non-Palestinians, as well as Zionists and Palestinians. It seems that the
great Hebrew poet, Malik, when he was here in America, was able to take
his mind oft the subject of poetry long enough to observe that the Jews in
America were very well off indeed; that there seemed to be plenty of
work here fur everybody that wanted to work, and so forth and so on.
Now in Palestine things, economicaly speaking, haven't been so flourish-
ing. Following the fashion of Europe, there is considerable unemployment
in Palestine, so here is what happened, according to the nurse in Tel Aviv:
A couple of weeks ago Mr. Bialik, a writer and a speaker (such
is fume!—C. II. J.), who recently visited America, had a lecture
here for the working people, telling them about the wonders of
America, how nice the working people have it there, and mainly
that everybody has work there and is able to save. I'm telling you
that it made their mouths water to get a visa to America. In my
estimation it was the wrong thing to do to tell the hungry people
about the better place, when they are not able to go. America be-
came a dream of the Palestinians, and the American citizens here
are considered far the moat fortunate people.
Well, our Zionist friend, I3ialik, is certainly not very much of a success

I never grow' weary of acquainting the Jews of America with the real
David Lubin, because to me it is so pathetically tragic that his own people
knew him so little and so little appreciated the great humanitarian work
he was doing. So the Christians of the earth are extolling his contribution
to humanity and venerating his memory. I am not sure, but I think it is
to Rabbi Abram Simon of Washington, D. C., to whom I am indebted for
the reprint of the article appearing in the Illinois Agriculturist, written
by Dr. Charles L. Stewart, in charge of agricultural economics at the Uni-
versity of Illinois. The article is headed "David Lubin—Prophet of Equal-
ity." I wish I could print it in its entirety, but that is impossible, so a
paragraph or two will have to suffice. Says Dr. Stewart:
at
When Lubin died, as the bells were ringing in the New Year of
1910, he was once more back in Europe, which gave him birth,
June 1, 1849. From the Russian Polish Klodowa, where he was
born, to the Eternal City, where Roman friends followed him to
his last resting place, Lubin had traveled for in body and in mind.
Believed by his mother to be marked to be a mighty man in Israel,
like the king for which he was named, Lubin found a life of intensive
service made sweeter by every approach to the universal point of
view. His great place in the life of the modern Jew can be ex-
plained in terms of his complete devotion to the ideals of the
prophets, not excluding Jews.

put Lubin, dead, upon a strangely well fortified highland in my think-
ing. It is the tilt of the sail, his great white wing of idealism for
agriculture and the common life which wins out for Lubin. . . .
Technical Lubinism must undergo the changes necessary to fit it to
the developments in economic science. Spiritual Lubinism will re-
main not only as a heritage to agriculture but to all our economic
