A gift of $3,000,000 has been made by Julius Rosenwald for the establish ment in Chicago of the greatest indus trial museum in the world, after the model of the industrial museum in Vienna and to be called the Rosenwald Industrial Museum. Sale by restaurants of foods falsely represented as being kosher, is a mis demeanor, according to an amendment to the New York state penal law which became effective April 9, 1926, and which was made public by the Secre tary of State recently. The fiscal year just closed shows a surplus of 1,200,000 pounds (nearly $6,000,000) on the-part of the Pales tine Government, according to a report issued in Jerusalem. This indicates a remarkable degree of prosperity for Palestine as compared with other man dated territories, as, for instance, Syria under French mandate. An interesting and picturesque event took place in Warsaw on July 4. The one hundred and fiftieth anni versary of the signing of the Declara tion of Independence of the United States was celebrated in the syna gogues throughout the Republic of Poland, by a decree of the Union of Rabbis in Poland.
tain extent, upon the situation, those knowing the Scriptures can not be so optimistic with reference to the de velopment of this high type of Jewish personality. f — o— YOM KIPPUR Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone ment, has since its beginning been the very heart and soul of the Jewish re ligion. According to a writer in “ The American Jew” it is fast losing its original and ancient significance. Among Jews in America there is developing a new conception of and a new attitude toward Yom Klppur. In this new world of new ideas, of inde pendent thinking among youth, of scientific and historical study of the ' Bible, of decaying theories of pro gressive religious spirit, educated and thoughtful Jews no longer term them selves “ exiled from our land and dis persed from our country.” They no longer weep because they are “ unable to observe the prescribed sacrifices in Jerusalem.” They have set this primi tive religion far behind them and do not teach it to their children. They no longer pray for the rebuilding of the Temple, that the sacrificial courts may be filled with thousands of rams for sacrifice and with tens of thousands of rivers of oil— religious practices condemned by the great Bible pro phets eight centuries before the Chris tian Era. The Day of Atonement is taking on the newer character of self searching and spiritual rejuvenation, the Shafar placed at its conclusion be ing a clarion call to ethical living and humanitarian responsibility. — The American Jew. The above is but an echo of the terrible blasting which has been done by the destructive critics in their attempts to destroy the foundations of the Word of God. The God-ordained institution of Yom Klppur, with all of its ceremonies and sacrifices relegated to the background as but survivals of a naive and outgrown superstition which was denounced by the great prophets of the eighth century, B.C.! This writer is entirely mistaken in his interpretation of the attitude of the prophets. They did not denounce the sacrifices, but simply and in plain words told the people Of their day and time that they were Worshipping God in vain, bringing sacrifices which were commanded by the law, while their hearts and lives were corrupted with sin and iniquity. Again, according to this writer, Yom Klppur is nothing more than a day of retrospection and the taking of an ethical inventory. This reduction of Yom Klppur and its sacrifices, which typified the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for the “ sin of the world” to the low level of human ethics, is one of the significant signs of the times which points definitely to the approaching close of the age. NOTES A new water supply system of the utmost importance was inaugurated in July to bring water to Jerusalem from the springs of Ain Fara, in the Jordan Valley northeast of the city. The new syBtem was accomplished by the Sir
