FAITH AND CURE.

Here is true story told to us by
trustworthy friends in a small Min
nesota town: A Syrian, Roman
Catholic family consisting of hus-
band, wife and child, lived next door
to a Jewish family in that town.
The little boy in the Syrian house
hold suddenly fell ill and was daily
growing worse. Doctors and drugs
apparently were of no avail. EARLY
one morning the child's mother
raped on her Jewish neighbor's
door and upon entering the house,
amid sobs, said: "My little boy is
very low this morning and is sinking
rapidly. There is only one hope left
us, and that is if you and your peo-
pie will pray in your synagog for
his recovery. will give five dollars
to your charities if you will do it."
The Jewish neighbor was accom-
modating. A "Minyan" immediately
gathered in the synagog, prayers
were offered up, and-the child re-
covered. The Syrian, Roman Catho-
lie family have to this day warm
spot in their hearts for the Jewish
people. And, yet some Jews and
Jewesses think they need Christian
Science for their imaginary ailments.

EDI ORIAL
THE OFFICE BOY in THE
EDITORIAL CHAIR.

We most heartily congratulate
our contemporary, The Hebrew
Standard of New York, on it's good
fortune in possessing an office boy
who at the same time attends to the
job of writing it's editorial para
graphs. We are sure that they are
the work of the office boy, for no
name of an editorial writer is given,
and Mr.. William j. Solomon, owner
and publisher, is probably too much
occupied with the advertising de-
partment of the publication to allow
himself any time for writing, al
though there may be another rea-
son for his editorial quiescence.
The chief qualification of an Of
fee boy, as we know, is his posses
sion of a liberal amount of gall,
nerve brass, or plain insolence, all
of which is so fittingly expressed by
the good old Hebrew word "chutz-
peh." That accounts for the follow
ing editorial paragraph in a recent
issue of the Hebrew Standard:
Gin a recent issue of The Ameri-
can Jewish World, of Minneapolis,
we came upon long editorial
screed, for which, presumably, the
editorial contributor, DR.. S. N.
Deinard, was responsible. It deals
with the Orthodox synagogue, and
approaches it's subject from the point
of view of outspoken Reform. The
quality of this discourse may be
best apprehended from the perusal
of the following characteristic ex-'
tract -therefrom: ITO say that
person can be truly religious and
spiritually minded only when he
subscribes and conforms to not only
to (sici) the essentials of religious
faith but also to all antiquated, out
worn and now meaningless customs
1 and practices just because the ignor-
ant and superstitious do not dis
terminate between these two ele-

ANTI-JEWISH CONSPIRACY IN
ENGLAND,

The Editor has entrusted me with
the task Of trying to sift to the bot
tom the various activities against the
Jews, which have been manifest in
England in recent months.
Certainly, without pre-judging the
results of my inquiry, they show
curious coincidence and relationship.
The following Incidents should be
noted, for example,
"a Sir Alfred Mond has to bring
an action for libel against two de-
PENDANTS who had publicly denounced
him as a traitor. The defence sought
to establish that a member of the
Jewish race could not be an English
man, and that membership of that race
meant membership of separate Jew
ish nation"

That Berlin Academic Circles should
be disturbed because Jewish scien-
fist was deprived of gold medal for
merit is unique. Not so long ago Ber-
line Academic Circles would have been
enraged should gold medal have
been awarded to scientist who is
Jew. The scientist in question is
Prof. Albert Einstein. The gold medal
in question was the award of an Eng.
lish scientific society. The professor
would not say that he was Dutch or
Swiss instead of German, and the
medal was withdrawn Much credit
is due to Dr. Einstein for standing by

credited by the world. 1t must be re-

ments of every orthodox religion, is
to libel both religion and the human
mind We need not waste our time
nor that Of our readers to refute SO
jejune an argument, for, in the same
paragraph from which this extract
is taken we find a sentence or two,
further, this: for Judaism
means more than religious faith and
ritual. 1t means Jewish loyalty to
the Jewish past, present and future.
This is the whole story"
You will note that the Office boy,
true to the character of his type,
does not condescend to argue and
reason. He is above it. He merely
inserts a (sic) in italics, calls our
argument jejune, and lets it go at
that. The intellectual caliber and
scholarly attachments of the Office
boy may be seen from another edi-
torial paragraph we clip from the
same issue:
"Purim is one of our greatest
holidays. Not in the same class,
perhaps, as the yomin noroim, it
nevertheless calls, too, upon the Jew
to renew his loyalty to his ideals and
traditions. Purim, then, is peren-
NAL reminder of the persistence OF
our race and faith despite all vicis-
STUDIES. In this spirit it's observ-
ance is commended to Jewish hearts
and souls"
Is not this a delicious bit of Jew
ish Science, of "Wissenschaft des
Judentums?" Purim is not in the
same class with the YOmin Noroim.
We do not blow the shofar on Purim,
do not fast, and do not ask for the
forgiveness of our sins. But it is
nevertheless one of our greatest
holidays. We masquerade, eat
Homentaschen, and are in duty
bound to indulge SO freely as to for
get the difference between Blessed
be Mordecai and cursed be Hannah"
We recommend the Office boy-editor
to the orthodox rabbinate of New
York for "semichah."
Still in taking up the cudgels, in
his own insolent manner, for Ortho-
doxy as against reform, the office
boy is carrying on the old tradition
of the Hebrew Standard which has
constituted itself the organ of what
Dr. e. G.. Hirsch has so aptly termed
seaside orthodoxy" which is ortho-
doxy in theory (never mind practice)
or orthodoxy by proxy, brand OF
orthodoxy prevalent on the Atlantic
seaboard. Seaside orthodoxy re-
) quires that. you always defend ortho-
doxy, that, it be kept inviolate on
paper, that it be. practiced by the
rabbi, the hazzan and the shammes,
but not necessarily by the busy
newspaper publisher or the tired
businessman. The quoted sally of
the office boy-editor against our
editorial screed" is in full accord
with the old policy of the Hebrew
Standard.

COMING AROUND.

j hLOOQNDs
The anti-Zionist reform rabbis are
gradually coming around to the
Zionist position. Even SO radical an
opponent as DR.. David. Philipson in
the last issue of the American
Israelite, writes: "The question of
Palestinian reconstruction is urgent.
Whatever may be the differing in
terpretations of the mission OF
Israel -. there can be no ques-
ton that Palestine does make pc
culiar appeal to all Jews.
Hence all Jews, whatever be the
complexion of their belief in this
matter = can and should unite
in. plans for the rehabilitation of
Palestinian institutions.
All this, however, is preceded by
a lengthy discussion of the miracle
of Israel's preservation and persist
ence. DR.. Philipson rightly says:
ITO my mind there is but one ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery. l see IN
the preservation of the Jew the domi-
ance of the purpose of God and the
triumph of spiritual forces over ma
terial." So far, so good. But since
God always works through some
human, or physical fundamentally
to accomplish His divine purposes;
since the Jew, therefore, could not
be entirely passive in the matter,
what power was there in the Jew
himself that co-operated with, or
served the divine will? The UNI
biased student and thinker knowss
only one answer: It was the Jews's
unwavering faith in, and undimmedi
hope for, his ultimate national
restoration and independence in the
land of his fathers, even as his
prophets had predicted and promised.
Without such faith and hope the
Jew could never have endured the
hostility of the world, and could
never have survived. This the OPP
ponents of Zionism ignore. DR..
Philipson again emphasizes the mis-
sion of Israel, which is universal
and spiritual" Do Zionists deny it?
But the question is: How can the
Jew best live up to his mission?
When did the Jew make his great
contribution, his distinctive contri-
button, to human culture? When
he lived his own national life in
Palestine. Has he made any such
contribution in the last 1900 years?
Has he in any way Influenced the
course of human progress besides
furnishing the world an ever-ready
whipping boy, an easily accessible
object on which to vent it's ferocity?
Individual Jews have displayed abil-
ity, talent and genius in many di-
rections, but their contributions
have always partaken of the char,
acter of the culture of other nations
They have not been original, native
to the soil and the soul of the Jew.
Under what conditions, then, can
and will the Jew once more manifest
the originality of his own genius,
and thus fulfill his mission? Zion
ism is the answer. DR.. David Philip
son is still unreconciled to it, but
he, like many of his colleagues, is
gradually coming around.
