A Xmas Gift
The best Jewish-Cliristnias slory comes to rnc from Jewisli Publisher Bloch. Antl U hai>ijens to be a i>erfectly unsyntlietiL story.
It was about three weeks before Christinas that a Jew came into Bloch's looking for a certain rathw fancy "Sicldur" (prayer-hook to you).
.Bloch did not have it in stock, but as¬ sured the good Jew (for who but good Jews buy prayer-books) that he would get it for him, \
"All right," said tlic customer, "but be sure to get it at once for I want jt for a Christmas present."
The Oldest Jewish Book Store Mr. Bloch, by the way,, was seventy years young the other day, and the Free Synagogue Executive Council gave him a. dinner to celebrate the occasion.
That was a good idea—for to the average Jew, the name Bloch has comt to be so much a synonym of Jewish pub lishing and book selling that lie forgets that there is a living person behind it And Mr. Bloch is very much living, de¬ spite the alleged weight of sev.enty years He attributes his youthfulness to a rare cause, "overwork." :\\_ From nine to seven every day, Bloch IS at his shop, as his elders were before him—since IS')1.
Bloch And iBaac M. Wise 18j41 That's a long time ago, Six years before Lincoln was president, there was already a Jewish book store m. America. Lincoln,' himself, for all one may know, may have read of the books—at- least a Bible sold by Bloch, for Bloch is a nephew of Isaac M. Wise, who wa.s a fretjuent visitor at the White House when Lincoln was president.
Lincoln, his law' partner said, wa.i not a great reader, as readers are reckoned these.days. Nor was he a great reader, even as Thomas Jefferson or James Madison was. But Lincoln did read the Bible. His addresses are all saturated with the Bible.
Masters And Lincoln . I do not sympathize with the general trend of Edgar Lee Masters ih his .at¬ tack on Lmeoln, hut in one thing, Mas¬ ters is surely right. Masters continually ^lls Lincoln the "Hebraic-Puritan." Constantly, he throws that term at him, as a reproach. Well, 1 think Lincohi ,wa:s "Hebraic-Puritan" too, but I see no reproach in it. It was that, rather, which constituted his greatness, and if Masters were to analyze better his own mental proccsshig, he.would perforce ad¬ mit it hirnself.
_ For Masters himself, while attacking ,. Lincoln on all sides, stands in awe at the First Inaugural Address, the Gettysburg address, nnd other of the presidential ut¬ terances.. And it was just the-ic things which were parainountly Hebraic-Puri' tan. Masters prefers the Greek spirit.
I dare say, any child reading the First inaugural would proclaim that it was more indebted to the Hebraic-Puritan than to the Greek spirit. And even Mr. Master.s does not attempt to deny dis¬ tinction to the First Inaugural When Ochs Married But we were talking about Mr. Bloch. Let's go back to him. I said, lie is a nephew of the late Isaac M.Wise, which must make him a relation of Adolph S. Ochs, a cousin, to be exact. ' ,.
Bloch reminisced the other day on the years long ago, when Ochs and Bloch were young men.
"Do yoil remember when Ochs was married?" I asked.
^ "Yes," he replied, "and the most vivid image that comes to my mind of the event after so many years is that of-a lady smoking.
"You may think the mo<Iern girls in¬ vented smoking, but this lady way back in those years at a/wcddini celebration wafe sht'mfx and openly smoking a cigar. She was the wife of a rabbi, too—Mrs. Sonnenschein.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the anticipated big prograin for the grand installation of ihe newly elected oflicers of Zion Lodge No. (12, B'nai B'rith, next Monday evening at the East Hnjail Street Temple, hatl to be revised to some degree. Richard Gudstadt, N.itional Director of
Robert L. Mellman
B'nai Il'rith Membership Bureau, who was to have been the chief speaker for thi.s evening, found it impossible to at¬ tend. -Mso due to the fact that the Cahtor-Jessel performance. is i^cheduled for the same evening at Memorial Hall, the anticipated turn-out for these instal¬ lation exercises will no doubt be c*'insid- erably affected.
Tlie officers of Zion Lodge, therefore, deemed it advisable to make the program as short as iiossible. as to jiermit B'nai IVritli niembers and their friends, who desire to'attend the George Jessel Show, to do so. The meeting will therefore start.promptly at 7 ;15 p. m. The fbUow- iiig ofiicers will be installed by E. J. Schanfarber, past president of District No. '2: Robert Mellman, president; Harry Scliwarti!, vice-president; Dr. Ralph Jaffee, .secretary: Joseph.C.

Victor Chenkin, Jan. 14
Outstanding Jewish Artist to Appear
At Memorial Hall Thursday
Evening
The sptinsoring of the iorthcoming euncert of Victor Chenkin; the famous Jewish singing actor, at Memorial Hall, I hursday evening, Jan. llth ^ by the Co- lumbu-'i Section, Council of Jewish Juniors, reveals a gesture ou the part of this group of j'bung women to aid in the charitable upkeep of the Tuherculosis Preventorium, which has as yet not been included in the Comniunity Chest Fund.
At this hospital, your child or friend's child may he treated, free of charge. But naturally, this expense must be taken cure of, for time and ejort is demanded for the treatment uf this disease. So when you buy a seat from this group, you not onl\ hear the greatest Jewish artist on the Ainerican platform today, who is creating a furore in all of his eastern engagements, but you aid in the i>reserva- tirm of life, and abet the Hannah Sol¬ omon Scholarship fund.
New York critics state that his emo¬ tional eflfect upon an audience is tremen¬ dous. \ Tears flow freely during the scene of the old Jewish patriarch and when he does the tipsy scene to the tune of Bam Bam, the whole house chuckles'though amaze<l at this genius,
The following proy.rain will be sung and acted at Memorial Hall Thursday excniiig, Jan. 14tli, M, Zlatin, the ac¬ companist, ih a inabter of the keyboard and is always received magnificently by the audience.

MrH. Wm; Gumble and Mrs. Eva
Frosh Lehmann in Charge
of Program
\o event of tlie present seas'on has been discussed and looked forward to with keener anticipation than the pro¬ gram to he given by the MacDowell Club Jmiiors, Tuiisday, Jan. 12th, at two o'clock P., M., before the Rose E: Laz¬ arus Sisterhood of the Bryden Road Temple.
"Reciprncity Day" is the theme used in the scheme of entertainment to convey the idea of a Reciprocity meeting be¬ tween the two organizations, the Sister¬ hood and MacDowell Club Jrs.
.\ similar program was given by Mrs. Eva Frosh Lehmaiin in Pittsburghy using her own play, *'We Must Have System'' and the Kinder Symphony of ^ Haydn presented in unique form by an orchestra of fifteen pieces, all niembers of the Mac¬ Dowell Club Juniors of that city.
At the invitation of Victor Saudek of Station KDKA, the Kjnder Symphony was given twice ih one evening an. honor never given to any radio performance before, and niiie different appearances in one season.
Mrs. William Gumble, who with Mrs. Lehmann has directed the sca.son's ac¬ tivities, will again act in the capacity of playwright.
: From Mrs. Gumble's pen comes a very clever p]a\'. a travesty on a clulji meeting called "Reciprocity Day." It is scintil¬ lating and smacks of those humorous incidents which may hapiK'ii in any or¬ ganization. The cast for the playlet will be the officers of the MacDowell Ciub Juniors steppin;.; out of their usual seri¬ ous and very parliamentary form to bur¬ lesque Mrs. Gumble's lines. This is fol- lov^ed imnifdiately by a short number for two pianos; the performers, Miss Mar¬ jory Frosh and Evelyn Levin; after which Interlocutor One, Miss Sylvia La- vine; and Interlocutor Two. Miss Gene Mae Kobacker, introduces in a most unique manner the, Kinder Symphony, with Mrs. Eva Frosh Lehmann as con¬ ductor..
The soloist, David Drucker, the twelve year old cornetist who has re* ccntly come to Columhus from New York, will give one number, with. Miss Lillian Lcvinc's violin obligato. Master Drucker has appeared with great success in one of our local theaters, and before coming to Columbus appeared at Roxy's in New York City.

OHIO, JANUARY 8, 1932 Pel* Year $3.00; Per Copy loc By the Way By David Schwartz B'nai B'rith Lodge to Hold Installation Exercises Mon¬ day Evening A Xmas Gift The best Jewish-Cliristnias slory comes to rnc from Jewisli Publisher Bloch. Antl U hai>ijens to be a i>erfectly unsyntlietiL story. It was about three weeks before Christinas that a Jew came into Bloch's looking for a certain rathw fancy "Sicldur" (prayer-hook to you). .Bloch did not have it in stock, but as¬ sured the good Jew (for who but good Jews buy prayer-books) that he would get it for him, \ "All right" said tlic customer, "but be sure to get it at once for I want jt for a Christmas present." The Oldest Jewish Book Store Mr. Bloch, by the way,, was seventy years young the other day, and the Free Synagogue Executive Council gave him a. dinner to celebrate the occasion. That was a good idea—for to the average Jew, the name Bloch has comt to be so much a synonym of Jewish pub lishing and book selling that lie forgets that there is a living person behind it And Mr. Bloch is very much living, de¬ spite the alleged weight of sev.enty years He attributes his youthfulness to a rare cause, "overwork." :\\_ From nine to seven every day, Bloch IS at his shop, as his elders were before him—since IS')1. Bloch And iBaac M. Wise 18j41 That's a long time ago, Six years before Lincoln was president, there was already a Jewish book store m. America. Lincoln,' himself, for all one may know, may have read of the books—at- least a Bible sold by Bloch, for Bloch is a nephew of Isaac M. Wise, who wa.s a fretjuent visitor at the White House when Lincoln was president. Lincoln, his law' partner said, wa.i not a great reader, as readers are reckoned these.days. Nor was he a great reader, even as Thomas Jefferson or James Madison was. But Lincoln did read the Bible. His addresses are all saturated with the Bible. Masters And Lincoln . I do not sympathize with the general trend of Edgar Lee Masters ih his .at¬ tack on Lmeoln, hut in one thing, Mas¬ ters is surely right. Masters continually ^lls Lincoln the "Hebraic-Puritan." Constantly, he throws that term at him, as a reproach. Well, 1 think Lincohi ,wa:s "Hebraic-Puritan" too, but I see no reproach in it. It was that, rather, which constituted his greatness, and if Masters were to analyze better his own mental proccsshig, he.would perforce ad¬ mit it hirnself. _ For Masters himself, while attacking ,. Lincoln on all sides, stands in awe at the First Inaugural Address, the Gettysburg address, nnd other of the presidential ut¬ terances..
