COUNTING DAYS AND MAX.
ING DAYS COUNT.

Every Jewish custom, OBJ
servance and practice, mechani-
cal and meaningless as it may
seem, has some spiritual signif-
canoe, and we may not, nor
should we abrogate any Jewish
custom merely on the ground
that it is meaningless to us.
The time may come, when, with
long study, deep thinking and
meditating, even the apparently
least significant Jewish practi-
ces, which seem out of date and
even unreasonable to us will be-
come meaningful and essential.
One of the apparently pecul.
lar customs in Jewish life is the
counting of s'pheeroh," OF
counting of the 0mer," the
formal act of counting the days
one by one during the period
between the second night OF
Passover and the Feast of
Weeks.
The Bible does not give us
any reason for this custom.
From the mystic point of view
it has assumed a very signifi-
cant meaning, known, however,
only to the chosen few.
But what spiritual signifi-
canoe can the average Jew de-
rive from this formal act of
counting the 0mer?"
We count s'peeroh" at night,
after We have finished the days
work, when our mind is at rest
from the daily grind, and if we
are imaginative and take the
trouble of self-contemplation at
times, the following thought
will come to us.
Yes, another day is gone; an
other period of time has elaps.

SECRETARY HUGHES AND
UNDESIRABLE IMMI-
GRANTS

the metropolitan dailies carried
a long news item to the effect
that Secretary Hughes had ask
ed a rigid ban on immigration.
The Recommendation was in a
statement which he is alleged to
have issued wherein he trans
mitted to Congress, official doc
uments on the immigration
question. The feeling against
immigrants was strong enough
and the fact that Mr.. Hughes
took sides against immigration,
Of course did not help those
who feel that there are circum-
stances which ought to be very
seriously considered before the
three percent law is passed.
In the statement attributed
to Mr.. Hughes, the following
comments were made, among
others:
"Our restriction on immigrav
ton should be so rigid" Mr..
Hughes's report said, "that it
would be impossible for most
of these people to enter the
United States" Particular ref
erence was made to undesirable
classes from Balkan cities, Ar
menia, Russia and Georgia.
The report said 666,299 pass
port vises were granted by Am.
erican Consuls in Europe for
the year 1920, reflecting a slim
ulated desire in most European
countries to emigrate to Ameri-
ca before anti-immigration laws
were passed. The principal re,
straining influence was said to
be lack of funds due to depre-
ciated currency values.
'The Director General of Po-
lice in Rumania," the report
adds, has issued an order excus-
ing all Jews from military ser.

charge from the army if they
desire to emigrate to America

We do not usually court such
thoughts, especially if we have
fallen short of the ideal because
such thoughts are likely to rev.
olutionize our lives. We do not
like to feel that we have fol-
lowed the wrong path. We
would prefer to remain blind to
the fact that we are heading for
an abyss, and following the line
of least resistance, we have a
good" time by killing" time.
But moments there are when
we feel life to be barren, con-
tentless. 1t is at such a period
when our monitor within us
bids us remember that we are
destined for higher things. For
some, the monitors voice is too
quiet because of the storm Of
passion raging in their hearts,
but for most of us a mere &C.
casional reminder is sufficient
to bethink ourselves and mend
our ways.

ulate that monitor within us
who will say to us, Another

We will be reminded of the
many opportunities that we
have lost to avoid the evil and
do good. A picture of what we
might have done and what we
actually accomplished will ap-
pear before our minds. We will
realize, perhaps that we spent
many of our years in travail or
in idleness. But we must not
linger at these sad thoughts.
Though we must have such
thoughts at times to arouse us
from our spiritual lethargy,
they should be only means tc
the end that we lead better
lives. If by such reflections, we
come to realize that We lost
many opportunities to do what
is right and noble, we should
bestir ourselves and try to make
the following days better than
those preceding.
The counting of the Omer"
counting of the days thought
fully teaches us the Importance
of time, the Importance of a
day.

are likely more and more to en-
igrate to the same haven.
''The great bulk Of emigrants
to the United States from this
district are highly undesirable
as material for future CITIZENS"
In making his recommends,
lions, Mr.. Hughes said: "Our
restriction on immigration
should be so rigid that it would
be impossible for most of these
people to enter the United
States. Reference is especially
made to Armenians, Jews, Per.
slams and Russians, all of which
have been so driven hither and
thither since 1914 that they
cannot be regarded as desirable
populations for any country"
We were not satisfied with
the report in the press. We
could not make ourselves be-
iieye that Secretary Hughes
would think of issuing a state
ment such as was attributed to
him, and we sent him the fol-
lowing telegram:
