Senator Spencer.

It is a peculiarity of the Jew that he reacts unfavorably to
praise as often as he does to condemnation. This attitude of
mind has recently been called "The Persecution Complex."
When the Jew is attacked and maligned, he is, of course,
deeply injured but very often when he is praised to his face
or is told of his greatness by a non-Jew, he turns away, suspect-
ing the sincerity of the one who lauds him and skeptically mut-
ters, "Methinks he protests too much." Unquestionably the
Jew should feel resentment toward those who mete out praise
without that sincerity of conviction which commands respect,
but when a man like Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri
speaks of the Jew in terms of praise, we can but feel a justifiable
sense of pride.
At the opening meeting of the drive for the Palestine
Foundation Fund, Senator Spencer displayed a knowledge of
the Jew and of his problems worthy of any Jewish scholar and
leader. Those who had the privilege of hearing the Senator
did not feel that they were being patronized or patted on the
back by one who had some ulterior motive, but rather they
knew that those generous words were the result of sincere and
honest knowledge.

Lay Leadership.

DANCE

THIRD INFORMAL CHARITY BALL

America to step forward into positions of trust and responsibil-
ity. The Men's Clubs connected with our Temples are doing
a work the importance of which can hardly be calculated at
this time, but it can be safely prophesied that from the ranks
of those who stand at the head of these organizations will
come a lay-leadership which will enable the rabbis, more than
ever before, to devote themselves to those rabbinical duties
which are the blessed amenities of that sacred calling.

Dr. Grant Replies.

There are many interesting angles to the controversy which
has arisen between Bishop William T. Manning and Dr. Percy
Stickney Grant of New York City. It is a controversy which
has aroused a great deal of animosity on both sides and of
course a great deal of theological bias. We naturally have our
opinions upon the theological merits of the subject under dis-
cussion, but it is not for us to express such an opinion.
The interesting part of the whole question is the fact that
the Reverend Dr. Grant is a man who has the courage of his
convictions. His clear and succinct statement printed in toto
in the New York Times of January 26 definitely indicates the
depths of his beliefs. We have read of late a great deal about
the weakness of the modern pulpit and its inability to take a
firm stand upon questions which are liberal and even radical
in their nature. It has been said that ministers are afraid of
their own shadows and that their messages lack virility.
But when a man like Percy Stickney Grant comes out brave-
ly and honestly with his thoughts upon one of the well nigh
immovable foundation -stones of the conservative church, he
gives a splendid refutation to the accusation of timidity. It is
encouraging to note that there are many leaders of religious
thought today and many of the doctor's own congregation who
stand with him firmly and definitely. It proves that the repre-
sentations of a brave man still find ready and ardent adherence.

Heroic Men and Women.

WAR

Innocents' blood, brings it forth
Merciless, fearless draws its sword,
Human destruction is its law.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!
Fools, respond, your arms lend ;
Brave their honor, they defend.
Blood pours as the waters flow.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!
Its taste is full of bitterness;
Famine, death and distress.
Cease, to settle arguments as of long ago.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!
Tragedies played, what do they leave,
Orphans with tears, only to grieve.
Bodies are cold as the freezing snow.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!
It fills the world with its terror;
Where is the day to erase its error?
It lays the world's progress low.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!
Man says, "In my knowledge, I am wise"
Forgets he in a quarrel, his hands arise!
Still, little man, you must grow.
Oh, that word of pain and woe!

—HENRY PINE, Jaffa, Palestine.

If the World War has shown the
Jew nothing else it has at least opened
his eyes to the tremendous craving
that exists among our people for
learning and knowledge. In spite of
persecutions and sufferings, Jewish
young men and women have done the
impossible to create for themselves
the opportunities of getting an edu-
cation. What helped to satisfy this
fever for knowledge was the loyalty
that was displayed throughout Eu-
rope by the Jewish teachers toward
their profession. hundreds, perhaps
thousands, have gone for days and
weeks without bread, but have con-
tinued to teach that the present Jew-
ish generation remain inherently
Jewish. Dr. Judah Leon Magnes,
who was in Poland recently making a
study of the Jewish school situation
there, wrote in his report to Dr. Cyrus
Adler, chairman of the Cultural Com-
mittee of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee:

"The Jewish teachers are ■
heroic band of men and women.
The cultural workers in every group
and in every place I visited im-
pressed me deeply by their genuine
interest in their wrok, their intelli-
gence and their readiness to make
sacrifices."

The accomplishments of men of this
type stories of whose self-sacrificin g
spirit have been reaching here for th e
past three years, are bound to be o f
everlasting benefit to the entire Jew
ish people.
