ham 1000 Years Ago" At tbs
meeting on First street Friday night
the rabbi spoke on "The Precepts Of
the Bible Deepl founded in the Ma
ture Of Man" He spoke as follows:
My friends. have you observed
mankind in his relation toward one
another?
Il SO. you must have come to the
conclusion that SO many are the
weaknesses and wants OF every one
of US. that We would feel wretched
without due consideration and re-
gard Of those around us. Indeed,
without some regard for justice and
benevoience toward our feliowmen,
society could not have existed nor
developed, as its sole life depends
andiis based upon the strong attach
uient one ought to feel for another.
In other words, due consideration for
common welfare has established
and does so make up society.
No real good can come out OF any
society whore its members are not
tied together in zeal to work united
ly in love for higher ideals. No
man, with only a spark Of love in
his heart, can live a life of seclusion,
separated from mankind; the soll-
tary life of a shlp-wreck on lonely
island; without hope for the fulfill
nent of his hearts desire to be
given back soon to society. He is
looking out every moment OF his SOL
itary confinement to be released
from a compulsory refuge. Surely
life has no value at all to live in
solitude Even IL benign providence
would throw the s6lp-wrecked ON an
island blessed with the healthiest
climate. rich in its bounties of ma
ture, IN abundance of every thing.
mans heart could desire to keep
him without worries and struggles
fill the end of his days, he is yearn4
ling to back with mankind; willing
to cope with the struggles OF life,
rather than live in plenty separated
from society.
Many Of those who for some dis
appointment or another, or whatever
Ilothe treason, lived in recluse the
life of a hermit, buried their
Fgrudge and sufterings and left their
retreat to start life anew in human
society.
This is a true picture Of, human
nature, as wonderful 1t may look at
FIRST sight.
1t is therefore an injustice to
charge men above all with greedi-
ness of worldly possessions; for
what mems souls yearn for above all.
is man; the friendship, respect and
confidence OF his fellowman, an at
tachment eliminating in dove. For
the heavenly spark which the AL
mighty Creator has implanted into
the hearts OF men. and which make
men sublime above all other crea-
lures, has the most creative power;
the power OF love and the yearning
to be loved; for without 1t, our ex--
istence becomes a misery, an empty
shell.
True, often do we hear the out
burst OF some person saying: "Life
has no attraction for me at al"
Surely not. If thou hast been seek
ing only the pleasures derived from
things which can be purchased for
wealth. disappointment viii follow.
Man gets sooner or later tired of an
empty life. 1t depends only on US
to get the best out of life; to live
not alone in pleasant intercourse
with our fellowmen, but to become
day by day more and more attached
to one another and Interested in the
welfare of our neighhor.
Care should be taken to be Just
and wise in all our dealings with
another. and not to expect from our
fellowmen anything which we would
not concede to them under the same
conditions. And above all, we must
have due regard and respect to the,
rights and views of our neighbors.
10, IL all could be imbued with zeal
for such a lofty. life! "A life
strengthened with the highest NOR
ais to a brighter future; or blessing
TO our earthly, pilgrimage and to
succeeding generations.
