II. is to be regretted that the con-

the matter will not quickly be forgot

Knudsen's position is supported by a
large number of laymen throughout
the country. if no by a great major

DR.. Johannes Ording, who was final
ly chosen to the professorsnip, was
recommended unanimously by a jury
of Swedish. Norwegian and Danish
theologians to whom the question was
referred after the university and gov
eminent authorities we're unable to
agree. He was also supported by the
entire university board and by the the
illogical faculty with the exception of
DR.. Siguard Odland. The latter pre-
sented Chr, Ihlen and had the support
Of Councillor Knudsen and the lay folk.
Their objection to DR.. Ording was that
he was too modern and that his teach
ings with regard to the sacraments
were not in accordance with the old
Lutheran conceptions.
The government did not interfere
until matters reached AN acute stage.
Premier Nicholson, as a compromise,
suggested that Mr.. Ihlen be named as
professor in systematic theology and
that an extraordinary p~rofessorship in
religious history be created for Dr..
Ording. The %storthing was favorable
to this plan, but DR.. Odling and his
following refused to accept the COM
promise.
Councillor ,lknudsen personally was
willing to accept, but as 1t was op-
posed by the laymen AMI would cause
trouble for the future he could not
consent. For the same reasons he ten
dered his resignation when his author
ity was overridden. DR.. Odland also
resigned his position with the univer.

minister, is fifty years old. For a

Numedal, Norway, is much interest

railway line the entire length of the

derived to operate an extensive line.

THE JEW IsH LOOK

1.-The highest function Of the prophet is
to turn back the wicked to righteous
ness
Aye, but to lead this fight, the rabbi
himself must be morally invulnerable,
1t must seem trite and commonplace to
mention the obvious. But it will do no
harm to recall that he who wishes to lead
to moral heights must himself first at
tain them. The purpose of the prophet
lies in the word Of God that he breaches.
His power and the influence are in the
weight that his own life and character
give to his words. Learning without
righteousness is vain. Eloquence with
out honesty is worse than valueless.
There is an especial honor and dignity
attached to the Office Of rabbi that lit
tleness and meanness on his part would
betray. An Elijah suffered exile, and
Jeremiah Imprisonment rather than be
faithless. An Elisha refused gift that
he might enhance ''kiddush Hashem." "
You will doubtless find that tempta-
ton will come to you in many seduc-
tive FORMS You will be placed in posi-
tions of peculiar and exceptional re-
sponsibility You will receive the con-
fidence Of your people, a knowledge OF
their inner lives, their joys and sorrows,
their weaknesses and strength, their tri-
umphs and defeats. You will be with
them in the crucial hours Of life when
deep emotions overcome them, when the
primitive passions of profound joy or
sorrow tear aside the veil of conventional
conduct and lay bare the soul. This
knowledge is sacrosanct trust. No levity
,oI in
terest ever lead you to slight it. Here
it is where you shall be the true priest,
your clips guarding the knowledge"
that comes to you. The honor Of your
people shall be your honor. The faith
Of your fathers must be your faith IT
you are worthy Of the ministry to which
you aspire. And while this ministry will
be your profession, let not your min
istrations be merely professional. 1.-The

Duties of Rabbis

Edward N. Calisch Of Richmond, in de-
fining the duties Of Rabbies said in part:
'"The rabbis of Israel must be leaders
of leaders in religious development. They
must realize the responsibility OF their
office, it's high ideals, it's prophetic char
acter They must drive home to the
consciousness Of their people the sense
of their responsibility in the evolution
of the human race, the sense OF their
stewardship Of the highest ideals and the
deepest truths Of religion. And IT ever
generation needed an awakening OF the
sense of stewardship, it is this one. The
obligation Of honesty rests upon all men
at all times, but if it can be said to be
more binding at one time than another,
it is when a man is placed in position
of fiduciary responsibility. Steward
ship of the interest Of others is the holi-
est Obligation that the law and the sentl-
ment of men recognize Yet how is it
regarded in this age? l am no pessi-
mist to condemn an age for the sins
of few individuals. But when our daily
newspapers are filed with the accounts
of the scandalous faithlessness Of men
in high and responsible positions; when
we read of the insurance scandals, the
railroad crookedness, the political graft
ings, the packing house horrors, when we
realize that these are men who have been
honored by their fellow citizens, and men
who have not the excuse of necessity to
palliate their horrible crimes, when we
realize that the sense of moral RESPONSE
bility seems to be utterly lost in the com
mercial, industrial and political worlds,
then must we realize too that it is the
hour for Israel to act. If ever there was
one ideal to which Israel has been true,
it is the maintenance Of it's trust, its
stewardship Of the word Of God This
has been the very raison-d 'etre OF its
life. The confidence Of our God has been
placed in our fathers. 1t has never been
betrayed by them. Shall it be by us?
A thousand times no! There is no one
who has louder call to lead this fight
than the rabbi. He must imbue his own
people with the keenest sense OF their
moral responsibility, for Israel is the
trustee of Gods truth. There he shall
fight for civic honor and public purity:
There is no reason why the rabbi should
not lift up his voice for public morals
and awaken the public conscience. He
is no alien, l care not where rocked the
cradle of his childhood. His people are
not here by liberation or by sufferance.
There is none that is more right; none
that has greater duty. If he succeed
he will indeed perform his office with
honor If he can correct one great evil,
and call back to truth those who have
GONE astrav his duty is nobly done.
