Her happiness must find support too in her record of achievement, and in the well-deserved recogni- tion that her achievements have brought. That recognition has freighted her name with honors. Her full title when she cares to use it is the Honorable Lily H. Montagu, J. P., 0. B. E., D. H. 1..—the-0. B. E. being the Order of the British Empire, presented to her by her king just last year.

Lily Vontagu'e zeal has found expression in what has come to be known as Liberal Judaism. Put it had Its foundation In a home- life that centered about the piety of her distinguished Orthodox fa- ther, Samuel Montagu, the first Baroe Swaythling. Miss Monta- gu's home-life filled her with the deepest respect for her father's Orthodoxy, but as the result of considered and deep conviction, she found it necessary to give ex- pression to a changed religious outlook. Her differences with her father constitute a little-under- stood but much-talked-of episode in her life. -1 ■ my borne, I saw Orthodoxy at activities. organizing secre- tary for the As Jewish Religious Un- ion, she has joined battle, almost single-handed, with the problem of reaching the unsynagogued. She has done this through her "Home Worship" scheme. Each month she draws up two sets of letters (one for families where the chil- dren are from 7-12 year of age and one for those where the chil- dren are older) which provide a guide to Jewish worship for the month, complete with Bible read- ings, original prayers, and dis- cussions of religious subjects. These are sent to those religious- minded Jews who for one reason or another do not attend services. lily Montagu has undertaken to make every effort to see to it that their children do not become es- tranged from Judaism. Nor have we yet taken account of, her activities as organizer, lay preacher for the Jewish Religious Union and as an author. In the first capacity she had produced a prodigious number of fine sermons and pamphlets. On her American tour, she impressed her audiences with her effectiveness in the pul- pit. A great part of the litera- ture of the Jewish Religious Un- ion has been created by her pen. Also among her writings is a full- length novel, "Naomi's Exodus," and a collection of short stories, "What Can A Mother Do?" poig.
