United to Immortal Band.
Through Confirmation, | feel
that in the eyes of the public |
am united to that immortal band
who gave their all for Judaism,
and hope that their deeds may be
an inspiration to me all my life.
Before | am Confirmed | am
taught the laws of God that | may
distinguish right from wrong.
Confirmation helps me to protect
myself against the evil. Hosea
preached, "My people are de-
stroyed for lack of knowledge;
because thou hast rejected knowl-
edge, I will reject thee, that thou
hast forgotten the law Of thy
God, I also will forget thy chill
dren."
Confirmation without knowl-
edge is promising to do that
which | know not. Hence | try
to learn the commandments and
law thoroughly. All of this is
sylnbo1ized in the fact that Con-
frmation is held during Shah
uoth. For then Moses brought
the law down Sinai's slope to the
children of Israel and as they
promised, Gail that Thou Com
mandest we will do" so we like
wise promise on the day of Con-
frmation.
From the day of Confirmation
I am responsible FOX all my moral
acts and am acknowledged full
member of the congregation.
One has to think for oneself and
depend upon oneself. | am con-
scious that [ now am member
of religious nation, and the in
fuence of that for good is strong
upon my character. AS an &C
knowledged member of Israel [
would try to do nothing to bring
disgrace upon my people. |
would try to live up to my herit-
age.
For all of these reasons | wish
to be confirmed, as I consider it
both a blessing and duty. A
blessing that I can claim the spir-
itual peers of Israel as my own
and link my name to theirs that
the truths they proclaimed in ter
ror or sorrow I can claim in hap
piness and peace. A duty, in that
I feel the need of perpetuating
these truths, that the cause of
Israel needs opponents today as
perhaps never before, that I, a
descendant of long line of
prophets, teachers and martyrs,
may publicly acclaim that Juda-
ism is a living religion, worthy
of living for and, if need be, dy-
ing for. Therefore, on this sacred
day, in this sacred place, I de-
clare this sacred faith mine.

UNCLES IN AMERICA.
Continued from Page2)

(COnLlnueu from fagel)
the location department of the
Joint Distribution Committee is
called upon to help and the name
is advertised so that all who sec
may aid in the search.
Does the "uncle in America"
live up to expectation? Some
times. Sometimes the relative
hastens to send help, or to ar
range to have the child brought
to them, or to attempt to secure
further information. But many
and many time the letter is re-
ceived in silence and the cry
across the sea is hushed in the
easy comforts of American home
life. And many times more the
letter only causes deep pain, be-
cause the "uncle" is himself still
poor, and has many of his people
overseas to whom he must send
help; they must come in order of
their relationship, and if the lit
tie orphan is only a second
cousin, or nephew once re-
moved, what is one to do? So the
clerk, in the War Orphans Btu
reau writes mo help available"
on the child's record, and places
it in the adoption file, where, by
and by perhaps, it may be fnan-
cially adopted by someone in
America and cared for in this
way.
Many of the relatives live on
New York's East Side and so, as
an experiment, worker of the
Orphans Bureau determined to
visit some of those personally
and present the case of the chill
dren. Armed with the photo
graphs of the orphans, she
climbed steep stairways, felt her
way down dark Railways. In al
most every case she met poverty
and the constant struggle to exist
Yet the tour of inspection re-
vealed the fact that, among the
families visited, each family is
maintaining in Europe an average
of four persons, more or less re-
lated to them. These demands
draw upon them in a tragic way;
how can they find more money,
in order to help out this orphan.
One father of a family explained
that he is sending money to ten
distant relatives, all widows and
helpless except for this help.
And many of those visited
failed to recognize either the
name of the child or it's photo
graph-perhaps the child had
simply taken a chance, the only
chance it saw, to get help from
America.

WHAT CONFIRMATION
MEANS TO ME.
By Corinne McKelvey.

American Hebrew Contest.
| little realized what Con1rma-
ton really meant to me until |
started my preparation for it.
Brought up in a home where there
was little religion and where the
choice between Judaism and
Christianity was left to me, Con-
frmation has meant a great deal
more to me than to many Jewish
boys and girls.
The very word Confirmation
explains why this act means so
much, for I am definitely showing
the world which religion I en-
brace. The word Confirmation
comes from the verb, to confirm,
which means the act of bearing
witness to the truth of something
and strengthening it. Therefore,
the words "Jewish Confirmation"
means the act of bearing witness
to the truth of Judaism and
strengthening it by assuming it
with all it's duties.
The Jewish religion is the wor-
ship of one God Who is the Gre
ator, Father and Ruler Of the Uni
verse. To be Confirmed is to take
oaths and VOWS before the public
saying that you will obey all the
teachings of Judaism, the Ten
Commandments, the Law and the
Shema.
In preparing for Confirmation
I study the laws, the Shena and
the other teachings Of the ewish
faith. I learn the history of our
ancestors, from the foundation of
the race by Abraham, their suf-
fering in Egypt, their efforts un-
der the Judges and Kings for self
government, their continuous
struggle with the surrounding ma
tons to their final dispersion by
the Romans in 20 A. D.
I learn how the prophets, be-
ginning with Amos, taught "Hate
the evil and love the good, and
establish justice within thy,
gates" The main thoughts OF
Judah were centered not on po-
litical power but on religious de-
ve1opment, until it expressed the
tenderness of Jehovah through
the words of Hosea and the ten
der mercy of God not alone for
Israel but for the world in the
last Isaiah.
After the Biblical period | learn
of their expulsion from all the
principal powers of Europe, of
the terrible tortures which have
not stopped even today. The
Jews rose to magnihcence in
Spain, only to be hurled into the
horror of the Inquisition. Yet, in
spite of all this, clinging desper-
ate1y to the Faith Of their fore
fathers, they proclaim with their
dying breath, "Hear, O Israel, the

Senators Bar Border of
White ON Flag at Parley

Fyom Tho Trtbnne's Washington Bureuw
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. - Senator
Walsh. of Montana, found himself up
against stone wall to-day when he
sought to have passed in the Senate
his resolution requesting the President
to authorize United States delegates at
the Conference on Limitation Of Arma-
nent to display the United States flag
with white border to it. Both Sena-
tors Smoot and Watson, of Georgia, OBJ
jected vigorously, and in the end the
resolution was postponed Indefinitely
at Senator Walsh's request
When the chair laid the resolution
before the Senate Senator Smoot at
once announced his purpose to oppose
it and defeat it if possible. He said
he had received resolutions Of protest
from G.. A. r. organizations in large
numbers and from many women's
organizations.
Senator Walsh defended the resolu-
tion and insisted there was differ
ence between using the flag for ad-
vertising purposes and having the flag
bordered with white and displayed at
the peace conference.
Senator Smoot observed tire "Stars
and Stripes is a flag Of peace, an
emblem of peace"
