TIE SPIRIT OF JUDAISM. Six Papers
Jewish People. BY Josephine Lazarus.
Cloth. 16 mo, $1.25 New York: Dodd.
Mead q Co.
The author Of these papers makes
an earnest plea for the elevation OF her
race, which can come in her opinion.
only through thorough and exalted
spiritual leadership Perhaps the key
note of her entire argument Is best
sounded in this paragraph from the
paper on 1.-The Jewish Question:"
Deep in the heart of Judaism Is en-
shrined sacred and immortal word
Guty-which makes of man a moral be-
ing, and links him to the moral source
of the universe. Deep in the heart of
Christianity is enshrined a sacred and
icimortal word-love-which makes of
man a. spiritual being, and links him to
the divine source of all life. Humanity
needs both these words in order to
tecome the perfect creation 1t was
meant to be- The one gives the con-
science the other the heart of man
kind; the one Is the masculine. the
other the feminine element Of the
world. Judaism gives the Ten Com
Inan0ments, and Christianity the
Beatitudes; but only the two to-
Ge.ner can yield the perfect idea.-the
love that is simply the highest duty,
and duty that is lost in love-" AMI IL:
order to come into this closer higher
union, into the faith which makes hu-
mo nifty whole and not a thing of paris,
and the truth which makes men free"
Miss Lszarus contends that fixed and
formal C des mist disappear; III, outer
framework of history and theology
must fail away, and spirit be left tree
to seek Spirit" The ESSAYS are
thoug' tful and devout outpourngs Of
pious natures aspirations for a
higher and better humanitarianism
which shall not bind the souls of men
in the fetters of prejudice or creed.
