tically Every Center.

Eleven tons of Testaments, Cos
pels, portions and copies of the
Psalms have just been dispatched
from Great Britain by the British
and Foreign Bible society for the
prisoners of war in Russia.
''There were 81 cases, containing
over 100000 Volumes" the secretary
of the society told a London Daily
Chronicle representative, "and the
cost Of printing them alone was well
ovor 200. The volumes are print
ed III Polish, German, Hungarian
and Bohemian. He had no stocks
of such works in this country, so we
had to make zinc photographs of Is
editions which We had and print
them from those reproductions. The
cases will travel free over the Swed-
ISL state railways"
Already similar Testaments and
Gospel portions, printed in English,
Russian, French and Armenian, have
beer distributed among the prisoners
OF The central powers, to the number
Of well over 100000, and fresh sup
plies are still being sent.
ON addition to this" added the
secretary, cover 100000 volumes
have been distributed, the greater
part free, among the wounded in all
the hospitals at home and abroad,
and among the troops at all points.
They have gone to practically every
center, to the western front, to Gal
lipoli, Malta, Egypt, Cyprus and the

THE REASON WHY.

Thinking people wonder why the
Christian church with all it's auxil-
iaries has failed to accomplish any
thing for the good of mankind dur
ing the last 1000 years. All the talk
of our civilization being Christian,
and of everything else that is
good in modern life being Chris
tian, is, of course, mere rubbish.
Our civilization is the result of
forces that have worked in disregard,
and sometimes in spite, of Christian
ity. 1t is materialistic and thorough
ly pagan. In about fifty years Japan
has accomplished the same thing
without Christianity. OF course Ja-
pan has learned a great deal from So
called Christian nations, just as the
Christian nations in the Middle Ages
learned a great deal from the Mo-
hammedan nations and from classic
antiquity.
The reason is that the Christian
church has never stood for anything
that is definite, clear-cut, comprehen-
sible and applicable. 1t has always
dealt, and to this day deals, in hazy
verbiage.
Here is an example. A certain

the philosophy of Karl Marx. But,
brethren, this is free country, and
besides, one may be good Jew even
if he does not believe in the philoso-
ply of Karl Marx, or even if he goes
to "schul" only Mondays and Thurs
days.
And so we earnestly advise the
warning factions to speedily compose
their differences regarding the collec
ton and the handling of the moneys
for the war-sufferers' relief, and to
continue the good work that the
North Side community has done un-
til now.

EDl 1TORlAL
AN UNSEEMLY SQUABBLE.

A very regrettable occurrence is
the fight that has broken out in the
North Side Jewish section of Min
neapolis between two groups engag-
ed in the collection of money for the
war sufferers relief, group of
young people mostly known as
radicals" on the one hand, and Rab-
bi SLIDER and his synagog followers
on the other. The quarrel seems to
have started over the question
whether the money weekly collected
by the young people should continue
to be sent by them to the Peoples
Relief Committee of New York, or
should be forwarded by Rabbi Sill
Der to the Central Relief Committee
which he locally represents.
TO one on the outside it seems al
together too trivial matter to fight
over, especially since the squabblc
undoubtedly interferes with the sue
cess of the work. For one group to
advise and to urge the North Side
public not to respond to the solicita
ton of the other group, as has actual
ly been done, is positively crying
wrong. People are only too glad to
take such advice, and to have some
excuse for refusing to give. In the
meantime the cause of relief work
suffers. We do not wish to take sides
in this matter. We are neutral.
What the other grievances are that
the two groups have against each
other we do not know and do not
care about. There may be theologi
cal differences between them, or diff
ferences of opinion on politico-eco-
nomic questions. Rumor has it that
many members Of the radical group
don't attend "schul" as often as they
should. On the other hand we are
told that some members of the ORTIZ
odox party hold herctical views on

ioyousness in all the activities of life,
especially at worship, and at public
meals. But his important function,
which is a very lucrative one, is to
receive people who are in some trou-
bic or difficulty, and to bless them,
pray for them, or give them advice,
for consideration. There is no stip-
ulated fee, of course, but a person
gives according to his ability and in
clination People come to him with
their ailments, their business difficult
ties, their domestic or marital trou
bles. Childless women come to pc
tition for the blessing Of children.
The reader will at once see that
there is an element of Christian Sci
ence in all that. The "rebbe" is a
healer plus several other things. This
hassidic Science" however, is an
old institution in Jewfy. The hassidic
rebbes have been hourishing in East
European Jewries for over century.
That Minneapolis should at last have
been found worthy of harboring such
a rebbe in it's midst, be it even for
a short time, is indeed great dis.
tinction. We hope that St. Paul will
be found equally worthy.
