of ancient taboos, what would that
matter if the dietary laws had
present value in the life of the
Jews? The age of the customs does
not count. | think Isaac Luria's
additions to the literature some of
the finest that we have | think
them all the better because they
come from the Tenth Century and
not earlier. Have the ceremonies
any value in Our life? If so, they
are good. Remember when | say
present value | do not mean
value conferred by the present. |
mean value enjoyed by the present.
In religion everything depends upon
present value. If only we can all
of us, whatever school. we belong,
make up our minds to that, we shall
begin to solve the problem of Ju-
daism.

have been 100000 from Jacob H.
Schiff and an equal amount from
Nathan Stratus.
The sum contributed at the Sec
ond avenue office varied from 5
cents to $40, and came from hun
dreds of persons whose earnings are
small. a typical case was that of
sixteen-year-old girl who went to
the office late in the afternoon, after
a days work, and turned in two dol
lars, half of her weeks pay, which
she had just received from her en-
ployer.
The need Of haste is constantly
emphasized by Mr.. Strauss. "Move'
is Russia's command to her starving
war victims, as pitiful letter from
a driven sufferer attests, and move"
is the watchword of this sorely
needed fund to relieve a boundless
suffering.

THE $4,000, 900 RELIEF FUND.

A growing realization Of Jewish
suffering in the war zone is behind
the flood Of contributions that con-
tinues to pour into the headquarters
of the American. Jewish Relief Com
mittee. At the great mass meeting
December p, $850,000 was given in
cash and pledges. The total in cash
and redeemed pledges since that date
is more than 100000, with about
100000 additional in pledges.
Many pledges for monthly contrib
utions are received from persons
who, unable to pay out lump sums,
are willing to obligate themselves
for the periodic payment Of percent
ages of incomes.
From Saturday night to Tuesday
morning $4,000 in cash was re-
ceived.
With the first million dollars
raised, the community will have &C
complished the first part of the pro
gram, announced at the mass meet
ing in Carnegie Hall on Tuesday
night, which was to raise $1,OOO,COO
for the immediate relief of the war
sufferers. The second part of the
program, to raise $5,000,C00 before
the end of 1916, will be vigorously
prosecuted, and, in the opinion of
Mr. Warburg, DR.. ]. L. Magnes, and
Nanny Strauss, the campaign man
ager, the fund will be collected be-
fore the end of next year.
In accordance with the commit
tees policy of using contributions as
rapidly as they come in, $4,000
was sent on Friday to five centres Of
Jewish suffering. The money was
distributed as follows: to Russia,
$4,000; to German Poland, $780,
600; to Galicia $4,000; to Palestine,
$55,O0O, and to Saloniki, $4,000.

Winner in Road Race.

Julius Katz, of the Pennant Ath-
letic Club, won the annual New
Years Day six and one-half mile
handicap road race of the Holly
wood Inn, in Yonkers, New York.
The victory of the seventeen
year-old athlete was more impress
sive owing to the fact that he de-
feated field of 1874 starters which
included some of the best runners
in the district. Forty failed to
complete the course.
Katz started with a handicap of
SIS and gradually worked his way
to the front in the fourth mile. His
actual running time for the distance
was 1905.

emancipation and equality. | some
times thank God that there is anti
Semitism. We are all subject to
it. In England, very little, but here
and there it arises. We are in
sense on sufferance. Well, then, is
it not a fine thing for people to
be on sufferance? 1t is splendid
thing for me, as Jew, as cham
pion for equal rights, for the right
of every man to worship God in
his own way. | am not talking to
those now to whom Judaism means
something They need no argu-
ments as to why they should re-
main Jews. am not at all sure
that we have reason. We were
born Jews but | do not know why
we remain Jews.
Side by side with the pragmatic
theory of truth the modern world
is, | should say, mostly moved at
the present hour even more than
by the pragmatic question by the
growing desire to find an autonomy
as distinct from an authority.
Nearly all the modern writer's on
philosophic thought are tending in
this one direction There had been
a great growth of mysticism in our
times and mysticism always stands
for authority. Judaism has room
for mysticism. Mysticism means
a direct communion with God.
Without that you cannot pray to
God. Without that you cannot
have any relations with Him. Mys-
ticism means this feeling, this COM
munion with God which we all de-
sire to reach though we do not al
ways succeed. 1t is said that cere-
monies preface ideas. They may
or may not. | do not think that a
ceremony has always to precede an
idea but | do think that an idea
gave birth to a ceremony to express
it. Take the primitive culture of
early mankind There was never
system more ceremonial than theirs
was. Take all the vast system Of
totemism. Were they able to
maintain primitive culture? Take
the religion Of ancient Babylon. 1t
was ritualistic to extreme The
Greek and Roman religion were full
of ceremonies. None have sur-
vived. Obviously, | think, the
conclusion is clear. 1t is not the
ceremony which preserves the idea.
1t is the idea which preserves and
makes worth preserving the cere
monies.

that Russian immigrants should be

have demonstrated their loyalty to
France in many ways. The Minister
announced that the committee would
examine the cases of those eligible
for service and willing to join the
army, but that it did not possess
any powers to compel the immi-
grants to enlist.

Washington, N. c., July 26.-Tosse
on the turbulent waves of Pamlico
sound for two days in a small motor
boat. with the engine dead, 'and with
out a mouthful to eat, James Baugham
of this city, and John Wells Of Wilson,
finally arrived at Ocracoke according
to information brought to the city yes
terdav by parties returning from the
island. The two young men were so
weak when they arrived at their des-
tination that they had to be carried
from their craft to the hotel.
Baugham and Wells left here Friday
morning on the boat "Gee Whiz. -
When they reached the mouth of the
river the engine refused to work Ruug-
ham was engineer and Wells was pilot.
Day and night Baugham worked over
the machinery, but was unable to g 1t
it to start. The rain fell steadily dur
ing their stay on the sound, and they
were tossed here and there by tle huge
waves that came III from the ocean.
They had expected to reach Ocrarokn
Saturday morning, and rs result had
10 provisions on board. They were IL
most starved and were tired out to :, g
point of exhaustion when they finally
reached their destination.

WET AND DRY ELECTION QUIET

Jefferson City, May 1s.-Carroll-
ton recently had a "wet" and "dry'
fight that sets a precedent for all fu-
ture elections of that kind in Missouri
Ordinarily there is nothing that is
fought with such aerimony or is fol-
lowed by a more bountiful crop of
hard feelings and i'll viii between
neighbors and friends than the aver
age liquor election.
Carrollton folk got together when
the election was called and agreed to
taboo argument both before and after
the election. There was to be no
talk about it, no speeches on either
side, no poll working. Each voter
was to be left to vote as he saw fit.
The "drys7 won the election and
the scarcity of the "sore spots" is the
pleasant aftermath. Even a discus
sion Of the result ia mutually taboo
ed now.
