Mrs. Abram Simon of Washington

was sensible of n new religious atti-
tude of the American Jcwess. she said
the union was seeking a sane and eff
fcctive basis for the united action in
the great common cause
The problems which perplex us,
she said. have gone beyond mere sex
considerations. Religion is no more
masculine than 1t is feminine. The
emotional idea in religion does not
make religious duty any more womaniy
than manly. We still labor under the
old tradition of an-made Bible II
a woman had written the first chapter
of Genesis she would have formed
Adam out of the rib or womb of Eve.

Power undreamed of has been placed In
her hands and her scepter will sway
from howell to White House. Woman's
emancipation is no longer to be ar
gued. 1t may be dreaded. deplored OF
defied, but it is to be reckoned with.
blessed is the institution which can
win woman's whole hearted, enthusiast
tic support and 1ifegiving energy
Why should not religion be that IA
yored cause? Why should not Judaism
be that fortunate cause?"
