Psalmists, bards and sages, it is impos-

assailing lies. 1t is impossible to love
justice and Righteousness without
waging relentless war against injustice
and wrong, whether the person de-
scribed in the eleventh chapter of Isaiah
is the Messiah, as orthodoxy believes or
some king of Judah, as we the followers
of Higher Criticism, think. One thing is
sure He is not pictured as weak cow

Tolerance

Tolerance word is derived from the
Latin term "tolerare,
to "suffer," to allow certain persons,
things, conditions to exist, although
it is not our duty to do so, and
although we have a perfect right
not to suffer, not to allow, in fact
to prevent and prohibit their existence;
We can tolerate the worst nuisance, II
we are silly enough to do so. But the
man who is firm in his character and
principles will not permit an infraction
on his rights We owe it not only to
ourselves but to human society, to pro-
test against every injustice and to fight
against every wrong done us. For it
everybody would allow others to deprive
him of his rights, the whole fabric OF So
ciety would suffer and ultimately be out
of joint. Christianity may teach non
resistance to constitute the highest OF
ethics and morality. Judaism looks
upon non-resistance as upon cowardice.
Judaism teaches that he who is smitten

cease to be virtues, yea, are crimes
against ourselves. For self-preservation
and self-defense are the highest and first
laws.
Ii then it is our sacred duty
to keep away the brigand, high
wayman and thief from our premises
regardless Of tolerance, how much more
must we say away with thee when our
highest ideal possessions are threatened
to be stolen, when insidiously attacks are
made on our most sacred treasures by
those who, because we deem them our
friends, have access to our homes. What
would we say of Rabbi who would
preach Christianity to his congregation
which pays him for the propagation OF
Judaism? Suppose in an orthodox
school, synagogue, or seminary teacher
would diffuse the doctrines of Radical
Reform, how long could he keep his po-
sition? All the bombastic phrases of
tolerance would avail him nothing,
he would have to step down and out.
Our orthodox and even our conservative
Jewish papers in season and out of sea-
son in the last seventy years were al
ways at hand with the cry ''step down
and out as soon as a Rabbi dared to
come out honestly for reform And they
still have the hardihood to repeat this
howl to-day even where such Rabbis
preach their liberal doctrines and ideas
to Reform congregations. These impudent
meddlers never put to themselves the
qustlon: Is it our business to interfere
with the internal affairs of Reform con-
gregatlons which have engaged Rabbis
whose liberal progressive ideas were
well known to them? Oh no. The only
motto OF these self-appointed grand in
qulsltors who, as rule, have been and
are still ignorant of the literature, his
tory and philosophy of Judaism and
with very few exceptions do not observe
at all the ceremonies, precepts, laws. OBJ
