After taking the oath of office wihch was repeated in Arabic and Hebrew, Sir Herbert stressed the British Gov¬ ernment's desire to promote the happi¬ ness and prosperity of the inhabitants of the country. He deplored tbe rccal- 'icitrancc of" certain Arab leaders, iiidi- Icating that resistance to the British 'policy would be severely dealt with. tThe part of hi& speech to arouse the Widest interest and speculation was when |e expressed the hope that when, "after ,«.(& years" the Mandatory will leave Pal- ^^tine, there will be found "a prosperous R^eople, the Arab and Jewisli cultures flourishing side by side." This is be¬ lieved to be the first inkling from any British official of the probable date when England will lay down its mandate for Palestine.

They talked in low tones, as if a con¬ versation of serious import had started ill the midst of trivial talk. They did not look at the few passersby, but either at each other or at the ground. When they came to the little gaite which leads into thc small park contain¬ ing the Roman ruins, they turned in by tacit accord. In all Bordeaux there is scarcely a quieter spot than this. One might think that, as if to make up for thc sweat and agony which two thou¬ sand years ago had delighted the howl¬ ing mob seated on the vanished tiers, Nature had condemned the spot to eternal quiet. .Round about the tiny garden there rise the walls of •tranquil middle-class homes.

He sensed, by some unanalysable instinct, that his new-found friend was about to reveal something. "In truth," said the Frenchman, "I am not melancholy. I am oppressed. I am half afraid. And I scarcely know of what." He hesitated a full minute, and then a.sked: "Do you believe in a fate which half-reveals itself, Avhich speaks a lan¬ guage you half-understand, and flashes to 3:'ou now and again a. signal which you know has a meaning, but -which you have not the skill to read?" ¦ "I do not know whether I believe in it or; not," said the American, answer¬ ing in the language of the other.

Its practices are simple, its precepts few, and its results are very gratifying^ judg¬ ing by the statement of its leader, Rabbi Morris Lichtenstein. . Approximately seventy thousand Jews in New York alone have become believ ers in Christian Science.' Starting with a desire to try a cure for some ill, these Jews have gradually been weaned from Judaism by their constant contact with the Christian Scientists, their ways and beliefs. To counteract this, to prevent the number of Jewish converts to Chris¬ tian Science from growing, and possibly to bring back some of those vvho have already gone to the other, we have- Jewish Science. The Jewish Scientists meet on Wed¬ nesday evenings in the Y. W. H. A. building in New York. Most of their membership is made up of women. Treatments are given at the home of the leader. No distinction is made between reform aiid orthodox Jfiws. The num¬ bers of the Jewish Scientists are con stantly increasing. One of the founders of Jewish Sci¬ ence is Mrs. Morgenstern. Rabbi Lich tenstcin, the leader of the Jewish Sci- eii,tists, is a Russian bo»n Jew who com¬ pleted the rabbinical course in Cin¬ cinnati, received his Master of Arts degree at Columbia university and is at present taking work which, will ulti¬ mately give him the degree of doctor of philosophy. Rabbi Lichtenstein, in an interview in the Jewish Daily News is reported as laying that "sickness is not a pun¬ ishment Jewish Science does nbt be¬ lieve that God punishes. Does not be¬ lieve in heaven and hell. The, Lord created the world hi a spirit of love and set a number of standards, rules. He who observes these rules is healthy and enjoys life. He who docs not, he who breaks these rules, becomes sick. God does not punish him; he gets sick because of his own negligence—he pun¬ ishes himself. "It is not true that God wishes man tp fear him," the rabbi is quoted as saying. "God is no tyrant. He is a Father, not a ruler, tie is like a Father vvho looks after His children. His ob¬ ject is the good of His children. "Jewish Science, Jtlierefore, teaches that one should love God and not fear Him," Believing that one is' born into re ligion, that it is handed down to a people through ageS, Jewish Science does not seek converts—that is non- Jews. Jewish Science believes that death is merely the passing from this life to the life everlasting.

A minimum of distance and detachment from the object is needed -for thc physical eye if it is 10 apprehend the message con¬ tained in the thing—-in thc tints and shades and pigments placed on a canvas, and to send home its lesson. Intimacy in human life usually leads to contempt and the under-valuation of greatness, for then it is not the marks of genius that reveal themselves to the observer,.^ but rather the petty foibles and eccentricities in small things that become manifest while the attributes of greatness vanish into the thin air. No man is a hero to his valet; nor did thc North Pole look any different from any other barren and frozen bit of terra firma to its discoverer after having, spent many tireless years of his life in the quest .for that particular bit of mother earth. And were it not for the unerring testimony of his sextant and the magnetic needle he would not even have been aware of having achieved both the apex of his,career as well as of the world, 1 Equally so is it when studying some contemporary spiritual or social phe¬ nomenon whereon we are almost always hampered by a too close proximity to the object examined and, as a conse¬ quence, are apt to miss a great many of its most pregnant implications, not to speak of the temporary blindness which! as often as not results from the too bright glare of the revealing light.' - Jewry -at a Standstill Studies of the life of modern Jewry resemble not a little the position of the mar/ who is standing too close to the picture to properly judge it.

Wc can no longer be looked upon as Pariiihs even by our enemies, even by those who would cheerfully fasten upon our necks the total responsibility for thc world's ills, but rather as a people very much like others, to be loved, hated or feared, to.be lived with in concord or in a state of war, Indeed, the very fact of this exaggerated talk of thc Jew, this very assignation of the role of Atlas to him, speaks eloquently of the giant stature that he has recently ' attained though much of that growth may have taken place in thc adversary's fevered brain. Arid let us but remember the truism that no one has yet come forward with such scare-head talk of a dying race, much less of a despised Pariah.

And so had Jewry in the many lands of the Dispersion. After man's genius had discpvercd America, invented the printing press, the steam engine and electricity, the wprld had set¬ tled dpwn tp a life — the industrial life — that was becoming ever more and more standardized, mechanized and un¬ inspiring. Man, having conquered the forces of nature,' began to hope that now life' would take on a new and brighter lustre, when as a matter of fact, he very soon discovered that all the virility as well as all the inherent poetry had gone like a phantom out of it. Like Alexander of pld, he nPw began to sigh for new worlds to conquer, new worlds to take the place of those lying prone and lifeless at his feet. This civilization crumbled like Sodom's apple before he could bring it to his mouth, and the in¬ evitable result was a sense of unhappi- ness as Well as a deep-felt though.vague dissatisfaction with it all.- Man-simply felt that something vital had gone wrong with his Paradise and yet knew not what it was that did go wrong. . Under the abnormal circumstances, the Jew suffered doubly, both as. a man as well as a Jew., The anamoly of his position — a homeness and tolerated mi¬ nority everywhere—singled him out for the role.of the scape-goat to bear away everyone's sins. In the general spiritual debacle of the day he was the conven¬ ient target for all pfirties; witness the growing anti-Semitism of the West and the increased persecution of him in the East; - Under these most unfavorable circumstances, his own mental fibre be¬ gan to det9i'iorate, to weaken and give way, especially in its weaker places. The catastrophic occurrences of the past eight years, sad in themselves as they were as well as surpassingly rich in human misery, have nevertheless brought to us undreamed of changes and hitherto unexperienced metamor¬ phoses, "Out of the strong came the sweet," and put of the unparalleled mis¬ eries of.our brothers abroad has come forth that equally as unparalleled man ifestations of Jewish solidarity and Jew¬ ish kind-heartedness on this side of the Atlantic. The amorphous, as yet un¬ formed American Jewry, as being yet in its swaddling-clothes and barely yet cpnscious of its potentialities grew to maturity all at once under the stressing blows delivered and aimed at the less fortunate brothers abroad, and becoming a conscious and living organism under the stress of tragic events. It has now beeii tested in the fires of adversity and found of a pure, un¬ adulterated consistency.

Doelle, Commilsioner of the State Fair, four days prior to the closing of the ann' exhibitions. The order to put a stop to the sale of the discriminatinl literature was given following the receipt by Mr. Doelle of letter from Dr, Emil Amberg of this city, who questioned tl" fairness of allowing- Ford's anti-Semitic propaganda to b spread with the help of the State of Michigan in the course ,<if the at\nual State Fair. The Ford interests had a special sp||l&t reserved at the Fair Grounds for the Dearborn Indepen^^it.

"May I inquire whether the offering c|r booklets in the Ford tent for 25 cents each, derogatory tola race, marks a progress of this state, or, is in harmony witfi the spirit of the constitution of the United States?" ' The prompt and satisfactory reply" that came from Mr. Doelle follows: . "We appreciate your letter of Sept. 4th and desire to say that the matter of the booklets which were being sold at the Ford tent has been take care of and I believe you will find that none of these are being disposed of at the preseut lime. "We were not aware that this was being done and im¬ mediately upon receipt of your letter took care of the situa¬ tion. We' appreciate very much your cooperation because none of those connected with the State Fair desire that any« thing should be done which might in any way offend anyone in the State."
