The day-by-day struggle for a liveli- hood sinks into insignificance when we consider and analyze the suffering of our people throughout the world. We may shed bitter tears at the thought of Hitler's annihilation of more HAPPY NEW YEAR TO Anchor Steel 8 Conveyor Co. 2563 BELLEVUE AVE. IV. 2057 than two millions of our breth- ren; we may be despondent at the thought of the destruction of millions of other innocent peo- ple throughout the world. Yet all these sacrifices will have been in vain unless there is a spiritual reawakening of Israel and the entire world so that we may win the peace as well as the war. This is the spiritual signifi- cance of Rosh Hashonah and of Yom Kippur in this, mankind's most critical era. These Holy Days, and the period intervening between them, are a time in Ju- daism when we renew our adher- ence to the cardinal principles of our faith which proclaims that life and the right to happiness are man's most precious posses- sion and that the destruction of life is eouivalent to the violation of the Majesty of God. The National Jewish Hospital at Denver is founded on Jewish ethics, the application of which knows no limitation of sectarian- BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR MONARCH PATTERN —.AND.— ENGINEERING CO. 5 680 TWELFTH STREET TRINITY 1 -4240 HEARTIEST GREETINGS FOR Rom HASHONAH LAUCOMER & MANSER "Structural Industrial Engineers" BOULEVARD BLDG.

During this New Year of 5704, the National Jewish Hospital ap- proaches its 45th anniversary of service to all Americans. Just as charity is one of the cardinal principles of Jewish life and philosophy, so is the hospital's work an exemplification of this ideal. Opened in 1899, the year 5660 of Israel, by Bnai Brith, as the first national non-sectarian insti- tution for the free treatment of the tuberculosis poor in this country, the National Jewish Hos- pital, while still regarded by the VALOR (Continued from Page 5) the Balfour Declaration. Edwin Montagu, one of Lily's brothers, had been influential in opposing the plan of creating a Jewish na- tional homeland in Palestine dur- ing the early negotiations be- tween the Zionist organization and the British Government. It was not easy for Lily Mon- tagu to break away and chart her own course—particularly in the face of her own family's op- position. She tells how she first went her way at the age of 18, but ludicrously still tied to her governess' apron strings. Wealthy women in England, even up to the time of the present war, were expected to lead rather inactive lives, though with occasional ef- forts at some form of social serv- ice. One of Lily's older sisters led a small group of Jewish girls, with whom she met once a week for discussion. Lily soon realized how deep was the need that this group represented—a need which her sister only vaguely sensed; and, as Lily accompanied her sister to these meetings in a poorer section of London, she persuaded her sister to let her take over the group. And so on Saturday afternoons, when the girls returned from work, Lily began to take charge. In review- ing these early meetings, Miss Montagu recalls how comical she must have appeared; an aristo- cratic young lady, educated at one of the best schools but ac- companied always by her govern- ess, trying to give practical help in matters of career, marriage, social betterment, religious prob- Jewish community as its responsi- training program listing more bility, has become the servant than 50 useful and gainful occu- of the entire American commu- pations are some of the reasons nity. why patients at the National Renewed health and a new Jewish Hospital are able to face chance to become useful members of society is the hospital's goal See PROGRAM—Page 13 for each man, woman and child suffering from tuberculosis who finds shelter within its walls.
