RABBI SIMON GIVES LECTURE
Advises Hearers Not to Be Isolated
from Society.
Gives FOrcefuI Views on the Grim
inaIs and Their Punishment.
Does Not Defend Them.

Rabbi A3ram Simon spoke at she Eighth
Street Temple Of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation. last night. on Society and
the isoisted individual"
DO not isolate yourself from society"
said DIT. Simon for the man who tries
to Isolate himself is finally isolated by
society. Do not rely entirely on your own
strength, for man is only unit. and man
is not by himself or for himself. II II
we're not for society, man could not live.
eat. or sleep for one day. The man who
puts himself against society is the man
who Will need society before he is through.
There are three distinct classes OF
society. There is the upper. or super
social or sUperman. who imagines him
self superior 20 society. Second. is the
anti-social, or criminal class. anarchists
and the like, and the third is the non
social, or unfortenates, and those who
are diseased. like lepers and dependents.
What has society 10 do with these
three classes? Do not judge your neigh
Dor until you have put yourself in his
place. In the olden times il was the
mans duty to judge his neighbor. and
it was out of revenge that men were
punished To-day We judge Of our Grim
inals, but IL is not out OF revenge that
we punish them. We have been passing
judgment on criminals without putting
ourselves in their places. Stop and look
az the crime committed from a criminal
standpoint. and the situation will look
different. Why do we punish our Grim
inals and offenders? In the olden days
1t was revenge that was the motive for
punishment. To-day il is for redemption
and salvation. 1 do not seek 10 defend
criminals. but we should not judge our
neighbor until we have put ourselves in
his place.
Society is as much responsible for its
criminals as II is for itself The conditions
that produce criminals are 10 be consid-
cred by us. Put yourself in the GRIM
inaTs place, and you will not be so hasty
10 judge. Society should Isolate GRIM
inals, only until they reform.
