to the UNIQUE position of the Jews, we
do not find much mention of the Sab
bath problem. But with the begin
ming of the nineteenth century, when
the walls of the Ghetto were torn
down and the Jew emerged from his
seclusion to mingle with the world
and it's life, the problem which con-
fronts us today was begun. AS early
as 1916 a Rabbinical conference was
held at Breslau at which serious ana
earnest d%eliberatiOn was given to the

the people were then scarce out or the

were far freSher to them in Germany

two generations later. Yet they even
not ONLY recognized the gravity OF the
situation but the necessity OF some &C
.tion that. radical as it may seem, was
vital to the cause of JuralSm. AmoES
the members of that conference were
Geiger and Holdheim, two Of the plon-
GERS of that glorious reform movement
in Germany of which we here III Alief-
lea are the heirs and beneticlarleS.
Holdheim was Outspoken for rad1caJ
action. but the hour was not ripe
Geiger was president of the CONFER
ence.
In summing up of its work, he SAID:
"We know that we have erected no
perfect reconciliation between the
Sabbath obligation and the practice OF
the people,, that we are but paving
the way for the future, and must cave
it to the power of a pure and relnv12
Grated Judaism, and of history, when
is also a revelation of divine Provt'
dence to bring about a complete al
justment."
DIFFICULTIES INTENSIFIED.
The passage of the years simply in
tensifed the difficulties. In 1861 a con-
certed movement was inaugurated
here in Richmond to secure a better
observance of the Sabbath and oil
days. Doubtless such movements
have takenplace in every city in the
union. But it has been Impossible
to stay the tendency of the times. In
1901 the central conference of Ameri-
can rabbits appointed a commission OF
seven to report upon the question Inc
commission reported in 1907 at lEs
meeting in New Orleans. A heated
discussion followed, but no action was

taken. The commission was contfn-
usd n it reported again i'm 1909 aft
detroit. Again a heated discussion
n the conference adopted n resoIu-
ton pledging itself to the historic Sat
urday Sabbath as a fundamental insfi-
tuition of Juraism, and seeking TO iml-
prove It's observance. Again in 1905.

y what avail nave been pledges
and resolutions? Conditions have not
been ameliorated and the historic Sab
cath is steadily losing its strength, its
sanctity, its dignity and its appeal.
AS a result there are two evils creep
ing in which | regard as most serious
dangers. These evils are the loss of
a Sabbath consciousness ON the part OF
the people at large, and the effemini-
Zation of the synagogue.
lone of the most lamentable things
in connection with our problem is the
fact that the violation of the Sabbath
is accompanied by no qualms of CON
science on the part Of the actor and
no reproach or loss of standing in the
eyes of the community. How this mas
come about is readily apparent. When
necessity makes a breach i'm the walls
of our moral citadel, convenience fol
lows, to enter and take immediate adj
vantage of the moral sensibilities.

1t is a powerful loss to our spiritual
life, this loss of a Sabbath conscious

force with every hour of it's contin

Babbi Calisch preached on the
Fourth Commandment in Beth Aha
bah temple last evening. The sermon
was a continuation of the one deliv.
cred last Friday.
DR.. Calisch said, in part:
1T will be generally conceded that
a Sabbath day and it's proper obser-
vance are necessary factors Of our
life, both physical and spiritual. The
body and brain cannot thrive without
their stated periods of rest, and the
soul cannot prosper unless it's virtues
be cultivated through the medium of
worship and spiritual recreation. That
we have a period of rest, but no prop
or spiritual recreation, is likewise true
Of practically the entire body of Amer
lean Jewry. In my ermOn of last
week l enumerated the causes which
have combined to make this condition
the changed spiritual attitude of the
world at large and the thorough idefI-
tificatiOn of the Jew with the cOn
omic and social activities of Ameri-
can life.
Our Sabbath day has been secu-
larized till naught is left but an at
tenuated shadow of it's one splendil
spiritual dignity, authority and sanc-
tity. The problem that confronts us
is not new, but it presents today graz
er conditions than eve before. Ii
is not new, for We read in the Bible
that in those early days there were
those who d%isregarded the Sabbath
holiness. The prophets Isaiah Qyiii.
49, and Ezekiel (xx) Numbered againsI
the Sabbath Dissertation, and Nehe
miah (XiiiD recounted the sins of the
people in attending to their various
pursuits on the sacred day.

as church members we count only the
heads of families. Where the hus-
band and father plants the standard
there the family gathers. 1t is the
proper method. The family is the unit
of every phase of organized human
society. Judaism is a religion of pow
er, of discipline and of duty, a religion
more of deed than of creed. 1t rests
on the basic doctrine of justice.
Though none can be reader or o
sincere than myself in conceding h
peerless glory of service and of sacrl-
flee which the women of Israel have
rendered through very age, and in
acknowledging the wonderful nfuence
they exeht in the conservatism of the
ideals and the practices of faith, yet
I maintain that Judaism demands that
it's banner shall be held aloft by the
head of the household and that under
its folds a sympathetic, united and in.
separable family shall abide, for the
DEVELOPMENT of their w characters
and the maintenance of the glory of
our faith. That this attitude has serv-
ed to add much strength to Israel in
the past no one who is familiar with

SHORT HISTORY OF THE SAB
BATH.
"While definite information as TO
the beginning of Sabbath observance
, is lacking, yet there is sufficient to
permit us to say that the Sabbath Is
; of purely Semitic origin, and that its
! observance was one of the earliest
among the festal celebrations of the
| ancient Israelites. 1t was originally a
day of joyous worship. With the re
form movement under King Josiah
in the seventh century B. c., begun
with the discovery of the book Duet,
eronomy, we find that an historic basis
was given to the Sabbath celebration.

April 15.-With the snow two feet deep in every direc- tion from the camp and from three to five feet deep in the hills and with the snowstorm still continuing, it is possi- ble that President Roosevelt will be compelled to delay his hunt here or con- tent himself with smaller game than the grizzlies he has planned to kill. For week now the snow has fallen day after day. Not twenty-four hours have passed without storm. All that pre- vents the roads and trails from being absolutely impossible is the warm weather that has intervened and to a great extent melted the snow.
