NOT CYNICAL. SCEPTIC
ECCLEsIAsTEs SHOULD DE GIVEN
CREDIT FOR BEING HONEST
IN oUTPOURING OF A
TROUBLED SOUL.

Charlottesville. Va, Aug. RABBI
Ettelson delivered Saturday morning
an illuminating address on the Omar
khayyam OF the Bible" From the
point of view of numbers the audience
attending was very gratifying, includ-
ing members of both the summer
school and the University of Virginia
faculty.
Rabbi Ettelson criticized the two
classes Of interpreters of Ecclesiastes
those who explain away mis- moody
utterances and make OF him solely a
religious teacher and those who as
sert that he was cynical sceptic and
explain his moral teachings as the in
terpolations OF well-meaning religious
scribes. Both. the rabbi said, leave
the book truncated with all the life
blood flown away He urged that we
give Ecclesiastes the credit for being
honest. With this viewpoint we may
see that the writings of Eeclesiastes
are the outpouring OF troubled soul,
and that from this result the contra
dicrions found In the book
While not much is known about the
author of Ecclesiastes, Rabbi Ettelson
stated that II was certainly not Solo
mon. Ecclesiastes spiritual biogra ply
is much better known than the facts
of his life. The rabbi chara cterized
him as one richly gifted with pas
sionate desire to know all and with
confidence that the human mind could
solve all Ecclesiastes accordingly,
like Bacon. proceeded to take all
knowledge for his province. But wis
dom when he acquired 1t. he found to
be not satisfying; as he says much
wisdom Is much grief. and he that in
creaseth knowledge increaseth sor-
row"
Rabbi Ettelson pointed out that the
next step in Ecclesiastes' life was to
plunge into the Indulgence of the
senses--not as mere voluptary, how
ever. This step resulted only In an
intellectual baffledness and a realiza-
ton of the blase nature OF the physical
experiment he had performed His
resulting observations show his reii-
gion trying to assert itself, although
they show he feels a sense of the mo-
notony OF life. He Is frankly agnostic
in regard to immortality and considers
death an insult added to injury. Ec-
clesiastes advises that on the intellec-
tual side We are not to bother with
the whence, and wherefore, or the
wither. His sanctified common sense.
however. said Rabbi Ettelson, will not
satisfy the needs Of the human spirit.
In discussing the famous twelfth
chapter the rabbi characterized 1t as
a marvellous delineation of the decrep-
itude OF old age and the coming OF
inevitable death. During the course
of his discussion the rabbi recited
stanzas OF a paraphrase OF Ecclesiastes
Of his own composition. 1t ID written
in the Rubaiyat Quatrain and adinira-
bly, preserves the flavor of both the
Rubaiyat and the Book of Ecclesiastes
Rabbi Ettelson stated that there is
a remarkable resemblance between the
Rubaiyat and Ecclesiastes. This Is
especially noted X one reads the orig

SOUTHERN RAILWAY

GROWTH OF SOUTH

Some wonderfully illuminating
statements have been given out re-
Gently by the Southern railway throw
ing light on the development which
has been going on in this section. By
way of comparison 1t Is stated that's
Since 1900 s,337 new manufacture

During this time about Sf00, 200

Farm values in these States in
twenty years have increased LIS per
cent In 1909 the value of farm crops
in the South WIS sl.f9a, 100000. This

The bank deposits of the South IN

The Southern railway seems TO have
been keeping pace with this progress,
as evidenced by the following compar-
isons given In the same article:
The total mileage of the Southern
railway In 1895 was 4.392. In 1913
it was 1887.
The gross revenue per mile in 1898
