The first of a series of three lectures on Zionism will be given by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes at the New York Community Church, on Wednesday, April 3. Dr. Stephen S. Wise will preside.
Dr. Holmes returned recently from Palestine, which he visited as the representative of Nathan Straus to study Zionist work. The first lecture will be on the subject: “The Task-and the Problems That Will Not Down.” The other lectures will be given on April 10 and 17.
A new painting of Nathan Straus was acquired by the national board of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization, and will be sent to Palestine to be placed in the Straus Health Center being built in Tel Aviv.
The portrait, by Edward Salzman of New York, is bust size and gives a full face view of the subject. This is the second likeness of Mr. Straus which Hadassah has sent to Palestine, the first, a bas-relief of Mr. Straus in bronze, to be placed in the Nathan and Lina Straus Health Center in Jerusalem, which will be dedicated during Passover.
Both centers will contain pasteurization laboratories, and a number of other departments for preventive care and health education. They are being built at a cost of $200,000 and will be under the direction of the Hadassah.
