Us to Understand his action in "embracing the
faith of his forefather..." For his father, the
first Lord Melchett, was born a Jew, ceased
to be a practicing Jew to the extent of elbow-
ing sonic of his children to be baptised as
Christians and then, towards the close of a life
rich in practical achievement but spiritually,
it seems, rather unhappy, moved back towards
his own folk and found the greatest satisfaction
of the closing years of his life in working for
and among the conimminunity from wInom he
had for so lung allowed himself to drift apart.
Nor is there anything unprecedented in a
man's changing his religious beliefs, even
changing them more than once. In England
there is the contemporary instance of the e m-
inent and universally esteemed Dr. W. E. Or-
chard, who served in the Presbyterian ministry
for 10 years, then took Holy Orders in the
English Church and finally found spiritual rest
in the Church of Rome. In his case, his relig-
ious travels have been all within one territory
and they have followed a read that many
others, too, have trod in the same direction
and to the same destination. Les, eminent and
less esteemed is another contemporary who
has moved his spiritual home more than once
and gone much farther afield. Treloitsch Lin-
coln was born in l'aks on the Danube and was
trained to be a rabbi. At the age if 20 he
visited London and there took the step—un-
usual in a candidate for the rabbinate—of
joining the Anglican Church. Not many years
later, in Germany, he became a Lutheran, and.
as such, he went its a missionary to the Jews
in Canada. A few years later he was back in
in England and in the English Church; he was,
in fact, rector of Appledoort. in Kent. For
period of some years his religious beliefs seem
to have been stable. But they were not per-
manent, since it is only a few year, since he
turned up again, this time in China, as a Budd-
hist monk!
The Day of Atonement.
The dominant Yom Kippur note is the
plea for forgiveness of mankind's sins by
the Almighty. It is not Israel alone who
is being forgiven, but all humanity.
It is this universal note that marks Yom
Kippur as the all-important day on the
religious calendar. Because of its univer-
sality, it is a challenge to the brutalities
and horrors which mark the status of a
number of nations today, particularly Ger-
, many.
When the complete chapter of current
brutal history is written, Yom Kippur will
once more emerge as the great day which
serves as a symbol of the Jew's spiritual
superiority to the backward peoples of the
earth. Because in spite of all suffering,
Israel will refuse to barter away the uni-
versal spirit of this important day. It is
not only for ourselves, but for all mankind
that we plead on this (lay. And we do it
in the hope that with forgiveness for sins
will also come repentance for the cruelties
which peoples who have reverted to medi-
evalism are heaping upon our people Israel.

ular education and to obtain
the practical understanding of
the facts of Jewish life which
resulted in his becoming presi-

HARDEST-WORKED MAN
Today, as for more than a
quarter of a century, I/r. Adler
is one of the most versatile fig-
ures which American Jews have
produced. Without question,
he is the hardest-worked man
in the American Jewish com-
munity and most frequently
calk,' up to assume responsi-
bility of the gravest impart.
And crowning his readiness and
capacity for service, whether in
the sphere of religious or com-
munal organization or Jewish
learning, or in the delicate work
of negotiating with governments
the world over in behalf of dis-
criminated or (oppressed fellow-
Jews, is a lovable personality in
which, evenely blended, the
chief characteristics are charm,
a most disarming wit and an
incurable disposition to cultivate
friendships.
Cyrus Adler spent his youth
and early manhood in Philadel-
phia where he numbered among
his associates the scions of dis-
tinguished early American Jew-
ish families notable for Jewish
and secular culture and actively
interested in Jewish communal
and religious affairs. 111111 hardly

' President Green of the A mei e_
can Federation of Labor, suggests
the advisability of a boycott of
German products by American
labor. Mr. Green does not predi-
cate the boycott because of the
Jewish question, but because of
the ruthless and intolerant atti-
tude of Hitler toward unionism in
Germany. Labor leaders have
been exiled and interned and their
activities suppressed. It may be
that the Jews will not be alone
in this boycott lousiness. Ameri-
cans, non-Jews, arc fearful of vis-
