LOUIS GOLDING
day, Jan. 13, at 3 p. m., at North-
Sch ool.
Mr. Golding was born in Man-
chester, England, in 1895. Early
in life he began writing. At the
age of 9 he started a novel. While
at Oxford University he was one
of the editors of the "Oxford Book
of Verse" and conducted the
Queen's College Miscellany. While
still at college he published a vol.
! ume of verse, "Sorrows of War,"
land a novel, "Forward From Baby-
lon." Since then Louis Golding
has succeeded in applying his bril-
liant gift to poetry, essay and
novel. Ile has written, in addition
to the books mentioned, "The Day
of Atonement," a novel steeped in
the traditions of the Jewish peo-
ple.
Mr. Golding has traveled ex-
tensively. The greater part of
each year he spends traveling in
far places, the scenes of which
produce the background for his
books. For example, he wrote the
"Seacoast of Bohemia" in Capri.
A tour from the Alps to Messina
resulted in "Sunward." An ex-
ploration of remote villages and
remote islands produced "Sicilian
Noon." After a long sojourn in
Tunis and Bjerba (Homer's island
of the Lotus-Eaters) he wrote
Store of Ladies." The awe-inspir-
ing mountains and waters of Tyrol
form the background of "The
Miracle Boy." He has also trav-
eled extensively in Palestine.
Mr. Golding's latest book is
"Ancient Lands," which was pub-
lished last fall. A new novel to be
published this spring will be en-
titled "The Prince of Somebody."'
He has been hailed by Israel Zang-
will as "the greatest poet our race
has yet produced.
Mr. Golding will speak on the
subject "A Jewish Wanderer in I

on a visit to Warsaw with his

Take Stand Similar to
Jewish Groups.
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(J. T. A.)
—The Seventh Day Baptists take
a stand similar to that of the Jew-
ish religious bodies in the United
States in opposition to the proposed
calendar reform, which would re-
sult in making the Sabbath migra-
tory.
The mid-year meeting of the
Commission of the Seventh Day
Baptist Denomination, at the Fort
l'itt Hotel, representing 8.000 mem-
bers reaflirnied the resolutions
passed at the general conference
of the Seventh Day Baptists held
in California last July, expressing
to the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America "our
most earnest opposition to the
adoption of the proposed calendar,
based upon the following reasons:
(1). In all previous calendar re-
visions the week has not been dis-
turlast. in this weekly cycle the
Sabbath has always held its right-
ful place. The proposed simplified
calendar with its "year day" and
its "leap day" destroys the present
sequence of the days of the week.
(2). It makes it impossible for
Sabbath keepers to he true to their
convictions and at the same time
carry on their normal educational,
professional, business and indus-
trial activities, since under the pro.
posed calendar the Sabbath will
fall upon different days of the
week. (3). The proposed calen-
dar, forcibly trampling upon the
rights and consciences of others is,
in fact, religious legislation which
would inevitably lead to persecu-
tion. As an illustration, consider
the application of our compulsory
school laws.
proposed
calendar,
(1). The
seeking to stabilize our holidays,
destroys those sentiments that clus-
ter shout definite days, such as our
national holidays, birthdays. etc.
(5). We feel that the Sabbath, re-
ligious convictions and sentiment
should not be held subservient to
industrial needs.
The Rev. Willard D. Burdick of
Plainfield, N. J., general secretary
was authorized to represent the
Seventh Day Baptists at a hearing
on the calendar reform to be held
in Washington. If there is a see-
end hearing. Rev. A. J. C. Bond of
Plainfield, N. J. denominational
leader in Sabbath promotion, will
also attend.

NEW YORK.—The present ad-
ministration in Rumania was en-
dorsed by the United Rumanian
Jews of America in a menage sent
Sunday to the Prime Minister, Dr.
Julius Mania, from the annual
convention of the organization,
held at the Pythian Temple, 135
West Seventieth street.
The message to Dr. Manlu was
as follows: "The United Rumanian
Jews of America, in convention as-
sembled, wish you a long and suc-
cessful administration. We have
good reason to feel that all Ru-
manians, irrespective of race, creed
or religion, will have their inalien-
able constitutional rights fully pro-
tected under your administration
and that law and order will always
prevail throughout the land."
hospital. The mother had to go
on a brief visit to Irkutsk before
embarking on the long journey and
when she was ready to return to
Tomsk, the city had been occupied
by the Red Army and she could not
enter. The mother in despair fin-
ally decided to leave for Argentine
, herself.
But the mother, as well as the
father, refused to give up their
child and so they turned to the He-
brew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society. The Harbin office of
flies was asked that the child be
traced. Nine long years were spent
in ascertaining the whereabouts of
little Elijah. At last, Hies discov-
ered that a Jewish couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin Imatanopsky, bad
adopted the boy and had left for
Novo-Siberia. The couple were
traced, the child's parents compen-
sated the Imatanopskys for rear-
ing the child and sent the nem-
sary transportation expenses and
documents so that the child is now
ready to leave for Argentine.
The names and addresses of
5,850 children who were orphaned
through pogroms and war, have
now been made available, Abraham

Sheltering and Immigrant Aid So-
ciety (Hiss), 425 Lafayette street,
