Good Will Makes Progress.

A somewhat novel step in the
direction of fostering a better un-j
derstanding of Jews on the part
of Christian children was taken,
during July, 1930, by the Ramsey
County Sunday School Association
in St. Paul, which conducted, in 12
church vacation schools, courses
beginning witha study of ancient
Hebrew life as depicted in the Old
Testament, running through pres-
ent-day conditions, andsconcluding
with studies of the lives of out-
standing Jewish scientists, philan-
thropists, philosophers and rabbis'
of today. The children were also
taken to a synagogue, where Jew-
ish worship was described and
Jewish symbolism and ceremonial
explained. Other efforts to pro-
mote good will between Jews and
Christians included study circles
and seminars, and steps on the
part of school, college and univer-
sity authorities to prevent embar-
rassment to Jewish pupils and stu-
dents desiring to observe Jewish
holidays.
Similar success did not attend ef-
forts to bring about a change in
the date of the opening of the
1931 convention of the American
Legion at Detroit, which was
scheduled for Sept. 21, Yom Kip-
pur. At its meeting at Indianap-
olis, in May, the executive com-
mittee expressed regret at its in-
ability to change the date because
of the extensive preparations
which had been made, but it de-
cided that, out of respect to Jewish
legionnaires, the convention would
meet only in the forenoon of the
opening day.
Another example of good-will
was the formation in a number of
cities of "Pro-Palestine Good Will
Committees" to promote a better
understanding of Zionism among
non-Jews and to enlist their aid,
for the rehabilitating of Palestine.
The formation of the first of such
committees was announced in Jan-
uary in Chicago, at a dinner given
by the Zionists of that city in
honor of Judge Julian W. Mack,
and similar committees were
formed in St. Louis, Milwaukee,
Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, New York, Balti-
more, Bose on, and Washington,'

Passion Play Issue Revived.

The production of the Passion
Play by a road company which
toured the country during the ear l
did much to counteract the good
will efforts of past years. In some I
cities Jewish representatives suc-
ceeded in having the play banned,
by appeals to Christian leaders.
This was the case in Savannah,
Ga., in September; in Washington,
however, although Rabbi Abram'
Simon succeeded in persuading the
Bible Class Association to with-
draw its sponsorship, the play was
nevertheless produced. In Rock-
ester, N. Y., where a motion pic-
ture version of the play was
shown, the protest of Jewish rabbis
and laymen was endorsed by Chris-
tian clergymen, and the Commit.
tee on international Friendship of
the Federation of Churches issued
a statement agreeing with the .
Jewish position that "any such
presentation which attaches blame
to the Jews of today for a crime
committed centuries ago is most
reprehensible." A similar atti-
I tude was adopted, in May by a
pastor whose churches cancelled
