ONI()N

I find this editorial in one of the Hearst papers. Misguided zealots
read it with profit to themselves:

The Rev. Mr. Bowlby, engaged in enforcing the laws to
protect the Sabbath, suggests that till those who seek to change
the laws in regard to Sunday observance should he obliged im-
mediately to quit the country. But that isn't the general un-
derstanding, The understanding is that the majority may change
laws as they choose, including Sunday laws, if they proceed
legally. Nobody, not even the Rev. Mr. Bowlby, has the au-
thority to make laws eternal, or to say that a citizen must leave
the United States because he would nether, on it Sunday, take
a walk on the grass with a golf club than hear the Rev. Dr.
13owlby preach. All should remember that the final authority
is in the majority of the citizens, not„ fortunately fur the na-
tion, in any individual, not even in the clergy or in any other
class."

I am glad that the Nation at lead can find • silver lining to the
Jewish Question in this country. In the current issue it has this odic

tori•l paragraph:

"It is an encouraging fact that despite the inclination to

discriminate against Jews, which manifiests itself here and there
in our colleges, the very people who whisper about the 'Jew-
ish invasion,' and suggest limitation in private, are ashamed
publicly to defend their position. Just what happened at the
meeting of the Senior Council at Syracuse University we to nut
know. The question of limitation of Jews was discussed, it does
not matter much how. The significant thing is that the Chan-
cellor and the students fell upon each other's necks in All
ecstasy of denial. Reports from Cambridge indicate that while
the flurry is not all over yet, Harvard is becoming, a little
ashamed of itself for having taken President Lowell's fears so
seriously. After all the old American tradition is not dead,
and the discussion has made many educators beside President
Judson of the University of Chicago realize that 'an institution
of learning is primarily for those who want learning, without
regard to sex, race or social status,' and to ask his question:
'Are we to conduct an institution of learning or an amuse-
ment park?' In time even Columbia and New York Universi-
ties may come to their senses."

Does this apply to you and your organization? Have you ever
stopped to think how many Ch n societies have invited rabbis to
speak before them? How many Christian pulpits have been occupied
by rabbis? How many societies or brotherhoods of temples and syna-
gogues have ever invited the more prominent local Christian clergy
to speak to them. Has yours? Is it true that Christian organizations
invite prominent Jewish ministers to address them fiar more frequently
than do Jewish groups invite Christian ministers? Maybe we are
thoughtless, too thoughtless, and when Sisterhoods and Brotherhoods
of temples are making up their programs for the next year, it might
be well to have their program committees keep this in mind. I am
sure it will help do what we talk so much about, namely, promote •
hotter understanding between the two groups.

I was prompted to write the preceding paragraph by • comment
made in this week's American Israelite on an article of mine con-
kerning what I think to be • lack of appreciation of the menace to
the Jew in this country. The Israelite says:

d fire eater in New York, whose letters
Sig Saxe, that mild -m
to me are sometimes written on asbestos, contributes to the gaiety of
the nation by sending the following telegram to Henry Ford:

"If it can be arranged, will you take the Coue treatment
for your anti-Semitism, which treatment, I understand, will
cure you and cost you nothing. (Signed) S. Saxe."

Thus far there is nothing to indicate that Mr. Ford has replied.

I hope that some Catholic leader was courageous enough to point
out to Mr. Hillaire Belloc, the noted anti-Semitic, that he showed poor
judgment in attacking the Jews. Mr. Belloc has been lecturing under
the auspices of the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organiza-
tions in this country. The K. of C. has shown itself broad-minded in
its relations with Jews and Jewish groups and it is • pity that they
should encourage the appearance in this country of one who hiss shown
himself so vindictively anti-Jewish. I hope some Catholic will con-
sider this matter before Belloc I the country.

The astonishing use of "Rabbi" Judah Elfenbein, the self-con-
fessed knave who, during the period when he was converted to Greek
Orthodoxy in Austria, was responsible for propaganda accusing his
fellow Jews of using Christian blood on certain Jewish holy days, and
who was undoubtedly responsible for the conviction of Leopold Hil.-
ner in Austria on the charge of ritual murder, should awaken Ortho-
dox Jewry in this country. Here comes • scoundrel of the first order,

cations, his last charge being the Jacob H. Schiff Center in the Bronx.
My readers are undoubtedly familiar with the cis.; how he was dis-
covered and compelled to relinquish hiScongregation and to leave

the pulpit.

The point I want to emphasise is that it is all too easy for irre.pon-
sibles and undesirables to become "rabbis." There should be some sort
of an investigation by some group authority as to • man's record be-
fore he be permitted to lake charge of • congregation. And this
Llfenbein was let off entirely too easy. It seems as if some of our
Orthodox brethren shed tears that he should be removed. A man as

admits, should have been kicked out •nd given a lesson he would not

Nucleus for Organization.

The necleus for this organization
were the "I3ikur ('holing' the "Linath
Ilazedek" and other local societies for
the relief of the sick. But, even in
pre-•ar days these organizations knew
very little, if anything, of hygiene
and sanitation. They raised funds for
furnishing physicians and medicines
to the sick poor of the communities,
outlets for the philanthropic urge of
the people. In the general debacle
due to the war they had ceased to
function. the first task was to recog-
nize these societies to include young
people willing to co-operate and Cu
equip them with knowledge and ma-
terials for a campaign of sanitation
and hygiene. °
Together with the older Jew of the
one-time "Linath liazedek" the mem-
bership was extended to include the
younger pedagogue, the educated ar-
tisan, the daughters of middle-class
families. Courses in practical nurs-
ing was instituted and committees
were selected to direct the compaigns
for public health. These committees,
among other duties, were made re-
sponsible for the money which the
conunittees were expected to contri-
ute toward re-building hospitals, etc.
In short, the communities themselves
undertook the task of creating higher
sanitary standards and improving
health conditions.
Concluding Lecture on

"Taking it for granted that Mr. Joseph's fears are justified,
perhaps he or someone else will tell us what we can do to pre-
vent such a catastrophe from occurring. The Israelite, how-
ever, does not believe that the anti-Semites in the United tates
would ever resort to violence, or to physical outrages of any
kind. As far as their assaults, verbal and in print, are con-
cerned, retorts to no good. The only effective cure for anti-
Jewish prejudice and Jew-baiting must come from Christian
churches, and as long as their leaders take no step in this direc-
tion, it is hard to say how the situation is to be improved."

How much enjoyment you get out of life will depend directly
on how well you master habits of thrift.
Thrift requires the learning of two things. Frugality in saving

Opening.a savings account is the first step in the wise handling
of money. You thereby invest your money in a safe, convenient
