A REASONABLE CREED.
Article First eve Believe in God"

Article First eve Believe in God"
All builders OF creeds must begin at the
same point. Whether they cherish the am
bilious design Of constructing elaborate
system of thought which shall command
the respect of future ages or whether they
are simply trying, as are we. in quiet,
modest way to state chiefly for their own
satisfaction the substance Of their faith,
they must all start with the being of God.
We assume this as the basal thing In the
universe. and. though we cannot prove it..
as we demonstrate proposition in geome-
try, we are able to tell why we personally
believe in God.
First, because men always have believed
in God. The idea is imbedded In the con-
stitution of the race. Who can tell how and
in what dim ages of the past it lodged itself
in the minds of men? But the idea today is
universal as is the idea of gravitation.
We cannot lightly waive one side this testi-
mony to the existence of God. The general
belief in God. however crude it has been in
some periods of history, however imperfect
1t may be in many minds today, is, in our
judgment, not persistent and self-orlgl-
mating fancy of the human mind, but rather
the reflection Of a great self-existent reality
In the second place. we believe in God be
cause otherwise this is an ineXplcable
world. The existence of God alone gives
meaning to history and to the present-day
life of man. If there be no God, the uni
verse is tangle, life mockery, love
deluson, sorrow and pain and death the
darkest of mysteries and there is no such
thing as a moral order.
In the third place, we believe In God be-
cause Jesus Christ believed in Him. Jesus
to say nothing more of Him-was spiritual
expert, and just as you go to Edison to find
out about electricity and to Marconi to be
instructed on wireless telegraphy, so you go
to the one person who seems to have the
clearest, sauest view of spiritual realities
to ascertain whether there is a God. His
testimony is clear, unequivocal, sufficient.
He does not speak like a man deluded or
insane. In the contrary, His calm, positive
words are those of one who knew.
For these three reasons, then, we believe
in God. And there is nothing In modern
thought which precludes the existence of
such a God; indeed, rampant atheism and
dogmatic agnosticism have had their day
and ceased to be. The profoundeSt thinkers
today are admitting that out beyond the
reach of science, inaccessible to the micro
scope, the telescope, the dissecting knife, is
q force. mighty, impalpable. omnpresent,
which pervades and sustains all things.
- Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns
And the round ocean and the pleasant air.
And In the mind of man.
What scientists call force and what the
poets vaguely define, we people of simple
religious instincts prefer to call God. There
fore it Is that convinced by the witness OF
Others and by the intuitions Of our own
mind we reverently declare as the first
article Of our creed
We believe in God.

HIGH ORDER OF MUSIC BY JEWISH CHoIRs

and who, as a matter Of fact, is the presi-
dent Of the congregation
The cantor reads nearly all the service
that IS read from the prayer books and
sings a good portion of It, It is often OPP
tional with him whether certain portions of
the service shall be sung or read. If the
rabbi has preached too long, It's safe bet
that the cantor is going to read as much
as possible and have no more singing than
he can help.
Sometimes for instance, he will cut out q
hymn in such case, and in some of the
synagogues there are push buttons on the
cantor's desks and electric buzzers in the
choir loft to signal what the cantor wants
done. In one temple it is customary to
have two pieces Of music on the choir
stands as choice for closing number.
If it is late, the cantor pushes his button
twice and short "Enkelohenu' is sung.
If there is time enough and the size of the
congregation warrants it longer. elabo-
rate "Adon Olom' follows the cantor s

Other sudden changes are apt to occur
in the course of the service. The music
Is generally manuscript and written in
single parts. SO that the singer has to count
his time and his rests and he knows as lit

But If he isn't an expert who can play

with the other, or If he doesn't know the
music very we'll, then you come in on your
own initiative. And there have been wrong

At such times you are not sorry that the

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Rev. Max Grammar, who has served
as cantor in synagosues in Berlin, London
and Newark and is still under thirty-six,
has been engaged to succeed the Rev. Sol
Rappaport. who died last year, cantor
Of the west end synagogue as 1t is popu-
larly known-a designation easier to re-
member than Shaarai Tephilla, which is it's
proper. legal name.
This synagogue Is situated in West End
avenue and is one of the best attended and
most influential of the uptown synagogues.
The Rev. F. de Sofa Mondes Is its rabbi and
the services are more orthodox than those
at the Fifth Avenue temples, Bethel and
EMANUEL which means that they are lon
ger and that the cantor has more to do in
the singing line. Shaarai Tephlla is not
as large as the two others, but it Is an i'm
pressive place, with more orientalism evil
dent in its interior design than in any Of
the other large synagogues uptown.
Changes in cantors are very rare, there
having been but one other notable change
in recent years. In that case the Rev.
William Sparger resigned from Temple
Emanuel and the Rev. Simon Schleger
became the cantor there.
The new cantor at the West End Syna-
gogue was for the last three years barry tone
soloist at Temple Bethel, where the quality
of his voice, Its unusual range and his tone
production have been matters of compli-
mentary comment on the part of the many
singers who have passed through the choir
and of the many organists who have pre-
sided during that time. Walter c. Gale.
organist Of the Broadway Tabernacle, who
devotes considerable time mornings to
playing for the Laird of Skibo when the
latter is in New York, used to describe Mr..
Grammar voice as luscious"

Mr.. Grammar, who was trained in the
theory of harmony in Russia and Berlin.
has written several of the most impressive
numbers that have been sung at Temple
Bethel since he became soloist there, and
the recent death Of the Rev. Herman Gold
stein leaves him. Nav Spicker, director of
the Temple Emanuel choir, and the Rev.
William Sommers, who Is not now con-
nected with any synagogue, practically in
possession of the local field of music writing
for the synagogues.
The burdens OF the Jewish services seems,
to the Gentle mind, to rest upon the can
tors shoulders and they have supreme
authority over the music. Perhaps that Is
why the synagogues have such good music,
for it Is commonly said (and not by any
means jocularly) that the chairman of the
music committee of the average Christian
church doesn't know GOOD singer When
he hears one.
But the cantors do and so do their con-
gregations, and they're learning more. 1t
is no uncommon thing to find that Cen
tile visitor to Jewish house Of worship
who hasn't heard of cantor and does
know that there are rabbis, and that they
are supreme in their temples. has sat
through a service laboring under the false
impression that the cantor is the rabbi,

Altar of Westminster Cathedral.

Altar of Westminster Cathedral.
From the London Tribune.
The altar consists of a huge block of
Cornwall gray granite, unpublished, but fine
axed. 1t is twelve feet long and four feet
wide, without any gradus-the six great
candlesticks, with a crucifix Of correspond
Ing size, standing alone upon it. at St.
Peters in Rome, in perfect simplicity
The balda chino, on the other hand, is a
gorgeous piece of work, on which no labor
or expense has been spared. 1t consists en-
tirely of marble. decorated lavishly with
lapislazull and mother-of-pearl. 1t is sup
ported on eight great pillars Of yellow Vero-
nese marble. The pillars are triumphs of
quarrying Nothing Of the kind has ever
been attempted before. and 1t was doubtful
whether columns of such proportions could
be produced in single pieces. They rest
upon handsome plinths of verde antico inset
with panels of purple brescia. At the top of
the pillars magnificent capitals of white
marble support a perfect marble canopy.
The platform beside the altar and the steps
leading to the core are beautifully inlaid
with panels of brescia.
But no description or photograph or draw
ing can convey an idea Of the wonderful
food of iridescent light which Is reflected
from the altar when fully illuminated. The
baldachino was intended by the architect
to be the jewel of the cathedral. and his
aim has been realized. The briliance of
the effect is. Of course. heightened by the
somber color Of the brick walls around and
the vastness of the cathedral The bal
dachino is forty feet In height, or as high
as an ordinary three-story house, but is
nevertheless in perfect proportion and har-
mony with the great building. 1t will serve
also to indicate to those who cannot hope
to see the completion of the cathedral what
magnificent place 1t will be when 1t is
finished.
