WENNETKA : .TAL January 1, 1927 -- AS Ba News of the North Shore Clubs Organization Will Co-operate for Talk Noted Rabbi Comes to Winnetka to Discuss Foundation of Religious Liberalism A meeting of unusual interest will take place Wednesday, January 5, at Community House, when the North Shore Congregation will co-operate with the Woman's society of the Win- netka Congregational church, in bring- ing Rabbi Solomon Friedhof to Win- netka. This is not Rabbi Friedhof's first contact with a Winnetka audience, for a few weeks ago he addressed a child study group, presided over by Perry Dunlap Smith, upon "The Spir- itual Need of the Adolescent." This group was inexpressibly stimulated and thrilled and eager for more, it is stated. Rabbi Friedhof at present presides over K. A. M. temple, Fifth street and Drexel Boulevard, Chicago, having come to Chicago about two years ago. Since that time he has gathered unto himself a very strong following. Curi- ously enough until his coming to K. A. M. Temple, Rabbi Friedhof had not preached. For ten years he taught in the Hebrew Union college in Cin- cinnati, except for the period spent in France with the A. E. F. The rare power with which this young Rabbi reaches the minds and hearts of peo- ple has now become evident. Rabbi Friedhof stands for broad- mindedness and co-operation, it is an- nounced. Not long ago he instigated and presided over a meeting of pecu- liar interest. Members of his congre- gation each brought with them a non- Jewish friend. The resultant gathering included Catholics, Protestants and Jews, who joined together in friendly discussion. It is felt that this is a rare opportunity for Winnetka to hear a big man upon a big subject. His ad- dress will be, "The Basis of Religious Liberalism." The Woman's society will convene as usual at 10 o'clock. Sewing will continue throughout the morning. At 11 o'clock comes the business meeting and discussion. Mrs. Charles Jewell will give the devotional thought at 12 o'clock, and luncheon will be served at 12:15, following which Rabbi Fried- hof will speak. North Shore Alumnae at College Breakfast The Chicago Rockford College as- sociation gives an annual holiday luncheon or tea for the recently re- turned students who are spending their vacation in or near Chicago, and for the former students and alumnae of the college who are living in the vicin- The plan this year was a breakfast, held at 12 o'clock, Wednesday, De- cember 29, at Huyler's new restaurant on North Michigan avenue.

His subject will be, "Youth and the New Social Order." After the completion of his college course in India, Mr. Muzumdar came to this country in 1920. In 1925 he received the degree of B. A. and in 1926 that of M. A. in sociology, both from Northwestern university. He is a man of note, and has lec- tured throughout the country. He is the author of "Gandhi, the Apostle," and is at present the chairman of the National Oriental Students' Con- ference, which has been recently or- ganized. Miss Jane Addams writes of Mr. Muzumdar, "I take great pleasure in recommending Mr. Haridas Muzumdar as lecturer on the present social and political movements in India, and as an interpreter of the Gandhi move- ment. Mr. Muzumdar is well-informed and presents his views with conviction and enthusiasm." . Professor Thomas D. Eliot, profes- sor of sociology in Northwestern uni- versity, also writes, "As a young man who has lived in America for several years Mr. Muzumdar has a very use- ful service to perform in interpreting an attitude, ideas and events of Oc- cident and Orient one to the other. He is a facile thinker and speaker of at- tractive manner, wide reading and friendly spirit." The meeting is in charge of the civics and philanthropy committee, Mrs. E. E. Brown, chairman.

In addition to the afternoon talk, Miss Aras Nage, contralto, will enter- tain the group with a program of vocal selections.
