In an unmistakable trend back toward Orthodoxy, the delegates urged that all Reform synagogs employ cantors and all-Jewish choirs, singing Jewish music only, and resume use of the ancient Kiddush, a blessing before the evening meal to proclaim the holiness of the Sabbath. The Union, too, voted its faith in the Jewish homeland, praising the Jewish Agency-to which Zionists and non-Zionists subscribe-for its activities: "We see the hand of Providence in the opening of the gates of Palestine for the Jewish people at a time when a large portion...

Last month The Lord's Day Alliance, in semi-annual meeting in Manhattan, plumped for Presidential Nominee Landon because he had declined to deliver a political speech on Sunday; for Vice Presidential Nominee Knox because he declared he would not publish his Chicago Daily News on the Sabbath.
