Jewish Happenings in the Golden City-(Co11t.) JEWISH GUILD.

MEMORIAL HALL HANDED OVER.

The hand~wme building of the J ewi h Guild in Johanne burg is now in the final stages of completion.

On W_ edne day, . the. 0th in tant there was a repr - sentative gathering m the hall of the buildina when the committee respon 'ible for its er ction handed over the club room to the J wish Guild.

. Mr. _B. Gordon, acting president of the Guild paid testimony to the Yaluable services rendered to the institution. by the la. e enator " .... ammy" 1\Iarks, who had upphed the brick n es. ary for the building.

Dr. J. L. Landau, the Chief Rabbi, testified to the need of such an in titution a. the Guild for the furtherance of Jewish ideal . It would be a real national calamity a1~cl ~oral -suicide if the Jews neg- lected to tudy their hterature and national dnties. The Guild had a oreat task before it, and there was no reason wh, in time it should not become the nursery of J wLh thought, culture and education.

1\Ir. B. P. ~Lark , speakina on the "War

~I~morial

a pe_ct, ''

ai~

that the building stood as a

~1vmg _and la bug momtor and reminder of the spirit m which the Jews in 'outh Africa came forward to play their part in tl1e great struggle that begun in 1914.

l\!~1'. ~· >....::Olomon ma~e an earne. t appeal for funds to as .1st m the completion of the building, the cost of which would be .!?35,000. A um of £5,000 wa still i·equired.

The Iayor, ~fr. l\I. .J. Harris, said that he had ,2pent many yeal'S of hi.· life in the intereRt of the 9-uild, which now had OYer 1,500 mcrnlwrl'\, and \rhich, m the near future, \'i·ou1d have 3,000. 'rhere was no effort in local J ewi h activitie, that d served morP support than the Guild.

During the eYening, an excellent mu ical pro- gramme wa._ rnndered bv the Mi es Dora Dorfman Jane Weiner, Rose K~warsky, Mrs. E. Solomon:

l\Ies rs. I. Mirwish, A nbr ;.· Feitelberg, and l\faster George l\lfo .

.Mr. J. Ratzker propo ed hearty Yates of thank

" THE DEBT OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.''

INTERESTING LECTURE BY MR. L. PEKARSKY·

Mr. L. Pekarsk:v, the young Jewish poet who won the B d' Cl ar. ic ia.ir · at tie i · 1 2 92 Johann€ burg Eisteddfod, ' g are 'Id an mterestmg ~ecture to member of the Jewish Gu¹bi on Sunday evemng, July 6th. on the .·ubject of the " De r of English Literature to Judai m." Mr . . B. A. he pre ided over a fair attendance of member. and frielld'f

Th lecturor demon trat d a vcrv ke n knowledge ~ English literature, which, he declared: owed much to Je'1·

and to the Bible .

T~ti gr~ate t Gentile p~Ects, p~1~losophers ^and thinke~f

~ad v1 d with each othe1· m pra1 mg th rich beautJ d 1ts poetry and the grandeur of its me sage. The Bible hll _ been an endle fountain of in piration and had t nor mously influenced the Engli h language. '

. The Engli h ver ion of the Bible had fanned the p:re³{

literary flame that J:iacl kindled it, and haped the speecJ of England. The B1bl , a a. ou~·ce of ~oetic themes ⁸!~c drama, had no equal. It mspired .Wton' '' Para.dl·

Lo t," the greatest ::L well as th longe t poem in

th£

Engl~sh language, and among the five g;rcate t epic ⁰d all time. The other four were Homer' "Iliad ' a.n

"Ody. s0y '' Virgil' "Aeneid,'' and Dante'. "Di-rl.ll~

Comedy.''

Tenn.y on was unable to e cape the spell of the .B!b~~;

and as far a the great0. t of the more modern "'r1t. Ji were con erned, they all went to th Bible or to Je\fh¹

ir

history a the ource of inspiration for plot for t c poems and plays.

In di, cussing the ubject one had to refer to

t~~

Hebrew psalms. Modern poets had felt the magic of t ₅t psalms, notably Francj Thomp on one of the !JlO

piritual of all poets.

. tht"

Tbe Jew throughout the age -now peuned up Jll d Ghetto, now driven from his home, insulted martrre ~ mocked at and butchered-bad been the them of roaD~}Jt' novel, poem and drama. Very often the depicting of f1:₁t- J ew in modern Engli h Jiterature had be n for froDl ~', tering, as in Dicken ' .. Oliver Twist" and )larlow's pl ·

"The ,Tew of l\[alta."

'tcP

On the other hand, mo t of th great Engli.·b ~ri fof who had written about thf' Jew had bf>en filled with p1tJ

1 nd the outcast o.f the nati.ons, and re_alis_ed that the. Je~·-t~;c­

been more smned agam. t than s1nmng. that his ,·11 Jt·

generally were hi own and that his faults were tbe re⁵b¹\ 11

of the brutality and inhuman injustice meted out to ¹ An intere ting discu ion followed, and at the
