This means as much to the rest of us as it means to the Jews. Because, first, if one minority group can be thus haunted, hunted and proclaimed for exter- mination by an arrogant and reckless majority, so can any other minority group, and at once vanishes all pretense to a juridical system of security in this world, and mankind goes back to chaos. And second, because what is really attacked ill the Jews is their exercise of the right of con- science, and the right of conscience is fundamental to all other human rights. It will be exceedingly well for all of us that believe in those rights to look squarely at the menacing proportions of this issue. The offense of the Jew is that in accord- ance with his conscience and his convictions, he worships God in a synagogue. If he has no right so to worship, what right have I or Father Cough- lin or any other Christian to worship God in a church? And if we have no such right, then the Fifteenth Century has come again and all that has been gained for human freedom by all these generations of heroes and martyrs has been lost. Now, from the plain terms of these propositions there is no logical escape. I say, therefore, to my Christian friends that they are in relatively greater peril than the Jews and that I cannot understand their apparent indifference to the disaster that is surely ahead of them if this madness continues. And if the apparent lack of resentment against this menace results from lack of acquaintance with it, then let me say to my Jewish friends that they have it in their power to render to civilization and to the cause of human freedom a notable service. This is no time for stoical sufferance, it is no time for the shrugged' shoulder and the closed lip. You have an impeccable cause, you have been shamefully tricked and cheated about Pales- tine, you are being insulted daily with fresh trick- ster schemes to shil).4 4the ends of the earth the Jewish victims of 'ngle: lenaia,sance. ,Put your cause and casoliefOre the American people. ' No real American can have the slightest sympathy with this vast rearward drive. Have confidence in the sense of justice and of fair play that is part of the American spirit.

CYRUS ADLER President, Jewish Theological Seminary of America An Old Friend Says, HAPPY NEW YEAR We greet you warmly on this, your Holiday! We genuinely appreciate the patronage and good will with which you have favored us through nearly three decades now – and we'll sincerely strive to be more-than-ever deserving of it through the coming year! These sacred days, always no solemn, are clothed with a spe- cial dignity and significance in these troubled times. The past years have witnessed a wide- spread renew/al of the conviction that man's ultimate hope must be his faith in God. The fruits of skepticism and materialism have proven destructive, not only of the !human spirit, but also of everything valuable in our civil- ization. Whole countries have been turned over to atheism and neo-paganism; and with the rise of these anti-religious movements, have come the suppression of human freedom, the sacrifice of human dignity, and the frustra- tion of human thought and ar- tistic creativity. The Jewish people, doubtless In part because we have been so singularly and distinctively de- voted to the ideals of peace and human freedom, have been made to suffer more than any other. As we assemble for prayer to God for continued life during the next year, our hearts inevit- ably turn to the thousands whose lot has been so embittered that many of them have preferred death to life. We have, as a community, made heroic sacri- fices to alleviate their sufferings, sacrifices commensurate with our more fortunate situation, and vet inadequate to meet the pressing needs of saving the remnant which can be saved, and helping as many as possible to adjust themselves to a new life. Their hope and our hope must in the end, be not in man, but in God. Human wisdom has faltered and proven unavailing. "Let us search and try our ways, and return unto the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our I hands, unto God in !leaven." The New Year Again we take pleasure in The greatest measure of joy and happiness throughout the NEW YEAR It has been a pleasant year in which we have continued contact with our old friends and , made many new ones; in which we have tried sincerely to be worthy of being known as your favorite store.
