little speeches, the heads of the dif- ferent sections of the non-European community expressed their thank"' and their trust in his continued

• championship in the future. For th~ last twenty years, one speaker .. aid, no meeting of Indians had been complete without the presence of

~fr. Alexander. They had frequent- ly called upon him to speak at the last moment: but he had never dis- appointed them either in the matter or the manneT of his speeches. In reply Mr. Alexander briefly outlined the huge strides by which the col- oured races had progressed. He indicated his ideal of a country in which there were equal opportuni- ties for all sections of the commun- ity irrespective of race_, creed, or colour. " The voicele s and voteless people-it is the e I \rnnt to help."

GEORGE ROBEY ON THE

JEWS.

Quite surprisingly George Robey appeared at close quarter as a rather tall, broad-shouldered man, with a florid complexion and grey hair.

Again quite surprisingly he display- ed an alarming tendency to be philosophical about the Jews. At fir1<t, I thought he was joling, and laughed. Fortunately, before I had time to gI'O'W serious,· he did become flippant and so I continued to laugh.

George Robey finds Jews very appre- ciative ·and he says they make the best audiences. "Any theatre where .Jews don't come-God help it." Strangely enough, Mr. Robey has studied Hebrew· and Arabic languages, having intended at one time to take up a post as engineer in Eai::t Africa. He Rpeaks Yiddish so well that I asked whether he had any .T ewi h blood. in li.im. " I must have to have earned the money that I have done." ''But," he continued,

" I certainly should have made more if I had had J ewiRh blood.'' George Robey related some of his inimitable stories and then perpetrated the biggest joke of all. He showed me Ms latest book,, "What Men Know Abont Women," by F. E. Male, The Catch of the Season. I opened the hook to glance at its contents. On the pages was printed-absolutely nothing. The heartiest laugher was George Robey.

1,HE CROSSING OF THI~

RED SEA.

The eoming \reclnesday ,rill he the seYenth day of PaRsover. In the reaning of thr t;ynagogue Exodu:, chapter 19, Yer8en 22 and 29, are as follows: "And the chil- dren o:f Israel went unto the midst of the sea upon the dry ground ; and the ·waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea: and the water.-- were a wall unto them on their right hand. "

Once more we celebrate the great festival of freedom and again we read about the miraculou departure from Egypt. Some of the 11abbi;.;

found it difficult to explain the dif- ference in the above two verse . In one ver e we read '' that the children of I. rael went into the midst of the sea upon the dty ground, while in the next verse we read that the chil- dren of Israel walked upon the dry land in the midst of the sea."

Jn accordance \Vith the nfidraRh the tribe of Judah was the first to attempt the crossing of the Red Sea before it was diYided~ and it was onl.v when God saw how ready the tribe of ,Judah w<is to offer its lik that He caused the sea to divide. It seems that the children of Israel consisted of two cla. ses. One claRs was prepared to die for its principle, and therefore maTchrd into the Rea before they saw dry land .. while the others waited until the dry lancl w::i.

Reen ancl then marched across.

Times have not changed much.

We have still in our midst a great number of tho~e ·who think of safety fir, i. They' are not prepnred to sacrifice their liYcs for the great principles of our nation, and if it were not for the few enthusiasts in om· midst, who are alway ready to contribute of their be t to t.hc ca.use of the nation, we as a people, would haye disappeared long ago.

Doan's Backache Kidney Pills have stood the test and stood it well. Why experiment with untried medicine.

People in Johannesburg have proved how lastingly this special kidney

~edicine relieves backache, urinary disorder, gravel, rheumatism, dropsy and other symptoms of kidney com- plaint. Read Mr. Meecham's story.

On 15th ~eplember, 1914, Mr. G.

H. Meecham, 44, Ferreira Street, Turff ontein, Johannesburg, Trans- vaal, said: " Lumbago troubled me for some years. At times I was in bed with it. I was quite stiff and scarcely able to turn. I could not bend down. Nearly four years ago I had a severe attack, which lasted for a month. I used Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pil Is, and they gave me wonderful relief. Within a fortnight I was able to get about and resume my work."

On 22nd May, 1928, Mr. Meecham said: "Doan's Pills did me good. I would use nothing else for backache.

-(Signed) G. H. Meecham."

Ask distinctly for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, the same as Mr.

Meecham had. Sold by all dealer·, 3/3 a box. Sole Proprietors, Foster- McCleIIan Co., Box 1297, Cape Town.
