Why is it that summer resorts largely
attended by Jews have no regular religious
services on the Sabbath? II is surely not
| right that during three whole months of
the year Judaism should be entirely ig-
nored by so many of our people. There is
hardly one we'll known popular resort that
has not more than one Minyan. Even the
simplest form of a service, conducted bv
laymen, would be better than this abs0-
Lutte cessation of religious interest. To
consider every phase of the wrong, it is a
very bad thing to lead the children to SUD-
pose that religion is an Indifferent affair.

The vacation time for the clergy has
begun in earnest, and the ecclesiastical ey-
odus Is complete. The loc,tr teHeus is in
place. He has the full enjoyment of hot
Sundays and thin congregations. The
organlst Is away IN the mountains, the
soprano is by the seaside and the bass is in
Europe. Bat the summer lOcum tenens is
ever with us. He is a meek and patient
man, content with the scanty cleaning
when the harvest is over. Yet sometimes
the toclnn tenens is fine preacher, some
times he is good scholar. But he never
comes to the front save on emergencies
which render his presence necessary. He
Is unseen before this, like the bird in the
sky, which suddenly looms in sight when
the traveller falls. But the main question
IS, when will the iocum teRens take his yaca
ton? Is he made of cast iron, that he
needs none, or are vacations only needed
by happy men who never stoop to
the role of locum tenenS? We hone
that he will get vacation and receive
strength that he may again next wear
bob up serenely" Just at the right moment
