A GREAT BOOK
I class Souvestre's
phe Sous Les Toits, An Attic Phil-
osopher, among the best books I
have read. It is justly "a French
classic." Its judgment of life from
an idealistic standpoint is so fine
that one would be justified in
studying French to be able to read
it in the original. And yet a
thoughtful perusal of it in English
will be abundantly repaid. It is not
a recent publication or a fast seller.
It is the kind of book that appears
only once in a long while. It is a
product of philosophy and art. It
is, therefore, more valuable than
scores of publications put together
that appeared before and after it.
Do you want a book that will in-
struct and inspire you to live more
beautifully and happily, read Sou-
vestry's Attic Philosopher. If it
does not profit as well as please
you, you are unconsciously needful
of pity. It is a great book. --Rev.
Dr. Alexander Lyons.
The sun once stood still; the
wheel of fortune never.
Virtue is more persecuted by
the wicked than loved by the good.

burnt down and destroyed and
those which have been restored.
There are the famous courts of
Flusiatin and Czortkov. They are
burnt down, demolished, overgrown
with grass. In the park of the
I Czortkov palace the trees were
felled during the war, and now it
is rented as a sport ground to a
Polish football club. The Hassidim
and even the ordinary residents of
Czortkov have repeatedly asked the
rabbi to return to Czortkov. But
the rabbi always declines. He feels,
and rightly, that it would be a Ink-
take. In exile, he is a king in exile,
with all the old pride and glory
upon hint. But if he returns to
Czortkov and restores a little bit of
his palace, puts in a few doors and
windows, repairs some of the
rooms, he will be the rabbi if a
ruin, a partly-restored ruin, and
the spirit of ruins and a tumble- I
down palace will lie heavily upon
him. A ruin can be beautiful, can
be impressive, can radiate influ-
ence, if it is imposing and majestic,
but if it is patched up and reno-
vated here and there, with gaps
and broken - down, tumble • down
places, it becomes like a patched
garment, the outward sign of
something poverty-stricken spiritu-
ally and materially and it illl-
premes as do the rags of a beggar.
And the rabbis of Czortkov and
Ifusiatyn realize that. The whole
of the rabbinical area—Czortkov,
Ilusiatyn, Kopyczynce, Mielnice-
is an area of empty, ruined palaces,
like the palaces of the squires
around them.
"Like Christians, like Jews."
In the district of Belz alone
things are somewhat different.
There an attempt has been made
to restore the old courts. Under
the influence of western Galicia,
where the war did not penetrate
with its ruins, efforts have been
made to set up again the old forms
of life. The leader of this rabbille
cal renaissance was the late rabbi
of Belz. For him it was an easy
matter. The court at Belz was
never organized on those grand
squirarchal lines on which the
Czortkov palace, for example, was
built up. It had no parks, no high
hedges. It was a big building with
a lot of rooms, anti that it was not
a diflicult matter to restore. The
house looked a httle smudged ar.I
