of "The Chosen People" in

In this,- new novel of the Jews In
the I'nited States a brilliant youmr
rsbbl of liberal views Is called to take
charge of the largest anit most fash
ionable synasogui; in lialtimore. His
congregation is almost entirely made
up of wealthy Jew,s of Orman de
scent. They are comfortable in their
gold and in their faded, rather un
orthodox Jewism. The hero, the rabbi,
is a great preacher and attempts to
awaken his congregation to an ap
preciation of the spiritual.
The f!rft part of the book deals with
the sucking of the young man into the
very same comfortable, prideful and
well established viewpoint as that
held by his congregation. The agencies
that bring this about are his pride and
the feminine, worshipful element.
One of his main Ideas is the neces
sity for the spiritual union of all Jews.
By a free thinking cynical Jew named
Gordon he it,- made to realize that his
talk is mostly "smooth stuff" as he
o..iol.. i ,nh ih. ri,h t, Ma:
nothing of the great hordes of Rus-
sian Jews, 'dwellers in the slums of
the ea&t side. The rabbi now starts
to study Yiddish in hopes that the
language will gain him access to the
hearts of this poorer element.
The rabbi's struggle is brought to a
climax ,by a strike of the clothing
operators, Russian Jew girls. In the
employ of Kahn. a rich German Jew,
and president of the rabbi's own syna
gogue. He appreciates that his talk
of brotherhood and union has been
swallowed as platitudes. He makes
every effort to bring the two factions
together, but among the riah he dis
covers that business and religion mujt
be kept apart, and among the poor he
finds him&elf suspected and tainted.
The struggle finally is brought to
an end by the force of the banking In
terests who see in its continuance a
blow to the prosperity of Baltimore,
In the final secret conference the em
ployer, Kahn, does not want his name
to come out as bowing to the dictates
of labor; Gordon, the lawyer of the
labor interests, desires his name to be
kept out of it; the bankers do not
think it healthy that they should be
considered as intermediaries, so by
common consent they announce to the
newspapers that the brilliant young
rabbi had brought the warring forces
together. It Is a fine stroke of irony;
the rabbi awakes to find himself fa
mous.
The rabbi incidentally Is in love with
one of the clan of capitalistic German
Jews, and the love, theme runs through
out the tale.

"A clergyman had taught an old
man in his parish to read and found
him an apt pupil. When he called at
the cottage some time after, only th
wife was at home. 'How's John?' he
asked. 'Vary weil, thank you.' "I sup
pose he can read the Bible comforta
bly now?' "Bible, sir? Bless you, he
was out of the Bible and into the
sporting papers long ago!" "
This story related in Everybody's
Illustrates the experience of a public
library in "keeping pace" t.wlth its
readers it can suggest, but cannot
pursue the reading public In its de
vious courses. One method of giving a
certain cohesion to Its suggestion,
however, is in the "lists" compiled on
various subjects. To the mother who
came for guidance as to "when to be
gin to spank the baby which was
developing 'temperament' " lists cn
"Child study" and "For parents" were
found useful. For the hundreds who
are this year becoming "backyard
farmers," lists on agriculture and
gardening may act as f Inger-post.,
Those who expec to "see service''
abroad might be interested in lists of
books In French, Ruesian, Italian anl
other foreign languages.
"Mountaln A'dventures" will attract
the Interest of those who plan a vaca
tion in the wilds. For the serious
minded there Is "The Best Twenty -

years.
Art students, music lovers, business
men, travelers, the dilettante, foreign

serve as "stepping stones" to lead
them to the resources of a great puo-
