Jew-baiters in all history.

What ought to happen to the
Jews? Well, think the world
ought to stop pushing tn m
around and that the Jewish peo-
pie should be allowed, within rea-
sonable limits, to decide their
own destiny. Some Jews wish to
remain citizens of Britain or the
United States or wherever they
happen to be. (There is nothing
strange about this. So do mem
bers of other races, too.) Other
Jews feel they will never be
happy until they are citizens OF
their own Jewish homeland. (And
again, there is nothing strange
about this.) And I see no rea-
son why both groups should not
be satisfied. Let the Jews who
feel homeless have home. Let
the others who do not feel home
less stay where they are. By this
compromise both Jewry and the
Gentle world will benefit.
The benefits are obvious. If
YOU have a small Jewish state,
not large enough to play power
politics (for we have enough OF
them already, then in that state
the Jewish people can experiment
with their own political and eco
nomic and social life, which is an
excellent thing. The Zionist can
show the worldHwhat he can do.
On the other hand, the large
number of Jews, who feel no
sense of Illustration in being Brit
ish, American or other citizens,
should stay where they are. 1t
is, in my opinion, important to
the world that they should. l
say this because having been
brought up in provincial town
that has a small but influential
group of Jewish citizens, 1 have
no doubt whatever that the Jew
ish temperament provides valu-
able leaven. Modern New York,
for instance, has gained much by
having so many members of the
Jewish race among its citizens,
who have added a rich spice of
their own to the general favour
of the city.
am well aware of the fact that
the whole issue is far more COM
plicated than I have suggested
here. There is the religious prob
lem, and with that I am not COM
petent, as an outsider, to deal.
But I would have thought it pos
sible for a Jew to be a good Brit
ish or American or French citizen,
making a very valuable contri-
button to the life of the British,
American or French communi-
ties, and doing nobody any harm,
and yet keeping his own religious
faith, so long as that faith is pur-
ged of any primitive tribal preju-
dices. And indeed as I suggest
in my play Desert Highway" the
very existence of people strongly
rooted in a faith of this kind,
which sees the universe as some
thing better than a machine or a
mere chaos, is very important to
a bewildered world.
Racial Prejudice
My view, then, is that the Jew
should be free to choose whether
he shall be a citizen of his own
historic homeland or of any other
country ready to accept him and
that in these other countries he
should be free to worship accord
ing to his faith. But one warn
ing is necessary. It is racial pre-
judice that has inspired the long
persecution of the Jewish people.
Therefore, the Jew himself must

JEWS AND GENTILES
By J. B. Priestley
Famous novelist reviews an age
old problem.

About ten years ago / wrote
an article, one of series for a
newspaper, on the Ws. 1t
brought me a stack of letters.
Nearly all the writers of those
letters appeared to be in tower
ing rage, and half of them ac-
cused me of being pro-Jewish and
the other half told me was anti
Semitic. Since then have avoid
ed this dangerous topic, which
must almost head the list of topics
that instantly inflame prejudice
and Danish all common sense and
/ tolerance. Nevertheless, I will try
again, adding a warning that l
do not intend to answer any let
ters that these remarks may call
forth-not. even the good-temper-
ed ones.
Have 1 prejudice against or in
favour of the Jews? The answer,
strange as it may seem, is that 1
am prejudiced both for and
against. (If this was merely a
personal idiosyncracy, it would
not be worth discussing, but I be-
lieve it to be fairly common at
titude.) If I meet a Jew and hap
pen to dislike him, then dislike
him sharply. If I meet one like,
then I like him very much. There
is no mystery here. Most Jews
have a great deal of vitality and
cannot pass unnoticed in any COM
pany. They are there, and one
cannot pretend they are not.
Hence the resulting reaction is
stronger than usual, favourable,
or unfavourable. That is why I
say that land millions of Cen
tiles like mean at once prejud-
iced for and against Jewish peo-
pie.
A World View
But if I take world view, and
not a personal one, then my reac-
ton is distinctly favourable.
Jewish people may have some
times treated the world badly, but
it is certain that the world has
treated its Jews damnably. The
contemporary Jew in particular,
after the appalling horrors of the
last ten years, has the right to
point a finger of scorn at our
whole age. 1t is impossible to be
a decent citizen of the modern
world and not have the Jewish
people on ones conscience. This
may explain why some persons,
not necessarily Nazis or Fascists,
cannot help eagerly welcoming
anti-Semitic legends and rumours,
for it is uncomfortable to have
somebody on your conscience.
Psychological MiSfitS
Again I would state without
hesitation that the Jewish people
have given more to the world
than they have taken from it.
1 do not need to remind myself
of the magnificent contribution of
their race, if only because I hap
pen to have a special interest in
those fields of activity, such as
music and drama and metaphysics
in which so many great Jewish
names may be found. And most
people who dislike the Jews are
generally discovered to be mis-
truthful of intellectual and artis-
tic activities, and indeed are often
sullen and lumpish types, psy-
Geological misfits. 1t is signifi-
cant that it was the Nazi burners

woman grown, I firmly believed
that sea horses were completely
mythical, like the Roc or the
Unicorn. Imagine my delight at
finally discovering for myself In
an aquarium, hundreds OF these
enchanting little creatures SOL
emnly swimming around and
around, "big as life and twice
as natural" as my grandmother
used to say.
Discovering sea-horses was al
most as much fun for me as dis
covering a whole tribe of live
Lilliputians was to the little girl
in "Mrs. Masham's Repose," the
new and very charming book by
T. H. White.
Also in my childhood lexicon
of dream words was pomegranate.
To me, pomegranate was a leg
endary fruit, familiar only to
poor Persephone, and when, at
twenty, I first tasted its luscious
red seeds, I knew that nothing
ever again would taste so won
derful. And even now, after all
these years, it seems to me that
pomegranates still add a touch of
the exotic and strange to the most
commonplace meal. There are
many ways to use them (Have
you ever eaten pomegranate ice
cream), but one Of my favorites
is the very simple one of adding
a cupfui or two of the seeds to
the old familiar salad of celery,
apples and walnuts, mixing with
a generous amount of sweet-sour
dressing. A wonderfully crisp
complement to any meal and very
beautiful to look upon.
If you are an avocado fan, you
may like pomegranates on avo-
cado and grapefruit salad, with
Russian or French dressing. I've
been having trouble finding avo-
cados ripe enough for immediate
use, but there are two or three
satisfactory. methods of ripening
them fairly rapidly. Probably the
best known method is to put them
in a brown paper bag, and keep
them in a closed drawer, but
when I am really desperate, I
wipe them off and bury them in
the flour in my tin flour can. I'll
admit that this is little uncon-
ventional, but it does work, and
if they are not too green, they'll
often be soft enough for guaca-
mole after twenty-four hours.
I suppose we are all having
the same difficulty finding mayon-
naise and other salad dressings.
A substitute often used by a
friend of mine (and she is won
derful cook), is especially good
for potato salad, and I think it
is grand for cole slaw too, or any
salad that can be dressed with
cream style dressing. A time
saver, too. You just whip canned
milk with little salt, and add
sugar and vinegar to taste. I
know it sounds a little on the dull
side, but you'll find it isn't at all
dull tasting.
AS a matter of fact, 1 seldom
find any kind of cooking dull,
but I imagine most of us get
bored with dish washing-the in
evitable aftermath of even the
best meals. I know a smart gal
who always keeps a detective
story propped open on the win
dow sill over her kitchen sink,
and over a period of years has
become thoroughly adept at read
ing as she does the dishes. I can't
say I've acquired any great facil-
ity as yet, but I think it is a
wonderful stunt, and I mean to

II. n. Schauland, Pastor

On August 4 Mr.. James E. Chri-
stopher and Mrs. w. M. Hudgens
were received into membership of
Hope Lutheran Church by the rite
of confirmation. Confirmation is a
public confession of faith in Jesus
as the Savior of the world and a
promise of faithfu1ness to Him I'M
til death. God grant them His
grace to carry out their promise.
When asked why he went to the
church, a man answered: I 60 to
church because have an appoint
ment with God. He set the date
1900 years ago when He said: He
that hath ears to hear, let him
hear. True, I meet Him in other
places, but Sunday is my special
appointment. I cannot afford to
miss it." We wish that more peo-
pie would feel that way. During
the summer months churches US
ually experience slump in atten-
dance at services and Sunday
School. 1t is strange, but it is gem
orally in summer that religion is
showed under. One wonders what
people do to keep out the devils
moths, when they hang their reli-
gion away for the summer. We all
agree that this slump in church
attendance is a bad sign. If only
these people who absent themselv-
es from Gods House in the good
old summertime would realize
what they are missing They may
be missing the very sermons which
they needed most to direct them to
eternal life. We cannot help feel
ing sorry for them.

Preaching to a very attentive and
eager Christian congregation for
food for thought, our minister de-
lvered a spirit-filled sermon. His
text was Galatians 6:14 and his
subject was The Challenge of the
Cross. Thoughts from his inspir-
ing and challenging message were
as follows: You might succeed in
escaping the law of the land but
you can't escape the law of God;
If man is looking for ease in
this world IL he follows God, his
thinking is wrong for the road to
Christian glory is one ofmany hard
ships and self sacrifice; and fin
ally, man ought to know where
he stands in relations to Jesus
Christ and if he doesn't know he
is apt to run and stumble in all
directions, and if he does, he
stands on solid rock.
At the 7:30 evening services we
were honored with the presence Of
DR.. S. H. Lewis Add of the 1st

who delivered us a sermon full of
encouragement and inspiration
from the text St Matthew 1918,

it.
