to announce that on next Sunday our
pulpit will be occupied by Rabbi Emil

the most popular ministers of the

Rabbi Leipziger's visit because his
boyhood was spent in Detroit and his
earliest religious training was re-

be: "Is All Israel One?"
The sermon on Sabbath morning of

Because of the absence from the
city of the rabbis and many of the
officers of the congregation and its
affiliated societies, who will be in at-
tendance at the Golden Jubilee meet-
ing of the Union of American Ile-
brew Congregations, the week's ac-
tivities will not be quite as numerous
as usual. However, all regularly
scheduled meetings will take place as
heretofore.
Particular attention is called to
the fact that Rabbi Berkowitz will
be absent from the city from Jan. 18
to 26 and Rabbi Franklin leaves De-
troit on Jan. 21 to be gone about 12
days. No functions at which the
services of the rabbis are required
should be fixed for these dates. In
their absence from the city all mat-
ters pertaining to congregational
business should be communicated to
the administration offices of the Tem-
ple, Empire 6146.

those well meaning but misguided co-religionists who are urging such
step should appreciate the thoughtful Gentile view. Says the editor
•
of the Freeman:
"Discrimination against Jewish candidates for admission
to American colleges and universities is just the kind of thing
that helps convert the members of a racial minority into a
solidly organized clan. Rabbi Louis Newman of New York
City has said recently that 'a Jewish university in America
is inevitable of the present policy of discrimination and ex-
clusion gains ground.' The rabbi believe that the new uni-
versity should be Jewish only in the sense that it should be
under Jewish control, and free from anti-Semitism; but it is
too much to expect of human nature that an institution founded
in self-defense could be kept from prejudice against the non-
Jewish population. Rabbi Newman says that many staunch
Jews will look upon the establishment of such a university,
not as a solution of the problem of academic anti-Semitism,
but as a confession of inability to solve it. This, we think, is
putting it too mildly, for the solidification of the minority can-
not but serve to increase the friction between the groups."

That statement appeared in the New York Times. If Evans said
that, then he has even less brains than he is credited with. With such
leadership no wonder the Klan is on the defensive today.

"I ram firm in my belief that the law passed at the last ses-

public schools to submit to a loyalty test is a direct violation
of the letter and spirit of the laws of our state, unless you are
prepared to take the stand that this great army of useful
public servants is incapable of being responsible for the abuse
of their rights. No reason I can find justifies the existence
of this law upon the statute books. It is wrong in principle.
It is a violation of the spirit of our Constitution and it is un-
warranted interference with freedom of opinion—one of the
foundation stones of democratic government. Throughout
the history of the world where people have allowed the gov-
ernment to think for them, the government has been unsuc-
cessful. Part of the success of America lies in the fact that
the government permits the people to think for themselves."

For All Seasons
The Coach
The Cabriolet
Closed car owners will find the Essex Coach gives
all essential utilities for which they have paid far
more in the past. And it costs little more than the
open model.
Business men, who first of all want certain, depend-
able transportation, are quite naturally enthusiastic
about the Essex Cabriolet, also a show feature.
It is sturdy, good looking and comfortable for year
round service. The body stays tight and quiet.
Doors keep their snug fit. Upholstery and rugs are
made of long wearing materials.
Lightness, economy and reliability are qualities you
will appreciate all the more, because of its remark-
able ability and performance.
An all-weather car. Large carrying space in rear
deck. Ample leg room. Comfortable, deep seats.
Handles easily. Long hours of driving 'do not
cause fatigue.
Its smart appearance appeals to women drivers,
too, and its simplicity of operation and rare need for
attention makes it ideal mechanically for their use.
