How many of you, , f you are true to your own self, ld t like Dr. Faust, make the sad confession: ■ Here 1 stand, poor fool, once more, Not wiser a whit than I was before.” KABBl JACOB S. RAISIN Vet, as Jews, we need not and dare not be weighted down by the burden "f sorrow for things which were left undone, for ideals which still remain unrealized. Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but more especially in the Jewish breast. “Hope in the bird, be of good cheer”, is the eternal message of our faith; “be not af frighted, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest”. So firmly hopeful were our saints and sages in Ie kindness and loving mercy of the bKITlSH POLICE OFFICIALS DIS PROVE ARAB HUMORS THAT JEWs POISONED FOODSTUFFS Jerusalem, (J. T. A.)—Rumors spread among the Arabs that Jews were poisoning candy and fruits, were disproved in dramatic scenes in the • fue of the Jerusalem police district, epor * the Jerusalem correspondents f the London “Daily Chronicle” and I>aily Mail.” An excited crowd of Arabs rushed into the office of Major Harrington, i'eputy Superintendent of the Pales- ne p<d ’ ce » Jerusalem district, bearing * ; th them specimens of the alleged j , cand y- Major Harrington or- k* re ‘' Arabs to gather round while ••tv, 3 * * e SWee ts one by one, saying .Mai?r ,r C . excellent ” Seeing that • arrington was unharmed the derful-'- ef ^ the ° ffice shoutin e> “Won- • he crowd soon dispersed. f;c ' e ( S ‘ m ’! ar sce "e occurred in the of- ■Suncrir,, a i 0r Harrington’s assistant, |f‘ tendent Bey Stanbull, an Arab.

And hope also is the main message of this our sacred season, despite our personal disappointments, notwith standing the cloud of sorrow which has lately overcast the bright sky of our co-religionists on the soil of our Patriarchs and Prophets. Israel re mains unafraid. He lived, he lives and he will live on until, as we are confident, the Kingdom of God will be established on earth, and his self- assumed divine task will be complet ed. But hopeful as we are, we must not be forgetful of our duties as mem bers of the household of Israel. God does not desire the death of the sin ner, but the sinner must return to Him that he may live, such is the assurance of our sacred scripture. And to live is more than simply to number days and months and years by the pleasures we have indulged ourselves in, or by the material pos sessions we have enriched ourselves with. “Let not the strong glory in his strength; let not the wise glory in his wisdom; but let him that glories glory in this, that he knoweth and understandeth Me”, thus sayeth our Prophet in the name of God; and our Proverbs repeat: “The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord”, or, as a modern sage put it: “The soul of education, is the education of the soul”. It was for such a life of wis dom and understanding that Moses our teacher, or whoever composed the ninetieth Psalm, prayed. It is to such a life of wisdom and understanding that we are highly to resolve to ded icate and to consecrate ourselves in the year and years to come. And if this be our resolution we need fear no evil. The Guardian of Israel who has kept faith with us in the past will surely keep faith with us in the fu ture. Aye, He will keep us and He will bless us, and He will cause us to rejoice and be glad all our days. 25 JEWISH STUDENTS REGIS TERED IN MEDICAL COLLEGE OF WARSAW UNIVERSITY Warsaw (J. T.
