regarding entirely the contribution to
the social conception of religion made
by Judaism.
Dr. Fox effectively disposes of
these misrepresentation of Judaism
and proves conclusively that the social
ideas on which Christianity, without
actually realizing any of them, prides
itself is but an extension and Develop
ment Of the precepts enjoined by the
great Jewish prophets and sages.
Quoting extensively from various Jew
lsh authoritive sources, he shows how
the modern ideas Of Brotherhood of
Man, Social Justice. Individual Right
BUSINESS, Charity, Peace, ETC., can be
traced directly to the teachings Of Ju-
daism But while correcting the err
rors of popular conceptions Of Judaism
among the Gentiles, DR.. Fox does not
fail TO give due consideration and
credit to Christ as man, reformer and
teacher and to state with stimulating
frankness and clearness the attitude
Of progressive Jews toward Jesus

JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND
THE MODERN SOCIAL IDEALS

BY G. George Fox, Published by The
Monitor Publishing Company,
Fort Worth, Texas.
To direct the attention of serious
minded students Of religion to the fact
that Christianity with its evolution of
social ideals and social ministration
is but belated reversion to the fund
amental principles of its mother re-
ligion-Judaism, is the aim Of the
book under the above title brilliantly
accomplished by its author, DR.. G.
George Fox, rabbi Of Temple BETHEL,
Fort Worth, Texas.
While "to the making Of books there
is no end" very few Of those made
have for their thesis the critical study
Of a prevalent creed, the searching
analysis Of its historic sources and
the fearless REPUTATION Of its widely
propogated misconceptions-all Of
which forms the subject matter Of DR..
Fox's treatise, Though chiefly argu-
mentative, the book is by no means
polemical in its nature and is written
in style which clearly shows that
the author is not interested in prose-
lytizing and gaining souls. II is a dis

was proved to my satisfaction that
en- the 10th the Bolsheviks ordered
all their soldiers to leave their bllets
ard return to barracks. This they
refused to do, and when the Polish
troops entered the town, the7 shot
at them from the windows Of the
houses. This was in the poorer Jew
ish quarter, because most of the best
houses were taken possession of by
officers, leaving the less desirable
Eoues to be occupied by their men.
Consequently, when the Polish troops
eventually entered the town on the
morning of the 18th they attacked
the Jewish quarter, killing on the
two days, the 10th and the 18th,
thirty five Jews. The case of the
man Poukoff and his son, who were
first robbed of 100000 roubles and
then taken out into the street and
shot without trial, was a particularly
bad case. In fact, the bulk of the
people killed were either murdered
in their houses or shot outside them.
On the 10th only there was court
martial, when six Jews and two
Christians were sentenced to be shot
On the 18th 200 Jews were arrested
in the Jewish quarter, but were re.
leased without any trial after five
days. The Rabbi of the place, Rabbi
Rabbinovitch, was arrested, robbed
and beaten, together with many 9TH
err Jews. On the 18th a body of a
soldier was found mutilated, and the
Jews were accused of having MUIR
dered him; this caused great excite
ment in the town. 1t was said that
a Catholic priest interviewed and
asked in church that anyone who
knew anything of the case should in
form him. Later the excitement died
down, and the rumor was spread that
the priest had interfered to say that
the murderer was not a Jew. The
priest referred to had left Ida, and
| was unable to obtain confirmation
Of this story, but believe it to be
true.
wilma was taken from the Bolshe-
viks on the 10th of April, 1919, by
Polish troops. The rumor was spread
that the Jews had shot at the Polish
soldiers, whereupon soldiers and ci-
villains commenced a massacre and
robbery Of the Jews which lasted
three days. Fifty-five Jews were
killed, including two well-known au-
thors, NJ. NJ. Weiter and Ivianski, a
large number were wounded and
1000 arrested as sympathizers with
the Bolsheviks.

walked out of the line too. All those
remaining at the wall were given
time to say their last words. A
teacher chanted the last Jewish pray
ers for the dying, and the others re-
peated them after him. They were
then shot dead. The survivors were
told their time would come on the
morrow, and that they would be
hanged. From the wall they were
led to the prison. The women were
in separate room. The Polish
guard treated them very badly, but
the Governor of the prison treated
them kindly. A gendarme came lat
er and they were all led to a room,
stripped naked, revolvers put to their
heads, and flogged. They were then
turned out of the room, naked, with
their clothes in their hands, into a
corridor full of soldiers, who kicked
and struck them. They were then
sent into another room, where they
dressed and were allowed to 60 free.
M. Abrahamovitch gave evidence
that he heard noise, was frightened
and hid in the roof of the synagogue
on the other side of the market
place. At a quarter to 9 in the eve
ming of Saturday he heard firing and
groans that lasted all night, and SOL
diers laughing. One of the men, Pal
atzny, was shot and only slightly
wounded. At $50 on the morning
Of April 6 he got up and ran away.
He was observed by the soldiers and
shot dead.

Seventeen American relief workers,

tcrrors Of a Turkish seige in order

Of life among the stricken Armenians
Such is the story brought to Near
East Relief Headquarters here by
George W. Patterson, of Randolph, VT,
who before his departure from the
beseiged territory, conveyed 1900 or
phans from the balcaguered city to
Cyprus. Mr.. Patterson's statement is
confirmed by recent cables from the
stricken area announcing that a state
of virtual famine exists in Adana. The
last message received here from the be-
seiged city says the workers are all
safe though the city is closely beset by
the Turks and communications pos
sible only by airplane.
The New York women among the re-
lief workers, for whose welfare great
concern is felt here, are Miss Doris

the marriage rites are to be observed.
After the elders had announced the
foregoing, Mary Costello, twelve years
old, one of the brides-elect, came along
and said that the ceremony then in
progress was really the marriage. The
whole transaction was being sealed
right then and there, according to Miss
Costello.
The festival was directed by Mitchell,
who is .sixty-two years old, and says
