5-Year Colonizatio n Experiment
in Jersey Reports Success
HIGHTSTOWN, N. J. (JPS)-
An effort to transplant Jewish
clothing workers from the crowded
Bronx to the agricultural soil of
New Jersey under the auspices
of the U. S. Farm Resettlement
Administration was reported here
a success five years after the ex-
periment was begun.
and signed in New York State by
Governor Lehman in 1940.
Mayor Philip Goldstein, from
the beginning chief executive of
Jersey Homesteads, as the pro-
ject is known, and his associates
feel that the 100 families who re-
main of the first 120 who came
here are happy on their half-acre
plots from which they go to work
in near-by industrial establish-
ments. Administration critics have
branded the homestead project as
wasteful, Senator Harry Byrd of
Virginia claiming at one time that
the government had sunk $4,000,-
000 into the acreage. It is ad-
mitted that the original idea of
having the workers cultivate their
farms as well as operate industrial
machines has not been successful,
since many who live here go long
distances to work, the factories
of the Jersey Homesteads having
been bankrupted.

Fascinating Story
Of Many Religions
A. Eustace Ilaydon, professor
of history of religion at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, has written
a most fascinating story of the
religions of the world.
"Biography of the Gods" 's the
title of Prof. Haydon's book
which was published by the Mac-
millan Co. It is a thrilling ex-
planation of the birth of religious
feeling. of the religions of Jews
and Christians, of the faiths of
China and India. of Allah and
Buddah and Bodhisattva.
The chapter on "Yahweh" is in
essence a history of the Jews.
Yahweh is described as "an ever-
Present providence, champion of
the social values of a human
ideal.
The orthodox may object to
the approach of the deity called
Yahweh. But it is evident that
Prof. Haydon is well informed,
understanding, and objective.
"Through all his life and all the
vicissitudes of philosophic wea-
ther. Yahweh has stood for the
noblest human values, a social
ideal of perfected human hap-
piness," is the author's descrip-
tion of Israel's God.
The chapter on "The Christian
God," is of particular interest.
"It wrs not the terching of Jesus
about God." Prof. Havdon
"hut tt, e teachings of Christians
about Jesus that gave the Chris-
tian God the qualities which dis-
t ngushf'd him from PH the other
Gods of the Graeeo-Roman world.
I ike Jesus himself. fly! early dis-
;hales and Jewish Christian
churches recognized no God but
Yahweh of Israel." Then thu
author proceeds to state: "As the
leadership of the churches passed
from Jews to men immersed in
the religious idea; and natterns
of Hellenistic culture, the Mes-
siah. Jesus. wns advanced to the
rank of deity."
Prof. Havdon winds up his in-
teresting theses with the declara-
tion that "no deity can 'maintain
his existence in the modern
world who stood in the path of
realization of social values."
Also. "more imnortant than faith
in God is devotion to the human
ideals of which he has become
the symbol." It is an unorthodox
way of approaching the issue.
but the evaluations of the vari-
ous deities will be found of great
value and interest to the stu-
dents of divinity. as well as to
the average reader who is in-
terpsted in the development of
religions.
Benjamin Franklin once sad:
"Man will ultimately be gov-
erned by God or by tyrants."
This quotation leads off the story
incorporated by Rev. Franklin P.
Cole, minister of the Williston
Church in Portland, Me., in "They
Preached Liberty," published by
Fleming H. Revell Co.
This volume is "an anthology
of timely quotations from New
England ministers of the Ameri-
can Revolution on the subject of
Liberty: its source, nature, obli-
gation, types, and blessings."
The quotations themselves are
important, and valuable. Some
of the outstanding religious lead-
ers of the Revolutionary period
are among those quoted, includ-
ing Jonathan Mayhew, Samuel
Cooper, Jonas Clark.
The compiler also writes an in-
teresting introductory essay ex-
plaining his thesis, and he also
presents biograhical sketches of
those quoted. He makes a strong
case for his contention that the
ministers of that time were not
interested in theology alone, but
that they conducted a valiant
fight for liberty and justice. His
case is made ctrong by the fol-
lowing quotation from the elec-
tion sermon of 1772 delivered be-
fore the Massachusetts Council
and House of Representatives by
Rev. Moses Parsons of Newbury
Falls: "Watchmen upon the walls
must not hold their peace—they
must cry and not spare, must
reprove for what is amiss, and
warm when danger is approach-
ing."
It is a timely quotation—and
an appropriate warning for our
time. Similarly timely and im-
portant are the other quotations
appearing in this volume—and
their reprinting in serial form
will make an excellent and help-
ful weapon for democracy in the
present crisis.
Ickes Calls Lindbergh Hitler
Mouthpiece
N E W YORK.—(JPS)—Hard-
hitting Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes subjected ex-
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
and his wife to one of his scath-
ing indictments at a Bastille Day
meeting here, when he pointed
out that Lindbergh had found
nothing to say about the Rus-
sian-Nazi war until he had evi-
dently been prompted by Nazi
suggestions that the cue was
now to attack Communism.
Neither Lindbergh nor his wife,
said Ickes, had found any fault
with Russia while that country
seemed to be Hitler's partner.
On the contrary, Russia and Ger-
many both had been described
by them as riding on "the wave
of the future."
