ing so freely to the cause He also
spoke of the growth of the commu-
nifty during the past IL years. saying
that when he was here several years
ago the Jewish community was very
small. In speaking of the war suffer-
ings of the Jewish people he told of
his own family of II. IA of which are
in the armies now engaged in strife.
He said that a dollar given here would
only but about IS cents worth of black
bread for the starving Jews. There
are three million Jews in this country
while across the sea there are six
million and even when million dol
lars has been raised here the people
will eat it up in a great deal shorter
time. Mr.. De Haas emphasized the
fact that now was the time for all
people with a drop of Jewish blood in
their veins to come forward and help
and stand by their own. for the future
of those six million sufferers depends
upon the three millions in this coun-
try.

The sum of $1,000 was raised Sun
day evening at the Breed theatre for
the relief of the suffering Hebrews in
the war zones of Europe, when an
audience of several hundred freely
contributed to the worthy cause of a
stricken people. The meeting-was I'M
der the direction of the Zionists of
Norwich, they having as their speak
ers Rabbi Berlin and Jacob DeHaas of
New York
! The meeting was opened by Rabbi
Joseph NJ. Rosenberg who made a
short address and then introduced
Rabbi Berlin who said in part:
Every warning nation engaged in
the great struggle across the sea is
fighting for some gain, but there are
those who are non-combatants who
suit. The Jewish people on the boun-
deries of the nations at war, espec-
tally. those of Russia and Austria and
in Palestine have suffered not only
ferings are even extended to the jew
ish people here in this country as the
schools and educational centers of the
old world have been destroyed by the
mighty hand of the war.
Schools Destroyed.
Now is the time for every person of
Jewish blood to come forward and aid
in the great cause for when peace
reigns again the wishes and desires of
the Hebrew race to recover Palestine
may be realzeu. Inc Ialmud said
when the Jewish Sanhedrin was driven
away from Palestine the divine spirit
did not go. with them into exile but
when the Jewish children were driven
away the divine spirit went with them
into exile. On account of the war all
the Jewish schools are destroyed and
because of lack of financial support
they cannot be rebuilt and unless the
Jewish people of this country come
forward to the aid of the sufferers at
this time the chance of regaining their
lost land may be lost forever to the
Jews.
Contributors Gave Freely.
Following Rabbi Berlin's address
Herman Alofsin, End, who acted as
announcer, called for contributions
and within a short while the sum con-
tributed amounted upwards into the

their rescue from a fatal swirl. If we
succeed it will be because we are spir-

it will be, because there is in us an

We are called to produce the goods,

That stamp is on us when Christ,

Y. M. c. A. MEMS MEETING
Addressed by Rev. George H. Cham
bers in an Earnest Way.

The mems rally under the Y. NJ c.
A. auspices Sunday was interesting to
the men who attended. The music
by Swans orchestra and the popular
hymns were enjoyed, and the address
by Rev George H. Chambers was a
practical one: his textSwas taken from
Isaiah So: 6 and 7th verses, the points
emphasized were as follows, God is
very near to us many times and when
there is a distance between US and
God, it is because we wander away
from Him. Sin makes. the distance
between God and us: we are COM
manded to forsal1e our evil ways and
If we do this the promise is that He
will abundantly pardon.
We are urged to forsake our un
righteous thoughts and this is a very
important and necessary thing to do,
for acts are the fruits of thoughts,
and If a mans thoughts are pure and
right his life will be faithful.
The men were urged to live up to
the highest standard and evidently a
good impression was made.

REv. w. HARRISON RAYMOND.
In Good Health at East Hampton and
Attending to Regular Duties as
Pastor.

Rev. William Harrison Raymond of
East Hampton, pastor of the First
Congregational church at Haddam
Neck, directs attention to the fact that
the statement published in the West
that he had died at his home in East
Hampton and was buried at New Ro-
chelle is incorrect, since as he writes:
II am alive and enjoying good health
and attending to my regular duties as
pastor"
The Bulletin sincerely regrets that
such a mistake should have been
made and it takes pleasure in maxi
ing the correction.
