while he supported Professor Wenley
in advocating a school of religion. The
latter individual urged such a non-sec-
tartan school of religion, favoring the
study of Christianity along with the
religions of the Oriental (?) savage
and primitive races. While the idea
is good, we nevertheless are assure,,
that the study of religion cannot be

circumstanced and conditioned. There
is too much One-SidedneSS. overmilch

to humanize and religionize denomina.

it was Professor llarnack who. some
years ago, declared that the individual.
who knew his own religious system

spoke truly. Yet how to overcome the
difficulty of reading one s peculiar de-
nominational religion with that pccul-
lar denomination s mind! The souls

This is perfectly natural The same
would be the Interpretation of Episco-

forth. Each denomination should be
fully acquainted with the scheme of
all other denominations. and can in.
deed be so acquainted: but school of
religion as suggested would not be
feasible because of the over-injcction
of particular personality. We will
have to run on as we are doing for
some time to come. We would not say

now assuming some probable shape.
This new scheme is mutual aid. where
by the synagogue will become the cen
ter of mutual assistance to its men,
bers who, after faithful and dutiful
membership, fall upon evil days in
the twilight of their lives. The mat
ter has many estimable qualities t.
commend it, since it makes for the in
stitutionalizing of the synagogue. our
activities are so disconnected that one
or the other of them become dilapi-
dated. The lodge. the club and the
synagogue, in these days. work
against the success of themselves.
They should be united, and then II
grand mission could be successfully
consummated. The synagogue should
be something more than IA prayer

function is general and covers all re-

1t not infrequently hap

also more or less distin-


guished Jewish laymen who lecture
about and do things, receive glorious
tributes for sympathetic rtmarks upon
Jesus the Jew. Too oft do these peO-
pie tiirt with our neighbOrs in order
to bring forth such encOmiums. We
consider this rank folly. 1t is all very
well to give everybody his or her due.
but to rush to claim Jesus as the great
Jewish prophet par excellence. and to
especially distinguish his pilfered
teachings as original is unnecessary
and not very commendable. Jesus de-
serves no credit for striving. if
he did, to spread the great eth
ical gospel of Judaism. While
the Jew has greatly divested
himself of all prejudice about Jesus.
which was only natural when the Jew
was constantly subjected to every in
dignity and persecution in the NaZa-
rene S name! there is no need for him
to now rush to the other extreme an
laud him, rs so many of our speakers
do, merely for show and for the sake
of being advertised as liberal and gen

Jewish homes is there Il change of

have departed somewhat from the con.

respect. Apart from all religious con

nevertheless, is of more value than the

independent of public worship. its pri-
mary objects being ''to carry out the
measures of justice and benevolence. -
1t is refreshing to hear such state
ments. Too much stress is put upon
prayer, and public prayer. In the
synagogues. the older gatherings were
largely for instruction purposes. In
the ancient Palestine communities, the
Sabbath was not the occasion for larg,
temple and synagogue gatherings
Mondays and Thursdays. the great
market days, when people from the
countryside crowded to the cities. were
the occasions for public assemblies.
whereat the law was read and ex-
pounded. Consequently, it is not sur
prising that Jesus. who presumably
was typical and ordinary Jew of
his time. did not prescribe public wor-
ship. The rabbis encouraged it be-
cause of its ultimate effects. 1t
brought the people together, afforded
the opportunity of moral instruction
and discussion, and uplifted the moral
tone of the community. Such is large
ly the value of public worship today.
'Tis true in the Middle Ages, and even
nearer our own days, church attend
ance was compulsory, its infringement
being met with IA fine. All this, how
ever, is being done away with. \
larger and a saner view is being OBJ
tanned. After considerable wander
ing, people are going back to the letter
of the old standards. Public prayer is
being made incidental rather than
fundamental. The some move would
be wholesome in the temple. OF
course, all this effort would seem but
visionary and difficult at the start.
but the time will surely come, and it
will not be very far distant, either.
when men and women will be won to
the acceptance of the view of the
learned Dean of Ripon, when the
church will be unified in an ethical
and practical manner, when it will
humanize individuals, regeneratc so

last that such measures are detrimen-

church, and are consequently acting
wisely. OF course, the source of this
leveling up and down is largely due
to selfish interests, but Mitoch shelo
