1.-THE CALL TO AMERICAN
JEWS"
By DR.. Kaufman Kohler in The
American Hebrew.
JEWS

IOuay 10 nave all our energies Dent
forward to the attainment of the
highest possible aims and purposes
of life as Jews, as well as Ameri.
cans.
Thrilled as we are with joyous
gratitude to God for having blessed
the American arms with triumphant
victory in the battle for liberty and
justice, we all realize that the fruit
of this victory is far from having
reached the harvest time.
We are in the midst of world
crisis as serious as was the war it.
self. Wherever we look, we see
hatred and strife, unrest and peril,
and all the combined wisdom of
our statesmen and leaders of thot
tries in vain to find the solutions
of the tremendous problems which
confront civilized humanity. Pes
simism and despair threaten to
seize one part of mankind, while
the optimism Of delusion misguides
the other. The foundations of So
ciety seem to be shaken all over
the globe. Whence shall come the
power to steady a disrupted world
and lead our age forward to the
road of safety and healthy pro-
gress in the new era ushered in by
the world war!

and there was morning, the work.

One day, the day of Reconciliation,
the great day of the One God and
the one united humanity"
Israel's World Task
What a grand outlook! What a
bright vista of the ages of history!
Do you not recognize here the very
essence and purpose of Israel's
world task, his Messianic mission?
From creations first day with its
divine fiat: Let there be light!-to
the worlds final goal, when Gods
name shall all over the globe be
the One, there is, amidst life's con.
slant struggle between the hosts of
evil and the hosts of goodness, be.

uous progress and evolution, a con.

powers, until the ultimate unity and
harmony, the peace of God, is at.
tanned.
This is the Jewish Interpretation
of history, and there is no room left
for despair or pessimism in this
system of faith, but only hope and
confiding trust with child-like
upward look to the throne of Him
who heareth prayer.
trust that all Jews felt elated
and inspired during the High Holy
Days, as they voiced the sublime
prophetic truths which for 1000
years lent ever new wings to the
Jewish soul to lift it above all mar
row sectarianism and secularism,
above all nationalism and chauvin-
ism, to the heights Of a religion
which aims to link all the nations
and classes Of men into one league
Of God-fearing and man-loving

cal system in the world that echoes

Synagogue on these great days. An
all-seeing, all-controlling, all-pro-
viding Master and Judge above, in
whose book every tear is counted
and every action recorded, and man,
the object of His paternal care, di-
versified humanity, the central
point of His Kingdom on earth;
and the climax and elimination of
His majestic reign, the all-forgiv-
ing mercy and love which recon-
Giles the repentant creature with
the Creator and the sons of men
with their Father in Heaven. Are
not in this system of faith all the
potentialities and promises contain
ed of a world united in God?
Well, is this age of ours ready
and prepared to accept this faith?
Some of us who saw in the camp
and on the battlefield Protestant,
Catholic, and Jew in the face of
death and trial, sending up in uni
son their prayers to the universal
Father in Heaven, INDUCED in the
belief that the great day Of Atone
ment and Reconciliation was nigh
Bewilderment of the New Thought.
But, looking about, what do we
behold? The great masses seem
to have abandoned the fountain of
living waters offered by the Scrip
lures and dig for themselves els
terms that hold no water. What
confusion of reason and bewilder-
ment Of mind do we find among the
thousands that follow the New
Thought which feeds the hungry
soul on the husks of faith, denying
existence of evil, sickness, and
death, and raving in the realms of
spirit divorced from the body.
Even many of our own co-relig-
ionists, in order to escape pain and
sorrow, pursue the will O. the wisp
of Christian Science, instead of hold
ing fast to the vigorous faith of
Judaism, which teaches that there
is power of evil, there is death,
suffering, and sin; but, as Gods
children, we have the powers to
overcome them and turn them into
good for ourselves and for others.
Again, there are those who in
defiance Of all laws of psychology,
attempt to transcend the limitations
of the flesh and, like the necroman-
GERS of old, conjure up the dead to
communicate with them as if they
were alive. Against all these NOR
bid mental attitudes Judaism, which
trained the Jew to battle with all
the hosts of darkness rs no power
ever fought, holds forth the doctrine
of the absolute Unity of God in who
all forces of nature and history find
their final reconciliation and har-
mony.
Judaism does not admit of any
intrinsic conflict between body and
soul, between matter and mind, be.
tween the sensual and the spiritual;
they together build up human life
and blend in mans action and
thought. When God gave the law
to Israel on Sinai the angels in
heaven, tells the Midrash, were jeal-
GUS and said: "Why dost Thou, 0
Master, bring the treasure of heav-
en- down to earthly mortals?"
Whereupon God said "Of what
benefit can the law be to you, who
have no passion to overcome and no
evil desire to conquer?"
Nor does the Jewish Monotheism
