done, personality is fact we use for
life. The French proverb says the
more it is changed the more it is the
same. Personally it is a fixed, static,
solid,, settled, and there is water be-
meath it yet life would not be possible
without it. Why have I built up this
elaborate case? l want to take you
into the realm of religion. We cannot
get final and complete intellectual
truth in religion any more than we
can elsewhere. The fire warns us up
but we do not know what the fire is.
So with the love of God. There is a
law that says knowledge and a certain
amount Of faith is essential and are
proofs Of Immortality from relig-
ious point of view but if man does
not believe in it none of them will con-
vince him. The gravest problem of our
time is the principal of authority. For
Christian and Jew, Church, Bible and
Old Testament and for the Christian
the New Testament were yesterday
infallable. Today they all are fallable.
Our belief in Judaism is by no means
altered any more than our use of cleo
tricity is affected by our complete ig-
norance Of what it is. Religion as hav-
ing something to do with every aspect
of life is the message of the Atone
ment Day. The law as a primary
source is still the fundamental Jewish
thought and it forms an organic
whole with the Judaism of the past.
We cannot liveon negations but codes
may change. True, Jewish life has the
law as the final basis of authority in
trinsically and not literally. 1t has
been claimed by some among our own
people that Judaism is not in harmony
with the life of our environment. /
want to declare to you with response
bility on this Day of Atonement that
it is not in harmony with hedonism
and materialism but that it is most
emphatically in harmony with every
prevailing spiritual excellence. The
Day of Atonement is part of an or
ganic whole with direct traditional
force. 1t is a priceless possession for
the Jew. One whole day set aside for
God with nothing to interfere and
even the hardest hearted and most cal
louise Jews answers the summons. 1t
is the most profound and impressive
demonstration Of Judaism in its rela-
ton to life. Judaism as a theory is
not sufficient for life any more than
any other religion as a theory is suf-
ficient for life not is Judaism final
any more than any other religion is
final. Shall we not, therefore, use it
because 1t has not reached its final
form? "The Waters Under the
Earth have the same message today
as they had to the writer Of Genesis
even though we know that the world
is round and not flat. The message of
the water as the waters of spiritual
life remains unalterably true and the
Atonement Day comes to the Jew
year by year to remind him that the
outward aspects of Judaism change
but that its fundamentals are eternal.

'THE WATERS UNDER THE
EARTH"

tober a, 1919, Congregation Mt. ST.
mai, Sioux City, Iowa, by Rabbi
Emanuel Sternheim.
Preaching from the text, "The Wa
tiers Under the Earth" Rabbi Stern
helm dwelt upon the ancient Hebrew
cosmognony as applied to present day
problems.
"The Waters Under the Earth" is a
phrase familiar from childhood. Some
of us said it in a monotone in day
school; almost all of US had lessons on
the commandments including this
phrase in Sunday School. Some of US
have repeated it like parrots in public
worship ever since. But does it mean
any more to us than when our childish
lips pratteled it off to proud parents
who felt we were infant prodigies?
1t is an arresting fact if we can
pause from our avocations to think
about it for a few minutes. There is
water everywhere under the earth. Dig
a well and hey-presto there is water.
Science has demonstrated to US thru
borings in Australia and India that
there is water below deserts. Carefully
examined in its relation to Hebrew
cosmogony the phrase is more i'm
portant still than it seems on the sur
face from a merely physical point Of
view. The ancient Hebrew thought
the earth flat like everybody else did.
DR.. Tasting the noted Bible scholar
gives us the ancient Jewish concep-
ton in a sentence, "The world is SOL
id expanse of earth surrounded by and
resting on a world ocean and sur.
mounted by a rigid vault called the
fermanents about which the water
Of heavenly ocean are spread" This
vision of the modern scholar agrees
fully with the priestly account Of the
Creation in Genesis and in various
other parts of the Old Testament.
Their thought about the heavens was
also interesting. They did not think
of endless space as we do but of
solid sphere. Their quaint idea Of the
cosmos explains the quaint test, "The
Waters Under the Earth" The unten-
able and quaint postulation to us was
very real to them but it did not deter
them from the worship Of God. A
knowledge ever increasing only serves
to widen the marvels Of nature and Of
God. Life was real and vivid to the
ancient Hebrew despite their uncer-
tainty about the earth. Life is real
and vivid to us despite and not be-
cause Of our scientific accuracy as to
cosmic truths. There is no fnality
about any theory but they all tend to
promote life. This is the dictum Of this
sermon. There can never be a final
truth but there is always enough truth
for life. Beneath all our truths there
is a shifting water but they are firm
enough and solid enough for life. We
may go on out Of the physical world
into the scientific world and examine
our basic truths. We cannot examine
the theory of cohesion morally but
scientifically we live by it. What is
electricity? We talk of it flowing, but
that is only a metaphor. 1t is not a
liquid, it is not a solid, it is not COS.
We say it is a force. What is force?
No one on this earth knows yet we use
electricity for life. From the physical
and natural into the higher realm Of
philosophy and if you are not afraid
Of the term philosophy let us take a
simple illustration. We say man has

 What is expected to attract one of the largest crowds that has witnessed a semi-pro game in this city is the St. Joseph's-Bridgepor Boys Club game which will be staged on No. l diamond, Saturday, at Seaside Park.
 The St. Joseph's will use Farrell in the box, and Arnold behind the bat. Hughie Clark will do the backstop- ping for the Boys Club, and the man. agement is seeking Foots Connors, who in all probability will oppose Farrell in the box.

Battling Levinsky of this city left Bridgeport early today bound for Bayonne, N. J., where tonight he tackles Johnny Howard of that city in an eight-round bout. Barney is confident that he will be an easy win ner, for he said upon his departure that he never felt better in his life and was out to stop the Bayonne wonder.
 From Bayonne Levtnsky will go direct to Philadelphia, where he will join his wife at their n-w home on Parkway avenue. He will probably return to Bridgeport on Monday for the purpose of transacting some bus mess. As soon as he has completed this business he will leave the city permanently.
