Orthodox Rabbis
Rap DIR. Wise in
Formal Statement

New York. Dec. 2S.-(AP)-Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise was formally accus-
ed today by the orthodox rabbis of
the Agudath Ha Rabonam of Mis-
leading the House of Israeli and
opening the way to baptism"
When DR.. Wise proclaimed Jesus
as Jewish teacher. December 20, at
Carnegie hall, the orthodox rabbis of
the Agudath protested. They said he
was no longer fit for his post as
chairman of the United Palestine APP
peal, which is attempting to raise
/ 100000 to rebuild the Jewish
homeland.
Since then many influential Jews
have disagreed with the rabbis. Led
ty Nathan Straus. who, alone has
contributed $650,000 to the Palestine
fund. these Jews have declared DIR.
Wise must not be permitted to re-
sign as chairman, although he him.
self has offered to do so. They have
pledged their support at the special
meeting of the United Palestine APP
peal, which will consider DR.. Wise's
offer next Sunday evening.
In the meantime the Agudath Ha
Rabonam has issued a formal state
ment through the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. s..7-
ION more than one OCCASION" says
the Rabinical statement, "Dr. Wise
made similar speeches about Christ
ionity that are harmful to the large
masses of the house of Israel and the
Jewish youth in this country.
HE has on several occasions pub
licly preached against the divine au-
thority of the torah min ha shamain
(the Bible.) Because of this, he is,
from our point Of view. a priori con-
sidered harmful to be placed at the
head of a national Jewish movement.
1T is most regrettable that in ad-
dition to his sermon against the div
inc AUTHORITY of the torah, he sur
passed himself a week ago and
preached on a subject which threat
ems to tear down the carrier which
has existed between US and the
Christian church for over / 800 years
which may drive our children to
conversion.
"All right-thinking men and pious
Jews would be unable to help in the
United Palestine Appeal to the full
measure If DR.. Wise continued as
chairman. We therefore found 1t
necessary to demand his immediate
resignation"

Girls Club Notes


Now that the Christmas rush Is
over. girls who are wondering just
what to do with so much spart time
SHOULD remember the class In Dra-
mates which Professor Carl Weber,
of Colby College, is to conduct at the
Augusta Girls Community Club.
While this will be very valuable
course of lessons, not only most en-
joyablel but instructive as well, by
vote of the club members at the last
business meeting it has been arrang-
ed that part of the expense of the
course is to be cared for by the club,
so that the girls who. belong to the
club. can take advantage of this
worthwhile" opportunity at a very
small cost. All who hare not yet
signed for the dramatic class should
do so at once, or telephone Miss Jean
Greig. chairman of the Class Com
mittee. in regard to the matter.
The Christmas season is not entire
ly over, after ALI for next Monday
night there is to be a Christmas party
at the A. G.. c. c., to which all club
members and invited friends are cor
daily welcome. Miss Ruby Crook,
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee, Is planning an interesting
program for the evening", which. II
is said, includes reading or dance
or two. besides the traditional visit
from Santa Claus. All who attend
sheuld bring present (small and in
expensivet in case Santa's supply
should not be equal to the demand.
Members of the A. G. C. C. will
be interested to learn that arrange
ments are being made to issue a
small but attractive club program
sheet in the near future. This will
contain tentative program for club
nights, entertainments. classes, ETC.,
and will be helpful to those girls
who like to know in advance what is
doing" down at the club. 1t Is hoped
that many of the girls will have sug-
gestions for these folders and those
who wish to help the club in this
way should call Miss Barbara Haskell
within the next few days.
