Let's Finish the Job!
THE UNITED JEWISH FUND CAMPAIGN inaugu¬ rated a month ago to finance for A period of three years all local and national appeals for philMnthropic, educational and cultural purposes is now drawing: to a close.
IT is safe to assert that every Jew in the city has been thoroughly informed regarding the issues of this tsinpaign and the imperative necessity of cCtoperation in order to put the drive over in an exemplary fashion worthy of the past reputation of this community. '
THERE is no question but that most oif our people have done their duty. Some even have feiven beyond their ineans. There stiU'remains a motley few, however, who have been somewhat slow ii> re^»nding.
WE would like to take this opportunity bf impressing these folks with the vital necessity of expediting matters at this time. .
THE crying need of ouir coreligionists abroad muAt be met at once. We cannot permit these suffering human beings to die of starvation.
It must be remembered that 8,000,000 human beings are in Jeopardy—^^500,000 in Poland; 3,000,000 in Russia; 1,000,000 in Roumania, and at least half a nriltion in adioixing countries.
MONEY is also needed at once for the other causes: the Palestine Appeal, the Cleveland Jewish Orphans' Home, the Columbus Talmud Torah, the Hillel Foundation, etc
AS the writer has said in a previous editorial^ this is not a matter of politics, or of nationality, or of theory. It is one of elemental humanity, of fraternal sympathy, aiid of religious ij/obligation. WE MUST HELP OUR THOUSANDS OF SUF- S^ FERING BRETHREN WHERE THEY NOW LIVE; and/^ we must also shoulder oiir bbligations with respect to the other worth-while appeals that have come to us. '
Let those who have stood' aloof come to -the front .and show their true colors. Let them vindicate themselves. Let them conte out and give, AND WITH THANKS TO THE UNIVERSAL FATHER FOR THEIR ABILITY TO DO SO.

Berlin spoke, hopefully^ of, the religious and ¦ educational progress  made in  Pal¬ estine, especially, the growth of the Jew¬ ish spirit arid rcHgioiis traditional con¬ sciousness.    Rabbi.
