the board OF education at the morning
services yesterday for It's action in issu-
ing orders that no hymns or carols shall

This action was taken at the request OF
Orthodox Hebrews, and the clergyman
said II was likely that Injunction pro-
ceedings against the board would be in
stituted.
"The supreme court OF the United
States and the court of appeals in New
York" said the clergyman, "have said
that this Is a Christian country and that
Christianity is the common law OF the
land. If these Orthodox Jews are right,
then the next step will be TO repeal all
Sunday laws, and at the request OF the
atheists TO forbid allusion to God in the
public schools.

Jerusalem that an emigration of some
nd BIddhists india india had had % come 70 Jeru
while. If there had been public schools
in Jerusalem and these Buddhists had
asked that an alluslon 10 Moses in the
schools should be forbidden at the feast
of the Passover, that 1t was sectarian,
would these Orthodox Jews have granted
the request?
Because the Christian church and
people in America have the Christian
spirit of liberation and loving care for
the religious feelings OF all peoples In the
world and grant TO all peoples the lib
erty OF worshipping God as they desire,
is no reason why they should demand
that our Christian country should cease
TO be Christian in order TO please them.
THE educated and most truly relig-
ious Jews have a chance TO show whether
the narrowness or the breadth and
beauty of Jewish faith will become dom
inant at this time. Can they not see
they way clear to cooperate with the
Christian religious force of America?
VIII they not take hold and help In the
saving OF our Sunday the only possible
religious day for this country? Will they
not unite to show their oneness with the
Christian ideas of love for God and for
their neighbors by doing the things that
best promote these religious conceptions
among the young?
IF they should succeed in destroying
our Sunday in America and taking all
thought of Christ aSd what he stands Cor
out of our public schools, would they
have brought credit or discredit upon the
