hypocrisy Too Strong In Fash
i0nable Churches.

Hypocrisy in fashionable church
es was the subject of Rabbi
Joseph Krsuskopf in q discourse
st Temple Keneseth Israel, Phil
sdelpha, on If Jesus We're to
Attend Church.
Attention was called by the
rabbi TO the ancient and medae-
Vile stories that tell of divinities
and departed saints appearing
from time to time on earth in
In tho guise of mortals and visit
ing churches and homes for the
purpose of observing and testing
the sincerity Of their religious
professions.
Rabbi Krauskopf declared that
it was too bad that there are no
such Heavenly visitors today.
In the olden days, he said,
when the belief was general that
Celestial visitor were disting-
uishable from mortsls. there was
always welcome for the strang-
sr in the church and in the home
tor the people never knew but
that this visitor might be q Ce-
lsstial caller In the guise Of NOR
tai man.
Rabbi Krauskopf does not be-
ieve Jesus would be thus well
coined were he to appear at some
OF the fashionable churches in
the garb of peasant in Philadel-
phia, at this day and age. The
rabbi said:
Let us imagine Jesus appear
Ing at the entrance of some fash
ionable church attired in the
garb of the peasant and artisan
In which He walked the streets
ct Palestine, His face weather
beaten. sun. bronzed and of
Semitic cast. His beard hair of
