III an exceptionally itirrins oration, replete with apt phraics and orijL'iiial witticiiiiii. Riihlii J.icob Tarshish of thc IJrjdcii Koad Temple stressed thc im- P(irt.iiicc of lirothcrly love and co-opera¬ tion in thc hociaJ, roliF^ioiis, and cco- noiliic affairs of men. Taking "Tlie Greatest Thiii(r in the World'' as his theme, the Rahhi broURlit home to all his auditors al the Excelsior Club ban¬ quet last Sunday eveniiiij thc fact that ue nre now living in an age of imitcrial- ism where nioney and material thinRs are Riven precedence over ideals and spiritual things.
"Onr. ancestors," declared I^ahbi Tarshi.sh, "were much different in this respect from thcir'dcsccndants of the present day. They prized highly thc eternal verities and paid little Iiccd to transitory and illusory things. They kept constantly close to God—the great Spirit behind tiie universe."
The fiabbi then proceeded to- extoll the principles .and the purposes of the Cohimbus Excelsior Club. "To promote Brotherhood and good fellowship and genuine fraternal feeling is a splendid policy which I cin endorse most heart¬ ily," he asserted.- "In chibs of this na¬ ture we try to abolish selfishness and teach men not to hold aloof and not to separate themselves from thc rest of the community. . Cooperation and mutual helpfulness .should be thc mottoes of every forward-looking soeial cluh as well as every educational and religious organiza¬ tion. E\ery man in this world gets more oufof it than he puts into it We all need each other.
"The teacher needs his pupils, and lice versa. The doctor must have pa¬ tients, just as patients must have their doclorii. Tiie lawj'w must have his clients and thc business man his cus¬ tomers. The rich must take fcare of the poor and assLst them in every way pos¬ sible. Those in high; places, must make it their business to look after tho.se in low places. It is thc unshirkablc duty of every man to be, in some measure, his brother's keeper. Our .ancestors adhered nobly to this exemplary principle. But I am afraid that we of thc present day have fallen short of the mark. There does not exist amon^ us at the present time that reverence for Ihnigs holy and upliftuig which characterized our fore¬ bears. It nni.st be admitted that our standards in the field bf morals, ethics, and traditions arc not as high as they were in thc past.
"I am glad to see assembled licre this evening representatives of both the Orthodox and Conservative wings of Jewry. I recognize among you a num¬ ber of men who are also members of my own congreg.ition. 1 admonish you all to be loyal and devoted to your re¬ spective .synagogues. There is room in this country for good Ordiodox Jews, good Coni;ervative Jews, and good Re¬ form Jews Aftei- all, we arc brethren, 'Achenu Koi Beth Yisroel.'"
The address of Kabbi Tarshish was fnll of earnestness and zeal, as well as eloquence, and tliose present were deeply stirrol.. President Louis Rosenthal called upon Harry Schwartz to make thc response. Mr. Schwartz thanked : the.Rabbi for his kindness in consenting to be the Club's guesl ol honor and for thc fine message he delivered. Mr. A. M. Neustadt was' then called upon to say a few words. The latter declared that ''Raiibi Tarshisli is con.stantly^ work¬ ing for the glory of Isr,iel in general and thc advancement of Ihe local Jewish community in particular." He then an¬ nounced the forthcoming symposium on Religion in which Rabbi Tarshish on March 13th will participate together with Clarence Harrow, Ilishop Edwin H. Hughes, aud Judge John P. McGoorty of Chicago. Tins affair will take place at Memorial Hall under thc auspices of the Redpath Lyceum bureau.
Brother Rosenthal presided at the bani)uct and welcomed tlic large num¬ ber of people who t«rne<l out. He ex¬ plained that thc affair was arranged, not only in honor of the incoming ad¬ ministration, but also in honor of the past presidents of the Club. On behalf of thc club thc following past presidents (Max. Weinberger, Dr. Morris Gold¬ berg, Dewey A. Rosenfield, and Martin A. Rosenthal) wcrc prcseiitc<l with beau¬ tiful gifts, as a token of Ihe members' gratitude for their splenilid services in tile past. Samuel Gurewitz made the presentation speech. '

A NEW ERA IN THeIuSTORY OF LOCAL ZIONIST AFFAIRS WAS USHERED IN LAST MONDAY EVE¬ NING AT THE SOUTHERN HOTEL
alTnirs, and with renewed consecratinn and devotion hasten the re-cstablishmcnt <if tlio Jewish people in thc land of Palestine, ihei'cby fulfdling I.'iaiah's prophecy concerning thc mount.iin of thc Lord's House: 'And it shall conic to pass In tho last days that the mountain of thc Lord's House shall he established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above .the hills, and all na¬ tions shall (low imto it And many peo¬ ple shall go and say: Come yc and let us go up tmto the mounfairirof thc I-ord, to the house of thc God of Jacob; and ITe will teach us of His ways, and VVC will walk in His paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He ¦ shall judge among the nations, ahd shall rebuke many peoples; and they shall beat their swords Into plowshares. and their <ipcars into pruning hooks; nation shall tiot lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more'
"I am hap[)y to sec a new attitude and a new spirit wilh reference towar^ds Zionism in tliis community," concluded Mr. Lipsky. "Columbus can do much for this exemplary ideal. Continue to work together in a spirit of service to your own people in particular and to the nations of the world in general, and you will merit thc approbatibn of men as well as of God."
Mr, Lipsky was introiluced by Kabbi Solomon Rivlin of the East Broad Street Tcniple. The response tp his address was made by Edwin J. Schanfarber. Ev¬ eryone present agreed that the message of Mr. Lipsky Monday evening, was one of thc fu\c'it liver delivered in, this city. Tl;ic writer of these lines considers the ad- drc^is one of the most lucid and graphic presentations of Zionist principles, pur¬ po.ses, and aim;; delivered in any city of the United Slates in many a year.
Before Mr. Lipsky's address. Cantors Freedman and Grodner sang two vocal selections^ the musie for which was ar¬ ranged by Cantor Grodner. The open- tug remarks at thc muss meeting wcrc made by Robert L. Mellman who ex- tcndetl a hearty welcome to the gather-' ing.
Preceding ; the mas.s meeting which took place at 8:30, there was a special banquet in lienor of Mr. Lip.sky. The chairman at the banquet was Robert L. Mellman, President of the local Zionist District. Among the guests at this din¬ ner were the following: Mr. and Mrs. l^ldwin J. Schanfarber, Mr. and Mrs. Leon J. Goodman, Mr. and Mrs, M. L. Yuster, Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Solove, Mr. M. M. Levison, Louis Lakin, Mr. and Mrs. H. Kobacker, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Horowitz, Mr, Sigmund Orn¬ stein, Dr. and Mrs. H. W. Abramson, Mr. ^md Mrs. Max S. Bogatin, Rabbi Solomon Rivlin. Mr. A. M. Neustadt. Mr. and Mrs. Max Dworkin, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Hcrsli, Mrs. E. Zeckhauser, Miss lula Zeckhauser, Rabhi and Mri. Lee J. Levinger, Mrs. Louis Leno, and Rabbi Iiaac Werne. Mr. Lipsky de¬ livered a short address at thc dinner. Others who spoke are 15. W. Abramson
The message which Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, brought to the fiOO men ami women who thronged the ball-room of tbe Southern Hotel last Monday,eve¬ ning, was not only . saturated with tbe spirit of the Hebrew Renaissance and the indomitable ardor of a great Jewisii champion and publicist; it was also re¬ plete with brilliant f]a.shcs of wit, satire, sarcasm, vivacity, and humor.
Mr. Lipsky's address was in part as follows:
All elements in Jewry arc flocking to the standard of Zion. Jews of all types and descriptions have, been touched by the'appeal of our ancient Homeland and are dedicating their lives, their ener¬ gies, and their money to its rehabilita¬ tion. The consummation of the Jewish Agency is a turning point in Jewish his¬ tory. It is ushering in a" period of un¬ precedented prosperity for the cause, we cherish and hold so dear.
"Palestine is being rebuilt before our very eyes," he continued. "The Chalut¬ zim, who till tlie soil'and build the roads in Judea, are making labor a religion. They consider their multifarious activi¬ ties as channels through which to work , out the destiny of the 'Am Olami'—the i eternal people. The influence which the rejuvenated Palestine is beginning to ex¬ ert upou the Jews of the diaspora, is al¬ ready manifest throughout the world.
"We are constantly talking about our memories of the past,'* said the speawer. Although these memories are. very faint in the minds of most of us, I admit that they are beautiful and soul inspiring to tliose wbo know their true significance and their pregnant meaning; bht what ^bout our hopes for the future? It is true that we have done in the past many great things for thc progress of the world.. These fine achievements, how¬ ever, were brought about by our an¬ cestors of long ago. What are we of the present generation going to do? What arc we as a nation going to do for the great symphony of nations?"
The speaker then went on to give a graphic account of the progress that has: been made during the past thirty years in thc rebuilding and,reviving of Palestine. He told of the increase in population, of the building of modern roads, homes, and business houses, of the establishment of schools, of the founding and the building-.up of, Tel -Aviv, the all Jewish city.
Continuing, Mr. Lipsky spoke as fol¬ lows:
''The holy land now has a population Qf 165,000. Many. of these inhabitants are farmers and manual laborers. They consider their work sacred and go. about it with hymns on their Hps.
"Today the leaders of World Zionism consider the upbuilding of the holy land as a challenge to all Jews, non-members of the Zionist organization, as well'as members. Orthodox Jews as well as Reform, German Jews as well as Rus¬ sian. Our great and glorious movement needs more than lip service to the ideals and principles of Zion. Let us translate
