PREACHING FOR NOTO-
RIETY
When two persons are unit-
ed in the holy oonds of matri-
mony he said there can be
no bond of love without concord-
ant youth Unless there is this
youth there is no guaranty of
happiness
You must look at life through
the same glasses at similar
stages of life so as to furthei
that unity of sentiment whic 7
should exist
And where there is concord-
ant youth let me say that you
will have more trouble if youi
daughter is married to an ortho-
dox Jew than if married to t
gentile You girls out there cl
not know what it means tc
marry the socalled orthodox
Jew
The above expressions wcr
given utterance by Rabbi Eml
G Hirsch at Chicago last Sun-
day
have
read of this rabbi before will noJ
be startled by such remarks
great majority of our rabbis pre-
fer not to encourage intermar-
riage in fact discourage it
and here comes Dr Hirsch and
tells us it is preferable to marry
a gentile to an orthodox Jew
It is detestable to see and hear
people continually harping on
what the Rabbinate does and
says But when a Jewish minis-
ter comes out openly and makes
the declaration as above we can-
not pass it unnoticed
Rabbi Hirsch is certainly a
bright enough man to attract
more than passing attention of
the Jews of Chicago if he deliv
pvn l a Jevfah lecture or sermon
xxm u ± jjOiwuiiiaod cio equally as
topic and adhered to it But
would he make such a world-
wide stir if he announced a Bib
heal theme No Possibly only
the members of his own congre-
gation would hear him
No doubt the words ofDr
Hirsch will be heralded world-
wide and his name expand a hun-
dred fold and his notoriety for
which he is playing will increase
in proportion But whether or
not he will have the respect and
well wishes that are accorded our
more modest and sedate minis-
ters is food for thought
THE BIBLE AND WHAT IT
IS TO MAN
This is the one factor that
gives the Bible such power over
man It is the book of horn
Open the Bible at the beginning
and read the first word of hope
JJiat ever fell on the ears of mor-
tals Turn to the very last chap
r recorded in the Holy Scrip
urcE and read there the grand-
est song of hope that ever
sheered the human heart Be-
tween these two promises you
vill find messages of hope as
hick as leaves on the forest tree
tfc matters not whether prophet
or psalmist or an angel or the
word of God himself is spoken
jy means of his prophet the
oice is always that of hope
Thanks and adoration to God
Jor this book which he has given
to tman freighted with all hope
and promise
Rabbi Abraham D Price
MORALITY OF RELIGION
We find religion in all clime3
not only in our travels but also
in the history of all times With-
out religion there is no moraliiy
For after all what is morality
but the observance of the su-
preme law Do good avoid
evil Hence the inseparability
of morality and religion Rab-
bi Abraham D Price
SAINTED HYPOCRICY
Delivered at the Bena David
Synagogue
Rabbi Price of Baltimore Md
We should never judge a
mans piety by the loudness of
his amen nor the willingness to
serve the Lord by the size of his
contribution Although it is true
that all lives will bear inspection
close scrutiny and proper con-
struction with due allowance for
human deficiencies still the ac-
tual measure of the man will be
revealed We should not be too
exacting but by no means seek
to condone an offense that merits
both censure and criticism The
church has too long been explait
ed as a shield for men whose acts
are not above suspicion and
those who have ensconsed them-
selves with its sanctity lend an
air of righteousness to their
questionable lives It is a duty
encumbent upon the moral
world A duty that we cannot es-
cape to separate the wheat from
the tares to raise the standard
of morality and threaten those
who dare defy its laws with os-
tracism and the scorn of the
world The spectacle of men who
employ sweat shop labor when
the daily grind with its racking
torments drive men to despera-
tion or still worse a victim to
the throes of consumption and
then lavishly contribute towards
the maintenance of hospitals and
other charitable institutions can
no longer in the name of justice
bo countenanced We must strip
the glamour from these sainted
hypocriis and let them stand
forth in their naked hideousness
a monument to the rotten so-
cial order the world over
ZIONISM
Continued from Page 3
in Jerusalem and Jaffa and along
the course of the new railways
there is the noise and bustle of
commerce The exports and im-
ports of Jaffa have grown to bo
more than six million dollars a
year The foundations are being
laid in Jerusalem for a Technical
College which is to cost a fifth
of a million and houses have be-
come so care in the Holy City
Ten it to our advertisers that youthat two hundred new onesare
great if hej selected a jBiblical saw it in The Herald now in course of construction
There is one iron works at
Jaffa which gives steady work to
120 men all Jews and which
paid dividends last year at the
rate of 25 per cent There are
two soap factories at Haifa and
big flour mills at Jerusalem This
year also the first steamship
dared to invade the stagnant wa-
ters of the Dead Sea and to take
possession of it in the name of
commerce
With modern methods of irri-
gation and scientific farming
Palestine could be made a veri-
table Garden of Eden It has
the same climate very nearly as
Southern California There are
360 varieties of birds in its or-
ange groves and oleander trees
and three thousand kinds of flow-
ers in its fields and valleys With
a single generation of capital and
JewishAmerican industry Pal-
estine would become the dainti-
est little country in the world
But about the greatest number of
Jews who would ever return to
Palestine would be 6000000
and these people would go into
factories and other great indus-
trial enterprises Palestine would
never according to the Zionists
be devoted to agriculture
The river Jordan is an ideal
torrent for waterpower Under
the listless regime of the Turks
it is the one tireless and ener-
getic thing in the whole region
For more than a hundred miles
it plunges from side to side with
a reckless waste of strength
which will some day giveelec
tric light and power to the pic-
turesque towns that straggle
along its banks
It was here not far from the
Jordan that the human race in-
vented glass It was near by
up the coast of the Mediterran-
ean Sea that Tyre and Sidon
flourished the two greatest com-
mercial cities of antiquity So
when the Jews regain Palestine
they may find that they have
done much more than gratify
their patriotic feelings They
may find themselves in posses-
sion of one of the best business
corners on the worlds highway
Palestine would be a Jewish
country today in my opinion if
Theodore Herzl had not died
Herzl was the George Washing-
ton of the Jews one of the most
remarkable and romantic figures
of this generation He died four
years ago of heart disease
