be abandoned. The new era demands
that to, make religion a blessing In the

no surrender on the part of any re-

that each religion must develop its

that it may thus make its best con-

ENERGIZING JUDAISM.

1t is often claimed that our syna-
cog life, the prototype of our general
Jewish life, is cold and chilling. II
leaves many unaffected. Synngog Is
attended and the worship participated
in merely as u matter of form. 1t be-
comes no actuality in our lives. 1t
tails to warm and to keep warm our
Jewish feelings. to arouse the Jewish
potentialities in every soul. The blame
therefore may usually be laid to the
Rabbi. It is forgotten that Judaism, Is
ii. lay religion. Now. the cnergizing
uf Judaism may begin in the synagog
hut it. dare not end there. 1t must
enter into every phase of our life
Its doctrine must influence and color
our every action. OF course. every
thing. depends upon the significance of
that doctrine. Furthermore, We need
to come together more in forum for
tho discussion of Jewish dactrine Our
own doctrinal viewpoint, preserved
Theoretically isolated, tends to flabbi-
ness. We need congregational and
even communal symposia. The Anglo
Jewish Religious, Union thus indulges
to good effect A recent symposium
brought out many good points which
cannot but react upon. the souls of the
participants. Our Judaism must be
more alive in our lives. The synagos
must he its workshop, not its cold stor-
age.-Jewisll Tribune.

Judaism in its essence and its pur-
ity can meet any test the most exact
ing; can impose. The Jewish people
were once u warlike people, and their
sacred books. written in the curly days
Of the nations life, reflect that trait
But in the process of time. the great
spiritual leaders, particularly the
prophets, evolved body of doctrine
in which the love. of peace, Justice and
righteousness was insisted on as the
essential which all the people were
bound to observe. Their .leachings are
the governing doctrines of Judaism at
this time, and if they were observed
by, all the nations and their peoples
in the spirit of the inspired men OF
Irael there would be an absolute as
surance that the reign of peace amongst
the nations and between the people or
each of them would prevail in per-
petuity.
1t therefore behooves the synagog to
proclaim the great ethical truths form
ulated by the prophets. and to teach in
Cessantly and vigorously the need Tor
the observance of these principles IN
absolute good faith. Our religion
means what it says. Let those VINO
profess it ever show thar they mean
1t in the same way and teaclf others
tu observe these great and f,indamenfnl
truths. so that the spirit OF violence
may speedily depart from the hearts
cf mankind. We cannot do all that
needs be done in this direction. hut we
do a great deal. and it is up to us
to show that we are equal 10 the eff
