The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-11-24

"Pastors Wife Says He Swore at
Her, Burned Her Clothes," so reads
big, heavy type headline in the
daily papers of Minneapolis. The
aforementioned pastor is a Presby-
terrain divine, and the story is that
his wife has applied for divorce on
the grounds Of cruel and inhuman
treatment. Readers of the daily pa
pers will recall other recent reports
of the misdeeds of clergymen of vari-
Gus denominations We think that
p-oportionatcly the number of mis-
creants in the clerical profession is
the same as in the other professions,
or in groups of men in other walks
of life. The point we wish to make
is this: The ministers certainly read
the Bible, are supposed to know it
almost by heart. Yet they are prone
to Sin just like other mortals, yea,
even those who never read the Bible.
What, then, becomes of your idea of
the Bible-as-a-basis-for- moral-train-
ing, DR.. Crafts?

ElDl 1TORlAL
CHURCH ATTRACTIONS.

We have always contended that the
people of all denominations are losing
all interest in religion as such, espe-
cially that type of it that comes with
ringing prophetic message, telling the
worshippers Of their and society's
shortcomings. People nowadays are
business-mad, money-mad and pleas
ure-mad. And if religion has only a
rebuke and scourge for all that-all
the worse for religion. People will
have none of it. Yet the churches and
synagogs cannot remain empty. The
so-called spiritual heads cannot afford
to have them so. Hence various at
fractions are offered by the churches
in order to lure the worshippers.
The idea is to get the people somehow.
In looking over the paid advertise
ments of the leading churches of Min
ncapolis, which appear in the Saturday
issues of the daily press, we found the
following announcements: "a Cathe-
dra1 Excursion Through England and
Wales" an illustrated lecture, offered
by one church to the Sunday evening
worshippers; "Garrett's Harvest Can
tata" offered by another; Motion Pic
tures-Jephtah's Vow,' is the attrac-
ton of third An Organ Recital, is
the offering Of a fourth; Orchestra,
Organ, Chorus, and certain soloist, is
the tempting announcement of fifth;
a Mendelssohn Program is the lure
of sixth.
In the meantime many Jews are
finding new attraction in the Sunday
morning lectures given under the aus
pices of Nationalist societies, lectures
in which certain type of religion and
religionists is mercilessly exposed, ridi-
culed and condemned and nationalist
thinking and thinkers are extolled.
They, too, are in quest of a new SEN
sation, although they have no grounds

a rake and tempting others to lead
the gay life, any more than knowl-
edge of the wisdom of Shakespeare,
or Emerson, or Lincoln, is some
thing that surpasses our understand
ing. Evidently such a persons idea
is that Bible words have an innate
magic power which the same words
printed in books not called Bible
have not. Such an idea, as we said
once before, is grossly idolatrous.
And we object most strenuously to
the introduction of idolatry into our
public school curriculum.
We Jews, as Jews, love our Bible
1t is the noblest gift we have made
the world. We love it as our litera-
ture, we love it for the lofty spirit
of it's prophetic teachings. We
should encourage and urge it's study
by our people and by others. But
we should encourage and urge only
an intelligent, Illuminating and edi-
flying study of it, conducted by COM
petent Bible teachers, but not
perfunctory, parrot-like reading of
it to the impatient and unwilling
ears OF young pupils, who will not
know or understand what it is all
about. The kind of study we advo-
cate can and should be attended to
outside of the public schools, whose
teachers are already overburdened
with their many tasks, and who have
no preparation and no qualification
for instruction in Bible. If we have
the choice between letting our chill
dren acquire some knowledge of the
Bible by Dr. Crafts method, or let
ting them go without any knowledge
of it whatever, we will say, let them
go without it.

TO-THE-BIBLE MOVE
MENT URGED AS WAY TO
LONG LIFE.

the Minneapolis daily press of an &C
count of DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts adj
dresses in different churches on his
favorite theme, "The Bible In Our
Public Schools According to the
doctor, all our ills, domestic, physical,
social, economic and political, will dis
appear as soon as Bible reading in
our public schools becomes the gen
eral practice.
Back to the Bible we must go,
to Its own great words in their nat
ural meaning, with less explanation
and more memorizing; that is the
need in Sunday school and church,
and especially in the public school,
where alone we can bring the great
stories and poems of the Bible to
bear on all our youth, to insure their
true success and better social life
these were his words as quoted in
the papers.
The doctor spent a week in Mime
apolis addressing many gatherings
on the same subject Here we have
a man whose honesty and sincerity
we have no right to question, but
who seemed to be possessed of, or
cbsesscd by, one idea-the Bible in
our public schools. The Inference
we may draw from his agitation is
this: The churches and Sunday
schools, where the Bible is the only
textbook used, are accomplishing
nothing, are of no use we might just
as we'll close them up; the thorough
study of the Bible in seminaries, in
religious training schools, and even
in many colleges and universities is
of no consequence; the world jogs
along in the same old wicked way
as if the Bible had never been heard
of; nothing but the unintelligible,
undigested daily reading of a few
verses in the public school, with
less explanation and more memoriz-
ing" will save the world.
The Puritan fathers of this nation
did great deal Of Bible reading, in
school and out of school. Yet we
do not know to what extent the
world was saved thereby. 1t GER
tainly was not saved sufficiently to
keep their descendants from turning
their backs upon Bible reading.
How any sane, intelligent person can
believe that knowledge of the wise,
ethical and religious precepts of
Moses, a David, a Solomon, or a
Jesus and Paul will prevent an
American youth with plenty of
sporting blood in him and with more
money than brains, from becoming

SANS-GENE' SUNG
AT OPERA AGAIN
Giordano's Work Revived
for Farrar and AmatO
Last Night.

Giordano's opera, Madame Sans
Gene" one Of last seasons novelties,
postponed fortnight or so ago because
of the illness Of Miss Farrar, was per
formed last night at the Metropolitan
Opera House.
Il was received with something less
than what Dir. Gilbert described as
modified rapture" notwithstanding
popular interest in all Of Miss Farrars
recent public and private do!ngs. Per-
haps the reason Of this lies in the
opera, which has shared the fate OF
other works Of It's kind. e.. operas
fashioned on modern plays that have
won admiration because of the fa5cina-
ton exercised by admirable actresses
IN admirably drawn dramatic cnarac-
tiers. Such characters are never IN
proved, but always robbed Of their chief
charm, by transmogrifcatiOn into oper-
attic puppets. This IL particularly true
in comedy, IN which music has no
chance 70 perform its highest function.
Sardou's washerwoman Is as little
fitted 20 become an operate heroine
as Bonaparte an operate hero. Action,
not song. IS the proper field FOR such
personages. No matter how bewtching
the figure which Miss Farrar might
present. under the name OF Caterlna
Hubscher land her impersonation OF
the operate creature has a great deal
Of charm, she is not even faint re-
Election Of the dramatic character.
As a matter OF fact, she Is not even
q French woman, and her acting last
night did not have as much sparkle
and effervescence, Of the American or
English comedy type "a il had last
wear II there was a difference IN her
singing, IL was inconsequential; out
that is a small matter. for Giordano's
music is in itself ineonsequentisl.
Mos, Of its vitality is borrowed from
the French airs which rudely enliven
