HADASSAH CABARET HIDDEN MOTIVES CHARGED AGAINST THIS SATURDAY NIGHT GRAND LODGE OF B'NAI B'RITH ORDER IN SUSPENSION OF DETROIT CHAPTER Saturday night, each old and (Continued from Page One.) its functions. Secondly, to prove the hasty, unwarranted, unchari- table, irregular action and unbusi- ness-like, unprecedented attitude of the District Grand Lodge com- mittee which is responsible for the charter revocation. To properly visualize and to make understandable the situa- tion, it is necessary to explain the method of taxation which is as inequitable as it is ridiculous. "The lodge secretary reports the number of membership upon the books to the District Grand Lodge. The secretary of the su- perior body then proceeds to levy an assessment upon the reported number of members, at the rate of $7.10 per year each, in quarterly installments, without regard to the actual amount collected by the local lodge from membership dues. "Under the by-laws, every lodge is required to carry a 'member for six months before he becomes sub- ject to suspension. Under this rule, no lodge can escape payment for a large number of members who are delinquent in their dues for at least six months. Loral lodges, therefore, are compelled to carry a crushing financial bur- den. Pisgah was no exception to this inflexible rule. "The administrative forces as- suming the reins on Jan. 1, 1926, discovered that Pisgah Lodge was :harmed by the District Grand Lodge with a $6,089.03 delin- quency. Why the District Grand Lodge slowed so large a sum to accumulate without challenge or action, only they can explain. Suf- fice it to say here, that during the year of 1926, this lodge not only promptly met the assessment of $5,750 for that year, but in addi- tion thereto applied $600 upon the old debt above referred to. "Pisgah delegates at the Dia- trict Grand Lodge convention, held at Milwaukee on July 4, 1926, appeared before the general com- mittee of the District Grand Lodge to effect a settlement and adjudication of this crushing load upon active workers and were in no wise responsible for the stag- gering sum involved. The gen- eral committee then referred the entire matter to a special commit- tee which dealt with Pisgah's proper representatives. This com- mittee decided that if Pisgah Lodge W01.11,1 submit a list of de- linquent members for the year 1924 and 1925 who have paid no dues, that the general committee, if the facts warranted it, would make suitable recommendation to finally bottle the whole matter. The total sum owed by these de- linquents to Pisgah by far exceed- ed the $5,5 no in question. Bare the matter ended temporarily. "The next convention of the District Grand Lodge was held. in the City of Detroit, where this old claim again was taken up with the general committee, with the who result that those delegates • were active in the matter were assured, by way of a gentlemen's agreement, that if they would cease pressing adjustment of the claim, the general committee was willing to forget it, because the laws of the District provided no safe method of otherwise charging it off of the books. "Beginning Jan. 9, 1928, the new administration inherited the Grand Lodge debt of $1,466.15; in addition thereto, the lodge was as- sessed $1,466.15 for the first quar- ter of 1928, and $1,118.25 for the second quarter of the same year. These ascessments were not met because of the distressing business conditions which befell our mem- bers, who postponed the payment , of dues to a happier day, in spite of the diligent efforts of the ad- ministration to collect dues and to maintain lodge functions. "On April 30, the president and secretary of the District Grand Lodge arrived in Detroit and sat in conference with local lodge offi- cers regarding these assessments past. due. As a result of the con- ference, an agreement was drawn by Secretary Frankel. agreed 'to and signed by both parties, which provided as follows: " 'That $1,466.15 be paid, and was paid immediately, a like amount to be paid on June 22, and the assessment for the second quarter of 1928 or $1,118.25 is to be' paid in monthly installments of $100 each, commencing August, 1928: "In compliance with this agree- ment, Pisgah Lodge paid $200 on $4 AMCA ORPHAN HOME MEETING ON DEC. 2.

Mountain Valley Water comes from Hut Springs, Arkansas. It is a natural mineral water of ex- traordinary parity and palatabil- ity. In fact, its palatability makes such a strong appeal to families dissatisfied with chemically treated city water that it is also used as a table water. But of course the beneficial properties of Mountain Valley Water take it out of the class of table waters and makes it America's most sought after natural health water.

I shall pass over the , rest of the fascinating tale and tell you only that a few years after this accidental visit at the syna- gogue, he applied to the most dis- tinguished rabbis of Europe for admission into the fold of Juda- ism. Ile wrote or presented him- self to the rabbis of France, in Germany and in Italy. And here is what must be for the average person the most astonishing fea- ture of his whole story. Despite his evident sincerity, despite his readiness to sacrifice everything for the sake of Judaism, all of these rabbis, acting independently, were unanimous in • dissuading him. The tone of all their replies was this: Even if you are fully con- vinced of the principles of Juda- ism, you can serve them better as a liberal Catholic than you can as a Jewish proselyte. Men like you are needed not as converts from one religion into another, but as unifying harmonizing elements be- tween the great religions of the world.

Nue., Columbia University After a season In Europe has resumed teaching at his RESIDENCE STUDIO 2243 Lathrop Avenue special circumstance. If this young Catholic had merely beconoe convinced of the truth of the Jew- ish God—conception, he would probably have listened to the rata bin and remained a Catholic. For a Catholic can believe in the abso- lute unity of God and give sonic special interpretation to the doe- 1 trine of the Trinity nnd other dogmas embarrassing to monothe- ism. What happened to Palliere was that he fell in love with the Hebrew language, and his love of Hebrew drove him irresistibly to a self identification with the He- brew people. Language has a way of exercising this magic influence upon men. They who love Ilebrow love it passionately. There were many dark moments in the history of the Jew in Europe when the Jew needed a friend among the Christians. Invariably he found such a friend among the Chris- tians who knew Hebrew. Loving the Hebrew tongue, such Chris- tian scholars could not but be friendly to the people whose soul it expressed. If Poilliere a proselyte today, it is because' of the sheer drive of his own will- power and not because the rabbis did not live up to the Jewish prin- ciple of discouraging the convert. American Reform rabbis would have acted in the same way. There is only one point at which we dif- fer from the Talmudic standard. The Talmudic rabbis held a par- ticularly negative attitude toward conversions in which the fader or marriage is involved. But we of today feel otherwise. When a mixed marriage appears inevitable, we act on the principle that con- version is necessary for the sake of family unity, and we act in the faith that a conversion enters I into not for its own sake, but for that special purpose will in time be transformed into a conversion for its own sake. As the rabbis expressed themselves of students who studied for other motives than love of study, "Mi shelo lishma Is lishma" ("from an ulterior pur- pose they will evolve into the genuine purpose").

GOODMAN with their own religious group have a higher duty tee stay and work for liberalization within their own group than to uproot themselves and go into another. Is one religion, Own, as good as another? No, for me Judaism to the best. It is the best even though I see a thousand faults in it and its fol- lowers, and even though I see a thousand ways in which I can learn from other religions. Is Judaism, then, better than Christianity? For me, yes. But not for the Chris- tian. For him Christianity is best even though he may sec a thou- sand faults with it and its follow- ers, and even though he may see a thousand ways in which he can learn from other religions. Any liberality toward other religions which is not accompanied by a special love for one's own is not liberality but indifference. - Professor Foakes-Jackson ante Said tee his class: "The reason that there are no more religious wars is that nobody nowadays cares enough about religion to fight about it." There is much truth in this bit of humor. ,Our pose of broadmindedness may be sheer in- difference. This is why I take no tolerant expression on religion seriously unless it comes from a devout man. In this small world where rep- resentatives of various religions which were once for removed one from another must constantly come into contact with each other, in it modern world where strong forces are operating to destroy religion altogether, the strategy of the great religious bodies must be not to seek conquests at the ex- pense of one another, but, first, to hold their own; second, tee unite as distinct personalities into a joint campaign to strengthen the cause of religion as a whole, as Christianity and Judaism seem to be doing in America through the agency of the Good Will Commis- sion. To hold our own, then, thispol- icy which our rabbis adopted ninny centuries ago has proven its wis- dom. It is soon to become the univenaoll religious policy., But what if areligious group is unable to hold its own? What if it ne- glects the education of its chil- dren?

The assessment for the third quarter of 1928 amounted to $871.53, and the following payments were made to apply against this item: Oct. 15, $400; Oct. 26, $271.53; leaving only a balance of $200 unpaid on the third quarterly assessment.

The administra- tive forces of this lodge consider this a subterfuge, an evasion and an ill-affected mask to conceal motives which they have not the grace or sportsmanship to publicly communicate. Not only wax this lodge hastily suspended, but the method employed was irregular, unprecedented and indefensible on the I that Pisgah Lo d ge was never notified that suspension of this lodge would become a sub- ject matter of the general commit- tee meeting to be held on Oct. 13. This deprived I'isgah and its ofli- cers of the opportunity of appear- ing in behalf of our lodge. We were charged, convicted and sen- tenced without a hearing and with no chance of defense; a procedure more unappetizing than the sus- pension itself, and incompatible with the cardinal principles of the order, 'Benevolence, Brotherly Love and Harmony.' "Severe disciplinary measures may be invoked only to safeguard an organization. The general com- mittee has deprived itself of this defense by the high-handed, czar's- tic method of procedure, which we strenuously resent. The active men and women of Pisgah Lodge feel at least deserving of notice of contemplated summary action for years of sacrifice and loyal devo- ting. For this reason, and others too numerous to mention here, the administrative forces recommend that Pisgah Lodge accept the sus- pension and refuse to consider re- instatement at this time." 1 LIPSKY TO BE GUEST HERE DEC. 5 AND 6 FIVE IFFEI R CON st CH ENE V.
