Rabbi Franklin's Bible Lecture.:
A splendid group of men and wo-
men attended the opening lecture by
Rabbi Franklin who is delivering a
course on the subject "A Literary
Study of the Bible" under the auspices
of the Young People's Temple club.
The interest aroused by this first lec-
ture augurs well for the enthusiastic
continuance of this course. The next
lecture will be deliyered on Friday
evening, Dec. 15.
"Sonnino was a Jew by race, a Protestant by faith, and a
native of Egypt; he was born of an Italian-Jewish father and
a Scotch mother on the banks of the Nile. Sonnino's grand-
father migrated from the Ghetto of Leghorn, Italy."

The Menace, of Aurora, Mo., sends me • marked copy of an article
appearing in its last issue, an article which interested me very much.
The editor writes:

synagogues, regularly, in which the Jews are alleged to beseech
the
Jehovah to confound the Gentile and overcome them in in-

the Yankee point of view, and to the casual reader it might
have sounded genuine. But this paper had reasons for doubt-
ing its authenticity, and we delayed printing it, determined that
investigation should be made before giving it any credence
whatever. The result is that we have found that the prayers
issued by the Jews in their worship referring to this nation
breathe the spirit of patriotism."

NEW YORK.—Entirely unexpect-
ed, the first idea that really caught
on at the first of the Palestine De-
velopment Council conferences in
New York City, Tuesday, Nov. 21,
at the Hotel Martinque, was that the
Palestine Development Council should
organize 100 Jews with at least $10,-
000 spare capital each, who should
either settle in Palestine or proceed
there next summer and arrange to
stay one year and put their capital
into the country. The difference of
opinion was as to the amount each
should take with him. But the pro-
posal, which was made to some 50
recent visitors to Palestine, was
received and some offered to
