A WISE MAGISTRATE

The New York Evening Telegram
recently published the following:
Magistrate Conway in the Ridge
wood (Queens) Court declared there
is only one Sabbath, according to the
laws of this country, when he held
Samuel Cohen, a Jewish baker, in
$500 bail for Special Sessions. The
baker was charged with having vio-
lated the Sabbath law in selling rolls
last Sunday in his store, No. 1884
Fresh Pond road, Glendale.
And where has this jurist learned
that the United States has a Sab
bath? We have always maintained
that the United States has no right
whatsoever to make any Claw respect
ing the establishment Of religion"
hence may not establish any Sabbath
which is a religious rest day. How
ever, if the magistrate ruled other
wise, may not one doubt his learning?
To His Honor it is the legislature
that enacts Religious Sabbath for
the purpose of supporting the Sab
bath instituted by Constantine and
accepted by the Christian church to
please that Sun-worshiper, as the
name Sunday proves. The ruling of
this magistrate shows that even bread
can not be sold by Jew on the
Pagan holiday-Sunday.
This is another proof of our pro-
crossing backwards. It reminds us
of a story told long ago of a Russian
Jew who after being fined by Rus
sian magistrate for calling half
witted Russian, fool, asked the magis-
trate: "Your Honor, is there no fine
for calling fool a wise MANI" When
His Honor answered that there was
no punishment for such an act, the
Jew backed out Of the Court with:
"Thank you, wise magistrate. Jew
ish Tribune.

convertible did not even have the
heart to attempt the conversion of any
Jew, so utterly did he detest the de-
ceit and hypocrisy of inveigling the
Jew into Christianity. The story he
has to tell is sad but wholesome. 1t
shows convincingly, not only the fail
ure of Christian missions to the Jews,
but also the folly and utter stupidity
of those who allow themselves to be
fleeced and exploited by unprincipled
and deceitful converts who pretend to
be imbued with the teachings of the
new faith. It exposes the rascality
of Jewish converts to Christianity
who pose as Christian saints in order
to get themselves into the possession
of Christian shekels.
In reading Mr.. Freuder's simple and
sincere story, one cannot help sympa-
thizing with him. One can readily
picture the tear-stained face and
share the feelings and emotions of
the sorrowful, bleeding heart Of the
man who so unreservedly proclaims
his "peccavi." From every page of
the book there seems to come the
voice of the returned missionary re-
pentently, penitently, but vainly
shouting: "Out, damned spot!"

MISTAKES THAT CANNOT BE
MENDEn

Mistakes are often made and mend
ed. Our imperfections and limita-
tons make error inevitable. But
there are mistakes which can never
be mended. There are errors whose
correction seems to lie beyond the
range of human power. Murder, for
instance, is one of the errors which
cannot be corrected. When a human
life is willfully destroyed it can never
be restored. And not only the de-
struction of ones physical life, but
also the destruction of ones spiritual
life entails mistake that can hardly
ever be mended. Not only drops of
blood, but also drops of water can
make spot that will defy lavation.
10 appreciate fully the truth of
our assertion, we should like to rec
omnend to our weak brothers who are
coquetting with Christianity recent
book which appeared under the title:
"A Missionary's Return to Judaism"
The author of the book is Samuel
Freuder, who had at one time been a
rabbi and, after he had met with fail
ure in the Jewish pulpit, became a
convert to Christianity. For seven
teen years he then led a life of rank
hypocrisy and narrowing wretched-
ness as a missionary. About twelve
years ago, however, he felt that he
could stand the plaguing Of his own
conscience no longer, and so he gave
up his false life and returned to Juda-
ism, preferring the hardships and
struggles which he has ever since had
to endure as sincere Jew to the ease
and comfort he might have enjoyed
as deceiving Christian.
Mr.. Freuder's book gives a graphic
and vivid description of his blasted
life. It, contains pathetic tale, in
deed. Frankly and without reserve
does the author portray his own emo
lions and experiences. Without spar
ing himself does he pour out his very
soul before his readers. He blames
no one but himself for his misstep
and for his misdeed. He does not try
to justify nor even to excuse his mo-
tives. He truthfully admits the dis
honesty and deceitfulness that led to
his conversion and honestly confesses
the guilt of having led life of falsi-
ty and hypocrisy. In the seventeen
years of his missionary activity he
did not succeed in gaining one Jewish

instances of cannibalism, so that one
can imagine to what straits the suf-
ferers are reduced. AS the men are
supposed to be stronger than the
women, if brute force ever asserted
itself, one would expect it to be mani
fest when man is faced by starva-
ton. And yet, these Jewish husbands
were willing to die, if only to save
their wives and children.
Where can one find a finer tribute
to the Jewish husband and father?

THE BOYS CAMP-WHY NOT A
PERMANENT SITE?

Inc SECOND season Oh Cno d nal
Birth Boys Camp has just closed,
after eight weeks usefully and de-
lightfully spent, bringing recreation,
health and vim to about one hundred
and fifty boys. The camp could have
accommodated a larger number or
the same number could have been
kept longer, if there were more funds
available. On analysing the expendi-
lures we note one item, RENTAL OF
SITE, which represents almost one
sixth of the total budget. There is
only one (honorable) way to avoid
paying rent. Why should not
permanent camp-site be purchased?
Is there not some individual, or some
organization that can sponsor the
Boys camp idea to the extent of
purchasing permanent site for the
camp? The saving in the rent alone
would make such step worth while.
But there are other factors in
volved. The camp movement seems
to be gaining momentum. Educators,
including those interested in Jewish
studies have been giving the matter
serious thought The long summer
vacation has been accepted as nee
essary evil. It is too hot to continue
CHe usual courses III Cne Guy, ana So
education for juveniles is suspended.
But if it were possible for Talmud
Torah or Religious School to transfer
it's "plant," teachers, pupils and all,
to the country or the lake side, teach
ing would not have to be discontinued;
the few hours of instruction daily
could be Incorporated into the pro-
gram of sports, exercise, and super
vised play. The children would turn
to their Jewish studies with the same
interest they show in any other items
of the camp program, and two pre-
cious months would be gained in the
all too short period of juvenile Jew
ish instruction.
1t may take some time for the idea
to gain popularity, or for all the de-
tails to be worked out. But the Sc
curing by some Jewish organization
or through the iberality of some in
dividual of permanent, adequate
camp-site would be the first step Of
what might develop into an important
and comprehensive plan of education,
social-service and recreation.
Who will take the initiative in Sc
curing permanent camp site?
