Glendale 9300 Chronicle Our New York Letter Closed Synagogs. We have never been able to understand the attitude of rab- bis and of congregations that have consented to close the doors of their houses of worship throughout the summer months. We recognize the difficulties especially in small communities, of gathering together week by week any considerable number of worshippers during the heated term. But even though there be the merest handful whose hearts yearn for the courts of their God, the opportunity to come to the synagog should not be de- nied to them. It is not necessary that every service be a preach- ing service. As a matter of fact, it is our definite conviction that there is too much sermonizing. We believe that the sermon of the average minister among the Jews and the non-Jews would be more stimulating and more worth while if the preacher were not called upon to speak as frequently and upon such a variety of subjects as is now the case. It is practically impossible for any man to do full justice to his task who in addition to the multiplicity of duties of all sorts that weigh upon the ministry of a large congregation, must preach two or three addresses every week. In the summer months, the sermon could there- fore be dispensed with. But a service of prayer should never be eliminated from the congregational calendar for any con- siderable period. If it be urged that the rabbi too, must have a season of va- cation, then a layman may conduct the service. Many are the hungry hearts that turn to the synagog for consolation and for 1 help. They should not approach the house of God to find its doors closed against them. By all means. let the doors of our' synagog be kept open throughout the entire year. The closed synagog is a reproach to the Jew and a dishonor to the fair' name of Judaism. "In Many Lands." Our Jewish literature has been newly enriched by a volume that has just appeared under the above title from the pen of Elma Ehrlich Levinger whose place among writers of Jewish stories for the past several years has been a signally honored one. Particularly appealing to our youth are her stories which I are always rich in imagination and stirring in description. Her latest book deals with the story of our holy days and festivals and tells in superlatively interesting story form how each of these festive and sacred days has been celebrated by Israel scat- tered to every corner of the earth. Around each one of the holy days and holidays in the Jewish calendar is woven a story. The scenes are laid in widely scattered lands. including Spain, Hol- land, Russia, Bohemia, Germany. France, Palestine, Poland and Austria. As a preface to the stories, three is an introductory chapter which briefly explains the significance of each of the holidays. The volume of a hundred and forty-three pages is an altogether unusual one. It is in no sense an exaggeration to say that no Jewish library, whether in the home or in connection with the religious school, will be complete until it has upon its shelves, a copy of Mrs. Levinger's book "In Many Lands." We suggest that the volume will be most suitable as a gift book for Jewish children. Dr. Fosdick Upheld. It is altogether to the credit of the First Presbyterian Church of New York that it has refused to accept the resignation tend- ered by its minister—Reverend Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick be- cause of the recent criticism of his pulpit utterances by the Phesbyterian Assembly at Intlianapoli+. It will be recalled that Dr. Fosdick who is one of the outstanding figures in the relig- ious world today, a man of liberal thought and who has the courage of his convictions, recently expressed himself as not believing in the literal story of the virgin birth and in other doctrines held by the Orthodox Christian believers. Dr. Fosdick is not of the type of some others who are ac- customed to make sensational statements for the purpose of winning a Place in the headlines of the front pages of the news- papers. lie Is a man of fine spiritual qualities, an ardent re- .4" ":.N e tus Q:oriter By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ The Ex-Kaiser Re-writes the Bible.

Toelpitostsi Tl ittr st ing ' Arab anti-Zionist propagandists in Palestine won a victory last week when the elections recently held there were declared null and void by a Brit- ish Government Order in Council, be- cause of the failure of the majority of the Arab population to make use of the ballot. A statement circulated by Reuter's, said to be inspired from offi- cial British circles, denies the cancel- lation of. the election to be an Arab victory, but there is no denying of the fact that this order of Great Britain will give the handful or'Arab agita- tors heart to carry on its war against the Jewish aspirations for a home- land. It is possible that illiteracy and indifference on the part of the Arab population had more to do with its failure to vote than the propaganda work of Arab agitators. But few as the latter may have been in number, they are today triumphant. They ur- ges' a b ycott of the election and have suceeded in having nullified. Arab-Jewish Relations. It is unfortunate that the Palestin- ian agitators should have been offered such encouragement by the British government at a time when relations between Jews and Arabs are becoming daily more friendly and the various elements in population of the Holy Land are cammencing to co-operate for the general welfare of the com- munity. Read what Jessie F. Samp- ter writes from Palestine concerning the genuine co-operation of the Arabs and Jews there: "Not only does the peasant know that the Jew is his brother, not only is there no rural racial question, but even in the towns common sense and common interest are becoming articulate. Despite the powerful agitation against us, a Palestine Club, frankly pro-Jewish, has been formed in Tiberias, with member- ship of all three religions; commer- cial organizations exist in other citites; such towns as Nazareth and Acco, where practically no Jews live, have sent delegations to the Zionists asking Jews to buy land and settle there. What though we suspect them of merceneary mo- tives? At least the Arab knows well that the Jew comes for love of his land and not to exploit it, and the self-interest which prompts his invitation will later become a com- mon interest. The Arab who really loves his land and not himself mere- ly, welcomes the Jew as its savior. And among the agitators against us, I know some who speak English perfectly, worship Western culture, and while they work in theory for an Arab Palestine, are longing for the moment when they can pack up and settle in England or America. Even some of our worst enemies privately offer to sell as their lands." UNDERSTANDING By JEAN JAFFE IThe Day.) Chance brought us together—Mar- garet and me. I met her at the Girls' Club. I was pleased with the club from the first. I dreaded, by this time, the opulence of hotels; I hated the drab- ness of furnished rooms; I detested the tepid hospitality of boarding houses. I liked the club. It was the nearest thing to home. Above all, it gave me Margaret. Margaret was my room-mate. When I was assigned to that room, the lady in charge introduced us as Margaret Kelly—Rebecca Klein. Re- becca Klein rather liked Margaret Kelly at first sight and rushed forth and grasped Margaret's hand. Mar- caret Kelly, however, tmik Rebecca's hand in the most placed manner. She made me unhappy the first few evenings. She was curt and cour- teous. She pointed out to me a few of the rules and regulations of the club. She finally stipulated that she is usually in bed very early and would I please not disturb. She paints and must rise early to get the light. I felt unhappy. There were Si, many things that I wanted to ask her. I liked her and wanted to tell her of my latest manuscript, which was accepted for publication. I liked her and wished to ask her whether I should put black velvet ribbon on my tan dress . I liked her and wished to relate to her the story of the play which I saw the previous evening. I liked her and would just speak for the sake of speaking to her. Very soon are resented her abrupt "Good-night" and her distinct, pert "Are you ready for the window to be opened." I must confess that a certain strange feeling coupe to me now. I was sorry that my room-mate was not a Jewess. I attributed her tacit and heartless manner to the fact that she was Gentile. All this in the beginning! But as the days passed, and we would see each other rise in the morning and would know by the weather and temperature the dress each one would put tin, add in the evening we somehow• always told one another our plans. We became more attached. I am quite certain that it is merely this propinquity that brought about the attachment. Mar- garet did not like me and I made be- lieve I hated her because I thought that her hatred for me was engen- dered by anti-Semitism. In spite of our bitter feelings, we came to need each other. We ad- mitted once that it was quite impos- sible for either of us to fall asleep until the other was in. We became indispensible to one another in time of dressmaking. We were both of the same size and each could serve as a model for the other. And some- times, on rainy evenings, when our room, in spite of its congenial and artistic atmosphere, became ghostly It is becoming daily more evident that an amiable understanding be- tween these two elements in the Pal• estine population is possible, provided that the work of evil propagandists s discouraged and the British policy is carried out in strict accordance York papers reported there was a of many of the council's friends an with the mandate granted Great Brit- ain by the League of Nations for the "split" in the Palestine Development 'exasperating defection. establishment in Palestine of a net- Council; that the split was on account lonely and the heavy raindrops on of Britain.

She held it at arm's length in front of her and examined it from many angles. I noticed her eyes widen. I saw she was pleased. All she said to me was "thank you." I couldn't help but embrace her and say: "Margaret, read, you will be great some day." Thus the winter passed. That summer, the Journal of Art, offered three I100 prizes: one for a musical composition for a nursery rhyme; another for a painting, and the third for a short story. . The contestants had to be below 30 years of age and the contributions of a nature which may be used in the fu- ture numbers of the Journal of Arts. Margaret took the challenge very deliberately. She said nothing; she merely jotted down in her memoran- dum the rules of the contest. . I jumped up and called out: "Mar- garet, there's a chance for you ant me. How wonderful!" W e would go out to the country to. gether to work, when we had a "day off" from our respective offices. We would settle on some clean spot and work. We had sandwiches and fruit for lunches. Often I would drop my pencil, rush to her and talk; just talk. She resented it. Then she would relent and tell me to continue on condition that " I cut it short." Once she listened more attentively than even She snatched her brush and said very hilariously: "Please, go on talking. I must put down that expression." Of course, I couldn't continue . Creative work always halts me, from speaking. I became almost stolid in my expression. "Are you angry?" she asked. "I didn't mean to interrupt your story except that I liked the glow in your eyes and I didn't want to lose it. It seems that I had never noticed it be- fore.. I never saw you before, it seems. Or is it because I never want. ed to see you? I love the way you speak. I love your loud and sonorous voice. I love your eyes." I was silent. I seemed to find the solution to the problems. Only un- derstanding can breed love. Only love can bring good-will. This is the solution! Understanding! I thougikt and thought. . It was quite clear to me. Only through understanding will come redemption to the Jew and Gentile. We agreed to "work the contest" independently, not to intrude upon one another; not to pry into each other's task. We keep it up admir- ably. We agreed not to show our work to each other until the results were made public. On Tuesday, two days before the close of the contest, we submitted our work. We then went down to a Jewish restaurant in the ghetto, to eat "knishes" and then to the movies. On the following Monday the news- papers carried the following an- nouncements: "The Summer Contest of the Jour- nal of Arts takes great pleasure in announcing the names of the win- ners of the three prizes of $100 each. They are: "Music—Mr. Carl Holzman, for his composition, 'A Negro Lullaby.' "Art—Miss Margaret Kelly for her painting, 'A Jewess.' (Turn to last page.)
