RABBI HARRISON'S Theme.
The Morally Unnt Cannot Win Out

In Temple Israel Rabbi Leon Harrison
yesterday delivered lecture before a
large audience on 1.-The Survival Of the

a spiritual law, as real as any physical
law, that lends q new Interpretation to
the survival of the fittest. and, has rem
dered possible and actual the survival Of
the unfittest.
Yes, strange and inexplicable fact!
Man, a part Of nature. yet stands, in a
sense, outside of nature. He is the COM

irterferes with its processes, annuls its

There was no poverty problem. Nature

1.-The morally unfit cannot W win out and
exceptions. but they are few and decep-

large scale in the history of peoples.
THE classical nations. with all their
Intellectual glory, rotted away at the core:

How could they become degraded who

unsuggestive The unfinished picture Of
Day in the Medici Chapel Is better than
the completed picture of Night upon
the opposite side of the tomb. Like a
fallen God the figure of Day lies half
imbedded in its matrix of stone. You can

so religion loses by too much of the
exercise of mans rational and logical
powers.
1T has been asserted recently in one Of
the city papers, and by one who knows
whereof he speaks, that there is marked
decline within the last few years in the
American stage; that young woman
could not sit side by side with young
man without tingling with shame when
hearing some of the lines In the leading
plays as given in ST. Louis
In Germany these gross realisms are
Kissed off the stage by pure minded peo-
rle. John appealed to Kyria not to re-
ceive certain dangerous people into her
house and give them no greeting. Were
the old apostle among us to-day he might
appeal to Kyria's instinct of safety for
her children and advise her to re-
main away from the theater until these
gross things We're eliminated. He would
at least commend a missing society for
all theater-going kyrias.''
