'Newman will deliver the three sermons. On Friday Evening, the Sabbath dis­course will be a consider­ation of the statement by Prof. Salo W. Baron to the effect that the existence of the Jewish people has been endangered by their recent entrance into the realm o"f power politics. What is true and false in his assertion: "Ambition for power was not in the intrinsic life and spirit of the people or in ' their interest"?
