OUR KIDDIES' By Uncle David Dear Boys and Girls: Bar Mitvzah boys will be in- terested in the following verse by the fine Jewish woman and noted poet, who spent her last years in the colony Givat Bren- ner in Israel—Miss Jessie Samp- ter: We are the children of the Law, Our honor is that we obey. By truths our sires at Sinai saw Our lives are - sanctified today. Our promise is that we shall lead Because we learned the law in youth. Our name is princely, and our creed Is simple: that the Lord is truth. * * * Chosen to Bear the Greatest Burdens A wise rabbi was once asked why the Bible refers to the Jews as "God's Chosen People." The rabbi answered with this ex- planation: A king once ordered two regi- ments to come to his city resi- dence. To the one he gave dif- ficult duties, and to the other easy work and many liberties. A quarrel arose between the leaders of the two regiments. The one claimed that his regi- ment was regarded by the king with greater favor, but the other said that his regiment was the more honored because of its severer duties. The news of this quarrel came to the king. He immediately gave out this command : "You must not quarrel as to which regiment stands higher in my favor. Both serve me, and there is no question of any favors. But the regiment that proves it- self capable of bearing the greatest burdens serves me best." The Jewish people have been given great hardships to endure. They have proved themselves capable of bearing the responsi- bilities that were entrusted to them, and they never lost faith in God. For this reason they became recognized as a chosen people. * * 'The Greek King Learns From the Rabbis • Alexander the Great, who had conquered the ancient world, made a peaceful entrance into Palestine, and while there, he visited the Jewish rabbis, for he was eager to learn wisdom. "What man may be reckoned wealthy?" the Greek king asked. "He who has enough for his needs, and a little over," said the rabbis. "Who is a wise man?" Alex- ander went on. "He who is not ashamed to learn from anyone or anything on earth." "But who is strong?" said the conqueror, this time feeling sure of a flattering answer. The rab- bis replied to him: "He who can rule himself is stronger than the man that captures a city." And Alexander was sad, for the one person he could not govern was himself. In fact, he short- ened his life by his drunken- ness; and once, while maddened with drink, he killed his best friend, and grieved for it ever after! * * * Wisdom of the Talmud Beware of an over-pious ig- noramus and of one badly trained. Wisdom increases with years and so does folly. The rivalry of scholars ad- vances learning. Ignorance and conceit go hand in hand. If thou hast acquired knowl- edge, what canst thou lack? If thou lackst knowledge what can -thou acquire? Rich Flavorful Soup From Canned Salmon Canned salmon, familiar es- pecially to the homemakers of the Pacific Northwest, lends it- self to many delicious dishes, one of the being a rich flavorful s o u p. Deliciously flav- ored with bright flakes of salm- AL P•10;00 -1on, this soup is high in protein, minerals and vitamins. Salmon soup is a. bright meal starter or it becomes a satisfy- ing lunch when served with a crisp salad and toasted rolls. The ease with which it may be pre- pared recommends it for fre- quent serving. The liquid from the canned salmon should be used whenever possible for bone- building minerals and vitamin D are found in it. The paprika red color of the juice and the bits - of fat in the liquid add to the attractiveness of this soup.
