very successful one, chiefly O\ving to the ·weaknes of the committee. OnlY a few members had 'Wo.rked systematically throughoi1t the whole time, the others having dropped out after the first few meetings. He urged the member::; to elect a small but strong com- mitte "·ho would conscientiouslv carrv out the work entrusted to them. Th ' hon. tre'asurer', l\fr. M. Jaffe, in mo Ying the adoption of tb e balance sheet, spoke in the same strain. J\Ir. l\I. S. Aaron, 'rho addressed th meeting, deplor d the state of affairs he found ex:sting in the ·ociety, and delivered a stirring appeal to the Jews of Doornfontein, th c Jewish suburb of Johannes- burg, to 'vake up, and take their Zionit:im seriously.
After furtlier discussion, the follo.\ving were elected :-President, l\Ir. A. Kirson; vice-president, fr. H. Weiner; bon. trerumrer, 1\Ir. M. Jaffe; hon.

After the business of the meeting was concluded l\fr. H. Kroomer took the chair and introduced Dr. J.
Harte, ·who delivered a very interesting lecture on the subj cct, " ] s Zionism supplanting the Jewish religion? ·'
He nwntioned tbat in his opinion Judaism was gradually losing ih; hold on the Jewis~ people, and with some it was, to a certain extent, bemg supplanted b:v the nationalist ideal. He went on to say that it
":as quite true that the J e\,·s formed not merely a reli(Tious communitv, but also a nation. The national ide~ was not a ne,~· one. The hope for the ultimate return to the land of our fathers had existed long in the heart of I rael, and for many centuries was prob- ably the greate. t factor in keeping alive the sense 0£
union amongst the J ewi h people. As long as orthodox Judaism retained its undisputed way the love for Zion would be supreme in the consciousness of the Jew. The lecturer insisted that every Jew worthy of that name 'vas a Zionist, irrespective of his differences with others. But, he said, there wa a tendency among. t Zionist towards a form of liberal Judaism, in which every Jew was a law unto h;mself. If reform
"·as n eded. it should be left to those in authority to bring about a universal reform, for there was a

Dr. Harte, in conclu ·ion, said that he beli ved it would be well if Zionism \Yorked more in concord with orthodoxy; if it helped to foster the belief in tho laTI'S of our forefathers and the maintenance of our ancient rites. " W c are pa sing through a grave eris.is; let us not for ake the ship that has weathered the storm for us so valiantlv. ''
~\..fter the lecture the~·e was much discussion, several members of the audience participating, ·whilst Mr. Kroemer, from the chair, also gave his views on the subject.
