efforts to combat racial rancor,
have never been more vividly por-

Joseph Fort Newton, rector of
the Memorial Church of St. Paul,
Overbrook, Pa., in writing in The

tives of the church. Both Gentile's
and Jews have preached and writ-
ten about this book.
"If this Jewish story, written
by a Jewish artist, distinguished
alike for its style and its pene-
trating insight, could be read by
Gentiles, it would do much to heal
America of racial bigotry and pro-
mote an intelligent and sympa-
thetic understanding of our Jewish
neighbors," he says.
"As an argument against mixed
marriages the story is tremendous.
Two people, no matter how dearly
they love each other, who come to
their meeting from two such dif-
ferent backgrounds, and from an-
tecedents so alien, find an implac-
able barrier between them, all the
more impossible to break through
because it is inevitable. At last the
inevitable happens and they are
pulled apart by forces which they
can neither define nor resist.
"Behind every page of this me-
morable sense of the long back-
ground of an ancient race, its rich
culture, its old and holy customs,
its memorial sorrows, all the more
vivid by contrast with the new
world.
