but the organization went on. the Lamroites
taking every office and not recognizing

They now hold their quarter section on the

the Laymen's National Missionary move

THE Laymen's Missionary movement is
one Of the greatest things of modern
times" he said, "and Is one that appeals
to the best instincts Of all men. II is not

1T is designed to solve the problem Of
world evangellzation and is enlistlng the
energies of men never before in the church.
The movement proposes to put usine

JEWISH CONCEPTION OF COD
This is as a Spiritual Being, Says
DR.. Frederick Cohn.
JUDAISM IS ANT1-DoLATRoUs
1t COnceives God to he Infinite in
All His Attributes, and More
Than a Living Per-
sOnality.

DR.. Frederick Cohn preabhed on THE
Jewish Conception OF God" Friday night at
Temple Israel, showing that this concept
ton was God as a spiritual being. He
took his text from Exodus s2:1, Make US
gods, which shall go before us"
In part DR.. Cohn said;
THE Jewish conception OF God was that
Of a Spiritual Being. No material image
was permitted to be made of Him. It was
& gross sin when the 1sraelites fashioned
for themselves a golden calf. Yet the vul-
gar conception demands ever a concrete
god.
Judaism was the first iconolastic re-
lgion. Its distinctive character may be
said to be that 1t Is anti-idolatrous. It re-
fuses absolutely TO compromise with idola-
try in any form. It's conception of God is
sublimely spiritual The heaven and the
heaven Of heavens cannot contain Him
God is the Infinite Creator Of heaven and
earth. He is above even mans highest con-
ception. Even by searching. man cannot
find out God. The wisest mind cannot
know the Almighty to perfection. Science
and philosophy can but grope for God.
H Is revealed most truly in moral at
tributes, Gods glory is His goodness. He
is not only Infinite Wisdom as lie is In
finite Power, but above all He is INFINITE
Justice and Infinite Love. He is the PrSvi-
dence ehind all human history and back
OF all the sXRnts, however seemingly inslg-
n~ificant, Of every individual life
God may not be a person as we under
stand personality, but only because He Is
more, not less, than personality. He that
planted the ear. shall He not hear7 He
that formed the eye, shall lie not see? He
that teacheth man knowledge, shall He
not know?
God may not be able to be perceived by
the senses, but He has created the senses
by which everything Is perceived. The
highest knowledge may not be able fully
TO comprehend Him, but lie is the source
Of all knowledge. wisdom ans truth.
only the fool hath said even I'm his
heart. There is no Cod The whole uni
verse proclaims Him. lie is the central
Sun Of all existence, the light and the
glory Of all life, The House OF Jacob
walks in the light OF the Lord"
