righteous in the sense that he had never
done wrong. or that he was then morally
perfect, but in the other sense that all
his sins were pardoned. and he was ac-
cepted as righteous, because he so be-

Justification as that by which a man now
comes into favor with God. This is that
righteousness which the Gospel offers in
contradistin ton TO the righteousness of
the law. Rom., 4:3). This is also the
reason for the title given to Abraham

title may be applied to all men of like

CONCLUSION.-Some think that
Paul and James hold opposing views. the
one teaching that men are justified by
faith tRom., 51). the other that they are
justified by works fverse aD. The great
American intidel expended his sarcasm on
this seeming contradiction of Scripture
The truth is the two apostles are in per
feet accord. Paul writes of the interior
and initial facts of religion, James Of the
exterior and consequent results. The first
enjoins a faith which produces a good life
the other a good life that comes from
faith. Paul would have men know that
unaVailing for salvation. and they must
first of all believe. James urges with
equal force that men must not stop with
believing, they must bring forth out OF
that faith and with II good works. Faith
and good works must go together the one
as the source the other a. the frIitage.
Men are indeed justified by faith. but their

ministry is to assemble in ST. Petersburg
next October. But the assembled rabbis
have besides formulating these recon-
mendations also decided to apply to the
government with a petition in regard TO
Jewish conference, and decided to pc
tion the government to abolish the pale
OF settlement and other restrictions
against the Jews and also to annul the
edct chechita in Finland.
Russian Jewish newspapers give thor
ough details of the conference in Wilma
and state that the sessions were held be-
shind closed doors. The only ones pres
ent were the forty rabbis whose sigma
lures were attached to the special per-
mission which was granted by the min
istry for the holding OF this conference.
The promoter of the conference was the
noted Rabbi SchnaerSon of Liubovltz and
he was supported by the Chassidic capi-
talists Of ST. Petersburg and S. Treinden,
who were instrumental in securing per-
mission of the government to hold the
conference.
Rabbi David Karliner and Rabbi Grod-
ginSky acted as charmen. The first ses-
sion was opened bS Rabbi Katzenelen-
boRen of st. Petersburg, who in short
address outlined the purpose of the meet
ing. The program subsequently, drawn up
by the committee contained these points:
l. recognition by the government of the
orthodox rabbiS: o concerning the edu-
cation of the children: 3. TO exempt chill
dren from attending the government
SCHOOLS on sundays ana jewish HollldNS >.
T. the founding Of a general association
for the strengthening of the Jewish re-
ligion; ), concerning Sunday trading: ..
prohibition of the chechita in Finland !,
Z, recommendation of the governmental
rabbinical commission.
Resolutions were attached to all these
points and plans outlined for future
work.
The question as to the recognition of
the orthodox rabbis by the government as
the sole leaders of Judaism caused a long
debate. and resolution favoring the
furthering of this demand was unani-
mously passed. Among other needs the
question of secular educa ton for these
ra bbis was discussed. The general feel
ing Of the conference was against the
assumption by the so-called official rab-
bis OF the leadership in Jewish affairs,
and there was evidence given that con-
itself in Russia against the power that is
now entertained by the official rabbis.
