ZIONTS T0 SEEK PEACE WITH ARABS Council Goes on Record ™ Favor of “Durable” Pales- tine Understanding. By the Associated Press. i BASEL, Switzerland, July ll—‘flle| Council of the Jewish Agency for Pales- tine yesterday went on record unaimous- 1y as having a “sincere desire for the creation of a durable understanding be- tween Jews and Arabs in Palestine on the basis of mutual confidence lnd‘ respect.” The resolution declared it is the council's conviction that “Jews and Arabs have a common interest in the peaceful development of Palestine.” In the same resolution the council instructed its executive to continue its work “for the establishment under the mandate of harmonious relations be- tween. Jews and Arabs based on the acceptance by both parties of the prin- ciple that nelthzr 1s to dominate or to b2“dominated. “we#The council also unanimously ap- proved a resolution protesting against the difficulties attaching to Jewish land purchases in Palestine. Jewish immi- gration to Palestine and the employment of Jewish labor on public works despite assurances contained in Premier Mac- Donald’s Jetter. ‘The action of the eouncil's repre- sentatives in the negotiations which led to the MacDonald letter also was ap- roved. This document was character- Y d “as a basis for further discussions of the Jewish Agency with the manda- Yory power to the effect of implement- ing the assurances to the Jewish people contained in the letter and the creation of such conditions as will insure the uninterrupted development of the Jew- h national home.” hA special effort to ralse $1.000,000 in order to meet the extraordinary finan- eial position in which the executive of the Jewish Agency finds itself was de- cided upnn the Jewish Tclegraph Agen ports. Th: uf! rtpelbefl threat of the Zionist Revisionists that they would secede from the world organization, in the event their demands were not met, yesterday created a breach in the ranks of the Re- Visionist party.

W the parlors Molly inquired about Juanita. She had watched the pantomime at the roulette table, particu- Thrlv after Juanita had gone to her oom. Divitt usually came over to the ge during the evening, keeping in touch with what was going on. Tonl'hl he secmed to be avoiding her. Moll: was troubled by this, linking it witl Juanita's disposition and his subse- quent interview with Ledbetter and Fouche. The interview had been a smiling affair, and Divitt had at once to explain to make light. Then Ledbetter had written a note, Gabreau had gone out with it. Gabreau explained now, and Molly was relieved The incident had nothing to do, she saw, with Divitt’s avoidance of her. Molly watched Gabreau take his sta tion between the two front windows. The evening wore on. Few were left in the room beside tiie group at the roulette wheel. Kirk Stanard leaned over Mrs. Beiaise, apparently saying that they must leave. Mrs. Belaise shook her head, laid down & coin. Molly saw Divitt look at Gabreau. Gabreau came slowly from his sta- tion against the wall. Slowly he passed along the group at the roulette wheel, very slowly behind Mrs. Belaise's chair. Molly, watching, saw Mrs. Belaise's painted shawl brushed to the floor. | Kirk Stanard bent to pick it up, but Gabreau had paused and now placed it carefully about the lady’s shoulders as if in apology for having brushed it from the chair. Then he went on and took his station against the wall. Kirk Stanard had persuaded Belaise to leave. As she rose something | glittering slipped down her white dress | to the floor. She stood protesting while Kirk folded the painted shawl more clusely about her and led her out, fol- | lowed by Ledbetter and Fouche, the bright thing that had slipped down her dress lying under the roulette table. Divitt bowed them out, returning to the deserted wheel, where Gabreau was putting things to rights. When they | came away the bright thing that had been under the table was gone. The last players were leaving. Divitt | and Gabreau began to clear the tables Divitt glanced at Molly, a little bright p\td bird, watching from her cage. “Get to bed, kid,” he sald. She came out, closing and locking the gilded door. As she passed him, she touched his sleeve. a little unspoken | of the latter class, in the absence of | “good night” to which he rnpended with & nod. Molly had reached the door of her room when the gate bell rang. In the dark of the court she watched Gabreau | answer it. Stanard entered, hurried | into the parlors where Divitt was put- ting out the lights. “Mrs. Belaise has lost something, #aid. “I'd like to see 1f it's here. Divitt switched on the lights. “She was nowhere but the roulette wheel,” he remarked, and drew back the cover. He and Kirk looked underneath. “It was her necklace” Kirk llld ;hen “She didn't miss it till she got me." “You looked in the car, of course?” Divitt asked. Kirk nodded. “We've looked in every plausible place—hurriedly, of course. She knows she had it on while she was | playing. She remembers fingering it.” “She probably loosened it then. I'll have Gabreau look on the sidewalk. Walt till T get my flash.” Kirk and Gabreau went out on the sidewalk, Divitt going fust with his| flash. They returned presently, Divitt offering his condolences. * dislike such thinks to happen here.” he said. “You will advertise. of course.” “I shall try to get it n tonight,” Kirk answered, and was gone. Molly opened her door, stood for an instant in the dark, then switched on the light at the bed's head. Her coat | and hat lay on the bed. for Molly had been that afternoon to see the doctor, had not got home till time to hurry into the parlors. She gathered them up now—hat and coar—placed them in the armoire. Then she sat down on the bed’s edge. rumpling the satin spread, staring into the dim old room. “It's & hell of a place to bring a bnb) to,” she sald. At noon next day Divitt sent (n' Juanita to come to his office. Divitt's office was directly over the room th!t he shared with Molly. A door had been | cut in the wall that separated it from the Hotel Tijou, making it accessible to either place. No denizen of the| house invaded the upper balcony where | it passed Divitt's office; walked there for' the first time. Here alone Molly's hand was not visible.

Difficulties drove them to prayer. “The multitude of them that believed” under the leadership of the Holy Spirit real- ized their oneness. They were a united, compact, and consecrated independent body, free from the direction of the great council, with “one heart and soul.” The opposition failed to disturb the strong sense of brotherhood that leveled -u inequalities of wealth, for the mem- bers pooled their resources, so that they had all things common. Flint has pointed out that this com- munity of goods was the seed of social- ism. The ethics of most forms of mod- ern socialism differ from that of the eatly Christians, because they lack the i spiritual tie which characterized the Apostolic Church. In practicing community of goods they were follow- ing the example of the Essenes, the one religious sect of Jews With whom Jesus never clashed. “In Egypt there was a Jewish sect called the Therapeutal whose members disposed of all their jons before they united with the sect. Apostolic College and their gifts to the poor were disposed by Judas, who served them as treasurer, Kidd has pointed out how the re- ligion of Jesus has been the principal factor in_the development of civiliza- tion. Batk of the charitable program of every modern city or community one can trace the influence of the practice of the early church in their cape for the widows and orphans. Aristides re- ported to the Emperor Hadrian the Chrut\lm benevolence of that period. “They rescue the orphan from him who does him violence, and he who has | gives to him who has not, without | | grudging. And if there is & man among | them who is poor or needy and they | have not the abundance of necessaries, | they fast two or three days that they may supply the needy with their neces- sary food.” Probably the punishment ‘Ananias and Sapphira, who tried to re the favor of the church by pre- tending that they were giving their all, | when they had kept back part of the proceeds from the sale of their property, God proposed to keep His church clean. The gifts to the church were all volun- tary, not compulsory. This beautiful feature of the life of the Jerusalem church was not continued in other churches.

Among the thousands who had united with the mother church in Jerusalem at Pentecost and afterward were many Jews of the dispersion. Then, as now, the Hebrews were the most exclusive and the most widely dispersed people among the nations. They were the representatives of the true God among the pagan races of that day. Although there existed scme antagonism between the Palestinian Jews and the HeHenistic | ones, yet the latter were generous givers, as the Hebrew race has always been not only to their own but to all faiths, especially to the temple. Some of the prejudice of the home Jews against the Hellenists was found in the early church. Their experience and l'du(‘llk]n gave them a position of in- "Auence among the members of the first haps caused the Apostles to pay notice to the “murmurings” that threatened to divide the membership, because the Hellenists complained about the ne- glect of the Hellenistic widows in the distribution of the relief funds. The Apostles proposed to the church that they select seven deacons. who would take over the care of the poor, so that the 12 could devote their whole at- tention to preaching the Gospel. The election resulted in the cholce of Hellonists to take charge of the administration _of the relief work of the church.

On the up the members of that important Gen- tile church to give generously to help support the poor in the Jerusalem church. He cited the example of the Macedonians, who had already made, a year previous, their gifts to assist the church in Jerusalem to bear their burden in caring for the poor. He this | planned to have representatives from the Gentile churches carry the gifts from these churches to the Jerusalem brethren, as an evidence of their broth- erly love and Christian fellowship. He told the Corinthian church tI g:e di not desire any member of the Macedon- ian congregation, who might be with him, when he came to find that they had to make up the offering for the poor after. the Apostle arrived. He evidently had spoken to the Macedon- fans so highly about the liberality of the Corinthians that the Apostle sug- gests ‘that he did not desire to be ashamed of them and their method of providing generously for the relief of the poor in Jerusalem. ‘The fact that the Jerusalem church required assistance in its social service would indicate that there is a serious danger in giving dole to the poor. It takes away one's independence and should not be adopted except in emer- gencies. Many economists have pointed out th® logical peril that socialism and communism are apt to produce. There is no danger in generous giving for the relief of the distress among the na- tions. If we fail to consider the needs of others, we will reap what we sow. At the moment, while-we may criticize France, we must remember that Ger- manv is reaping the results of the War of 1870 as well as the brunt of suffer- ing that fell not only upon Belgium, but also France, in the World War. ‘The world's greatest need at this mo- |ment is the spirit of brotherhood, born of falth in Christ Jesus, which was ex- hibited by the church in Jerusalem and Corinth. Social service of & missionary pro- viding rellef from suffering through 4he lack of food, through the digging of canals, was the forerunner of the great ingathering in Ongole, India, when thousands made their profession of faith in Christ Jesus. Social service played a prominent part in the pro- gram of those Christian democrats who tried to win Germany for Christ 400 vears ago. If they had succeeded, the World War would never have been fought and we would not today be suf- fering any industrial depression. A new note is being sounded in the business | world by men who have caught the vision of brotherhood and social serv- ice. Great corporations should not exist merely, they contend, for the purpose of paying dividends to the stockholders, for they point out that the workin, man ought to have a share. The old age pension, sick relief and the various forms of modern industrial social serv- ice reflects the influence of the early church that carrfed the principle of love iito the affairs of the church and |serves as our guide today in solving the problems of the present hour. Let us not forget how Jesus taught that “to give is happier than to get,” and become hilarious givers for His glory, the development of His kingdom. the spread of the gospel of brotherhood and love among all nations.
