There was less paradox in 'hat shift than appeared, however. The upward march that Rose Schneiderman did so much to start had now progressed to a point where women felt able to stand on their oun feet, with walls of special protection as unwelcome as walls of prejudice.

Relatives and friends are asked to attend. Prayer is not, as some think, the invention of religious leaders. It preceded prophets and priests, tem- ples and houses of prayer. Prayer is essential the product of man's yearning for the most intimate of all human communications, for the opportunity to open his heart and his mind in adoration and supplica- tion to the divine presence. This longing to pour out one's heart be- fore God is natural and even nec- essary, provided one believes that there is a God who created the uni- verse and is concerned with man, the crown of His creation. The roots of this yearning are to be found in man's sense of insuffici- ency, especially in time of stress, and in his desire to liberate him- self from the burden of sin and the enslavement to evil. Prayer is also born of man's sense of wonder, from his aware- ness of God's marvelous creation and the miracles that daily bear witness to God's goodness and love. One of the introductory benedic- tions of the daily morning service describes the marvel of the human body and its normal functions, and it concludes with the benediction "Praised art Thou, 0 Lord, wno healest all flesh and doest wonder- fully." Born in Pittsburgh. the son of Max and Annie Levant, he quit school at age 15 and turned to music for a living. Ile studied un- der Sigismund Stojowski and Ar- nod Schoenberg. Among the movies in which he acted was "Rhapsody in Blue." the story of George Gershwin's life, in which Levant played himself.

Alvarez' Scholarly In his "Study of Suicide," in the intriguing volume "The Savage God," published by Random House, the noted author, A. Alva- rez, makes these interesting ob- servations: "The figures are higher in the wealthy industrialized countries than in the underdeveloped, high- er among the comfortable profes- sional middle classes than among the poor; they were extraordinarily low in the Nazi concentration camps." Alvarez draws extensively upon Freud. He quotes him: "Life loses in interest, when the highest stake in the game of living, life itself, may not be risked." The experiences of many au- thors, their interpretations, the many incidents of suicide among people of eminence, are drawn up- on for a definition of the subject and evaluation of this study. Turning to extremes, Alvarez refers to the "hundreds of Jews (who) put themselves to death at Masada rather than submit to the Roman legions." The author draws extensively upon the writings of Boris Paster. nak, the Russian Nobel Prize win- ner, and he quotes from Paternak's tribute to Ossip Mandelstam and Isaak Babel who disappeared in the Russian purges. Linked with the personal view of suicide and extensive experi- ences in literary circles, the Alva- rez study is a fascinating outline of a most serious subject. espe- cially' in this age in which the growth of suicides is constantly statistical indicated in many studies A great man is always willing tit Emerson — R.
