THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
NEED OF A REVIVAL.

e'ii' NiolI ~ vi llIN 1. ~. - -. II
Mr.. Edward Menkin, Director Of
Intellectual Advancement, pro-
pounds the question: "What can
be done to bring Jews back to Jud
aism::" The answer would be made
much easier if the Intellectual Di-
rector would throw a little more
light on his question: What does he
mean by bringing Jews back to
Judaism: If Jew turns Christian,
Christian Scientist, or Ethical Cul-
turist, we may speak of bringing him
back to Judaism; but for the time
being he is no Jew any more and
the question does not apply to him.
As long as the Jew, however, re
mains ew, has not joined any
other fold, in what sense can we
speak of him as having left Judaism
and of the necessity of bringing him
back to it?
We suspect, though that Mr.. Men
kin, means Judaism in a somewhat
narrower sense, namely the religion
Of Judaism. Here the question is
very apropos, timely, and urgent.
Indeed, what shall we do to bring
them back to Judaism? Religion is
losing its hold upon the Jew, even
as it is losing it upon his neigh
Dor, the Christian. And it matters
not to what synagog this Jew nom
inallv belongs. orthodox. conserva-
tive or Reform. And it matters not
whether this Jew attends the syna-
cog once a year, or a hundred and
one times year. Synagog attend

ligion, not Jewish religion. 1t does
show a desire to cultivate religion.
to submit to it's influence. 1t is one
way of expressing and satisfying
ones religious cravings. and nourish
ing ones religious sentiments. But
when that is said. all is said in re-
gard to it. as far as Judaism is con-
Cerned.
1t is religion in higher sense
from which our people are estrang

THE CAUSE OF PREJUDICE.

THE CAUSE OF PREJUDICE.
"Howe's Monthly has the follow
ing:
The prejudice against the negro is
because he is ignorant, shiftless,
poor and immoral. The prejudice
against the Jew is because he is in
dustrious, intelligent, prosperous
and has a higher record for morality
than the average among the Gen
tiles. 1t is not surprising that Frank
was punished for crime he didn't
commit last year; we have been
Furnishing his people for crime they
didn't commit two thousand wears
ago"
We clipped the above from one
of our exchanges, one of the best
edited at that. 1t will naturally find
its way in all other Jewish papers,
as is the good old-established Gus
tom. People must think the writer
of the paragraph very clever. Peo-
pie generally admire such epigram-
matte antithesis, and they believe
that it contains the essence Of wis
dom, that it is spark Of genius. We
know some public speakers who are
famous and are idolized because of
their cleverness in the construction
of epigrammatic phrase and SEN
tence. though their content may be
the merest nonsense and rubbish.
Now, there is not a grain of truth
or sense in the above item. 1t is
not true that the prejudice against
the negro is because he is ignorant,
etc. This is most cruel libel against
the race. We emphatically DENY
that. all things considered. the ne
gro is OF lower morality than other
human beings. One must be both
an lgnoramus and a fool not to
know that. The prejudice against
the negro is because for generations
he was used as a slave against his
will, and hence the idea of his ma
tural inferiority has developed from
his slave condition, and people who
love to think Of somebody as infer

BASEBALL PHRASES

New Universities Dictionary Defines
Terms Used by "Fans'

Terms Used by "Fans"
Baseball. this country's great ma
tional pastime, has come to have a
language of it's own. The newspaper
men who follow the fortunes of the
various big league teams throughout
the season of activity on the diamond
would not be able to tell their story
if they did not employ many words
and expressions whose meaning is
clear enough to the more enthusiastic
fans" but often more or less obscure
to casual followers of the game.
The New Universities Dictionary be-
ing offered to the readers of this paper
contains a supplementary dictionary
giving an exhaustive list of such terms,
and defines them so fully and clearly
that anyone after a little study would
be able to read understandingly the
most difficult of the sporting EDITORS
passages.
The study of this list will be found
not only entertaining, but instructive,
as many OF the words treated therein
have been borrowed by writer's in the
general field of literature Seeking new
and effective means of expression, and
their use outside of the baseball col
umn in the newspaper has come to be
regarded as both proper and in good
taste.
The expression "hugging the base"
for instance, in baseball parlance,
means that runner is keeping close
to base, fearing a. surprise play; 1t
also aptly conveys the idea of a cau-
tious attitude in any one of a number
of situations that can easily be i'm
agined. Students of language will

porated in the New Universities Die
tionary OF vital interest.

not only the right of asylum for politi-
cal refugees in foreign legations and
Christians fleeing for protection in
times of prosecution to the mission
compounds of the various nations.
At the present time America being
the only neutral nation, with missions
in Persia and Turkey, it's hospitality
has been heavily taxed by the terrified

So great is the prestige of the Amer
lean flag, that it has frequently hap
pened In case of massacres in Turkey,
that two or three unarmed missionar-
les have been able to protect within
their compounds thousands of native
refugees. At Tarsus, during the mas
sacres of 1909 and 1910, Mrs. Christie
and two other women alone stood be-
tween bloodthirsty mob and thou
sand of threatened Americans, who
had herded in the compound of the
American school. This is what is hap
pening at the present time in Persia.
In addition to providing protection
at the present time, American mis-
sions all over the Levant are giving
shelter and food to the hungry natives,
who have been driven from their
homes by the military upheaval.
All this involves measure of peril /;

some group, especially of Turkish SOL
