Correction Regarding Poem Attributed to Asa Smith
By Editor
BROTHER ASA SMITH, of Battle Creek College, writes to us that the poem on the first page of the REVIEW of September 4 was not written by him. Some mistake has therefore been made in this Office. Is there another Asa Smith, who did write it, so that our mistake is in crediting it to the one at Battle Creek College? Or was it not written by any Asa Smith? Will the person who did write the poem, or who sent it to us, please tell us, so that we can make the proper correction? IN an article in the Independent, September 13, Dr. Max Nordau says that “in countries where, thirty or forty years ago, the Jew had no civil disqualifications, the laws granting his civil rights are being repealed.” He says that this is “true of every European country where the Jew has even the pretense of civil liberties;” and that the situation of the Jews “to-day is worse than at any time within our memory.”
