Second Year
PAIN AND EVIL.

ADDRESS Delivered By Rabbi lehman j.
Elktn, Beaumont, TEXAS.
The New England magazine publish
ed an illustrated article on Christian
Science which had a large, circulation
by reason of gratis distributions The
article was mostly noticeable because
of the wealth mentioned and because
of the large imposing edfices of which
the "new cult boasts. We were not
prompted by these reasons to make
some visits to the church of Christian
Scientists in Beaumont Assuredly, the
few friends we have made while visit
ing will agree with us that neither in
wealth nor in numbers is the first
church scientists" remarkable and ev-
en- if it were, it would not make any
difference in our estimate Of funda-
mental doctrines. If intelligence counts
for anything, it must be valued by the
equivalent of being able to get away
from the tawdry and tinsel with which
wealth would hide spiritual nakedness.
And again wealth and numbers did
not save ancient Rome. con the day
of wrath wealth neither rescues the
individual nor the nation.H While
money has a tremendous reasonable
ness" about it, the dollar and the strik-
ing edifce should have no influence
when making an estimate of the fun
damental concepts for which dollars
are poured out and imposing struct-
ures are erected. In what we will say,
there is no intention on our part to
enter into a discussion Of the theo-
logical subtletes which underlie
"Christian Science" With Frederick
the Great we believe, "Yeder wird Sc
lig mach sein egener Facon." One in
his own pulpit may discuss these mas
sive principles and we do not mini
mize the differences which obtain, but
we have always been of the opinion,
that in the broad arena OF life we
should strike hands" and accentuate
those things which unite. Peace Is
the great end and aim Of life and we
should leave no stone unturned to
bring about this result. The great val
uation which the decalogue should
have for men is that as far as Its
observance Is concerned every day Is
Sabbath day, consecrated to God and
Holiness. Shall we quarrel with those
whose lives are an everyday illustra
ton of the "Thou shalt nots?" Wheth
er a man is a free thinker, an Atheis
or even deist, as long as his lif'
makes for righteousness and peace, w
may discuss the principles and con
cepts, resting safely in the though
that the worlds peace is assured in tn

stability of the three great ideals. 1t
was Simon the Just who tells us that
the world rests upon three pillars
law, worship and charity.
Believing as we do that mankind
is ever marching toward the appre-
hension of those truths which in time
will unite all mankind, we do not
think that the criticism of theological
subtleties will yield fruitage or re-
suits. OF course in self-defense one
is allowed to take up the cudgel and
cowardice alone would prevent him
from doing this manly act But out
side of being a recipient of the New
England magazine, we have not been
placed in an attitude of defense. But
one of the main doctrines of the church
the non-essential of evil and pain as

good God is one that provokes to
thought and criticism To justify the
goodness of an omniscient God with
evil and pain will ever be one of
the problems of life. Naturally so.
AS physical beings we are intensely
interested in any method which prom
Uses the elimination of evil So hui
mainly holds in loving memory those
whose discoveries in the chemical sci
ences have given to suffering man an
tidotes for pain and have eliminated
those painful scenes when during the
Middle Ages limbs were sawed off
and cut off without use Of because
unacquanted with anaesthetics.
Whether anaesthetics can be done
away with and pain abolished by think
ing that it is on-eXistent-well all
we can say is, happy are those who be-
lieve it is possible.
The problem of evil is far removed
from that of pain as much higher as
the mind is higher than the body.
Now this problem of evil is the main
one with which all creeds and sects
with which religion has to deal, be-
cause the existence of evil runs con-
trary to the universal notion and COM
pact of God, who Is "oveun shebash-
omayim, our Father in heaven" Out
of the many illustrations which his
tory affords as marking the intellect
ual attempts of man to solve this ever
present problem, we will take but one
from our own history. Our ancestors
were taught that God is compassion
ate and merciful, long suffering and
full of kindness With him pain and
evil are means of growth and of larg
err life, just as the patience and the
love of parents are tested since pain
and development are the same by
which their child develops into man
hood and womanhood.

rice production. Our ancient rabbis,
acute observers as they were, tell us;
God created the remedy even before
the disease. And the mind of man is
continually endeavoring to find the
remedy which shall alleviate disease.
The real problem is not, Is there pain,
is there evil in the world? Assuredly
there is, even if they be transitory
like footprints which the water rolling
over, washes out. Have we not been
promised that God Furnishes even the
fourth generation of those who despise
his laws, but rewards to the thou
sandth generation those who obey his
commandments. The real problem is
this, and ancient wisdom rightly OBJ
serves: We C>nnot account for the suf-
fering of the righteous nor the pros
dom believed in Immortality it did not
hold out future life as, a sreward for
those who, to use a popular expression,
are poor but honest" There was no
reason why honesty should not have
its reward here on earth. Immortality
is a comforting belief and should
mould our lives and opinions, but
bread and butter demands, duties and
obligations make the present a very
great reality, and while we should all
work in the fear of God and eternity
the thought of duty, and duty in the
now present should equip us with man
Illness to struggle to the uttermost in
this world of uneXplainable ineQuali
ties, as the rabbis put it. Righteous
ness may not always be synonymous
with wealth, but who will deny that
in the final analysis happiness and con
tentment are even greater than i'll

THIRTEENTH CONVENTION OF
THE FEDERATION OF AMERl-
CAN ZIONISTS AT PITTS
BURG, PA

Before 800 delegates, representing
nearly every city of prominence in the
United States, Canada and Mexico, and
spectators that filled every seat in the
spacious Zion Auditorium, the thir-
teenth annual convention of the Fed
Grafton of American Eionists was
opened Sunday morning, June 3.
Dr. Harry Friedenwald, president of
the body, called the opening session to
order. He advocated the fostering of
youthful Zionistic organizations and
advised steps toward that end be
taken Immediately.
Or. Friendenwald said in part
The federation has built upon its So
cieties and councils, which should be
its strength and support. Their num-
Der has fluctuated somewhat, but it
has been evident that while new soci-
cites have been formed in one town
others elsewhere fell away.
More hopeful are the societies of
children. which have never been
taken up seriously and encouraged,

encouraging.

alton has made it impossible to pub

ture, which should be one of its chief
functions. | ask this convention TO

What are the assets of our accom-
pishments? During thirteen years of
its existence the federation has sue
ceeded in winning for Zionism the re-
spect of American Jewry. 1t has won
adherence, it has gained sympathizers
and it has hushed the lips of scorn
and Vituperation. 1t has placed Zion
ism before the Jews of America as a

A MEMORABLE
WATCH MEETING

= view YEARS EVE came right
IN in the middle Of series Of
Il "protracted meetings" which
had been started In a little
church in the R2rthern part of Indiana
some twenty-five years ago. The
faithful few had been gathering night
after night for month, and not more
than a dozen persons had knelt at the
mourners' bench, including the chron-
ic backsliders. When the opening
hymn was announced all the seats had
been taken, and a dense crowd Of boys
and young men occupied the space be-
tween the door and the last row Of
seats.
AS the hours slipped by and the end
Of the old year approached the service
changed into a season of prayer and
testimony. The little clock which
hung on the wall behind the pulpit
finally pointed to II o'clock, and the

He Is the wonderful New Year
Open your heart, be 1t sad or gay.
Welcome him there and use him kindly,
For you must carry him. yea or nay
Carry him with shut eyes SO blindly.
Whether he bringeth Joy or fear.
Take him; God sends him. this good

Thursday--I don't see how 1 could ever
have thought 1t dull staying at Aunt Har-
riots. One thing was that 1 never took
enough interest in taking walks. Mr.. Con-
nOrs has taken me for several, and have
seen some wonderful views.
His aunt has been very Ill for two or
three days. Tom must be entirely wrong
about his being SO envlous to get the for
tune she is going to leave him, as his voice
sounded so regretful as he told me of this
last attack Of hers. He says whenever she
has one of those relapses she rallies and is
much better than she was before Her
birthday comes very soon, on which she
will be a hundred. She intends giving an
entertainment of some sort to celebrate It.
Freddie" Spencer was there to dinner the
other night and 1 asked him what she was
like

history and the different philosophers and
authors. l heard her say: Was 1t at the
court of Frederick the Great that Voltaire
said: sire, thou art but box Of worm

and finally said respectfully that perhaps
1t was police court.
Still they seemed to hit 1t off very well
together. He grew rather tender after a
while, in a very respectful way, and aunt
quite blushed and began to say things In
French. Poor Smull began to get fear

"You may remember her, Mr.. Smull? One
of those lovely Hamlen girls. Her mother
was one of my most intimate friends. The
boat finally got in and he escorted her
down the stairs and to where her suitcase
was standing. AS soon as he saw that he
turned pale again. He had to carry 1t for
her though, and when we were settled in
a hack to take us to the station We left
him completely exhausted

took quite time and the united efforts OF
two men to get aunt's suitcase on board,
which she Insisted on taking right along
with her instead of checking 1t through.
She got very nervous about not starting
and asked a man who came by what the
matter was.
She said he had such a nautical walk she
was sure ne was the captain, or the first
mate or something.

me afterward that he was really quite

wondered If his mother could have been a

man with a name something like that
