Emma Lazaroff Schaver Recital at
Scottish Rite Cathedral on Nov. 6
Dear Lord: my oaths, accepted
as my gold,
Reach out to many men beyond
my ken
And act for me as services I sold;
I pray no thoughts of mine will
be a fen
For those who seek for light and
gain and health,
Or cause someone to others hurt
by stealth.
Forgive my promises as yet
unmade,
Which actuate my fellow men to
deeds
They might not make but for my
words unweighed,
Or set in motion by my worldly
greeds.

ON ADVENT OF NEW YEAR
BUTTE, Montana—The follow-
ing message was issued Wednes-
day, Sept. 25, to citizens of
Jewish birth in the United States
of America by Wendell L. Willkie,
Republican presidential candi-
date:
"I am happy to send my greet-
ings to the Jewish people of
America on the occasion of their
celebration of the Hebrew New
Year 5701. I am deeply impres-
sed by an occasion, Nv hich com-
memorates more than 57 cen-
turies of recorded experience,
reaching back to the roots of
civilization.
Greetings
To our many friends
and customers on these
"I know what Rosh Hashonah
means to the people of your
faith. I know that on that day
in every land, the Jewish people
gather in their synagogues, pray-
ing for peace and for the ulti-
mate victory of right and jus-
tice. I ask the privilege of join-
ing in your prayers and of pledg-
ing to you today, that insofar
as it is within my capacity to
keep so sacred a pledge, the
United States of America will
never harbor racial or religious
intolerance and persecution. Up-
on this principle our country was
founded and upon it depends the
perpetuation of democracy.
"God grant that the Hebrew
New Year 5701 may bring to
Israel throughout the world, the
same peace and protection that
the Jews of our Democracy have
always enjoyed and shall con-
tinue to enjoy in the United
States of America."
