work of the Relief Committee among
orphans and who recently returned
from the affected districts, gave some
personal experiences. The impossi-
bility Of reaching all the Jewish or
phans is apparent, there being 100000
of these helpless little ones, some of
whom have never known anything but
hunger. Of the $14,0OO,OOO budget,
the sum of $4,O00,O00 is to be set
aside for child feeding and medical
care of these little ones and their
mothers. The sum devoted to the
purpose is necessarily dependent upon
the raising of the total budget of $14,-
100000. At that, according to Miss
Bogen, this sum is sufficient only to
take care of a maximum of $4,000
orphans.
Mr.. Schanfeld stressed the import
ance of raising this money at this
time; first, for the reason that the
Committee has been obliged to reduce
its operations in some sections due to
lack of funds; second, that the sole
hope of these sufferers rests in Amer
lea; third, that $47, 100000 has thus
far been spent by the committee in
saving the lives of these sufferers.
Mr.. Schanfeld, who is also chairman
of the Minneapolis committee, assured
those present that in spite of the fact
that Minneapolis has already contrib
uted $4,000, for relief until last year,
the $4,000 quota assigned to this
city will be subscribed. He was en-
Enthusiastically backed up by every per-
son present, and no less than ten men
pledged themselves to devote their
entire time to the campaign starting
this week.

Stirring Conferences Held

Stirring Conferences Held
Sunday, February 10Th, has been set
as the opening day of the campaign
in Minnesota for the Jewish Relief
committee for War Sufferers. Mime
sofa has been asked to raise $25O,O00
as her share of the national fund of
$14 100000. Mr.. Joseph H. Schan-
field of Minneapolis, already we'll
known for his previous service in this
work, has been selected as state chair
man, the other officers being: I. S.
Joseph, Minneapolis, Louis R. Frankel,
ST. Paul, and H. Y. Frankel, Duluth,
vice-chairmen; Irving H. Robitshek,
Minneapolis, secretary, and I. H. Ru-
ben, Minneapolis, treasurer.
At a meeting Monday evening at
the Radisson attended by seventy-five
representative Jewish citizens of Min
neapolis and st. Paul, Mr.. Louis Re-
gensburg, vice chairman for this dis
trict, called upon those present to
rally to Mr.. Schanfeld's support. Mr..
Regensburg is one of group of prom
inent business men of Chicago, in
Guiding julius Rosenwald, who have
devoted practically their entire time
to this work since December LIST. In
fact, Mr.. Regensburg is one of the
men responsible for the magnificent
sum of $1,83O,OOO raised in the city
of Chicago toward the national fund.
Another speaker at the meeting was
Max M. Korshak, a prominent Chi
cago attorney, who spoke feelingly of
the situation of the Jews of Poland
and the Ukraine. His description of
the horrors attending the pogroms
which have cost the lives of one quar-
ter of a million Jews, was almost be-
yond belief. 1t seems inconceivable
that such wholesale destruction of
lives could have been accomplished in
what we call the civilized age. He
told of the rage of the soldiers who
without pity bayonetted babies after
having snatched them from the arms
Of their mothers. "tn time," he said,
I'VE will come to recognize that the
tragedies of the Jews of Poland and
The Ukraine is one of the most terri

plays the prophet Isaiah address
ing the people; but as he pours
out upon them the lava of his
volcanic spirit, they nudge each
other sneeringly and say: "Und
das lebt Won unserm geldp (To
think that this creature lives off
Our moneyD This jibe certainly
applies to the relation of laity and
clergy in American Judaism. Jew
ish leadership in America is in
the hands of the wealthy laity;
but this lay leadership is worldly
in character, with no other aim
and purpose than to conduct Ju-
daism as private eleemosynary
institution. These rich leaders,
indeed, are not wholly to blame;
they simply lack the religious Wis
ion to recognize the Jewish prob
lem as chiefly spiritual; to feel
any CONSERVATION of the gradual
attrition of all original Jewish
values; and so, in their kind
heartedness, they turn to philan-
thropy and social service, as a
sort of outlet for their better I'M
pulses; really, as the highest pos
sible expression of an ingrowing
materialism.
Wealth being it's one necessary
qualification, lay leadership
based on lucre would seem to be
self-perpetuating. AS matter of
fact, however, philanthropic Juda-
ism is in it's last throes. It is
doomed, not only by it's inherent
quality of snowy worldliness,
but because it is inadequate to
cope with the Jewish problem.
One does not have to read the
will of the late Jacob H. Schiff,
it's greatest and noblest represent
tative, who personifed the best
there was in it's ideals, to know
that philanthropic Judaism is all
but dead. Yet to many it had
seemed that philanthropic Juda-
ism was the last refuge of spir-
itually bankrupt people.
Turning, then, from the exter-
nal relations of the Jews with the
world to his intimate life, one is
bound to observe that, great as
is the tragedy of the Jew, greater
still is the tragedy of Judaism.
What greater tragedy than the
life Of people that has lost it's
God? The greater tragedy is the
Fate of religion that has been
the suffering mother of religions,
pierced by more than seven
wounds, forsaken by her own.
But when we search for the cause
# this tragedy, this martrydom
# a living spirit, we find it to be
he same that underlies other
phenomena of Jewish maladjust-
nent already referred to-hybrid-

Talmudical Judaism has broken
down-it seems, irrevocably. The
old ceremonial law is honored
honored more in the breach than
in the observance. The dietary
laws linger, apparently as an oc-
casion for periodical meat riots
and an excuse for prohteering.
The Saturday Sabbath is all but
gone; even in thickly populated
Jewish sections there is open sell
ing and buying on the Seventh
Day, although both merchants
and customers are Jews. Recent
ly, when wealthy uptown con-
gregation sold its synagogue to
Seventh Day Adventists, malic-
ious tongues remarked that for
the first time in the history of
this temple" it's congregants
would be Sabbath-observers.
Add to all this that the old
training based on rabbinics is
gone, but no new culture has yet
taken it's place. A generation ago,
Hebrew learning was wide
spread nowadays, J ewish parents
refuse to have their children
taught in the sacred tongue of the
Prophets, for they regard it as
old-fashioned. What, then, is
left? A lifeless Journalism that no
one takes very seriously; here and
there pathetic bit of folklore in
connection with death-or mar
rage customs a little ostenta-
tious charity; all of this scarcely
relieved by the annual visit to the
synagogue on the Day of Atone
ment. 1t is as if the spirit had
long fled the husk. The old words
fail to move. The old ideals fail
to thrill. And there is no new

if you only analyze it.
Now this wonder Woman"
wrongly believes she can cure
only those who believe in Christ
but we assert she can help the
Mohammedan, the Hindoo, the
Jew, or persons Of any faith who
will have faith in her healing
power and attune themselves to
her. 1t stands to reason she cam
not make hand grow nor give
back a limb which has been am
putated. Nor can she restore an
organ, the cells of which have
been destroyed.
To what extent religion is
necessary to bring about mirac-
ulous cures is another interest
ing phase of f al t h healing.
Religion itself only plays a
secondary part but it is the only
magnet that holds the lure of
higher life to the masses. 1t is
the only conduit thru which the
divine power of the healer flows
to stimulate the mental centers
which must be aroused to direct
the required energy to the seat
of affection. This is the principle
which is applied by the Christian
Scientists.
Fear is the first sign of higher
mental development. 1t is one
of the outstanding distinctions
between human and other animal
life. Religion is a product of
fear. The primitive conception
of religion was the result of fear
of death.
The lower orders of life know
no fear. Great upheavels of
nature hold no terror for them
because they do not know what
death is. Their instinct leads
them to shelter when storm
threatens. For them, danger
does not exist. They are as I'M
conscious of it as we are of many
forces of nature around us.
Some of the higher animals
have developed the senses of
smell and hearing to a finer de-
gree than has man. They dis
cover danger much quicker than
humans who, except under ex-
ceptional circumstances, such as
blindness are not so keen cared.
Now, we know the higher
animals do fear and as we declare
fear is the starting point of
religion, it is natural to inquire
why these animals have no
religion. 1t is because they lack
the most essential human at
tribute-conception of Death.
Death is the great force for
the development of life itself.
Without death there could be no
life. 1t compels the development
of morality.

stand, it is a power which may
be acquired by thousands of 9TH
ers who> may be willing to
attune themselvessto that same
harmony which radiates from
her. All humans must possess
degree of this power for their
own self preservation. But only
few have focused it to the point
where its effects may be felt. 1t
is like the old burning" glass.
Indifferently held, it gives only
warm glow, but correctly TO-
cused, it burns.
The question has been asked,
"why is it that these faith heal
ers so seldom are found in the
higher educated or scientific
classes?" The answer is simple.
To the lowly or the average per-
son this power is the sole and
only ray of light piercing the
darkness. To the highly edu-
Gated it is but one of a halo of
lights.
1t is only the simple minded
that can concentrate into small
focus. Ignorance will strike I'M
mindful of the results. The edu-
Gated will always be fearful of
the harmful effect produced by
the power they may exercise.
They know the good and the
bad.
Man can only conceive of god
as great as his mentality per-
mits. There exists no quarrel
between modern science and
religion. The scientist rec
ognizes the Bible God which
is nature, universe, the infinite.
1t has no end and it has
no beginning. 1t is all powerful:
The god of the savage neces-
sarily is circumscribed in small
space. He is mentally unable
to understand the god of modern
science. 1t was Moses who said
no human can see God and live.
We can't see God today. There
isn't a human mind big enough.
And man today is a greater god
than the god of primitive people.
This is not sacreligious. 1t is
rather credit to religion which
has stimulated progress and
spurred the race on to higher
achievement and greater civil
ization.
But getting back to Mrs. Nc
Pherson's so-called healing, it
should not be forgotten that
crowds play an important part
in the psychology of faith cures.
Any actor will tell you he cannot
act a part unless he has an audi
ence. Many of these cures"
would fail without themagnetism
and nervous tension which are
provided by an interested and
demonstrative audience. AS an
instance of crowd magnetism,
take the seances where the con-
centrated nervous energy, with
out muscular assistance, lifts a
table from the floor merely thru
laying on of hands.
The same force, the same en-
ergy, is manifested in the one as
in the other.
In this discussion, it is not the
purpose of the writer to put
Mrs. Mcpherson under the mi
croscope in an attempt to dis
credit her. This is neither an
argument for her nor against
her, but a sincere attempt to I'M
derstand the force which she
employs.
There are those who claim she
is harmful in that she instills
false hopes where there is no
room for hope. Where false
hope is given, she is not to be
blamed. Rather it is we who
are at fault. We have not

Tuscaloosa, June 16.-(Special)- )- Fleetwood Rice, secretary for the Alec Mining company. a recently or ganized business, has filed petit tion with the Alabama Public Service commission, asking that the Louis vile and Nashville railroad be re- quired.. to move the railroad station at Alec. Tuscaloosa county to a point two miles west of that place.
 The request was made on the grounds that there are no residents in the vicinity which was at one time a mining community, and that the new location is to be developed into another mining community by the or ganized company which has it's head quarters here.
 The work on the new mining pro- ject, which Is to be operated by the hydraulic surface washing method. Is now under way and about 25 men are working on the right of way prepar- ing for Louisville and Nashville siding large enough to hold forty coal cars. The new company Is ad- vertising for bids for the work of grading and dressing the new track and has already placed orders for 4,500 feet of steel pipe IS inches in diameter and a 63o horsepower and centrifugal pump, all of which Is ex- pected to arrive within the next month.
 The company has closed contract with the Alabama Power company to furnish power for driving the pumps. motors and for other purposes and the actual production of coal by tho hydraulic method Is expected to sta rt by the first of September
