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.

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 sooty, but Betz never put its faith in grandeur and pomp and ti,- court at Hein was never bemuse of its fine exterior. never prided itself on its riche-. and as the old rabbi of Belz was a man of great influence, he s to.- ceeded for a short time in regath• ering to Belz his old Hassidim, patching up the cracks in his pal- ace and making things 5(5•M as if they were again as they had been But since his death, Bel: has again been going downhill.
