By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

In the heart of our Jewish commun-
ity—on Theodore street—a missionary
house that calls itself the "Hebrew—
Christian Mission" is catering to Jew-
ish children. A converted Jew is in
shame of the house which is almost
always empty, except when children's
"classes ' are in session, or when an
entertainment is resorted to as a
means of spicing the attractions for
the 10 and 12 year old youngsters
whom the missionary aims to attract.
An investigation revealed that there
are not many children who yield to the
lure of the attractions at the mission
house. But there are anywhere from
10 to 15 who attend it regularly, thus
creating a condition in the commun-
ity.

There has long been a great difference of opinion among
rabbis as to the appropriate Age for the confirmation of our
boys and girls. For a long time, the traditional age of thirteen
years was accepted as the proper time for the confirmation of
children. On the ground, however, that at such age, the chil-
dren are not sufficiently mature to grasp the meaning of the
ceremony, many of our rabbis have postponed the period of MIDDLE WEST UNITED SYNAGOGUE

The few pioneer members of Temple Beth El who happily
are still with us, will remember gratefully the ministrations of
Dr. Leopold \Vintner whose death at a ripe age has just been
announced. Dr. \Vintner came to Detroit in the pioneer days
of our community. The Jewish population of Detroit at that
time numbered perhaps less than one thousand souls altogether.
Beth El was still a struggling congregation and its services,
though Reform as Reform was counted in those days, were dis-
tinctly of the German type. Moreover, in those days, the office
of the rabbi did not entail as many forms of a service as in the
case today. The whole problem of Jewish and congregational
life was much less complex than it now is. And still it called
for leadership of a high order and for truly consecrated service.
To the standards of those days, Dr. \Vintner fully measured up
alike from the standpoint of scholarship and character.
His later pulpit activities gave him a place of honored rec-
ognition among his colleagues in the land. He was a man uni-
versally respected for his sincerity, for his ability, and for his
manhood. Congregation Beth El of Detroit is proud to have
had him as one of its rabbis. The membership of the Congre-
gation sincerely joins in a sense of sorrow with those who mourn

Pride is generally
R E considered a
vice, but it can also be a virtue, for
there are both the right and the
wrong sorts of pride. A proud man
is the description usually given to one
who considers himself a different be-
ing from his fellows, one cast in a
superior mould, and he generally has
little justification for giving himself
airs. That is an objectionable type,
but there is another that is almost,
if not equally, as objectionable. That
the man who is afraid of himself
and mortally self-conscious, who feels
that everybody is looking down on
him, and so he goes through life with
bowed head and averted eyes, never
asserting himself, never claiming his
just rights, allowing everyone to get
the better of him, and generally lead-
ing a miserable existence.
The only justifiable pride is the
consciousness of worth coupled with
a determination to live up to the
highest that is within us. There are
many sorts of the right kind of pride.
There is personal pride—pride in our
personal appearance, a desire to ap-
pear always neat and tidy. There
is a lot of truth in the adage "Clean-
liness is next to godliness." For an
untidy body is an indication of an
untidy and disorderly mind, the mind
that will easily lend itself to wrong
thoughts and impel wrong actions.
Neatness of person is generally ac-
companied by regularity of habit, and
character is built up of right habit.
Then there is the racial 'mete-
oritic in belonging to a great people.
That pride can only be acquired by
a knowledge of the achievements of
the race to which we bluing. Its pos-
session involves responsibilities. It
will impel us to try to be worthy of
our fathers, to live up to their spirit
of self-sacrifice, to emulate their
achievements, and to strive to carry
on their great traditions. It will
cause US to hold our heads high and
not to be downcast because people
who do not understand us, or envy
or hate us, seek to do us wrong.
And another kind of pride is re-
ligious pride--pride in the great
truths and principles of our faith. It
will help us to order our lives on a
lofty plane Of conduct, to be just and
honorable, to study our language
and literature, to love God and man,
to be prepared to make sacrifices.
These are the right sorts of pride.

The Lesson of the Mustard
Seed

.

A young woman had a little baby
and one (lay it fell sick and died.
The woman was distracted and she
carried her dead baby about from
house to house asking the people if
they had medicine that would bring
her treasure back to life. The peo-
ple pitied her and at last they di-
rected her to the house of a wise man
who would help her.
"Yes," he said, when he heard her
tale, "I can give you such medicine,
but you must first bring me some
mustard seed."
"I will go at once," said the wom-
an, hope lighting up again in her
eyes.

The fable of the man e iti, o t a

Every man has his shadow---which

shadows—but that shadow b e ls nces

ferable. No one can even borrow
someone else's shadow. The law is
very strict against that—the law of
nature.
The unhappy man in the fable went
from saddness to despair and from
despair to panic. So he derided to
fake it .
Ile went to a skiful artificer and
painter, and asked him to it

Whereupon the painter turned round
upon him and said, furiously: "What!
