"leading lighLs" having visited Europe on Jioliclay visits. With their return, how- ever, t.he Society i. ng<tin commencing to l iYe llp to its reputation as a model society.
The new ses ion commenced on Sunday ev ning, the 31Rt ult., with the aununl general meeting. The pre. iclential, fmnn- cial and cultural reports covered the pre- viou: . ession >ery comprehen. ively and left 110 doubt that the Society, although it.
had been inactiYe for some time, was still in a healthy conclilion, nnancinlly rrnd otherwise.
Mr. Alex. Oomny re~irtlcl as ebairman nncl in hi8 ·peech mentioned the necessity of the yow1ger members taking over duties in the Community. :!\Ir.

These inter-functions are held annually and serve lo cement the bonclx thnt bind the Jewi ·h communities in the South- Weslern Districts.
During the evening the lady m mbe1·i;
rliRcussed the plans of the projeC'ted com- m unnl hnlJ.
(Continued from Fint Column).
The lecturer pointed out that the first two L.}'.pes are not typically Jewish react- ions but that the last form repre ents the Lraditional Jewish reaction. He f~lt that we should seriously consider rfierti.ng to orthodox traditional Judaism not for any sentimental rea ons but olely ns a cure for the state of mind of the modern Jew.
This reaction is apparently tuki11g place in om· own midst and in the next generation we should see the revival of the prestige of Lhe Je\Yish teacher, student and indivi- dual virtuous mun. The revfral of interest in J ewiRh culture ifi the onl.v form. of posi- tive reaction to anti-Remitism.
.Member of lhe audience participated in a keen discussion of the subject and the l cttu·er replied to Lhe vurious question -.
The meeting concluded witli ti ,;ote of lhanks by the ehuirinau to l he lectmer.
