Cincinnati, Ohio
Truly throughout the ages, but
especially through these last
thirteen years, Israel has been
the suffering servant of God and
of humanity, through whose faith
fulness under trial and through
whose inexhaustible message, the
world has in some measure come
at last to cherish a realistic hope
of salvation.
We share eagerly in the uni
versal hope for the dawn of a
better world, a world in which
men and nations may dwell to-
gether in unity. In such world
our brethren Of the household of
Israel in all lands may well find
surcease of oppression and sor-
row, and may again walk proudly
as the eternal, though no longer
the suffering, servant of God.
In this new age and this new

productions is the current attraction
at the Toledo Zoo amphitheatre, the
sixth of the summer light opera
series. It will continue every night

modest establishment.
Eventually he realizes that his
American fance is shallow and frivi-

series will be Sigmund Romberg's
production New Moon, beginning
next Monday night and continuing
for the week.
