Bryden Road Temple Offers Facilities For Worship To First Methodist Church
Immediately     upon    hearing I pie Israel has been Ihe lempor- the news  that  the  neighboring ary  religious home ot a Chri.s-
church. The First Methodist Church, Bryden Road and 18th Street, was aflame on last Fri¬ day night after the.regular ser¬ vice Rabbi Samuel M Gup, of the Bryden Road Temple, mught QUt,.the4qii))?Xaf ot>the th'tirch, 'Reverend P ¦" Bringle Mcintosh, and after expressing the fellow-feeling of the mem¬ bers of the Temple over the dis¬ aster which had visited the church, he offered the u.se of the Temple as a place of wor¬ ship to the Methodist congrega¬ tion. The offer was promptly accepted by the minister and af¬ firmed by his Hoard of Trustees on the following afternoon. Al the fir.sl .service which the Methodists held in the Temple, Ihe Rabbi, upon invitation of Reverend Mcintosh, welcomed the congregation and in his re¬ ply Reverend Mcintosh expres- .sed the deep thanks of one and all for the kind offer, adding, "We shall never forget the kind¬ ness of Temple Israel in extend¬ ing to us this invitation In the hour of our grief."
This is the second time with¬ in the la.st few years that Tem-
tian congregation in Columbus. A few years ago, when the Broad Street Presbyterian Church, Dr. J. Harry Cotton, Minister, was undergoing a re modeling program, their ser vlcSEi <jivex%' •BMd>v,h9ldi' ih the *rempicf
The fine spirit of church neighborllness and liberality which has been e v 1 d e n c- ed in the attitude of Temple Israel toward Christian churches in Columbus was the subject of Ihe following editorial in Ihe Ohio Slate Journal on la.st Mon¬ day morning:
Neigh borliii»'KN While the First Methodist Churt-h. seriously damaged by lire. Is under- flolng rehabilitation, the conKref;atl»n will worship In the near-by Bryden Rd.   Temple.
Rabbi Samuel Gup has lonK been a friend of Ibe Methodists adjacent to his synagOKue. Several years ago when the Methodists were holding their annual conference al First Church he offered them the use of his synagogue for committee meetings, and both the secretary and treasurer of the conference occupied the Jewish edifice with their staff. Iheli- books, and   their equipment.
It Is a nne thing, this neighborll¬ ness. this willingness to share, this spirit that regards men and women ot another faith as real filends and co-workers.

"The propaganda offensive against (iemocracy did nol be¬ gin on Sept. ."!. IM!), when Hit¬ ler sent his mechanized legions lo contjuer and lay waste Poland, nor did il iiegin when, earlier, he marched into Austria or when he litjuidalcd Czechoslo¬ vakia,"   Senator  King said.
"It began on .Ian. 20, im.3, when a regime fanatically sworn to uproot democracy and freedom in all Europe gaified control of the Government In Cermany. Puring the inter¬ vening period, the Na;ii regime nol only trained its armies and filled its arsenals but built up a machirte which may be called the truly secret weapon against the democratic world. That weapon Js the propaganda ma-
eliine ih.'il was first put into act¬ ion af^aitif^t Ihe .lews and other ininnrily peoples."
Referring lo the action of Grejii liriiain in restricting the sale of land lo .lews in Pales- line.

¦I believe il is our duly." he said, 'lo impress upon Great liriiain the importance of fos¬ tering and extending rather ihan eunailing Ihe tlevelopment of the .lewish National Home in ralcstine. which is the one great hope for the future of homeless .lew.s and which must be Ihe cornerstone for the res¬ toration of the rights of the .lewish people who have been trampled under fool by the to talitarian forces."
"If Great Britain is seeking to restore justice in Europe it must al this very hour give a token of Its determination to right the wrongs of the last seven years by facilltaling the rebuilding of the Jewish Na¬ tional Home "
