It was this creative, constructive, prophetic drive to build a better world that kept Judaism alive. The heart of Judaism is a kind of Patria of the Spirit.

We must make certain that during this period of stress and tension there is no setback to the goodwill efforts which we have all been working for during the past 15 years.

This is the common task of Jews and Christians today and the Jews have a splendid contri- bution to make to it. DR. EVERETT R. CLINCHY among Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and to foster cooperation among members of their faiths on matters of common concern to them as citizens. This is what the National Conference of Chris- tians and Jews is doing and urg- ing every citizen to do.

It is therefore our most important internal task to resist any efforts to nullify or vitiate democratic processes, and to re- dedicate ourselves with renewed EXTENDS BEST WISHES To all its Members and to Jewry in general, for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. • • The Aesculapian Pharmaceutical Association of Detroit On the occasion of the New Year takes this means of extending best wishes to all of its mem- bers as well as the entire Jewish Community for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. •
