once undertaken by the society and now carried on by munic-
ipal and state organizations is even a more interesting study
than is presented by the work actually being done today. In-
deed a survey of the history of the United Jewish Charities
in Detroit, though the organization still lacks a year of being
a quarter of a century old, would furnish a birdseye view of
the development of social service effort not only in this city
but indeed in the entire country. One after the other, activities
that were the result of private initiative have been taken over
by city and state. It was pointed out for instance at the meet-
ing that in the first years of the organization, the United Jew-
ish Charities was compelled to stress such activities as manual
training, as the furnishing of bathing facilities and sanitary
housing, all of which are now more or less under public super-
vision and control. The schools have taken over as a part of
their regularcurriculum many of the phases of work that once
fell entirely upon social and philanthropic agencies. There-
fore, the fact that a local organization such as the United
Jewish Charities is not doing all of the things that once it did
must not be regarded as a proper source of criticism. There
is more wisdom in knowing when to drop an activity than there
is in doggedly hanging on to it once the need of it has been
outgrown.
But on the other hand, in place of the old activities, the
need of new ones is constantly manifesting itself. Never has
there been a time when the great social agencies had resting
upon them more burdensome and more significant tasks than
in our present day. With the ever growing complexity of urban
life, with the infusion of new elements into our population,
and with the breaking down of the morale of large masses of
the people in the aftermath of the war, any program that looks
to the physical, the moral, and the recreational needs of the
dependent and delinquent classes in the community and that
seeks the restoration of these classes to social usefulness must
be a full one.
The United Jewish Charities according to reports sub-
mitted at the annual meeting has vision and earnestness of
purpose. It is a pity that more of our people are not taking
a personal interest in the program and methods of the organiza-
tion. We believe that satisfactory as the work of the society
is at the present time, its efficiency would be measurably in-
creased if back of the executive officers and the professional
staff of the organization, was the wholehearted and loyal sup-
port of a great community.

Our New York Letter
A Unitarian Mission In Detroit.
Unitarianism has never represented a militant faith. Unlike
the older churches of Christianity, it has not stressed a mis-
sionary effort or adopted Orthodox revival methods in bring-
ing new recruits into its fold. Very much like Judaism, it has
depended upon a sure and steady growth from within. It has
believed that as truth gains a surer hold upon the minds of
people, that they would naturally drift into a communion whose
doctrines may be tested in the crucible of reason and whose
dogmas find no basis in myth or miracle. It is no doubt because
of this conservatism in method on the part of the church which
is of all our sister churches the most liberal in thought, that
the growth of its numbers has been comparatively slow.
In rather sharp contrast to this traditional attitude of the
Unitarian Church, the local congregation of that denomina-
tion is about to introduce from Jan. 21 to Feb. 4, a series of
meetings which if not revivalistic in character, are intended to
spread the gospel of the church to a very much wider circle
of hearers than those who are presently acquainted with it.
To quote the public announcement that has been sent broad-
cast, the speakers "will set forth the clear, simple, convincing
appeal of Unitarianism and the applicabliity of the principles
of liberal Christianity to every important modern problem. The
great truths of the past and the present, will be stated and
explained frankly and fearlessly with exact fairness and un-
failing courtesy."
The preachers who are to be brought here to lead this series
of meetings stand out among the master minds of the Unitarian
Church. The Reverend William Laurence Sullivan of New
York City, and the Reverend Harold E. B. Speight of Boston,
are well known not merely in their own denomination, but they
have a country-wide reputation as men who are accustomed to
clear, keen thinking and they are moreover orators of no mean
ability.
We believe that this effort on the part of our Unitarian
friends is suggestive and worth while. Undoubtedly there are
hundreds, perhaps thousands, in a community like this who are
Unitarian in thought, but who are nominally affiliated with
one or the other of the Trinitarian churches. Such a campaign
of education will unquestionably cause persons of this type to
do some deep thinking with the result that perhaps many of
them will take their courage in their hands and identify them-
selves outwardly with the church organization to which
sympathetically they belong.
What our Unitarian friends are doing might also be sug-
gestive to the Jews. Many of us have perhaps too long hidden
our lights under a bushel. Did we with a little more aggression
speak forth the message of Judaism to the world through our
pulpits, through our Jewish press, through our tracts and
through such other means of educational propaganda as are
legitimately ours, it is entirely likely that many of those who
in spirit belong to the synagog, but who stand without its
doors simply because they do not understand, would be moved
to come within.
Perhaps the meeting at New York will have given impetus
to a more aggressive campaign of education both of Jews and
non-Jews as to the teachings of our faith. Once clear thinking
men and women know what we stand for as now, alas, they
do not, much prejudice presently existing will be wiped away
and a new respect will come for a faith whose creed is the
creed of brotherhood under the Fathership of God and whose
dogmas are all amenable to the laws of reason. We shall
watch with interest the campaign of our Unitarian friends.
Perhaps it will give to the Jews some concrete suggestion as to
a method of propaganda of their own.
Annual Meeting of the United Jewish Charities.
• The annual meeting of the United Jewish Charities which
took place on Tuesday of the past week, was not as largely
attended as the importance of the occasion would have merited.
The organization is doing an ever growing social work varied
IL
program is large and varied and
significant. The conventions were
ushered in by a "Go to Synagogue"
campaign. There is to be a large re_
ligious rally Monday evening at Car-
negie Hall with Justice Irving Leh-
man as one of the speakers, and a
similar meeting in Brooklyn. Louis
Marshall is scheduled to welcome the

rated into the religious life made it
difficult for reform to affect the lives
of those who persisted in asserting
those features of Jewish life that they
regarded as essential for the existence
of the race or nationality."
In other words, by the rejection of
Jewish nationalism and repudiation
of racial consciousness, the Zionists
insist the Reformers are doomed to
get along without the majority of the
Jews.
This view naturally, and radically,
differs from the views expounded by
some of the latter-day exponents of
Reform. No Jeremiad about the de-
pletion of Reform strength is found
in the big holiday number of the
American Hebrew, for example. Ar-
regaling to itself the right to reject
"those elements in the Bible that were
of fugitive value" and rejoicing that
Reform Judaism "accepts only thosq
that promulgate eternal verities," the
Hebrew delights that Reform "has
broken through the barrier of na-
tionalism and the segregating walls
of the Ghetto complex." The goal of
modern Judaism is "true universal-
ism," according to this view. And the
road to achievement leads through the
Hebrew Union College becoming "the
leading American academy of theo-
logy," which "will advance the com-
ing of the day of the universal re-
ligion."
It must be observed that this un-
usual gathering has left the great
body of Jews "cold." If the amount
of space in the Yiddish press is any
sort of index to the interest shown
by the Jewish masses in the Reform
movement, then this interest is mighty
small. There has been by and large
far more publicity in the general
press than in the Yiddish newspapers.
The fault may lie with the publicity
managers, but it may lie much, much
deeper. It may lie in the indifference,
if not antipathy, of the masses to
Reform. It indubitably does rest
there. The million and a half Jews
—whether orthodox, conservative or
irreligious—are not Reformers. This
is not surprising. If the notoriously
inexact classification of "German"
and "Russian" Jews still applies, and
if Reform is the religion of the for-
mer, it is not at all astonishing that
at most only a possible ten thousand
Jews in New York are on the rolls
of the several Reform Temples. And
if in the nature of things people
evince interest only in those men,
things and movements with which
they are even remotely identified, it
becomes less shocking to bring one's
self to admit that it is possible to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
the founding of "American Judaism"
without causing as much as a stir in
the hearts of the multitudes of Jews
in this city.
Not a word of warning is sounded
here of the loss of vigor suffered by
Reform Judaism and consequenity not
a suggestion of a remedy calculated
to restore that virility. Others
(Rabbi Frisch of this city, Rabbi Lef-
kowitz of Dallas), do complain of
"spiritual impovrishment" and cry out
for "intensification, a revival, a
renaissance of the spirit that was in
our fathers, but not the American
Hebrew for whom a universal religion
represents the treatment of Reform
ailments, and the most pressing of
present-day needs.
That this abysmal estrangement
exists is painfully acknowledged by
some leaders of the Reform movement,
and strikingly indicated by those of
its adversraies who have taken the
trouble to notice the Golden Jubilee.

Longing For Jerusalem
Oh, city of the world, with sacred splendor bleat,
My spirit yearns to thee from out the far-off West,
A stream of love wells forth when I recall thy day,
Now is thy temple waste, thy glory passed away.
Had I an eagle's wings, straigh twould I fly to thee,
Moisten thy holy dust with wet cheeks streaming free.
Oh, how I long for thee! albeit thy King has gone,
Albeit where balm once flowed, the serpent dwells alone.
Could I but kiss thy dust, so would I fain expire,
As sweet as honey then, my passion, my desire!

stops to consider what remarkable
progress has been made by the Keren
Ilayesod since that critical period, he
is certain to adopt an even more op-
timistic attitude for the cause of Pal-

Futility of Anti-Semitism
11 lute the renewed anti-Semitic
movements throughout the European
countries inevitably hurt our people,
they are futile in the long run, judg-
ing by the power we have evinced
to survive persecution and in the long
run to prove the fittest Mark Twain
wrote of the Jew:
"The Jew has made a marvelous
fight in this world, in all the ages,
and has done it with his hands tied
behind him. The Egyptian, the
Babylonian, and the Persian rose,
filled the planet with sound and
splendor, then faded to dream-stuff
and passed away; the Greek and
the Roman followed and made a
vast noise, and they are gone;
other peoples have sprung up and
held their torch high for a time,
but it burned out, and they sit in
twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, heat them
all, and is now what he always was,
exhibiting no decadence, no infirmi-
ties of age, no weakening of his
parts, no slowing of his energies,
no dulling of his alert and aggres-
sive mind."
If the world's anti-Semites, includ-
ing our Detroit "landsman," are under
the impression they can exterminate
the Jew, perhaps the above quotation
from Mark Twain will convince them
to the contrary.
Russia's Anti-Religious Policy
M. Klishko, the Russian representa-
tive in London, has made a state-
ment that the Jews have gained by
the Soviet's anti-religious policy. He
declared that no religion has gained
from this policy as much as the Jew-
ish, and that the Jews are now for
the first time immune from persecu-
tions and enjoying complete freedom.
Which statement is ridiculous when
taken at its face value. While it is
true that the Soviet has prevented
pogroms against the Jews, it must be
remembered that there is something
much worse than a physical pogrom
and murder, and that is a spiritual
pogrom and the prevention of Jewish
national and religiuos education.
While the Jews individually undoubt-
edly benefit from the freedom granted
them by the Bolsheviki, the more pre-
vention of religious training of the
youth is harmless to the people as a
whole because it helps place another
nail in the coffin of Russian Jewry.
Cantor Piny Minkowsky of Odessa,
now in this country, who is un-
doubtedly one of the most cultured
Jews in the world, told the writer last
week that there is absolutely no hope
for the future Jewish generation in
Russia. lie said that the youth is
not only growing up in ignorance of
things Jewish, but is being trained to
have a contempt for everything re-
ligious. Cantor Minkowsky said that
the coming generation is getting a
training of "robbers," and he knows
whereof he speaks, having seen the
rise of the Soviet and the activities
of the Bolshevik)on the very field of
action. There is no doubt but that
