lean Jewry to condemn with caution
For if some miscellaneous person
should perchance hold the Mexican
mirror up to us we might find that
all is not peace within. The COM
missioners who have been trying to
make peace between the Jewish Con-
gress and Conference have had an
unhappy time of it. They who seek
to reconcile Zionist and anti-Zionist
may be smitten on both cheeks as
requittance. 1t is hardly worth while
to enumerate all the schisms. Each
faction, however, finds it worth
while to anathematize the other.
Fortunately our troubles are most
ly our own. But as with Mexico we
can never be sure how far-reaching
and how baheful is the influence Of
these internal dissensions. Looking
only within our own ranks, it will
be hard for the Jewish tent to remain
standing with the several factions
each seeking to pull up the poles not
planted by themselves. Looking be-
You'd our ranks, our voice in the
councils of the world, whether raised

unity of God imply necessarily the
unity of man? And should not

origin of life. At the meeting of the

solutions can convert the lifeless into

We were In communication all the

1t was all dangerous, for at any time
we might be discovered. But we had

for the Jewels or the bill Of sale.
Whenever l made this search, Juan
was to be following Captain Hanska.

The next time Juan called, he looked
over the house. He found that you

could get on to the fire escare from
the window of the lumber room across
the hall from mine. That room was

began the search. went down the
fire escape. carrying a pocket electric
