On Way to London, King Feisal of Iraq Is Greeted by Arab Delegations Who Lay Complaints Bef |re Him \ (Special Correspondence) JERUSALEM— The 8th of June was a memorable day in the calendar of Palestine. Thousands of the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to welcome the popular Arab ruler. King Feisal >of Iraq who passed through it on his way to London. Hundreds of automobiles, carrying representative Arab Palestinians, dignitaries and newspaper reporters, drove all the way to the borders oi Transjordania, by way of Jericho, to welcome the visiting king. With the king's party which had moved fromi Salt, Transjordania, were Emir Abdullah, the king's brother, Nuri Pasha Sa'id, Foreign Minister of Iraq, Rustum Bey Haider, Minister of Communications, Tahsin Bey Qadri, Head o* the Iraqite Protocol and Dr. Sanderson, the king's personal physician. J King Feisal at Jericho At Jericho the royal party with •his welcomers were met by a delegation headed by Musa Kazim Pasha al-Huseini, President of the Executive Committee of the Palestinian Congress, and many others who had. come from Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Nablus and other Palestinian cities. A triumphal . arch decorated with Arab flags was erected in honor of the king. In bold letters the arch carried the following inscription: "Arab Palestine welcomes His Majesty Feisal I, King of the Arabs." The royal procession, augmented along the road by added delegates, made its entrance to Jerusalem about noon-time. The royal party was met by representatives of the Palestinian government, the British High Commission, the mayor of Jerusalem, Ragib Bey al-Nashashibi, and others. Performs < Prayer Almost the first act of King Feisal after his arival in Jerusalem was to perform the mid-day prayer at the historic Haram enclosure, overlooking the holy city to the west. He entered from the "immigrants' gate,'" like any humble Moslem and made "two kneelings" (a short prayer) in the Mosque of the Dome. From there King Feisal paid a visit to his father's tomb, in the neighborhood, where the opening Sura of the Qoran was read over the tomb of the Arab ruler who had stood adamant in the face of British encroachments on Arabia and Palestine, suffered exile to Cyprus, lost his kingdom in Hijaz and died away from his home, all in his devotion to the Arab cause. At lunch King Feisal was guest of the British Commissariat. At 3 P.M. he motored to the Islamic college, "Rawdat-ul-Ma'arif," where hundreds of representative Arab leaders were given a chance to meet His Majesty, and where His Majesty was given a chance to hear the complaints of Palestinians against the British policy favouring Zionism, and its imminent dangers to Arab nationalism in Palestine. (Continued on page 2.) BEIRUT— The ancient and historic cities of Syria and Palestine are now within instant communication by telephone, the most practicable and efficient modern way of transaction. The department of communication of the French Commissariat, a branch under the control of the French military authorities in Syria, issued recently an announcement to the public that a direct line of telephonic communication has been established between the countries under French mandate and Palestine. Long-Distance Rates The rates for 3 minutes conversation between 7 AM. and 8 P.M., and for 6 jminutes between 8.P.M. and 7 AM., between some of the principal cities follow: Beirut-Jerusalem or Jaffa, Haifa, Nazareth, Nablus, Hebron, and TibeMus-75 Lebanese Piastres (65 a).

It was also announced that in the near future other direct lines of telephonic communications would be established between Syria on one side and Transjordania, Egypt, Great Britcin and France on the other. Operators Must Be Linguists In Egypt, where the telephone is used extensively, the girl operators are supposed to be able to carry on. conversation in five languages—Arabic, French,English, Italian and Greek. Will Syria and Lebanon furnish enough of those polyglotic experts to irun its telephones? And will those operators have to know, besides, Yiddish and Hebrew to talk with Zionists in Tel-Aviv and Peteh-Tikwah? STARTS SUIT AGAINST FUAD Princess Returning to America to Regain American Citizenship in Suit Against King of Egypt PRINCESS Ola Hasan of Egypt formerly Ola Humphrey of San Francisco, is returning to the United States from Cairo to regain her American citizenship for a legal suit against King Fuad. She accuses him of preventing her from obtaining the $1,750,000 legacy that is due her from her late husband's estate, Prince Ibrahim. She claims that King Fuad as head of the rcyal house which controls the estate of her dead husband, has caused her case to be postponed whenever it was brought up, during the last two years. She also claims the high court is afraid to set a date for the trial as long as the king objects and she is therefore regaining her citizenship here in order to have the case tried before the Mixed Court. She accused the king of\ being all-powerful and exceedingly wealthy and that he has .suspended the constitution and is himself above the law. RICHMOND SYRIANS HOLD POLITICAL RALLY ATTENDED BY 40 CANDIDATES SYRIAN DEMOCRATIC CLUB SPONSORS LARGEST MEETING IN PRESENT POLITICAL CAMPAIGN — PRINCIPAL ADDRESS BY EDITOR OF THE SYRIAN WORLD (Special Correspondence) RICHMOND, VA.,—Friday, June 23, was a banner day in the history of the Syrian-Lebanese community of this city. The political meeting they sponsored was a huge success and was described by the local papers as the largest of its kind so far held in the present campaign. Henry Hall was filled to capacity while several hundred, unable to gain admission, crowded the sidewalks. Forty or more candidates for state offices, from that of governor down, attended the meeting. In almost a full-column report of the meeting, the Richmond TimesDispatch featured the attack of W. Worth Smith, candidate for governor, on the State party machine and his advocacy of repealing the Layman act and the legalizing of the sale of 3.2% beer. Mr. Smith favors economy in government and substantial reductions in taxes. Mr. A. Yarid, prominent Oriental rug dealer of the city and President of the Syrian Democratic Club sponsoring the meeting, presided. In excellent English he welcomed the candidates in the name of his organization and the Syrian-Lebanese community of Richmond and introduced as the principal speaker of the occasion S. A. Mokarzel editor of al-Hoda and The Syrian World, who came here from New York for this purpose as the guest of the club. Gave Sketch of Syria and Lebanon Mr. Mokarzel gave a brief sketch of the history of Syria and Lebanon and ,of the great contributions contributed to civilization by the Phoenicians, the direct ancestors of the Lebanese. He then proceeded to discuss the standing of our people in America and the particular qualities and racial characteristics which make them one of the most desirable elements in the nation. He contended that to be a loyal American did not necessarily mean that those who are of foreign extraction should entirely sever all (relations with their past and their native lands, and quoted on this subject a statement made to him earlier in the day by Dr. Douglas Freeman, editor of the Richmond News Leader, who held the same view. .Air. Mokarzel roused his audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and at the conclusion of his address was given thunderous applause. The Syrian-Lebanese community were particularly pleased by the fact that our able. editor immensely raised our standing as a people in the esteem of the American public. It may safely be stated that his address was the talk of the city on the following day, despite the heat of the political campaign. The Richmond News Leader of June 24 made Syria and the Syrians the subject of its leading editorial of which the following is the opening paragraph. "Syrians in Spot-Light" "The Syrians are in the spotlight. They paid a special visit to The BRANCH OF BRITISH BANK CLOSES IN BEIRUT BEIRUT— An inspector of the Anglo-Palestine Bank arrived from London to supervise the closing of the Beirut branch of this international banking firm. After careful deliberation by the London board of trustee, it w„„-Tbuud advisable to discontinue the bank's »St activities in Beirut Keen competition, it was said, was the principal reason leading to this decision. News Leader yesterday, and in the evening had a brilliant political rally at their headquarters. It would work salvation at London if there should arise one who, like a Syrian of another day, could exercise the same persuasiveness that was shown when he induced his master, Namaan, on the banks of the Jordan, to 'Wash and be clean!" The meeting lasted until almost midnight. Mr. Mokarzel was asked at its close to make an address in Arabic and he took the occasion to exhort his countrymen to unite and cooperate, citing as an illSstration the splendid results achieved bccoperalion of their local societies to sponsor the present meeting which resulted in such signal success. Mr. Joe Simon, on behalf of the Syrian community, thanked the prominent American guests for their attendance. Mokarzel Me» at Station Upon Mr. Mokarzel's arrival in Richmond, Friday morning, he was met at the station by a committee of prominent Syrian and Lebanese citizens who escorted him to. the John Marshall Hotel and later accompanied him on his tour of official visits to Gov. John Garland Pollard at tht State Capitol, to Mayor J. Fulmer Bright at the City Hall, and to the offices of the Times-Dispatch and The News Leader. The committee consisted of Essef Shaheen, Mike ShuJletta, Charles Kouri, Salem Sanyour Arthur Olin, Philip Shaheen and Assad Ghusn. With them was Mr. John C. Goode, candidate for commissioner of revenue and a loya' 'the Syrians. �L^^W^f^siSl^^^fl^ THE SYRIAN WORLD, NEW YORK, JUNE 30, 1933. ORTHODOXY FACES SIFTING IN THE UNITED STATES ARCHBISHOP BENJAMIN FEDCHENKOV, TEMPORARY EXARCH OF THE PATRIARCHAL CHURCH OF RUSSIA, COMES TO THIS COUNTRY TO LECTURE AND TO INQUIRE INTO ECCLESIASTICAL STATUS OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX HIERARCHY CALLS MARRIAGE OF ARCHBISHOP OFEISH "A SIN AND A FALLING BACK," HIS VIEWS AS "PROTESTANT, NOT ORTHODOX" THE CHAOTIC state which has prevailed in the Russian Orthodox Church in the United States, a state which expressed itself in contending factions and unruly ecclesiastical conduct, has at last received the serious and active interest of the Orthodox Patriarche! Church in Russia, the church which still represents the overwhelming majority of the Orthodox in that country. Embodying this interest, as a messenger of peace and goodwill, is His Grace Archbishop Benjamin Fedchenkov, head of the Russian Orthodox Church in France, residing in Paris, and temporary Exarch of the Orthodox Patriarchal Church of Russia to North America, who arrived last week at New York, where he was met by loyal Russian emigres and ecclesiastical representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church of this and other cities In the United States. Having accepted an invitation by the Russian' Religious and Philosophic Society of this country to lecture in the various cities where Russians are to be found in large numbers, the eminent Russian clergyman was then commissioned by the mother Patriarchal Church in Russia to inquire into the involved ecclesiastical state of the daughter churches in the States and,.report about it. i Precarious Situation Realizing the precarious and delicate situation which confronts him, as well as the tense politicoreligious sentiments which govern so many of the ardent Orthodox Russian believers who had found refuge in this country from the Communists at « home, since the revolution of 1917, Archbishop Benjamin was very cautious in expressing himself to a reporter of the Syrian World and another of al-Hoda who visited him at 2066 Fifth Avenue, New York. Ruddy of face, with gray blue eyes characteristic of his Slavonic race, receding broad brow, a heavy, reddish beard streaked with black, of medium height and girth, the visiting Russian hierarch was an image of serene composure, geniality and Christian charity. His subdued smile, and the innocent gleam from his soft eyes inspired confidence rather than (Continued from page 1.) Complaints Aired "The calamity has been aggravated in this section of the Arabic land," declared Amin Bey at-Tamimi in his speech before King Feisal, "and the problems and difficulties Jiave multiplied. Behold the direct imperialistic rule in this country and this flood of Zionist immigration ... and these lands passing away from Arab hands to those of foreigners All these augur no bright future for the Arab cause, unless far-sighted leaders apprehend the situation in time." The speaker urged King Feisal, in the name of Palestine, to lay the cause of its national .population before the responsible authorities when he arrives at London. King Feisal, his brother and his entourage, motored back to Amman at 5 P. M., from whence His Majesty was to take the airplane to Gaza, then to Egypt Nv * ..— -#^.; j £s?W ri^ai.-hiii . authority, the spirit of goodwill rather than the letter of discipline and ' the canon. With him, at the time of the interview, was an English Catholic convert to Orthodoxy, Father Dimitri Balfour, a distant kinsman of the famous late Lord Balfour, tall and stately who speaks English with an Oxford accent. Father Balfour Interprets Through Father Balfour, who acted as an interpreter, Archbishop Benjamin wished to impress on us the fact that he was not here to make revolutionary and disciplinary decisions, but merely to inquire and report, awaiting instructions from the ecclesiastical authorities in Moscow. He is, above all, interested in establishing goodwill and unity where suspicion, dissension and strife have xeigned hitherto. He characterized his, mission as primarily a religious, (not a canonical one, to raise the level of religious life among the Russian Orthodox communicants in America and to help consolidate the spirit of Christian revival which has begun to make itself strongly felt in Russia, as well as in other parts of the world. A question which has agitated much discussion, mostly because it has not been quite clearly understood or explained, was answered beyond the shadow of a doubt by His Grace. How far is the regular Orthodox Church in Russia friendly to the Soviet authorities, and what are the • terms of its working agreement with the said authorities? Orthodox in Russia Unmolested Archbishop Benjamin replied that the regular Orthodox Church in Russia, known as the Patriarchal Church, enjoys perfect freedom in that country as long as it participates in no political activities, or expresses its antagonism to the Bolshevik regime. But since 1927, when that concordat was established, the Bolsheviks have always accused the Patriarchal Church of complicity in anti-Soviet propaganda through its numerous branch churches outside Russia. To obviate this criticism and remove all possible obstacles in the way of its freedom, the Patriarchal Church recently decided that all clergy abroad deriving their authority from the Russian church and who are under its general jurisdiction should sign a pledge refraining from politics, and particularly from anti-Soviet activities and propaganda. No positive allegiance to Bolshevism is implied, nor does this pledge go beyond the clergy. It does not in any respect restrict the political or civic freedom of Russian Orthodox laymen outside the local churches. One of the first acts of Archbishop Benjamin in this country was to place this pledge before Archbishop ST. PETE BOMBER AN EGYPTIAN Arrested, Identified Through Passport. To Be Tried in Italy ACCORDING to an Associated Press dispatch from Vatican City, the bombing of the portico of St. Peter's Church, Rome, last Sunday, injuring four and creating a panic among the Holy Year pilgrims, was charged to an Egyptian, Demetrio Solamon of Spanish citizenship, who had entered Rome a .few hours before from Spain which is his homeland. Attempting flight after the bombing, the Egyptian was caught by Fascist soldiers and was identified through his pasport which he had unwittingly thrown in a fountain. The explosion is said to have aggravated the strained relations between the Vatican and Spain. Bomber to Be Tried Under the Lateran Treaty, the bomber will be tried in Italy, but not in the Vatican. Authorities expressed the belief that Solamon's action was inspired by the Pope's encyclical of June 3 and excommunications of members of the Spanish Government. It was not reported whether the prisoner made any statement, but investigation revealed that he is a native of Egypt who had become first a Greek citizen, Ihen a Spanish one. As a large number of the inhabitants of Egypt are of foreign origin, it is quite likely that Demetrio Sclamon, as his first name seems to indicate, is either a Greek or Spaniard of Egyptian birth. It is highly improbable that an Arab Egyptian would be moved with such zeal for* a foreign nationalistic cause. Platon, titular head of the Russian Orthodox Church in North America. Archbishop Platon at first showed favourable intention to sign the pledge, but then stiffened his opposition and refused to sign It is thought that post-War Russians, bitter enemies of the Bolshevik, brought pressure on Archbishop Platon, who pow suspects that the pledge is a plot of the Soviet authorities to bring the Orthodox Church in Russia under its control. Archbishop Benjamin, naturally, is not of this opinion. Rather, he thinks, the pledge is necessary for the peace and liberty of the Orthodox believers in Russia. Living Church not Bound Obviously this pledge does not apply to members of the Living Church, an organization with decided affinities with the Bolshevik and which has adopted many ecclesiastical reforms, among them the abolishment of celibacy among the clergy. Archbishop Benjamin does not believe the total membership of the Living Church, sometimes called Red Church exceeds ten per cent of all the Orthodox in Russia. Furthermore, he has no definite plans to restore possession of the Russian Cathedral in New York, now in possession of Archbishop Kadrowsky, head of the Living Church in North America, with his small following. Since Archbishop' Benjamin's visit to Archbishop Platon, the latter issued an encyclical declaring the Russian Church in North America independent of the authorities in Russia. Fyr four years he has not been in communication or touch with the Orthodox hierarchy in jMoscow, and, therefor^, his latest action was not ed. Archbishop Benjamin Moscow asking for instruche makes his views pubnew development .ublfcity' " <I.I.II i | ii niiiifBimr.s*fBgxt ^^^•»§^ff22JBr3ESBBSS EGYPTIAN-SYRIAN BANK STRONG, DECLARES PRE5. Parent Institution Has Shown Phenomenal Success in Egypt BEIRUT— Following rumors {bat the Egyptian-Syrian-Lebanese bank, a branch of "Banque Misr," was unstable, Tal'at Bey Harb, Egyptian president, who is one^of the foremost ^financiers in the Near East, issued a statement of the bank's transactions with balance sheet. According to this statement the balance in the branch bank, with centres in Beirut and Damascus, up to Dec. 31, 1932, was 698,382 L.P., as against 342,161 LP. for the corresponding period of 1931, clear profit amounting to 15, 965.98. Of this sum 12,500 were distributed as dividends to the stock-holders at a 2.21 per cent rate. The Syrian and Lebanese branches of Banque Misr were established in 1929, after a persistent demand by many nationals that a banking institution run by nationals was an urgent need in those countries. Tal'at Harb went (to Syria and Lebanon especially to make an investigation of the situation for himself. 0 Banque Misr Progressive Banque Misr itself, founded in the spring of 1920, has shown phenomenal success. From a modest beginning of 80,000 E.L. ($350,000) it has grown into a gigantic financial institution sponsoring and financing nine Egyptian industrial projects, including a national press and a paper factory. In 8 years its capital jumped to 780,000 E.L. and has since kept up its amazing pace. At one time, 1930, it was said to be the only large bank in Egypt which could show substantial profits for the current year. Coming closer home to affairs of the Syrian Russian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Benjamin said he has just begun to acquaint himself with the situation, based on documentary evidence. He paid high tribute to the late Patriarch Gregory Haddad, whom he recalled on the hitter's memorable visit to Russia, as a saintly man, reminding one of the old uatriarchs of biblical times. ,, Aftimios' Marriage "a Sin" Of Archbishop Aftimios' sensational marriage, Archbishop Benjamin declared it "a sin and a falling back." He expressed his sorrow at this relapse of the Syrian archbishop, and hoped that he would repent, in which case the Orthodox Church, would consider his forgiveness and reinstatement. As it is, he is now declared unorthodox. Nevertheless, since no synod has passed on his action, Archbishop Aftimios is still nominally a bishop. But he had no redeeming word for the marriage, which he said is clearly against the canons of the church. And as for, the distinction which the married archbishop makes the basis of his selfdefense, namely the distinction between a God-inspired Bible and a man-made canon, the Russian hierarch smilingly called it a Protestant, not an Orthodox distinction. He pointed out that the same Holy Spirit which inspired the Bible also inspired the ecumenical councils which formulated the canons. Archbishop Benjamin was somewhat reluctant to give his first "impression" of America. He remarked, however, that Americans strike him as being less spiritually sophisticated than Europeans, and that there is a great opportunity for "orthodoxy in this country, an opportunity which is endangered by the regrettable show of dissension and contentions among the Orthodox.

TO SPANK OR NOT TO SPANK IT MAY not sound very dignified to take the question of spanking or1 no spanking as a subject for an editorial. But when we recall how much this smarting experience does enter into the early life of almost all of us, and bow much of the destiny of youth depends on its wise or unwise administration, we loosen our frown of disapproval and admit that it is an important, if not a vital subject worthy of consideration. Like all subjects of this sort, the antithetical manner in which it is put robs it of a great deal of its effectiveness and significance. It reminds some of us of debating topics that used tO be popular in the Syrian lt^m'ehtary~ schools years ago: "Which is j»*^tter wealth or knowledge?", "Who is more useful the physician or the teacher?", "Which is more preferable the city or the country?" The. truth is, such distinctions may exist in the immature minds of little pupils, but have no place in life whatsoever. The same may be said of spanking or no spanking. The question, therefore, is not: to spank or not to spank, but when and how and under what conditions should the parent or teacher spank or not spank. It reminds one of the story of a stem father who, having given his little boy a good spanking, asked him: "Son, do you know why I spanked you?„" The boy, drying his tears, between sobs, replied: "Yes, because you are stronger than I!" One reason why the findings o( modern science and psychology so often and so repeatedly confirm the wisdom of our ancestors, is that such wisdom has been almost always PRACTICAL WISDOM, relying not so much on the soundness of a theoretical principle, as on an intimate understanding of the subtle ways and working of life itself. Nature has provided in healthy instinct and common sense the necessary means and ways of its preservation, conservation, well-being and growth. It is when we fly in the face of life and instinct that we find ourselves at odds with it, and pay the penalty from which BO amount of psychologizing will exempt or save us. A LONCSOUGHT CITY UNEARTHED IN ALOUITE DISTRICT, REVEALING MANY SECRETS OF HISTORY AND LEGEND A DICTIONARY 3000 years old, a cosmetic set as elaborate as any Parisienne may display on the chiffonier of her modern boudoir, spit curls and eye black used by coquettish ladies and goddesses several milleniums before our flappers mastered the arts of charm, were among many things discovered and deciphered by tireless archeologists in Ras Shamar, a little distance north-east of Ladhiqiyyah, the ancient Latakia. It is all told in a graphic and instructive article in the current issue of the GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE by Claude Schaeffer, chief American archeologist in charge of the excavations carried out there since 1929. Mr. Schaeffer considers the archeological finds in Ras Shamra among the most priceless and historically important of all the numerous finds unearthed (in Syria, Palestine, Transjordania, Lebanon and Mesopotamia in the last decade or more.) Particularly is this true of the inscriptions which, the American archeologist holds, indicate the most ancient examples of alphabetical writing in history. If this is true, it means that the discoverers of the Alphabet were not the Phoenicians, but some other Semitic people to the north. According to another authority, Prof. Martin Sprengling of the University of Chicago, the first alphabet was a sort of marking code used by Arab foremen in the quarries of Sinai. At any rate the alphabet remains a Semitic contribution to civilization, perhaps the greatest, the corner-stone of all culture and progress. Ras Shamra is a modern, Arabic name. But on its site, overlooking the Bay of Minat-ul-Beida, cnce rose an old cky which had its day in the annals of ancient history. Schaeffer identifies it with Ugarit, mentioned in an Egyptian hieroglyphic record commemorating the victories of Ramases II over the Hittites in northern Syria. This city must have been the meeting place of several races and nations, a metropolis, like so many m the Near East of our day, where peoples from distant parts mingled in its streets, haggled oven prices in its bazaars and gathered in its squares and caravansaries. We are told that eight languages were used by its polyglotic inhabitants, and that slates displaying these eight different languages side by side were found in the ruins of Ras Shamra. Three of these languages have not been definitely deciphered yet. The other five are Babylonian, Summerian (allied to Babylonian), Egyptian, Hittite and the local lingo of Ugarit, which the author! declares is closely related to classical Phoenician. Of curious interest is the added information that the Summarian was a kind of learned language used by theologians, scholars and lawyers, much as Latin was used by the ecclesiastical and scholastic people of Middle Ages. The "finds" of Ras Shamra abound in oddities and curiosities of ancient history. Here are a few taken at random from Schaeffer's article: A dictionary of synonyms that must be at least 3000 years old. Of course the dictionary is out of resemblance to any dictionary we know of our age. It was a series of slates with the words and their synonyms marriage of Archbisop Aftimios. We feel compelled to do this because right before us lie two lengthy articles, one from Archbishop Ofeish defending himself, another from a correspondent attacking the history-making marriage. In refusing space for either of them we do that not out of disrespect for His Grace or for the worthy correspondent, but simply because we insist on adhering to our policy announced in previous issues of the SYRIAN WORLD, that we refuse to enter into controversy on a subject that clearly DOES NOT belong in the domain of popular journalism. HIS QUARREL IS WITH HJS OWN Only when something of news value breaks CHURCH AUTHORITIES out are we justified in writing about it, and RELUCTANTLY, and with some apology then only in the usual news reporting manto our readers, we take up once more this ner. limited space to write about the celebrated May we venture tq point to Archbishop '<seds. %»***, 'publicity, <m. / inscribed with stylus in parallel perpendicular lines. 'Numerous slates ajso were found: which proved to fee exercise books used by pupils in we schools ofi those days, as well as slates on which long epic* poems were inscribed centuries before Homer. A series of alabaster and ivory jars, of different designs and sizes, were found in a" princess' tomb, obviously used to hold cosmetic preparations and perfumery. A couple of silver statuettes, one tail and one short, may indicate the first "Mutt and Jeff" comic in history. Other statuettes of gods and goddesses, with inscriptions extolling their virtues or recounting their legends in prose and, verse, throw fresh light on characters already familiar to us from the Bible and older excavations. Thus Adam and Eve are mentioned as living in a magnificent garden in the East. Adam is portrayed as the founder of a nation, the Semites, and Eve comes out in the Ugarit inscriptions as a vivacious, cruel and revengeful goddess, not at all like the docile, demure Eve of our Bible. Then there is mention of a Din-el, who must be our familiar Daniel, and he appears as a protector of the weak and oppressed. The story of Adonis is also alluded to, and Leviathan of the Psalms and Job appears inj the consonant root of "Ltn." In one "dictionary," terms for various prices, such as "great price," "small price" and "fixed price," are given, which proves that "haggling" and bargaining over prices is a truly ancient institution in our East. These instances by no means exhaust the range and archeological importance of the discoveries made at Bas Shamra. Experts in the ancient languages of cur East are busy deciphering some of the more enigmatical slates and inscriptions unearthed, and, Mr. Schaeffer believes when that work has been done, many startling facts will be found which will] revolutionize some of our conceptions of ancient history. WHEN ALI FAILS Buzurjumhar, the wise vizier of Anushurwan, a famous Persian Shah, was asked: "What things are best for a man?" He replied: "A mind wherewith to make his living."— He was further asked: "What if he had not that?". "Then," he replied, "Brethren to cover his defects." Again he was asked: "What if he had not these?". "Then," he replied: "Wealth wherewith he could win the favor of men." And if not that?" He was pressed. "Then good behavior wherewith to enhance his station," he. replied. "And if not that?" "Then," said the vizier, "Silence to save himself." "And if not that?" "Then," replied Buzurjumhar, "Death to relieve him and rid creation of him." Said an Arab sage: "I sought rest for myself, and found nothing more restful than letting alone what does not concern me. 1 sought solitude in the wilderness, and found nothing more solitary than the evil companion. I witnessed battles and military campaigns and challenged my peers in combat, and found nothing more defeating to man than the evil wife. I took cognizance of everything that humiliates the eighty, and found nothing more humiliating than poverty." Aftimios the article in this issue of the SYRIAN WORLD in which Archbishop Benjamin Fedchenkov, Temporary Exarch of the Patriarchal Church of Russia to North America, gives his views on various churchissues pertaining to the Russian Orthodox Church of this country. There Archbishop Benjamin gives a clear-cut answer to this precarious question of a bishop's marriage, as well as to the attitude which Archbishop Aftimios takes in the defense of his act: the distinction between "a man-made canon and a God-inspired Bible." The quarrel of Archbishop Aftimios is not with the SYRIAN WORLD, which has conscientiously tried to present the issue in an impartial and historic light, but with his own church authorities, with his colleagues of the Greek Orthodox hierarchy. �THE SYRIAN WORLD, NEW YORK, JUNE 30, 1933. £ FROM EAST AND WEST OUR NEW YORKERS AT RANDOM By H.

The change of climate doesn't alter the menu for Syrian wives in their native homeland or here in America. When vegetables are in seasoi there will always be a cooked vegetable -and-ltt*ib dish with fice or stuffed squash, cabbage or grape leaves. Offseasons are provided for by the preservation of grape leaves in salt and the stringing of dried okra. While our American neighbors are boiling potatoes for a cold salad and getting cold cuts from the delicatessen for the traditional cool American meal, the Syrian wife is in the hot kitchen patiently rolling wads of grape leaves or scooping out squash. Her side dish will be a luscious salad filled with the usual summer vegetables and a generous proportion of mint leaves. Some will add a finely chopped onion and particularly epicurean wives will have a faintly detectable smack of garlic. Mayonnaise ir» a Syrian salad is taboo. French dressing made of a good proportion of select olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar with sprinklings of pepper, salt and, other favorite spices beaten with a fork will produce a rich and tasty dressing. To prevent a too garlicy taste it is a good plan to pour the finished dressing over a small crushed garlic in a strainer. This will do away with the bulk of the garlic and too much of its tang. Unfortunately too little or no time is given to the thought of a dessert. The usual thing to have after a heavy Syrian meal is fruit. The anticipation of a good dessert is unknown in most Syrian, families and yet most children prefer to think of meals in terms of dessert than in anything else, so I think it would be well to create a good, light dessert once in a while. With the advent of summer "tabooly" or "safsouf" will have its fling. You of strictly Syrian tastes should put every conceiveable green vegetable in this dish but omit cucumbers and tomatoes or you will be teased about your "salata." When I was in Syria a few years ago I was surprised to find that for no reason at all these two vegetables were faithfully omitted. Why? oh, they were too suggestive of salad. In Syria it isn't so bad, as green, vegetables are numerous and plentiful and one can) well do away with the saladish type, but in America the green vegetables boil down to lettuce, parsley, mint, scallions. Of course there are some who prefer their "tabooly" this way but to more Americanized tastes I don't think it's satisfying. The younger married couples are forming their own ways of serving meals. They are adhering to age-old methods of cooking but with some revisions. They are happily combining the best off Syrian customs in food and the harmonizing finishing touches of American customs. The result is quite successful and I venture to say surpasses the purely Syrian or the purely American. It is a happy combination of the East and West and satisfying to both tastes. Receives B.

There is still lying in the quarry of Baalbek, about three-quarters of a mile from the acropolis, an immense stone 71 feet long, 1 3 feet wide and 14 feet high. It is known to all visitors of the ancient town as "Hajar al-Hubla" (the Pregnant Woman's Stone).

Baalbek was visited by earthquakes on several occasions, particularly in the 12 century and in 1 759.

An idea of the heroic size of this historic edifice may be gained from the fact that 3 stones, rising about 23 feet from the ground and still showing in their place in the crumbling wall at the northwest angle of this temple, measure 60, 60 and 62.9 respectively in length. Today Baalbek has two modern hotels for the accomodation of visiting tourists, and is linked by railway, through Rayaq, to Damascus and Aleppo. It can be reached from almost any point in Syria by automobile, over well-built roads. In what epoch Baalbek was founded and by whom, is still an historic enigma which has occupied the minds of many research historians. In past ages, when the miraculous was always invoked in the explanation of life's mysteries, even when such mysteries were the result of man's handiwork, the building of the temples of Baalbek was ascribed to the jinn and to supernatural agencies. Thus Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela, who visited Syria in I 163, did not hesitate to state that King Solomon in building the city invoked the help of the jinn.

(Photo^by News Leader.) �Readers1 Forum THUS SAY SOME MODERN PSYCHOLOGS, REFUTING MODERN PEDAGOGS AND IN SO DOING PROVE ONCE MORE OUR ANCESTORS WERE RIGHT OF YORE WELL, reader, we can't keep up this pace, of hackneyed rhyme all out of place. But here it is in black and white, for those who but can read and write. tflP ' I i ! The Sunday American some time ago published a one-page article with illustrations to prove to modern readers of both sexes that the old, old-fashioned way of honest-to-goodness spanking is a more effective means of bringing up children the right way than all the contraptions of modern psychologists and pedagogs. The article is based on the public assertions of a noted English educator and child expert, Dr. F. C. Shrubsall, senior medical officer of the school system of London, who had declared some time ago that the "enlightened way" of dealing with disobedient boys and girls, the way of reasoning with a child to show where he or she had done wrong, is all wrong itself. Punishment, argues Dr. Shrubsail, is nature's way of teaching offenders to avoid things which bring -their? pain and suffering, and that nature has furnished every young animal, including the human cub, with just one method by which to learn the "pleasure-pain" principle. What interests us more, however, is the fact that Dr. Shrubsall quotes the book of Proverbs more than once, recognizing thereby that its ancient practical wisdom is more substantial than all the theories of modern pedagogy and psychology in this matter. In that book we read, "He that spareth his rod hateth his son," a wisdom we recognize in its modern application: "Spare the rod and spoil the child." We also read, "Chasten thy son while there is hope and let not thy soul spare for his crying..." And the way of the Book of Proverbs has ever since been the way of our forefathers and some of our own generation of elders who have inot yet capitulated to modern psychology and forsaken the age-old wisdom based on sound experience and more fundamental psychology. Non-Spankers Refuted "Hat ya Mdallal" The chief objection raised by the non-spankers, says this authority on the effectiveness of flagellation, is that a chastised child becomes resentful and hates the parent or teacher who made its skin smart with pain. But, he points out, there is no justification in fact for this contention. A child learns that fire burns only by actually burning its fingers when attempting to touch the warm bright object before it, but no child hates fire for that. "Treat the fire right and it will treat you right, if not it will punish you," is a formula which a child soon learns. The same formula applies to punishment. Furthermore, Dr. Shrubsall contends, punishment should be given immediately after the offense and in anger, preferably on the southern end. of the human anatomy where nature has provided a soft cushion of flesh that can absorb a lot of smarting pain with little injurious effects. A child's way is not the way of reasoning, argues Dr. Shrubsall, but the way of associations and psychical reactions. The sure knowledge that his disobedience to his mother or his destructive pranks in the house will bring about a swift punishment, a smarting pain which he would rather avoid, is more effective in deterring him from these things than all the logic in the world. Unlike grown ups, a child's mind does not work along logical lines, but ^psychological, and punishment, if reasonable and at the right time, is the most effective way to drive home the needed lesson. If Dr. Shrubsall had known it he might also have quoted a common expression which the masons in Damascus apply to their help, the hodcarriers and brick heavers. For it is said that these masons, when calling one of their help, say: "Come on, you spoiled one!" (hat ya mdallal!) When asked for explanation these masons say, "If these unfortunates had not been spoiled in their childhood they would not have reached this stage." Adduces Statistics ^U Dr. Shrubsall adduces criminal jtistics to show that boy^ and girls icityv brought up the modern way have fared worse, on the whole, than the ones brought up the old-fashioned way.
