Mrs. Goldstcin'will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. N. Danziger white in the city.
The entire Jewish community is here¬ by invited to hear both Mr. Bublick and Mrs. Goldstein.
Mr. Godaliah Bublick, president of the Mizrachi organization of America and Editor of the Jewish Daily News, has exercised a remarkable influence on the revival of Judaism in United States. Gifted with high idealism and an emo¬ tional temperament, he has wielded his pen in the elevation of Traditional Juda¬ isni, often-tim^s championing single- handed the battle of Orthodoxy. Mr. Bublick is a great believer in the strength of the young generation,' and he utilizes every occasion tp gather the Jewish youth under his banner.
Mr. Bublick was born in 1875 in Grod¬ no. He received his early education in Cheder 'and Loraze and Mir Ycshivoth, In 1699 he first began his literary career, as a contributor to the Hebrew Journal "Hashiloach". In 1904, he came to the United States and joined the staflf of the Jewish Daily News, as chief editorial writer, becoming its editor in chief in 1915, Mr. Bublick is the author of sev¬ eral interesting volumes, one of which "Min Hamezar," has attracted much pub¬ lic attention.
Mr. Bublick was one of the founders of the New York Keh^lah, but later be¬ came its principal opponent, when he thought that its control of Jewish edu¬ cation would weaken thc traditional at¬ mosphere of the classrooms. The Amer¬ ican Jewish Congress owes its-inception to Mr. Bublick's initiative. He acted as (Continued on Page 6)
educated tlian the average of his neigh¬ bors, but try as he might, he could arouse in Clarence no interest in the heavier reading which was his own daily diet. In" fact, Clarence Darrow's educa¬ tion has been confined to tlistrict school and academy, plus the wealth of infor¬ mation he lias accumulated during half a century in the practice of law.
I never studied geometry or history or Greek, and I studied scarcely any Latin, and not much arithemetic," explains Darrow. "I always thought that gram¬ mar was invented simply to be studied.
"In my early days whipping was a very targe part of the regular school course. I soon learned not t,o mind it very much, for it gave me such a good standing with the other children of the school. But my father had great ambitions for me to attain the heights which he had failed to reach. I can see him with his books—Latin, English, Greek, and even Hebrew—carrying them back and forth to the dusty mill, and snatching the small¬ est chance to'lcarn more of the wonders that were held between their covers."
Young Darrow was a typical small¬ town lad, figuring in all the sports of his kind, and getting a special thrill out of baseball and fishing. He admits that he cared little for the girlsf with the exception of a golden-haired lass who sat across the schoolroom and beguiled him with her long curls. "It seemed to me," he relates, "that nothing conld ever be quite so beautiful as that curly head;

Darrow Visits Old Home
Intimate sidelights, revealing the source of many of his convictions, were thrown upon thc life of Darrow when he returned to his old home in Ohio, re- centty. Accompanied by his only son, Paul Darrow, of Denver, and a small party of close friends, Chicago's great criminal lawyer meditated over the old haunts and interpreted a wealth of early impressions that' have stuck with him through three score years and eleven. His coming to Columbus, April 30, for the debate with Rabbi Tarshish, adds interest to the personal story of Darrow's youth.
His parents were New Englanders, raised in the Puritan school of life. "1 fancy," says Darrow, "that they would have felt that demonstrations of affection were ^igna of weakness, rather than of love. I have no recollection of a time when either my father or my mother took me, or any other member of our family, in their armS( but I well remem¬ ber that when I had a fever, and lay on my bed for what seemed endless weeks, my mother let no one else come near me by day or night."
There were seven children in the Dar¬ row family, and the mother died when Clarence was 15 years of age. The father, a country miller, was far better

which may explain the fact that all my life nothing has seemed so intriguing as golden hair, unless it were black, or' brown, or some otlier kind."
Darrow's parents were not members of any church. In fact, they had scant be¬ lief in some of thc church's chief 'arti¬ cles of faith. At one time the father was ambitious to be a minister, but he passed' so rapidly through various de¬ nominational beliefs, that he finally re¬ signed himself to the life of a miller.
Clarence Darrow is an agnostic. He is said to have been reared on Tom Paine's "Age of Reason," instead of the Bible. But he believes that "nature, afttir all, is not quite so brutal as she might be. However old and gray and feeble her children grow, she never lets them give up hope until the last spark of life has flown."

NEW YORK.—-Reports received at the oflircs of the United S.vnagoguc of Amer¬ ica indicate tliat jirtat interest has been aroused b\ tbc call issued last week by Dr. Cyrus Adler, as honorary chairman and Rev. Dr. Eh'gs Margolis, as chair¬ man of the convention.committee, for a gathering of the organized forces of con¬ servative Judaism at Chicago on April 2!Jth for thc solemn purpose of taking steps to reinstate the synagogue as the source and center of Jewish life.
The slogan of the convention call: "Reunite Synagogue and Life I" has ap- pareritly struck a responsive chord not only in the congregations, sisterhoods, women's auxiliaries and young people's leagues affiliated with the United Syna¬ gogue of America and its affiliated bodie?, the Woman's League and the Young People's League, but also among the several thousand individual members of the parent organization, each qf whom has been invited to participate in the Chicago gathering.
A similar effect has already begun to manifest itself in many congregations which though not formal constitutents of the United Synagogue of America hold to same, or nearly the same religious viewpoint. It is anticiijated that a-con¬ siderable number of such unaffiliated con¬ gregations and their sisterhoods will be represented at the Chicago gatherings. Arrangements have been made by the convention committee to enable delegates from these congregations to participate in the business of' both conventions.
The increased interest in these coil- ventions is due to the frank revelation, in the convention call issued by Dr. Mar¬ golis of the present day status of the synagogue in this country.
"What is the position of the syna¬ gogue in the life of American Jewry? What has become of its ancient pres¬ tige?" Asking these questions, he de¬ clares :
"The synagogue must be reunited with Jewish life, or the day is approaching when there wilt be no 'Jewish life in this country, and no Jewish service. Al¬ ready, too many of these activities which originally emanated .from the synagogue have been removed from its' influence. Jewish life in America has become secu¬ larized Even the Talmud Torahs and the religious schools are rapidly passing from the .synagogue's influence, and with this secularization goes loss of spiritual¬ ity, goes decadence,    The synagogue is
has aslccd to make the Chicago Conven- ion a genuine rallying of the forces of conservative Judaism, Rabbi Margolis "has been even franker. '
"Either the synagogue becomes again the source and center of Jewish life," he Says to them, "or it pates into the relative insignificance of just another institution and its spiritual leader will be relegated to the rank of a sublimated executive director, These perils must be averted, and tlie ChicaRO conventions wJll^ have failed unless they find ways and means to that end."
Seconding the efforts of Dr. Adler and Dr. Margolis is a letter of simitar pur-
