LIFE OF WOMAN EXAMPLE
OF SUPREME SACRIFICE

Mr.. Oldrieve, organizing secre-
tary to the Mission for Lepers in
India, arrived in London, after a
three years tour, during which
he travelled 10000 miles. visiting
all the leper stations in India. He
pays great tribute to the self-sac-
rificing work of Mary Reed, an
American woman who is a mission.
ary in Chandag, India.
She is one of the loneliest. yet
one of the most noble, white women
in the world" says Mr. Oldrieve. Il
visited Mary Reed, who is herself a
victim of the malady, in October
last. and am pleased to say she is
still able to carry on her spiritual
work among the afflicted won
derful life of devotion in a remote
spot in the Himalayas, which she
has now carried on for thirty years.
Alone among the lepers, Mary
Reed seldom sees white people. She
has her little church in the noun.

above sea level"
Mr.. Oldrieve and his wife took
five days to travel from the nearest
civilized point to this remote spot.

in the mountains built by the gov

in these out-of-way parts. Chandag
is about thirty miles from the Tibet
country.
After five days journey, wait
ing for us at the end of an avenue of
pine trees, we saw Mary Reed. We

quake and is now an old ruin. There
are fOrty-six women lepers in the
community in which Miss Reed lives
and up in these lonely heights she

nected with the leper asylum"
These unfortunate people call Misc
Reed their Dear Mother" in such
affection is she held. There are 19I
!epers and these also are under Miss
Reeds care and guidance.
Mr.. Oldrieve said there were now
over 100000 lepers in India and the
work of the mission is increasing
rapidly, but great help is forthcom-
ing from provincial governments
and Lady Chelmsford. A remark
able advance has been made on the
medical side of the problem.
AT present" he declares "it is
not right to say that any cure has
been found, but research work and
the system of treatment of Sir Leon
ard Rogers is extremely hopeful and
in a few months much more might
have to be made public upon this
subject.
In my tours of the asylums 7

success than ever before"

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

held in the City Of Brotherly Love
under the auspices of a number of
Protestant denominations, and was
addressed by such men as Judge Buff
fington of the United States Circuit
Court, and former Senator Beverage
of Indiana, advocating the idea of re-
ligious instruction after the regular
school hours, to be conducted by the
different denominations either on
their church premises or in the pub
lie school buildings. In Minneapolis
the Protestant clergy are engaged In
the working out of another plan,
namely, of allowing all school chill
dren, whose parents so desire, one
hour a day from the regular school
time to be devoted to religious in
struction in their respective church
buildings.
We believe that sooner or later
some such plan will be adopted. We
should rather not have such instruc-
ton given in the public school build
ings. The larger churches and syna-
gogs of the city have the necessary
facilities and accommodations for
such work. If they have not, they
should provide them. We Jews should
be heartily in favor Of the plan under
consideration by the Minneapolis
clergy. A sufficient number of COM
petent teachers should be enrolled to
take care of all our children, and
every synagogue and religious school
building should be utilized to it's full
capacity. Such work is far more i'm
portant than the many new-fangled
things that are being promoted now
adays in the name of social uplift
and at the expense of the commun-
ity.

THE ZIONIST SITUATION.

To many it will come as distinct
disappointment that on the eve OF
the Passover, when Jews have their
ears attuned to harmony and are
eager for happy tidings, word should
be sent broadcast that temporarily
there is a deadlock in negotiations
between the American and European
leaders of Zionism, and even worse,
that the long threatened break be-
tween them has at last. come.
At this distance we cannot tell who
is most at fault In fact it interests
us little on whom the blame is to be
placed. The important fact is that
the coming Of the great Zionist lead
ers from abroad, whose arrival was
greeted with such eclat, and from
whose advent so much had been
awaited by all friends Of Palestine,
has for the present resulted in at
least temporary disruption and in
failure to come together.
Thus far we have not seen any
statement setting forth the position
of the European leaders so we
cannot speak fully of the merits
or fallacies of their attitude. We are
in receipt of telegraphic statement
from Judge Julian w. Mack, head of

HEBREW PHOTOGRAPHY.

A valuable contribution to Hebrew
photography has been made by Mr..
E. Deinard, the noted Hebrew book
collector and photographer, in vol
ume recently published by him in He
brew under the name of "Atikoth
Yehudah"- "Rarities Of Hebrew Lit
erature" In this volume he lists all
Hebrew books printed since 1910 of
which only one or two copies are ex-
tant. There are some among them
which are not mentioned in any other
catalog, not even those of the Bodleian
Library of Oxford and Of the British
Museum, in both of which the largest
collections of Hebrew books are
stored. Mr.. E. Deinard in the course
of his travels has had unusual oppor-
tunities Of bringing to light some of
the rarest and most valuable finds in
Hebrew literature, including manu-
scripts and incunabula. The present
volume is to be followed by another
containing a list of all rare books
printed prior to 1910.

EDl TOR lAL
PASSOVER.

Never has historic memory heart
ened and inspired people with hope
and confidence as has the memory of
the First Redemption, which Passover
celebrates, heartened and inspired the
Jewish people. Being placed not only
at the beginning of IsraePs national
career but also as the cornerstone of
his theology, religion and legislation,
the Exodus occupies the chief place in
the sphere of Jewish thought, the
center from which light and hope rad
late in every direction. The God
whom Israel trusts is the God of the
Exodus. 81 am the Lord thy God who
has brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage"
And the far off event visioned by the
seers as the culminative point OF
Israel's and humanity's toilsome
march thru the ages, is to be another
redemption like that of the. Exodus.
CAS- in the days of thy going forth out
of Egypt, will 1 show unto him mar
velous things"
Thus to the Jew, God is the world
spirit of freedom, Israel's and human
ity's progress thru the ages is from
bondage to freedom and ever greater
freedom.
In the darkest night of his exile,
Israel looked back at his marvellous
birth in freedom, absorbed himself in
the contemplation and the worship OF
the God of freedom, and hoped anew
for his and humanity's speedy rebirth
in freedom. Shall not in this twi-
light hour of the worlds history our
Passover celebration once more re-
kindle the light of hope and trust in
us for a better day, a freer day to
come?

THE CONFERENCE OF RABBITS

BY the time this reaches our read
ers the convention Of the Central
Conference of American Rabbits at
Washington, D. c., will be in full
swing. Having as yet received no
press reports, we are not in a posi-
ton to make any comment on its de-
alterations and mplishments.
Surely there must have been some
special reason for holding the con-
vention at the time and place chosen.
Whatever the reason may have been,
we hope that the objects aimed at
will be attained.
The presence of so many of the
spiritual leaders of American Juda-
ism should make some impression on
our public men in Washington. We
venture to say that no more Gull
tured, refined and enlightened set of
religious teachers and leaders can be
mustered by any other religious body.
The open discussions carried on by
them cannot but convince our Chris
tan neighbors that Jews have no
interests that are not in perfect &C.
cord with the highest ideals OF
Americanism. sar,

SUNDAY
SCHOOLS
GENT.

That the one hour a week Sunday
School session for the religious IN
struction of our youth is totally IN
adequate and results in widespread
and profound ignorance of matters
religious on the part of the rising
generation, is becoming more and
more evident to all who are inter-
ested in religious education and Gull
ture. Our Christian neighbors are so
thoroughly impressed with this fact,
that in many cities concerted action
is being taken by many denominations
to devise ways and means of sup
plementing the Sunday School with
one hours daily instruction under the
same auspices and conditions as the
Sunday School work is done.

date for, Palestine has added another
and most serious diplomatic problem
to the already overwhelming strain
she is laboring under? There is her
promise of the Jewish Homeland"
that the nationalistically feeling Jews
never will or can forget; there are the
native Arabs who cling to Palestine
as their present and actual homeland;
and there is the Christian church that
claims Palestine as it's spiritual home

these conflicting claims surely re-

It is the same with regard to India.
India is the jewel in the crown of
Britain's Empire, a jewel in it's real
material, pecuniary sense, yet, how
troublesome she is finding it now to
hold on to this precious possession.
For the Hindoos, too, are awake to
the fact that only recently a great
world war has been fought, much
precious blood has been split, and
other empires have been tumbled into
the dust for the preservation of the
principles of democracy and interna-
tional justice, for the self-determina-
ton of national and racial groups.
And the Hindoos wish to know
whether these high-sounding princi-
pies are or are not to be applied to
them; and if not, why not?
India has teeming population, not
at all to be compared with that of
Ireland. There are at least fifty
Hindoos for every Irishman Nor
is India at the door of England as Ire
land is. A widespread and exasper-
ated rebellion in India would make
that of Ireland mere child's play. This
England is determined to prevent.

benignly, but withal firmly. And for

England makes tacit admission that

from WHICH we queue.
81 regret deeply to be compelled to
make the following statement. DR..
Weizmann abruptly terminated nego-
tiations which l have had with him
and his associates for the past two
weeks in the hope of reaching COM
mon ground on the basis Of the un-
animous resolution of the Buffalo
convention for the establishment IN
the United States Of the Keren
Hayesod, as a donation fund only to
be used exclusively in Palestine and
under adequate safeguards as would
secure it's expenditure. When DR..
Weizmann finally and expressly as
scented that Keren Hayesod should
in the United States be exclusively
donation fund, felt assured that eff
forts for peace and united action had
been successful. Suggestions thereto
fore made in course of our confer
ences were drafted during the night
by representatives appointed by DR..
Weizmann and myself. Draft was
submitted to each of us. 1t embod-
led points stated below. While draft
was under consideration DR.. Weiz-
mann advised me that he absolutely
rejected it, and without further state
ment or conference issued proclama-
ton establishing Independent of
Zionist Organization of America,
Keren Hayesod Bureau, United
States. Officers of Zionist Organ
ization of America are not parties to-
this proclamation. They had not
been asked to sign it, and they could
not have become parties thereto be-
cause it completely fails to limit fund
as agreed, to donation fund, or en-
body therein any safeguards with re-
gard to expenditures, conditions in
dispensable precedent to our co-opera-
ton in solicitation of these funds. A
full statement of negotiations will be
promptly made and will be accom-
panied by plans Zionist Organization
America for initiating Palestine
Donation Fund pursuant to resolution
Of Buffalo convention and your exc
cutive committee. In campaign for
this fund we shall count upon imme-
diate and continuous cooperation of
all loyal Zionists and of all American
Jews. lSigned) Julian w. Mack, Pres,
z. O. A."
We can readily see the difficulty of
both the American and European
Zionist leaders. Both consider them
selves bound by the action of their
organization. DR.. Weizmann and his
associates claim they are not able to
bargain with the American Organiza-
ton as to the method Of raising or
safeguarding the expenditure Of
funds. That had been defined by the
London Conference, of which the
American organization is consti-
tuent part and at which American
Zionists were represented. Judge
Mack claims that he is bound by the
decisions of the Buffalo Convention,
which was subsequent to the London
Conference, and since the bulk of the
Keren Hayesod is to be raised in
America, American Zionists cannot
be denied the right to say how the
funds shall be raised and used, mere
ly on technicality that the London
conference is supreme. ....
The trouble in fact lies in the aues-
ton of money. From what we have
been able to gather from the writings
and conversations of those. who at
tended the London Conference, it was
felt by the European Zionists that

ANOTHER BIG HOG
SALE IN THE PANHANDLE

Another evidence of this part of
the country being good for the rails
ing of thoroughbred hogs was the
recent sale of W. H. jenkins of
Gray, Oklahoma, about thirty miles
south of Liberal, in the Oklahoma
Panhandle.
Mr.. Jenkins raises the Big Type
Poland Chinas, and he is having ex-
ceptional good success in his en-
deavor. He informs us that he has
been raising hogs in that vicinity for
several years, and that each year he
is increasing his herd and building
up all the time.
He says that his recent sale was
not in any respect "quit business"
sale, merely selling off part of the
surplus stock, and that he still has
about eighty head of thoroughbreds
left, and will have another sale in
the spring that will beat the one just
held.
Mr. Jenkins started raising hogs
in conjunction with his farming, but
now he is paying more attention to
the hog end of his business. He has
found that there is nothing on the
farm which will pay quicker or larger
net returns than hogs. He has
also found that we are in a real hog
country, as he has never yet seen a
symptom of hog cholera or swine
disease; and the climate is as good
as any place he knows of for stock.
The total returns of the Jenkins
sale was $2,065.00. His bred gifts
averaged $500 each. Six gifts
from one famous herd SOW brought
$427.50. Another litter from one of
the good sows brought $36750, and
eleven daughters and one grand
daughter of one herd sow brought
the large sum of $835.00.
Now, farmers, think! How much
maize or kafir will bring that amount
of money, and will make the profit?
That is the question that Mr.. jenkins
has solved to his own satisfaction.
In all, the sale was very success
full. While he did not sell large
of hogs, in the sale next
spring he intends to have large
up, and he is sure to have a
sale that will attract much attention
in the world of hog raisrs.
