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.” SEARCHING THE JUNGLE IN THE INTEREST OK SCIENCE (Continued from Page 5) water on account of malaria.

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.
