They are not the same. Classical Hebrew is the language, of the most of the Bible. It is Semitic. The Hebrew of the Talmud and Mish- na are not quite so pure but are closely related to Aramaic and very abbreviated. Yiddish is a German Hebrew jargon written or printed in Hebrew characters, which incidentally comes from Aramaic. It contains many words of Slavic origin. A vast literature has been written and trans lated in it, and newspapers with a large circulation are printed in Yid dish. The Zionists have stressed the necessity of reviving pure classical Hebrew for literature and conversa tion and it is their hope that in a re stored Palestine it will be the lan guage of the Jewish people and will take the place of Yiddish. (B’nai Brith Bulletin). The Struggle of European Zionism Dr. M. Hindes, in the “ New Pales tine,” says: “Within the raging wil derness and assault of European re action, the Jewish national effort to rebuild a homeland has the aspect of a miracle. It is indeed the one mira cle of the time that the weakest peo ple in the world should find, in the face of bitter external enmity, chaos, misery and sadness rampant, the force and the will to continue on the road to reconstruction. Let the builders
P L A C E S FACTS DATES Are very uninteresting when studied separately, but when you connect all three into one sub ject you have very interesting and very instructive historical events. THE STOUTS STUDENT MAP OF PALESTINE is an idea that is unique, interesting and most instructive. The map shows on its face the very spot where about 50 of the most interesting Bible incidents took place. For example, “Here Christ fed 5,000,“ “Here little Samuel lived with Eli,“ “Here Samson slew 1,000 Philistines“ etc., etc. This is only one feature of the map. It has an alphabetical list *of all cities, towns, rivers, lakes, plains and mountains, on the margin so arranged that any can be found easily and readily. It also shows by arrowed lines the journeys of Christ, chrono logically arranged, with a list of the chief events of each journey, with references as to where they are recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Also the Old Testament references. You may know the fact and date perfectly, yet if you are “All in the Fog” about the place, there may come a time when you will blush at your own ignorance. It is every Bible Teacher’s plain duty to be interesting; because, where there is no interest, there is no attention; where there is no attention, there is no learn ing; where there is no learning, there has been no teaching, and where there was no teaching, there was no teacher! This is worth pondering. The study and use of this splendid map inter ests and instructs a teacher; con sequently, interests the class, gets attention, and imparts in formation. Then there has been learning, teaching and a teacher. SIZES AND PRICES No.l 22x34 inches.
