The Jewish outlook., 1904-12-09

1t is difficult religion because it never
palters with the attractive allurements
Of pantheistic mysticism, but takes it's
stand upon the definite doctrine OF the
Divine Fatherhood, and even-broadly-
interpreted-of the Divine personality.
1t is difficult religion because it stands
in its severe simplicity, with no mys-
terious ceremonies, without sacraments
OF sacrifices, between two extremes, be-
tween an excess and defect, both of
which it rejects with equal confidence
and pertinacity. Being thus, as it were,
in the middle, mean, it is yet also, like
Virtue in the definition of Aristotle, an
extreme. For it claims to be the best
and truest religion. And once more, it
is a difficult religion because, avoiding,
as it believes, the exaggerations, or err
rors, of either excess or defect, with all
its simplicity and severity and reason
ableness, it yet asks as all religions ask,
for enthusiasm, devotion and allegiance
1t yet asks for the service of the whole
The Jewish outlook., 1904-12-09

partly, also, because we believe that
public worship is in itself good thing,
from which strength and help and glad
ness may be derived.
Moreover there are other and larger
reasons why the weakening OF religious
life and of it's expression among large
number of Jews is deeply deplorable.
Perhaps some Of those who are present
to-day may be made little keener by
considering them.
Those who care to think about religion
at all must admit that Judaism IS gong
through difficult and critical time. 1t
is on it's trial, as, in a sense, 1t has never
been before 1t is subject to new in
fiuences, some of them disintegrating
and dangerous in the highest degree.
But Just at this very time when Juda-
ism is passing through these difficulties
and transformations that it is a
period of modification and change, OF
growth and development, l profoundly
believe outer and bigger world is
full of religious stress and activity.
Great forces are at work, some Of them
ir the interests of religion, some Of them
half or openly antagonistic to religion,
but most of them opposed to that view
VI IellSlOIl, CLdG CoIlCCplloll VI No'i tlhet
His service in the religious life for
which Judaism pleads, with which it is
associated. Judaism, or, at any rate,
the Judaism which every preacher from
this pulpit has preached, is not reac-
tionary, but a liberal or progressive re-
ligion. 1t is religion which would
wish to be on good terms with science
and free development of thought. 1t
would claim to be religion wholly free
from sacerdotalism, and from the tyr
amy of authority in matters Of belief.
But, on the other hand, it is a Theistic
religion, and upon Theism it must as
suredly insist 1t does not define God;
it does not limit Him; it realizes that
He must haye million million aspects
unknowable Of man; it is aware that
many Of our ways Of speaking Of Him
are but dimly approximate and meta
phorical.. But, on one tenet about God,
Judaism can never loosen it's hold with
out ceasing to be itself; the tenet, the
dogma, that, in a real sense, God is our
Father and King, the Source of Knowl-
edge and Of Righteousness, the Author
and the Inspirer of Goodness and Of
Love.
Yes, Judaism is a difficult religion,
not merely an easy one. It is difficult
religion because in it's essentials it is
so simple and so pure. 1t is difficult
religion because, in it's essentials, it is
reasonable and sane. 1t is a difficult
religion because it ventures to dispense
with one immensely powerful religious

haps, not distant, may do better than
we, for they may have greater power
and deeper faith; but one more effort
we wish to make, one more offer, one
more appeal.
The day of small things we must not
despise, and even few may witness for
a great truth. Yet, to some extent, also,
in the world as it is, one must look at
the outward result, and measure util-
tiles by size. The guilty city could not
be preserved if there were less than ten
righteous men therein. What the exact
number may be is not to be determined,
yet it is obvious that it would not be de-
srable to carry on and continue these
services unless an adequate number of
worshippers attend them.
1t seems strange that there should be
any living Jew who would be glad that
the Union Services should cease, wheth-
er in the West End or the East, but it
is not that such one may be deprived
Of his joy that we who founded the un-
ion are anxious for it's continuance. The
only personal feeling which we should
associate with our own failure is hum
BILE sadness that we were not competent
enough to succeed. But the real causes
for regret would lie far deeper, and
would have nothing to do with even a
higher selfshness such as that. We
know that the outward is, in certain
measure, the index Of the inward; as we
act, so, partially at any rate, we are.
While a few intensely religious persons
exist who rarely, or never, attend any
place Of public and outward worship,
with the great majority is is not so, it
cannot be so. The religious life, in it's
best and highest sense, is, in the case
Of most persons, fed and sustained by
worship, so that the decay Of the sec
ond produces or accompanies the decay
Of the first. The fewer the number of
Jews who attend religious worship, the
poorer the quantity and quality Of re-
ligious life in the community at large
Especially does this argument hold as
regards our own services. For at the
services in the synagogues there are
some who are present from custom or
habit; some go to please others; some
because it is still, perhaps, the proper
thing to do. All these reasons have
their uses and justifcations; I would
deprecate none Of them. But they are
not the highest and best reasons To
our services, however, we may assume
that people only come because it pleases
themselves, because they find in the SER
vices some satisfaction or contentment
And, on the other hand, the reason why
people do not come is not because the
service is held at an inconvenient hour,
or is inordinately long, but simply be-
