American Holidays
Not Celebrated In
A Proper Spirit
By Rabbi M. ]. CRIES, President Of the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis

THE birthdays Of Washington
and Lincoln should be remem-
bered not for the celebration
Of the days, but for the powerful
messages they bring.
Unfortunately all the holidays on
the American national calendar
have been transformed by the
worldly spirit of our generation to-
public holidays. The day of the
Declaration of Independence and
our national day of Memorial ARE
NOT CONSECRATED AS DAYS
OF NOBLE THOUGHT OF
COUNTRY AND OF NATIONAL
UPLIFT, BUT ARE DESECRAT-
ED BY ALMOST UNIVERSAL
ERRYMAKING AND FEAST
ING, PLEASURE SEEKING AND
SPORT.
What lesson the public men of
our own time might learn from the
life and memory of Washington!
BOTH HE AND LINCOLN WERE
LOVERS OF THEIR COUNTRY:
BOTH LOVERS OF MANKIND, HON
ORABLE IN THEIR PUBLIC LIFE
AND CLEAN IN THEIR PERSONAL
LIFE, THE TWO GREATEST OF
AMERICANS-AMO THE GREAT
EST IN ALL THE WORLD.
