THE HARP OF FAITH.

At midnight, so the rabbis tell,
When David slept profound.
A harp suspended on his couch
Gave forth trembling sound.
Up sprang the royAl bard inspired.
His fingers touched the chord,
And with strange badness In his soul,
In psalms he praised the Lord.
At midnight, when the doubts assaii;
And anxious fears surround.
o Soul of mine, amid all gloom.
Give forth a Joyous sound.
q bid me seize tho harp of faith.
And sing holy strain, -qe
Until each day my life and thought
Resound in glad refrain.

THE JEWRY OF THE WORLD.
RECONSTRtGTED PALESTINE.

DR.. VIM. s. Friedman In an inter
view In the Denver Post says:
Palestine should be PUT under in
tsrnationai protection, with equal
rights for Jew. Christian and Moslem,
Il am heartily in favor Of affording
to the Jews of prosecuted countries
Russia, Poland, Galicla, Palestine and
any other Jews-an opportunity of be-
coming full citizens of Palestine and
the right to follow unhampered their
religious aspira ti0ns," said the rabbi.
The great majority of Jews are not
going to return. The Jew is pa
triotic citizen of the land In which
he lives. In France he il a French
man ir England. an Englishman. and
here. In beloved America, he is as
loyal a patriot as can be found. How
ever, there are Jews In benighted
countries who have never been given
an opportunity to become citizens.
and these should have a chance to
further the welfare of the land that
they adopt or in which they are
born.
''The American Jew, granted all the
privileges and responsibilities of any
other American citizen, feels that
America Is his spiritual as well as his
political home. and that here he can
develop the best that Is In him. If
the Jew who has no home is eager to
huild one ON the soil made sacred by
the dust Of his ancestors. the Jews
Of America and the Jews Of the
world at large will give him moral
and material help.
II believe that one of the great
results Of the world catastrophe will
be mutual understanding and compre-
hension and appreciation Of the vari-
GUS religions for each Otiss-. Funda
mental to this war is a common re-
ligious ideal Of justice, liberty, demo-
cracy and fraternity. We are united
for the realization of great ideal.
Men who are at one and stand sh0ul-
der to shoulder, Jew and Christian. In
tpeir willingness to make the supreme
sacrifice for the great religious ideal,
cannot be SO widely separated after
this ideal shall have become q real
lily. This h. tha day ~ bls things

festations Of Ill will and irreligious
hostility will be largely eradicated ms

ligion will live and grow and flourish

AN OPEN LETTER TO DOGNATIC
ANTIzI9NIsTs.

d
Rabbi Nathan Krass. ofs the Central
synagog, New York. has recently
published the following letter OF
queries which he 5ddresses to the
AntiziOnists:
What will you do IL Zionism be-
comes realityg You have constant
~ maintained that the Jews are only
n religious denomination. You have
reiterated most empha tically tn. the
Jews do not constitute race. You
have minimized almost TO the zero
point the ethnic aspect Of Israel You
have vociferonsly urged that Judaism
is religion only and that Israel
merely means those people who be-
lieve in Judaism. You have main
tained that inasmnch as the Jews
nre not a people. they can not be a
nation.
1 am very much concerned as to
what will become of you In case the
Jews under the aeGis Of the Allies are
granted not only full domIcillary
rights but also some measure of au-
tonomy politically in Palestine. VIII
you resign from the Jewish racef Will
you change Judaism into monotheism
and call yourselves m0nofheists? Will
SON deny hietesirnl s5atinasnip or any
other kind Of relationship with the
Jews who may live as separate ma
tiouality In Palestine?
YOu have maintained that 1t Is Gods
will that Israel be eternaily scattered
among the peoples Of the earth. II
Israel should return to Palestine what
will you do with your theological as
sfrvatiOns? There are many like my
self who. looking into the future. are
not only curious but anxious to know
what you have in mind in regard to
the progress of Judaism in case Zion
ism becomes a reality.
There are many Of MS who are not
as enthusiastic about the Palestine
commonwealth as others are. Never
theless. we see that such state OF
affairs IL not only possible, but prob
able. You evidently deny not only the
possibility. not only the probability.
not only the desirability, but also the
international aspect of restored Zion.
What will become Of your theological
theories. Of your philosophic phrases,
of your self-assurance In the possess
s;op Of the secret of God as regards
the destiny Of Israel? These aues-
tions are asked you in good faith.
There is no desire to arouse con-
temptible controversies or to stir up
raucous hostility. We want to have
clear thinking ON all important sub
jects and / believe n clear and dis
passionate answer to the questions
have propounded will he OF invaiuaole
interest to those of us who are deep
ly concerned in the future. not only
of Judaism but Of the Jews.

Shad Roe a la Newburgh

Either boil or parboil the shad roe.
Of the latter, add few drops of vinegar
and slice of onion to the water in
which 1t is cooked.) Chill on the ice
and cut in small cubes Put one table
spoonful of oleo in the upper part of
the ehafing dish, add the roe and cook
over a moderate heat for three minutes
Then add one cupful of thin cream, one
half teaspoonful of salt, the yolks of
Two eggs, lightly beaten. and paprika
to taste. Stir constantly over the hot
water pan until we'll thickened, flavor
with little sherry and serve.
Rice Flour Biscuits
Mix together two cupsful of rice -four
and one scant cupful Of wheat flour and
add four level teaspoonsful of baking
powder and generous half teaspoonful
of salt. Rub in one tablespoonful of
oleo and wet to a soft dough with skim
milk. Have the dough as soft as can
be handled, roll out lightly, cut. brush
over with a little milk and bake in a
quick oven. This gives a delicate bis
cuit, with only 33 per cent of wheat, for
those who think they cannot eat dark
breads.
Goldfish Souf1e
Freshen slightly one of the small
packages of shredded Goldfish and mix
with twice the quantity of lightly mashed
potatoes. Add no salt, but season with
paprika to taste and add one generous
tablespoonful of melted oleo. Mosten
