7: The Watchword of the Spirit

harnessed to the engines of destruc-
ton which crushed the flowers Of life
and had well nigh destroyed the very
promise of hope in human progress.
The war, which presented, on a gigan-
tic scale, the ghostly spectacle Of ma
terialism gone mad, has forcibly re-
minded US of the truth that beside
great enterprise and vast material
achievement, we stand in need of the
spirit of humanity and of justice.
In truth, not by strength alone shall
man prevail. Remove the sense of
right from a nation and it is trans
formed into a band Of outlaws. De-
prive man of his conscience and char
acter and you have a brute. Neither
our physical bodies nor our muscles
make us human beings as much as the
subtle something which we call the
soul, that spark of divine energy that
glows within each one of us and makes
us children of the living God.
To cultivate the reality of the Di-
vine spirit in our lives, and to make
it the determining factor in our
thought and conduct shall be the fore
most object of Temple Mizpah. Like
every synagogue that is true to its
purpose, it shall emphasize the truth
that we must submit ourselves to Di-
vine guidance if our lives are to have
meaning.
Men not familiar with sea life some
times wonder to what purpose the
government expends heavy sums on
the maintenance of light houses along
the shores of the Great Lakes and the
oceans. 1t is because they never sailed

q vessel on the trackless waters. Ask
the men that have piloted ships amid
raging storms and threatening bill
lows, and they will tell you that the
friendly lights that glimmer from the
shore cut the night and pierce the
darkness of the soul. In calm and in
tempest the beacon light brings the
feeling Of safety Such safety is Of
fered to all of US, voyagers on the sea
of life, by the beacon light of the
house of worship. Men and women who
have grasped the meaning of life
know the vale of the light Of religion
under all conditions. Others overlook
it in the day time Of joy and prosper
ity but the night comes when grief
settles upon the heart, when the shad-
ows of despair fall upon the spirit, or
when their life course is lost in fog,
then the house of God offers them
help in trouble. 1t appears as a light
in darkness and rekindles the extin-
guished stars Of hope.
Men do not always perish because
of hunger and thirst, Of poverty and
want Not even sickness is the chief
source of misery. More often are we
brought to ruin because our vision is
darkened, because the ways of life are
confused for US. Like the blind, we
grope in darkness, moving around
aimlessly with faltering steps. What
can redeem US from the power of
chaos and brighten our lives in the
steadfast light of ideal truth such as
Judaism offers to us, when it shows
that God is ever on His throne and
that His overseeing eye is upon His
creatures. The light Of God is indeed
our salvation. The creatures that live
In subterranean caves Of intermin-
able darkness are deprived Of the or
gans of vision. Only those creatures

that live in the sun acquire the power
Of sight. Daily it sheds its light upon
them and opens their eyes to a world
of splendor, even as it draws out the
flowers from the ground, and tints
their petals with its rich pigments. So
IS mans life lit up and beautified by
the presence of God, who is the su-
preme Light of the world. Mans pow
err of spiritual vision, his striving af-
ter perfection and his outreaching to-
wards harmony Of thought and deed
are Gods powers working in his mind
and soul.
To trim the lamp Of faith that all
may see that God watches over US all
shall be the further task of our Tenn
pie. 1t shall be our endeavor to mani
fest the light of the Torah to young
and old. Sound religious education is
the crying need of the hour. Many men
and women grow Indifferent to and
fall away from Judaism because they
do not understand its teachings, be-
cause they are ignorant of its philoso-
phic depths and Of its moral sound
ness. We must learn to know our
faith, and with that knowledge will
come loyalty and devotion.
We further consecrate Temple Miz-
pah as a watchpost of Jewish life.
The synagogue is concerned not alone
with the spirit but also with the body
of Israel. In its construction, Judaism
and the Jewish people are inseparable.
As the ancient expressed it: "Yis-
roel Kudsho brich her veoraiso chad
mum: Israel the Holy one and the
law are one" Strengthening the one,
your strengthen the other, even as by
weakening the one, you weaken the
other Through the ages, the Jews
have presentde united body before
the nations. Together they braved the

call this congregation into being. The
raging, weighed down all hearts with
the heavy burden of anxiety and an
guish. Supreme sacrifices were de-
manded of us by our country. Also our
brethren across the sea urgently call
ed to us for help in their distress. But
the clouds of war soon parted, and the
sun of peace reappeared in the skies,
pouring down rays of light and of
hope upon the war worn world. We
hailed the dawn Of better days by
banding ourselves together as a Jew
ish congregation and by resolving to
build a new and fitting altar to the
God of Peace in this rapidly growing
section of this great metropolis of the
west. Witnessing, at this hour, the be-
ginning of the realizatio of our
dreams, we call out:
praised be God who has kept US
alive and sustained and preserved US
to this sacred occasion. May He fur
Their enable us to complete the task
that we have begun and established
this congregation to the honor of Is
rael and to the glory Of God. True to
its name of Mizpah, may this Temple
be a watchpost of the spirit upon
whose walls shall be written Praise,
and upon it's gates Salvation. Like the
heap of stones reared by the patriarch,
may it be a witness of peace and good
will amongst US. May it ever be ex-
pressive Of the prayer Of each Of US:

Every congregation testifies to
mans belief in the reality Of the spir-
It. We love to boast Of our material
progress. With pride we point to our
mastery over nature. Our trimuphs in
the realm of physical science are truly
more wonderful than fairy love. What
the boldest intellects of century ago
dared not imagine, have become reali-
ties. We have learned how to weigh
the mountains and how to fathom the
ocean depths. We number the stars
and calculate their courses with math-
ematical precision. We have conquered
the air and have removed the barriers
of distance. We must beware, how
ever, lest our victories over the ma
terial universe and the consequent sue
cess in the industries and in COM
merce blind US to the things that can
not be weighed in the scales nor meas
ured with the yardstick. The whole
world is noy paying the penalty for
just such shortsightedness. Various
causes had led humanity to the
slaughter. Was not the chief root OF
the war the moral perversion Of the
nations? For the sake Of charging
their borders they disregarded the sa-
credness of covenants. In order to OBJ
tain coal mines and foreign markets,
they violated ancient friendships and
laughed at the holy laws of brother
hood. They readily sacrificed the lives
of millions of men in the bloody orgy.

Calls for Aid for People

If the traction crowd have the
slightest idea that they can use the
courts successfully to deprive the peo-
pie OF their rights to decent transit
in Brooklyn or any other part of the
city l think they will be very much
disappointed. The judges of our courts
are elected by the people. They know
the temper of the people, and | feel
certain that they would protect the
people in their endeavor to secure de-
cent transportation. If our judges up
hold the traction crowd in their en-
deavor to pack the people in cars in
most dsgraceful manner, subject
ing young women to most disgraceful
conditions, then l am mistaken in
them.
"The great mass of people cannot
afford to have automobiles, and are
forced to ride under the most aggravat-
ing circumstances on the lines of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit or its sub
salaries, and if they think they can
deprive people who do not own auto
mobiles of decent transit they are very
much mistaken. The people control

Pooling the shorts.

Basing their theory on recent per-
formances, many shorts came into the
market yesterday morning expecting to
see a pretty general week end sailing
movement. It was pointed out by them
that with so much uncertainty In the
cir regarding the steel strike and other
important matters only hardest OF
traders would dare to hold stocks over
Sunday. They pointed to weakness of
the market following the Pershing holi-
day last week as proof that holidays of
late have not been particularly conducive
to holding stocks. But they were badly
fooled, and right from the opening there
was a very decided appearance OF
strength. and, according to reports from
commission houses, buying was Of very
excellent character. Especially was this
said to be true in respect to some spe-
cialties as United Retail Stores, Fisher
Body. Wheeling and Lake Erie and one
or two other issues which showed pro-
nounced strength. In regard to Retail
Stores, it was limited that in the very
near future a dividend at the rate OF 81
4 a year might be declared by the direc'
tors. This would represent an increase
Of SO a year compared with the SO divi
dend paid on United Cigar Stores stock
which was exchanged for Retail Store:

Coppers Advance.

The copper stocks. which have been
more or less inactive OF late. were yester-
day under accumulation, the action of
several issues being unexpectedly Inn
pressive. IN connection with the up
ward move Walkers Copper Letter en-
phasized a factor which led to invest
ment and speculation In these issues. and
that factor is more than a probability,
as the financial readjustment, including
foreign exchange ana credits, will get
under way within n few weeks. On
this point the letter says: 1.-THE copper
situation is not weak. Far more than
the total available stocks is needed by
consumers, and 1t is only a question of
waiting until financial conditions, which
include credits and foreign exchange,
can be so rearranged as to make pur-
chases and the resumption OF Industrial
activity possible. Somebody will have to
carry the existing surplus supplies until
consumers are In position to take them
over, and it is far better that they
should be owned by producers than in
the hands of spectators and traders.
When financial conditions finally are
readjusted copper will be one OF The
first commodities to move in great vol
ume. 1t is altogether probable that the
financial readjustment will get we'll I'M

German situation.

The fact that the representatives of
every American bank or international
institution which had transactions with
German institutions in the days prior
to the outbreak OF war have been in
Germany for several weeks gave rise to
various reports in the German press to
the effect that American bankers were
about to extend large credit
to Germany. A prominent international
banker, however said yesterday that the
subject of n credit extension had not
been considered. Speaking for the rep
resentative of his institution, now on his
way back to New York. that banker
said: 1.-THE outbreak of war threw into
chaos the fiscal relations between my in
stitution and its German correspondents
There has to be negotiated a settlement
of the accounts as they stood back in
1914, and new relations with our Ger
man correspondents have to be entered
into. Our representative has success
fully concluded these negotiations and
we now know where we stand with ref
erence to the resumption of business
dealings. In addition We have obtained
first hand Information as to financial
conditions in Germany"
