POOR RABBI.

Speaking of hard times and
streaks of bad luck, colleague tells
us the mournful tale that recently
in less than month he had the fol-
lowing sad experiences: He travel
ed $50 miles to address two gather
ings and had to pay his own travel
ing expenses and hotel bill; and he
spoke at a school graduation, and
the promised honorarium has not
vet materialized. We assured our
colleague that if he would be little
more specific and give us all the
necessary data, such as names, and
places, we should be glad to publish
them, if for no other reason than to
show how self-denying people are
at the expense of others.

GIVE YOUR OWN A TRIAL.

1t frequently happens that Jews
and Jewesses, mostly the latter,
who were quite lukewarm in their
loyalty to the synagog, seldom
attending it's services, indifferent
to any of it's observances, ignorant
of it's prayer book and it's Bible,
become, when yielding to the al
lurements of some new-fangled
faith, it's most ardent followers,
and most scrupulous devotees.
They never miss an occasion OF
worship, observe all rules and reg
ulations most punctiliously, read
and study it's sacred literature
most devoutly.
In explanation they will tell you
that the synagog furnished them
no inspiration, it's prayers no edlfl-
cation, it's Bible had no interest for
them, or was a book with seven
seals. It is altogether the fault
of the synagog that as Jews they
were religiously Indifferent, while
as believers in the new scheme OF
salvation new beauties are revealed
to them in Bible, in prayer and
in religious doctrine. Yet whatever
is good in the new faith, whatever
of real comfort and courage it
offers it's adherents, is taken from
the treasures of the synagog. There
are no sublimer thoughts of God
than those voiced in our Bible,
there is no finer faith, no more
cheering optimism than those OF
our Bible and prayer-book.
If our compliments and critics
find no comfort in the synagog,
derive no light, guidance and
strength from it, it is not the syna-
gog's fault, but their own. They
have never given it fair trial.
While nominally connected with 1t,
in reality it receives the least at
tention from them. Any amuse-
ment, any pastime, be it ever so

According to John Callan

THE POPE AND THE ZION
IST MOVEMENT.

The Provisional Zionist Commit
tee has been advised that the Pope
recently granted an interview to
Nahum Sokolow, the emissary of
the Zionist Inner Actions Commit
tee, during the course of which His
Holiness reiterated several times
thorough accord with the aim to
establish Jewish National Home
land in Palestine.
His Holiness informed Mr.. Soko-
low that he had already received
report on this subject from Cardin-
al Gasparri, but, nevertheless, he
welcomed the opportunity of reciv-
ing fuller details of the project
from a representative of the Zion
lists. His Holiness declared that
he viewed with entire sympathy
the Jewish efforts for the regain
ing of Palestine, and that he saw
no obstacle whatsoever from the
point of view of his religious inter-
ests. He was concerned only with
the holy places, which, he hoped,
would be properly safeguarded by
special arrangements.
Mr.. Sokolow gave His Holiness
the assurance that the Jews would
most carefully respect Christian re-
ligious properties and Christian
sentiments. His Holiness replied
that he received these assurances
with the fullest confidence. He eX-
pressed his best wishes for the re-
alization of the Zionist program,
and spoke most sympathetically of
Great Britain's Intentions He
ended the interview by repeating
several times: eve shall be good
neighbors-we shall be good neigh
bors."

O'Loughlin says:
"President Wilson is giving seri-
Gus consideration to the Zionist
recommendations that one of the
war aims of the United States
shall be the establishment of a
Jewish Republic, with Jerusalem as
it's capital.
"Ostensibly, the commission
which consists Of Henry Morgen-
THAI, former ambassador to Tur-
key, Major Felix Frankfurter,
u. S. A.; and E. w. Lowin-Epstein,
connected with the Zionist Move
ment treasurer of the Provisional
Zionist Committee) is enroute to
Egypt and Palestine for the pur-
pose of aiding suffering Jews.
"This, however, will be but a
small part Of the duty of Mr.. Nor
genthau and his colleagues" con-
tinues Mr.. O'Loughlin "As a mat
ter of fact, they have been in
structed to make thorough in
vestigation of the Jews in Pales-
tine and neighboring sections OF
Turkey, and to follow carefully the
campaign against the Turks and
Germans which the British are con-
Quoting. The reports the Commits
sion will make will be of the ut
most value to the President in guild
ing him as to the character OF the
terms he will fix as conditions for
the settlement Of the war"
AS against this report by Mr..
OLoughlin, the State Department
has issued statement that the
Morgenthau Commission has moth
ing to do with the question OF an
independent Palestine.

JEWS OF LANOlNU Ed ADLlOI1
RECORD. /.
Thirty-five Families Give 81, 500 for
War Relief.
Lansing, Mich.-A new record
for per capita contributions has
been established by Lansing, Mich,
a city of working people and which
contains but thirty-five Jewish
families. But this small handful
of people have contributed $4,000
to the War Relief Fund.
This amount was raised at a
mass meeting on June rs at the
Maccabee hall. Every Jewish man,
woman and child physically able
to attend was there. The meeting
was called to hear Adolph Finster-
man, Rabbi Leo Franklin, Anton
Kaufman and Milton Alexander,
all of Detroit, make pleas for the
war victims.
The meeting was opened by j.
B. Simon, chairman, who is the
president of the local B'nai Birth
lodge. When the call for subscrip-
lions came he pledged 20 per cent
of the total amount to be raised,
his contribution thus amounting to
5000. The largest donor was Jo-
seph Gerson, who contributed
$1,000 and $3.50 in the name OF
his children.

MOONS EFFECTS NOT KNOWN
May Be Key to Sleep Walking and
Kindred Disorders, Declares
Writer in Medical Journal.

All persons in all times have seen
an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulness, both animal
and vegetable.
"Even now" says the New York
Medical Journal, "the onions which
come to our city market owe their ex-
cellence to the farmers careful con-
junction of planting time with the
phases Of the MOON"
Such ideas have been so universal
that mans unconscious mind still pre-
serves them, though his judgment may
scorn them as absurd.
Doctor Sadger of Vienna cites cases
of somnambulists who under the influ-
ence of moonlight are recalled to times
and scenes of active childish wishes.
The moon calls them in deep sleep to
act out dream wishes"
The Medical Journal suggests that
the key to sleep walking and other
kindred disorders Of childhood and
late life may be found In moon-lore.

crops in adjacent fields, the possibili-
ties Of the covering of barren embank-

type of these cars is described in POpu-

OF Interest To $

The primitive Baptist church at
Shiloh was awarded the possession
Of two acres Of land at Shiloh, three
miles north Of Dresden. In suit be-
tween the church and Sid Harris.
The two acres Of land was formerly
owned by the Harris estate and was
decided by w. R. Harris to the trus-
tees Of the church on condition that.
said church did not repudiate the
faith Of the Phillisic association,
composing which association there
are thirteen church organizations in

the Shiloh Church had forfeited Its
right to the land by reason Of going
In with the Missionary Baptists at
Shiloh and building a union house
Of worship on the land. Harris
was enjoined from taking possession
Of the land. and at the present
term Of chancery court Judge Nc
Kinney held that the land was the
property Of the church. making the
injunction perpetual. The able
chancellor further held that the
church had not departed from the
faith Of the Phillisic association.
