under the supervision of Cantor A.
Minkowsky, of the Shaarey Zedek.
Cantor Minkowsky is already making
preparations for the training of the
choir.

nati Aug. 25, 1860, Ile canoe of a fam-
ily which had long maintained high
ideals and at an' early age he felt the
inclination to be a religious teacher.
After complethig his studies at the
University of Cincinnati and the He-
brew Union he went to Texas, where
he served several small synagogues.
By a coincidence his first charge
was of Temple Emanti-E1 at Dallas,
Texas, where he ministered from 1884
to 1885 and thence he went to the
Congregation Benai Israel at Galves-
ton. From this post he was called
to the one which he now leaves. He
was the fourth rabbi of I:mann-El,
which was founded in a room at Clin-
ton and Grand streets on April 13,
1845. His predecessors were Dr. Leo
Merzbacher, Dr. Samuel Adler and
Dr. Gustav Gottheil.
Upon first coming to remianu-El, Dr.
Silverman served as junior rabbi to
Dr. Gottheil, who founded the Emanu-
El Sisterhood. Upon assuming full di-
rection of the temple, Dr. Silverman
established the Emanu-ffl Brother-
hood, an organization launched thir-
teen years ago. As first President of
the brotherhood he did much to stimu-
late interest in philanthropic work
among his co-religionists through the
United Hebrew Charities. He also
represented his faith in the Council of
Religions held in connection with the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
Although occupied with the many
interests of his important charge and
with the multifarious activities grow-
ing out of his philanthropic work, Dr.
Silverman has found time to be the"
author of many important books and
pamphlets dealing with the worship
and the traditions of his fellow re-
ligion'sts. Ile has gone particularly
deeply into research work and is the
autho of the article on Judaism in the

conclusions that I have here set down.
It was a letter from an acquaintance,

while our neighbors go to church; and
so we can all keep it together in the

of its grim truth, and that it is in no
sense a creature of the imagination.

does not require of them that they

occurs on the last Saturday of the
present month. After all, Jews can
present no more prominent mark of
segregation than, in a Christian corm
try like this, remaining the one small
portion of the population that does not
give itself up to the insistent calls of
Yuletide. Jews, therefore, who be-
lieve that assimilation is the be-all
and end-all of their existence, as Rabbi
Mattock a few (lays ago was honest
enough to say unequivocally was his
opinion, ought not to maintain the
deep and abiding mark of separation
which the non-observance of Christ-
mas must necessarily involve. And
