blackstenciled letters:
"Consigned to Polish Embassy,
U.S.S.R., from Joint Distribution
Committee."
Today thousands of destitute
Polish Jewish refugees scattered
from the Arctic Circle to the Per-
sian border are eating the mat-
zoth which made up this cargo,
and drawing more than physical
sustenance from them.
Last year the J.D.C. shipped 60
tons of matzoth to the Polish
refugees in Russia. Later we
got reports on how they were re-
ceived. The refugees stood in
silent, unbelieving awe as the
matzoth were unpacked in the
villages and hamlets. Some cried,
some straightened their shoulders
anew. True, they had been re-
ceiving all kinds of medicines,
from boric acid to sulfanilamide,
and all kinds of hospital and sur-
gical tools from the J.D.C. Even
blankets and diapers. But mat-
zoth—they couldn't believe it. It
represented the final assurance
that "they," the American Jews,
thought of them and all their
needs. "It's easier to hope, it's
easier to live," they said.
I knew a refugee in Lisbon—
he is now in a Latin American
country—who waited a long, long
time before he got his visa. His
wife was killed by Stukas when
he fled France after the col-
lapse. His son fell in the For-
est of Ardennes when the Nazi
panzer divisions broke through at
that end of the Maginot Line.
All he had left in the world was
a small daughter. It was for
her that he lived. And each
seder night in Lisbon he would
break off a piece of matzoth,
wrap it in a clean white hand-
kerchief and put it away in his
pocket. Months later when I had
to tell him that he would have
to continue to wait for that pre-
cious visa he took out the care-
fully wrapped piece of matzoh
and said:

Editor's Note—Doctors and Rabbis are somewhat akin—they min-
ister ordinarily to the body and the soul. It is not remarkable
therefore to find a physician who has been asked to conduct
simple services for the Jewish soldiers, accepting with modest
reluctance, and then—with such stirring word and thought—
leading the prayers with sincerity and conviction.

Somewhee in the South Pacific.
Dear
Today I conducted my second
service with a fine attendance
and a satisfying feeling on the
part of all those who attended.
Last week we met in the mess
hall which was warm and noisy.
This week I had a pulpit that was
worthy of the best. Imagine
standing on the forward deck
right up to the very tip of the
bow with the sky as the vault of
my temple and my little congre-
gation gathered before me in
humble and dignified assemble
while the rest of the ship's com-
pany maintained a respectful dis-
tance as we carried out our serv-
ices.
I am somewhat handicapped by
having but one prayer book which
makes it impossible to have a re-
sponsive reading. We are plan-
ning to type some of the English
material in order to remedy this
defect. It will be a long time
before you receive this letter, but
it may not be amiss for you to
ask the Jewish Welfare Board to
dispatch 25 more of their army
prayer books to me.
With respect to the re-
action of the men to whom the
Jewish Welfare Board kits were
distributed, I can only say that
the spiritual effect far out-
weighed the intrinsic value of
the gift This act is signifi-
cant in that it satisfies an im-
portant psychological need, the
need for preserving one's sense
