Cry for Union.
The cry for union Is in the religious
air" SAYS the Jewish Outlook but why
shout il aloud from the housetops when
no effort is made to realize II? Why
cry. union when there is none and seem
ingly cannot be any, Reform and Ortho-
dox Jews can no more unite In common
worship than the myriad sects OF Christi
anlty can or Will unite. Every now and
again Jew or Jewess will come forward
with the plea. but 1t is never attempted
or put into practical form. II would never
pay, The time Is not even yet ripe for
tionalities, their children will coalesce
in Americanism, We must leave 1t TO
This leavening force TO do the work, Some
ganized Christian unity foundation TO
unite all Christian sects. We wish II
luck. but It VIII never get there. You
as the world will last people In tho !
same communion will think differently |
ard often widely differently, on religion,
Union is nice thing to talk about but !
unreallzable. What we can do, however, |
IS to think more about our agreements |
than our differences"
