life, ethical in purpose and .spiritual
in quality, can be built up.
The office of the Jewish minister
is not so much to iterate verbally the
oneness of Israel's God as to enhance
the worthwhileness and to show forth
the imperishableness of the Jewish
people.
The supreme task of the rabbi in
Israel is to magnify the office of his
people as a seeker of truth for self
and as a hearer of truth unto the peo
ples. Hut Israel, the truth-seeker,
Israel, the spiritual gift-bringer, is
conditioned by the going on of the
.lew, scattered and dispersed it must
he throughout the nations of the world,
hut also unified, concentrated and
consecrated once again as the embodi
ment of the ethical ideals, the social
standards and the spiritual passions
of his people, within the land of Is
rael.
Great is the task, baffling is the
difficulty, tremendous is the chal
lenge, but these are not too great for
the teacher in Israel who remembers
that the great sin of the messenger
of the Lord is “to fear the people
and to obey their voice,” even as the
loftiest virtue of the Jewish priest
of his people and servant of the Lord
is, in the word of the prophet, to pro
claim by lips and by life alike. “I am
an Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, God
of Heaven.”

comfort to the party.
Provisions, including oils, spare
parts, food supplies, were carried in
two 2-ton trucks and two box body
cars, road building equipment, and
bridge building equipment were also
taken along. Besides Mrs Straus and
her grandson the party included
Dudyerd Boulton, orinthologist of the
Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, and
Mrs. Boulton, and the Hon. Denys
Finch-Hatton. They took with them
25 natives. Other natives were em
ployed in the villages when needed.
Two cooks, porters, mechanics and
personal attendants for the party,
made up the group.
“We went up the Nile by train and
boat. In a small boat we went up the
White Nile, traveling for about evelen
days, through terrific heat. Along the
way we saw wonderful birds, croco
diles and hoppopotami. On the White
Nile, we took moving pictures of the
crocodiles at close hand. We went up
the river as far as it is navigible to
Rejaf and Jinja and travelled from
there by motor, camping in rest
camps, living in mud huts with thatch
ed roofs for about two weeks. Then
we came to Lake Victoria, where the
Nile rises. At Owens Falls, where
Lake Victoria flows into the Nile we
studied the birds life. From Jinja we
went to Fort Portal in the mountains
of the Moon, a snow-capped mountain
range on the Belgian Congo border.
Here we saw great herds of ele
phant and buffalo on the Similiki
Plains. We pitched camp and the men
went on Safari (camping trip). One
of the travellers went delirious with
malaria and the white hunter whom
they took with them on Safari was
taken ill with malaria and had to be
carried back to camp on stretchers
made out of tents.”
For five hundred miles the party
drove through trackless plains, cut
ting their own roads through the
brush.
Mrs. Straus first became interested
in the expedition through an inti
mate friend of hers, Carl Akely, one
of the pioneers in the field of African
exploration. Learning that the New
York Museum of Natural History
was greatly desirous of augmenting
its collection of birds from equatorial
Africa. Through her friend, Archi
bald Roosevelt, Mrs. Straus conferred
with Mr. Chapin, head of the African
Department of the Museum, who ex-
pressed his gratitude for Mrs. Straus’
offer to make the expedition and fi
nance it. Copyright 1929 by the J T A
