CITY AND COUNTY DEPOSITORY THE JEWISH LIBRARY. Leo Jung. MacMillan & Company. Ross Avenue & Akard Street. Dallas, Tex as. $2.50. “The destruction of the Holy City, the ruin of the House of God, the dispersion of the Chosen People into all the kingdoms of the earth, and their continued existence as a nation, notwithstanding every attempt to ex terminate them or to compel them to forsake those ordinances which dis tinguish them to this very day from all other nations, is emphatically one of the strongest evidences we can have to the truth of the Bible. The annals of the world do not contain anything so remarkable in human experience, so greatly surpassing hu man power and human prescience.” It was a fourth century Christian church father named Jerome who could write that. Whence was this courage derived? As always in the past, from the To rah, the final collapse of all hopes of a resurrected state in Judaea led to the concentration of the energies of the Jewish people upon the systemat ic study of the divine Revelation. It became the sum and substance of all of their activities. To dig down into the mines of the Torah and bring up its treasures, to unfold its deepest thoughts and apply them to their vi cissitudes, to draw life-giving encour agement from the inspired visions of the prophets—all these occupations filled the mind and the heart of the harassed Jew to such a degree, that they helped him to forget the misery of his material lot. The Jewish Li brary has been edited and written to assist the Twentieth Century Ameri can Jew to become more fully ac quainted with the riches bequeathed to him by these innumerable noble successors. CONTINUE CAMPAIGN AGAINST SCHECHITA IN AUSTRIA Not Biblical Commandment, News paper Argues Vienna, (J. T. A.).—The campaign against the schechita, the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food, is being continued by the “Wien er Tageszeutung”, anti-Semitic daily In an article devoted to the question the newspaper asserts that the Jewish people are misleading the world by claiming that their schechita is a re. ligious duty imposed by the Old Testa ment. Under this claim they hide “a practice which is cruel and sadis tic.” The “Tageszeitung” quotes the opinion which it claims to have ob tained from a Rabbi L. Stein of Frank fort, that the schechita is not a bibli cal command but rests merely on tra dition. The Mosaic law does not in dicate anywhere that incision in the throat of an animal is compulsory or that the flesh of animals otherwise killed is forbidden. GIRL, CONVERTED TO CATHOLI CISM WHILE A MINOR, ORDERED TO GO HOME Father Meets Missing Daughter on Lemberg Street, Refuses to Let Her Go Lemberg (J. T. A.)—Meeting his daughter, Fanny, who had been miss ing for two years, on one of the streets of Lemberg, accompanied by two nuns, Ephraim Promis refused to let her go, causing his and her own arrest by the police on a charge of disorderly conduct. At the police station a stirring dra ma was revealed in the explanations of the prisoners. The girl, who was a servant, disappeared two years ago. All search failed to locate her. During this period, it was revealed, Fanny had been kept in a Catholic convent, where she was converted. Now, con fronted by her father, she declared that she prefers to go back to the con vent. Frantically the father appealed to Deputy Reich, representative from Galicia in the Polish Sejm, who in turn appealed to the State Attorney. The State Attorney ordered the pris oners’ release without further charge and directed the girl to return to her home, as her conversion while she is still under legal age, cannot be recog nized. C.
