simple, while everywhere around us
hardly week passes without some
call made on the police, the legisla-
ture, the national government, and
even Roosevelt himself, to help bring
men, women and children to religious
influences.
This thought was brought home last
week as visited the public school on
Monday and every teacher made some
excuse for the pupils because it was
Blue Monday. Then it occurred to me
after all We have as good recitations
and behavior on Sunday as the pub
lie schools have on Monday, and that
is all the mere remarkable because the
children have six days in which to for
get the impressions of the one day,
and besides the Sabbath school teach
ers are as rule not experienced
teachers, as very few congregations
can afford or think of paying their
workers. Yet | believe what the
teachers in our Sabbath schools lack
in training they more than excel in
enthusiasm and earnestness.
We seldom hear anything Of or for
these silent, patient workers in our
Sabbath schools, and I for one think
we ought to encourage, help and ap-
preciate the unselfish work of the
thousands OF Jewish men and women
who devote their time and energy to
this cause. In my own school the men
and women are busy throughout the
,,ool, onJ oo,,l1 x,yan n fror1 fo root o,,
a Sunday morning, and that is un-
doubtedly true in most cases.
In one city in Alabama, in Demo
polls, one OF the most prominent mer-
chants, and highly cultured gentle
men, whose name l have not permis-
sion to mention, finds time every sim
gle week to conduct services and very
often to lecture, besides conducting
the Sabbath school classes, for which,
needless to say, he accepts no remun-
Grafton. He simply works for the love
Of Judaism. Such men embody the
true spirit of Judaism in that they
devote their work days to their busi-
ness and their leisure to Judaism.
There are men in my own community
quite able to do the rabbi s work and
always ready for every good cause.
There are unquestionably such men
and such women in every community
whom it should delight us to honor
as much and more than those who
merely give their contributions

The Jewish outlook., 1907-12-20

Every time n rabbi-this time it
was Rev. Charles Fleischer in BOs-
ton-dares to tell the truth about the
Sabbath, there is a rustling of dry
bones, there is noise and clamor
heard from the Orthodox. senior
thodox and conservative camps. The
Sabbath is not dead; the Sabbath is
alive, only in a comatose state, is gen.
orally their answer. But not one of
these champions of the Sabbath of
the Decalogue," as the time-worn
phrase goes, has ever attempted to
prove their case. Talk is cheap. Did
or could any of the staunch friends of
the so-called Saturday Sabbath pro-
duce facts 10 prove beyond shadow
of doubt that even in Orthodox, yea,
in Russian congregations, the vast
majority of the members observe the
fourth commandment, "On the sew
enth day of the week thou shalt rest,
thou, thy son, thy daughter, thy man.
servant and maid-servant?" By no
means. They could not if they should
try. Hence they shrewdly forego the
most timid attempt to prove that the
Sabbath for all practical purposes is
living force among the Jews Of the
United States. They know just as
well as we that all over this country
and in Europe it is not much better
ninety-eight per cent. of the Jews, the
so-called Orthodox and conservatives,
not excepted, willingly, deliberately
and openly break the fourth command
ment-i. e., the Sabbath fifty times a
year. Even if the proprietors OF
the Jewish stores open on the
Sabbath, would they in body
attend Sabbath services every week,
this fact would not in the least
cease to make them intentional viola
tors of the fourth commandment. For
the Decalogne the Pentateuch and the
prophets say nothing about synagogue
attendance on the seventh day Of the
week. But we and the sO-called con-
servative takers and writers are only
too well aware of the undeniable fact
that the percentage of the Rosh-Hash-
ana and Yom Kippur Jews. e., Of
Orthodox two or three days of the
year, but live like heathens 1862 days
of the year is much larger among the
Orthodox than among the Reform
Jews. The latter attend services at
least occasionally on Sundays or Fri
day evenings. 1t was just because
Judge Mayer Sulzberger was suffi-
GENTLY far-sighted to know these facts
that he proposed the introduction in
time, before it was too late, the OBJ
