.a Jewish society with a complete and^ integrated life of its 6w,n, is in the process of formation. The speed of the : process depends, naturally, in large measure upon t|ie, Jewries ofthe world, . and, iu the first place, upon the Jews of America^ We should, however, not omit finally an asset which, is intangible, but which, nevertheless, stands as. the but¬ tress; and impulse, of all our other achievements. It is ttie spiritual asset. It is the spirit that is abroad in Pales¬ tine today, the spirit of grim and joyous determination,-Strong and unafraid,

Big Crowd Expected At The Formal Installation Of Rabbi L. Greenwald
The comniittee in charge, of the ar*- rangements forithe installation exercises of "Rabbi Leopold Greenwald is expecting a big turnout for the occasion, August 1st, at the" Beth Jacob congregation.
Reservations are pouring in for the, banquet which will take place in. the evening, folipwingtVie installation exer- cise's^ Tiiose ;whb'have as yet riot re¬ served places are urged to do so before July 25th. The full progfram will be published in the next issue of The Chronicled
A SURVEY of the civilized world,,as it existed two hundred and fiftjv years agot indicates that so far as the Jew Was cpnccrhed—Jpohtically, materially, so-, cially —his fortunes were gt the lowest ebb. Driven from England in,.l"2!)0, Eor fi(!5 years no Jews had been permitted to live in the land which has become tlie mother of.freedom. Driven from Spain in MS>2, and shortly thereafter, frbm Portugal, none of the, Jewish stock,' save the Marranos, whose outward lives were the incariiatjon of falsehood, dwelt upon the Iberian Peninsula. In l(iI8, the Cossack tiprising under Chmielnicki transformed the dream of peace and prosperity of the Russian, and Polish Jews into the horrible reality which-has ever since rvcrwhelmed them ¦with an avatanche of misery, wretchedness, and degradation. The Jews; of Germany and. Austria dwelt within Ghetto walls, and suffered from every species ofi in.sult, contumely, .and discrimination. - In France and Italy the Jew was a Pariah and an outcast-
The Sole Oasis
Holland, was'the sole oasis in the desert of human malevolence. There the Jew and the Puritan,.the ancient arid the modcrii people of the Book, found a ihavcn of refuge, and behind the;dikes Of toleration of' that enlightened countryj Were Afforded protection from the wild Sea of persecution which' menaced them.
.From, Holland sailed the .Mayflower with its precious, cargo of humanity. Thence sailed a party of Jews, to found a colony-in Brazil, which then owed aHegiance to the Netherlands. For a time, fortuiie ^sniiled on the '.olonists. They (irospere,d. They were happy. .Their hearts were filled with gratitude to the God who had enabled Columbus to discover the new continent, not with the aid of the jewels of Isabella, but with that of the jews, whose funds supplipd the caravels which formed the discoverer's convoy.
But their joy was shor-tHved. In lC->t. Portugal wrested from Holland, the Brazilian territory, and these children of ".The tribe of the wandering foot" were. once riiore compelled to take up their pilgrimage to seek more favorable skies. A party of twenty-three set sail on the "St. Catarina^V for IJew. Amsterdam; believing that' Holland, with which they had united their fortunes, owed to them, somewhere, a resting place. In their hasty departure they; were compelled to sac¬ rifice.thei,r possessions, and, to secure the captain of the vessel for their-transpor¬ tation, each of that band of refugees became sponsor for the others and pledged his person and his goods to attain that harbor, around, which there now dwells the largest Jewish commtinity the .world has ever known.    ,.

. -It is a source of inspiration, not only to their descfendants, but to the entire' country as well, that the grandchildren of the Pilgrim Fathers annually celebratp their historic landing on Plymouth Rock, aiid dwell upon the virtues of their ancestors, their devotion t) the principle,.their willirigness to make ever sacrifice fpr the right to-exercise their conscience^, their struggles, and their triumphs,   ,

Well-Known Rabbis Will ;    Attend Installation Exercises on August 1st
Prominent out-of-town as .well as local men and women will attend the installation exercises for Rabbi Grceu-^ wald of the Beth Jacob congregation Sunday afternoon, August 1.
Among the rabbis from out-of-town who will grace the program for the day are the following; Rabhi C. F. Ep¬ stein, Cleveland; Rabbi Dr. Philip Ro¬ senberg," Cleveland; Rabbi Israel Porat, Cleveland j , Rabbi. Emanuel Eckstein, Cleveland; Mr. S. Rocker,,Editor of the Jewish World, Cleveland j Rabbi E.

Plenty of Trouble
Their greeting in New Amsterdam was. inauspicious; V Their goods, which had been pledged for their transporta¬ tion, were seized. Two of their nuiftber were imprisoned as hostages until the funds should arrive with whicK to,meet the obligations of the party. ¦'¦ Peter Stuyvesant, the, hard-headed and the irascible, moved by the bigotry of^ tihe age, gave notice that the new arrivals were not only unwelcome, but would not be received, and that they must once more cross the dreary waste of waters to seek anew, if such.there were, a;place to rest their weary feet.
Surely this was a condition more se¬ rious than the hyperborean, blasts of win¬ ter, th<e. defiant war cry of the savage Indian, the terrors and privations of the
wilderness. But that small band was composed of that stuflF which builds states and nations — men, self-respecting, dignified, permeated with the Maccabean spirit; men cognizant of their rights, de¬ voted to principle^ seeking justice, who Were willing, if need were, to fight for the recognition of their manhood. And so, when Stuyvesant threatened depor¬ tation and sought to slam the gates of America in the faces of these Jewish immigrants, they did not tamely or cringingly submit, they did riot fawn Or bend the suppliant knee, but they ap¬ pealed io the Dutch West India Com¬ pany, which was the controlling power over the colony, insisting upon their right to become inhabitants of New Netherland.

The Committee.
CLEVELAND. —At the recent an¬ nual meeting; of the hoard of directors of the   Cleveland  Jewish   Orphan   Home.
Mr. Fred Lazarus, Jr., of Columbus, was elected. President to succeed Mr. Adolph Freund of Detroit,
Mr. Lazarus' father, the late Fred Lazarus, Sr., was one of 'the pioneer, founders of the Home, and for many years was one of its most tintiring work¬ ers and champions. Since his demise his son has assumed his duties, enter¬ ing upon thi.s' noble work in a spirit of helpfulness and, public service. In con¬ nection with the Home's plans for a new plant in Shaker Heights, to be luiilt on the "cottage plan," Mr. Lazarus, Jr., has rendered some exceptionally, fine service.
Mr. Lazarus is a member of the firm of F. & R. Lazarus & Co. of Columbus, the leading department store of Central Ohio. Hc is one of the outstanding public men in the Buckeye capital.
The directors of the Home feel that his elevation to the Presidency will not only expedite the completion of the new institution but willalso beVonducive to its further progress and -development along the most approved lines.'
Alfred A. Benesch of Qeveland is Treas.urer' of the Home; Stella S. Lazarus is Secretary; Michael Sharlitt is the superintendent. Some of the most prominent Jews in the Middle West are on the board of directors.
; LONDON— (J. , T. ;. A) —Liberal Judaism 'Will have to come to, a clear understanding regarding the teaching of Christ. This was. the contention made by Mr. Claude Montefiore, leader of Lilicral Judaism in England, in-an ad¬ dress at. the final session of the Inter¬ national Conference of Liberal Jews here, in the course of which Mr. Monte¬ fiore warned ; against too reconciliatory anattitude oh the part of Liberal j'uda- ism toward Orthodoxy.
.Addressing the Conference during the discussion which took. place before the closing of the session, Mr. Montefiore daclared: . "\Ve need to be washed aijainst the danger of hcing.too recon¬ ciliatory to Orthodoxy. If I had not felt that'there was a profound diiference between Liberalism ,; and .Orthodoxy I would not .have given my^ whole life for' Liberalism.. .
¦ '¦!;recognize the-greatness of Ortho¬ doxy in the same.way that I recognize, the greatness of Buddism aiid Moham¬ medanism," Mr. Montefiore said:. "Re- feri;ing to his;,attitude to Christianity, Mr. Montefiore stated, "L am considered a heretic, even in my,own movenient,;. regarding niy dpihions ori/ Christianity. But I believe that ultimately, Liberal Judaism will have to 1 come ^o a clear understanding regarding the teaching of Christ.""; .   -  ¦' ¦'';.. '¦'¦¦¦:'   < ./¦
The changes brought about in Jewish life by the return.of the Jews to agri¬ culture were disbussedby Dr; Maurice Harris of New York, who also spoke at the final session of the Conference. De¬ scribing thc back-to-tlie-Iand , moyement among the Jews in the United States; Russia, Argentine; Palestine and other Countries, Dr. Harris Urged the need of .co-pperatioh between the Orthodox and Li'beral Jews fbr the purpose of strengthening the : religious spirit and raising! the Jewish ethical standard,
The -modification or substitution of ceremonials in Judaism without defeat¬ ing its essential power was urged by Dr. Rfjsenau, "Ceremonials come . and go, but Judaism remains," Dr. Rosenan stated.. "Many cereriwnies in the Jewish religion are primarily not Jewish but Babylonian and Persian and also bear the impress of the influencq of. the Catholic Church. We Liberals insist on the modification or substitution of those, ceremonies which, lost their pristine power, provided this process does not defeat  Jewish aims," he-concluded.

, Mr, Brown's statement is a reply to nccusatioiis liurled again?t hinV person-' ally and as Chairman of the United Jewish Cainp.lign by Louis.Lipsky. Presi¬ dent of the ;Zi6i)ist' Organization, of .\merica, at. the,c;onvention of that body held in Eufifalo the .latter end of'June and ill a.public statement issued by him ;. shortly thereafter.
Oflicial Statement
The statement issued by Br. Brown,   ; containing this charge, is as'follows: .   "Under pressure from many, friends throughoiit the country  who are, insist-¦ ent.that I make some reply to the vi¬ cious attack raiide upon me as national chairman .of-the .United  Jewish   Cam¬ paign by Louis Lipsky and others'at the Buffalo convention ofthe Zionists arid a'»ain iii Mr.. Lipsky's ,reply lo the state- r nieiit of the Joint pistrJbution Commit-: tee, I feel that the! fpljowing. statement will'cover all that I wish'to say at this . time: .   ' '¦¦,- ..';   ¦'
."Following the announcement of the^ United Jewish Campaign in May,. Ifi2.5, ', the Zionist Organization of , America, ^through its officers represented to me'; and to Mri. Felix M: Warburg, chair¬ man of the joint Distribution Commit¬ tee, that our.campaign would make it. impossible for the Zionist Organization to crtllect. its funds in -America in the face of a campaign ttie size .of ours.., They, asked that 'the United Je\yish Campaign guarantee to them any deficit which" the Keren Hayesod (Palestine Foundatiori Fund) might have on, the : theory that our effort might compete . with theirs; Both Mr. Warburg and I, mee'ting with these committees separate¬ ly, attempted ^to show, them, first, the impossibility of our, making any secret agreement with, the Zionist, Qrganiza^ tion whereby any deficit in their then three-million-dollar campaign would be met with the fuiuU raised, for. Eastern and Central Enro'pe and Russian Euro¬ pean relief and reconstruction work; arid, sjecond,. that they were under-csti- mating the giving possibilities and. thc generous,   impulses    of    the   Jews    of
America.. ;' "'¦ .,  ¦'¦-.¦'' ^ '
s Attack Began ."At these meetings, some of which were held in New York City and others at niy Detroit office, the Zionist Organi¬ zation was represented by those in au¬ thority at that time. Shortly after our refusal to meet their demands the. at^ tack on part of our program began in New, York.'.and in other sections of-. America. The Phila.delphia Conference last, September at which the United Jewish Campaign was launched is now past history, and the continuous attack ori mc personally after that conference in every part ' of the United States by leaders and paid employees of the Ziou'- ist Organization is all a matter of record in the files of the United Jewisli Campaign. .       ;  .
