Spiritual Sympathy
For JewsV Voiced by
Protestant Clergy

Message Sent by

Jewish ministers of Washington
yesterday hailed as significant evil

expression of spiritual sympathy
rendered by the entire Protestant
clergy of Washington. Southern

Christian ministers to "the loyal
members of the House Of Israel on
the Day of Atonement."
Sees Evidence of Comradeship.
Rabbi Gerstenfeld said it was the
first time anything of this nature
had been done in the history of
the Jewish Christian relations
throughout the centuries and point
ed to it as the evidence of a re-
ligious comradeship that unites all
who believe in the message Of
Sinai and the Sermon on the Mount
to build a new world of Gods JUS
tice and peace. a world free from
anarchic individualism, arrogant ma
tionalism and human tyranny of
the past centuries in the spirit OF
divine forgiveness"
The message from the Washing
ton Ministerial Union read in part:
The two great communlonS,
Israel and Christendom, are in SYM
pathy in their belief that man needs
the forgiveness of God, and that
man shall be forgiven as he for
gives those who have trespassed
against him. Therefore, in view of
the situation in our world, may the
Washington Ministerial Union, rep
resenting all Protestant Christian
ministers in Washington and vicini-
ty, express to the loyal members
of the House of Israel their spiritual
sympathy on the Day of Atone
ment"
Deep Appreciation Expressed.
In response Rabbi Gerstenfeld
read
. Washington, the leaders Of the
House of Israel in our community,
express to you their deep apprecia-
ton of the profound spiritual COM
radeship your beautiful Day of
Atonement message reveals.
May God guide us to keep America
a stronghold of Gods peace and a
flaming prophetic sign to all men
of a world of righteousness that is
to come"

Pageant Ends

Observance
Unity to Meet New
Threat Is Urged
Bv Mrs. Robert

The Daughters OF the American
Revolution concluded its golden jubi-
lee observance with a pageant at
Constitution Hall last night and q
plea from its president general, Mrs.
Henry M. Robert, jr., for national
unity in a time when new dangers
threaten our Republic and assail the
worlds democratic institutions.
The pageant was divided into five
decades and consisted primarily in
the reading of pertinent remarks
which were made by D. A. R. men,
bers in each of the periods. Dressed
in costumes typical of each decade,
various Daughters assumed the parts
of their predecessors and read state
ments contained in the organiza-
tions records.
Between the readings of what were
once actual addresses and reports
Mrs. Vinton Earl Sisson, librarian
general, kept up running marathon.
Benefit Work Dramatized.
Beginning with 1890, the pageant
came down through the World War
and concluded with the year OF
jubilee just completed. AS an i'm
pressive finale, pages and delegates
Of the D. A. r. and representatives
of the Red Cross, United States Ma
rines, Navy and Coast Guard, Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts and other
organizations lined the stage as the
roll of D. A. r. benefit work was
recounted.
While the pages of a huge book
on the platform were turned. Mrs
Robert explained the vast interests
of the D. A. R., among them the
following: Historical restoration, re-
duction Of illiteracy, Americaniza-
ton, Junior American Citizens
Clubs. Boy and Girl Scouts, noun
tain schools, music, libraries for In
dians, reforestation, gifts of Ameri-
can flags, student loans and the Red
Cross.
At the conclusion of the readings
the full assemblage stood for the
pledge Of allegiance to the flag anc
then, as at the end of every Con-
tinental Congress. the colors were
borne down the aisles and out of the
hall by the pages.
Mrs. Roberts Broadcasts.
Mrs. Robert in Nationwide radio
speech earlier in the afternoon de.
veloped at length the theme of pre-
paredneSs and unity, which she
touched upon at the pageant.
Most of all We can serve both our
selves and the Nation at this timt
through keeping ourselves sane. &C.
tive and normal human beings" she
said.
Perhaps in no way can you set 9
finer example than by refusing tc
complain about those things which
can no longer be helped. Past error:
cannot be mended, but our faults car
be corrected. Let is admit that We
have them. Begin with things a.
they are. avoid hysteria. use the best
judgment possible in facing deci-
sions and act with the confidence
that we can solve our problems il
We will.
'The magnificent spirit of the
American people can be depended
upon now. as always. The satisfac-
tion of your life may come through
the way in which you accept the
present challenge. In the
spirit of high adventure. that has
made America, We can with conf
dence and safety face the future
After her address she received al
a president generals reception al

The organization is not scheduled
to meet as a body again until next
