PUT RELIGIOUS 5UTY SECOND.
stern Laws Of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court

An interesting case at law. which
conferred on the observance Of an old
Jewish custom. was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant. says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged 4 clerk on ac-
count OF n elect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
TO the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order TO say kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that 1t was his privi-
lege and his duty TO say the prayer for
his departed father. while the mer-
chant. who was also a religious man.
maintained that IF Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The Judge would not allow
such an argument. but decided in IA
vor Of the merchant. because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right Of
the clerk without the consent Of the
employer"

boast Of the philistines. They

always is half blind. Its vision
Is limited by the horizon Of the
physical and temporal. u eIirii-
mates the true God as a factor
and places superstition ard
pride upon the throne Of res-
son. Evil does not recognize
God as a controlling factor in
the affairs Of life: IL does not
understand that IL oVerresehes
itself and brings about its own
destruction.
But from the Divine view
point. evil triurphs over the
good because sin is permitted
TO usurp the place Of God in the
heart and life. The fortress Of
the heart is irnpregnahle untr
the little side door Of sin IS
opened to admit the enemy.
Samson was a defeated man
from the moment he let the
earthly love usurp the place Of
God. and the final yielding 70

but the inevitable outcome Of
such unholy alliance.
