WORSHIP AND DEVOTION.

The highest exercise of the soul
of early man-and, for that matter,
of man of all times-the expression
of his most stirring sentiments and
emotions, was worship, the worship
of a god who, he believed, was the
author of his life and the dispenser
of all the good and the evil of life.
He put his whole heart and his
whole mind into that exercise He
was terribly in earnest about it. 1t
is needless to say that it was spon-
taneous, without affectation,. hypoc-
risy, or artifciality.
But after while worship became
institutionalized, held in public, in
fixed places and on fixed occasions.
1t was then that a new tendency
began to manifest itself, the tenden-
cy of worship to become formal and
mechanical. AS in all public matters
and performances, some essential
parts of the exercise were delegated
to appointed functionaries, priests,
1evites, readers, and precentors,
who as a result of the frequency of
the repetition of their performance,
and the fact of their appointment to
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-11-21

in the synagog made all such pre-
cepts and exhortations nugatory, ex-
cept for the few scholarly and saint
ly worshipers.
That gave the modern reform Of
the worship its justification. The
synagog worship must be in Ian
guage and thru forms and cere-
monies understood by all in order to
have its refining and edifying effect
upon the soul. 1t must be carried
on in a dignifed and decorous man
ner. Some Hebrew recitations are
retained because of their former sa-
cred associations, and as link of
union with the larger household of
Israel which still retains the old
liturgy in toto. But most of the
songs, prayers, and lessons must be
in the language understood by all,
the language that comes from the
heart and reacts upon the heart.
What the modern Reform worship
needs in order to make it one of true
devotion is more ardent and en-
thusiastic participation in song and
prayer by all the worshipers, in
stead of leaving it all to the official
readers and singers. True worship
must come from the heart, and is
not to be a mere intellectual and
esthetic feast.

EXCITEMENT IN ENGLISH
TEWRY.

Something has happened to create
a little furry of excitement in Eng
fish Jewry. Mentor" the regular
editorial contributor of The Jewish
Chronicle, who is no respecter of
persons, institutions, and things in
general, has shown up the condi-
tons that prevail in the Jewish Com
munity of Birmingham. He proba-
bly, used Birmingham as an example
only. The Birmingham community
is, by the way, one of the oldest in
England The conditions, as he sees
and describes them, are by no means
fattering to Birmingham Jewry. A
steady process of disintegration has
set in. There is hardly any religious
or spiritual life there, or even Jew
ish intellectual life, any more. The
young generation is growing up
without any knowledge of, or inter-
est in, things Jewish. Both young
and old seem to care for one thing
only-p1easure and a good time
Most of the Jewish people there are
evidently quite prosperous, and they
can indulge themselves to their
hearts content-tout CONNIE chez

do the work professionally, as IL
were, for others, went thru the acts
of worship. AS rule, in per-
functory manner, it became soul
less exercise; mere lip-service.
The ancient sacrifcial worship il
Illustrates it. Originally the bring
ing of a sacrifice and its burning
upon the altar was the expression of
the deepest yearning of man to be
reconciled, and to commune with
God. But gradually the act was
delegated to an official priesthood
who went thru the performance as
matter of routine, and besides, al
lowed all manner of abuse and cor
ruption to attach itself to the cult.
That was the main reason why the
prophets of Israel Illuminated
against it. It had become thing
soulless and useless. 1t neither
came from the heart nor reacted up
on. the heart.
True worship found new express
sion in Psalm and prayer. By the
common consent of all pious souls
even at the present time the Psalms
of our Bible are the classic example
of the genuine outpouring of the
human heart in the worship of God.
Hence their popularity in the serv-
ice of the synagog and the church.
At an early time, while the Temple
was still on it's holy hill in Jerusa-
lem, synagogs sprang up in all the
lands of the Jewish dispersion and
even in Jerusalem itself. The wor-
ship carried on there, consisting of
prayers, hymns, the reading and
study of the sacred literature, and
the accompanying homily, held the
heart and mind of the pious Jew in
it's spell. 1t was genuine worship
of, and communion with, God. This
has been the pattern of the worship
in synagog and church ever since.
But, alas, for human weakness.
The tendency in the direction of
Journalism, mechanica1ism, and arti-
ficiality again asserted itself. Men
went thru the required forms and
ceremonies in hasty and perfume
tory manner. There were set pray
ers, readings, and recitations in a
language. no longer ineligible to the
mass of the worshippers, or at least
to the unschooled portion of them,
and their daily repetition became a
parrot-like performance.

THE PRICE OF COAL

The Fairmont Times states that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
has contracted for coal in the Fairrnout
region at S1.75 per ton. This is a very
moderate price in view Of the advanced
costs in nearly all other lines Before
the war a price Of from SIPS to $40
per ton for Fairmont coal was not IN
usual. The coal business has reacted to
something like normal prices perhaps
more rapidly than any other large bust
ness. and reduced costs Of fuel will op-
crate to enable manufacturers to lower
their costs. We cannot expect to con-
tinue a great deal Of manufacturing sr-
tivity on the very high cost basis that
prevailed during 1918. While price re-
auctions should bn gradual in order to
avoid unnecessary losses and hardship,
producers in all lines should prepare
through economical methods and great
er productivity where possible, to meet
lower price conditions.

THE MERCANTILE MARINE

It is gradually being borne in on the
public mind that all Of the activities,
expenditures Of money and labor. for the
construction of our great emergency
feet have. at last only produced a white
elephant which We may be glad TO get
rid Of In some way. The government
now has completed or has under con-
struction 1891 ships with a total ton
mage Of 1850. 900 tons and q valuation
in war prices close TO three billion dol
lars. Obviously the government ought
not 10 undertake to operate these ships.
The government IS now breaking down
under the weight Of the railroads the
telephone and telegraph lines and dog
ems Of other functions which 1t has un-
dertaken, some with god purpose and
some needlessly. At the very time
when our railroads. telephone and tele-
graph lines are being wrecked by gov
eminent ineffciency, we certainly do
not wish to add to the burden of gov
eminent duties by assuming obligations
for the operation Of this vast mercan-
tile tonnage. If the government did
assume these obligations it would only
mean another enormous loss from gov
crnment operation.
1t is equally clear, moreover. that the
government cannot sell these ships at
any price approaching their cost. The
best business Judgment Is that the gov
eminent should sell these ships from
time to time at public auction as the
demand for them arises; and pocket the
loss. This will mean probably loss Of
a billion to a billion and a half dollars:
another heavy burden upon the taxpay-
ers Of the country, but that Is one Of
the prices we pay for victory in the
war. and. perhaps. we might say, incl
dentally. the price OF an Inefficient
bureaucracy.

ROAD BUILDING IN WEST

mas submitted an amendment to the con-
a4asueIon permitting tho creation OF
DEBT of nfty million dollars for the pur-
nose. Of road improvement Action I'M
drP~Snhs amendment, II It prevails. can
rs.,oe taken, for some time but in the
meanwhile counties IN the state are go
Ing ahead on elaborate road programs
uS thetr own. In twelve counties pro
3scts have been approved. which absorb
an the state and federal aid to these
emunttes for the fiscal years OF 1913 anil
1870. and It Is hoped that every county
In The state win take like action by
June 3oth.
Under the federal act to encourage
road building projects approved by tho
state road department receive a certain
pro rata Of assistance from the United
States government. The total amount
OF federal and state aid available July
I, 1st from next years apportionment is
Sass7,525,OO Of which $1,2S9.S4s.o3 Is
called for by projects already approved.
The expectation is that all Of this large
sum will be called for by other counties
ON account Of projects now under way
and awaiting approval
Tho sentiment for good roads in West
virginia has been growing very rapidly
SFarmers, business men and manufactur-
ers are all beginning to realize. as they
never did before. the loss in dollars and
cents, which poor roads mean in every
Community. West Virginia can afford
to spend an enormous sum in road
building. with good roads extending
over our mountains and opening up our
lateral valleys, the. scenic beauties Of
this state will attract thousands OF
tourists every year and make it one OF
the great summer resort sections Of the

AN ECONOMY PROGRAM

In an article in the New York Sunday
Times, Senator Harding Of Ohio. de-
elares emphatically for reduction OF
government expenses. He says:
I'VE ought to run the federal gov
eminent on not one penny more than 1t
cost before the war"
He proposes a material reduction OF
army and navy expenses. the elimi-
oaetion Of hundreds Of useless depart
rsents and bureaus. the turning loose OF
thousands Of government employees to
earn their living by some honest and
productive work. and q general return to
aornethinS like Democratic simplicity.
Here is one Of the senator's express
tons:
We are spending Tar too much on the
eoyernnneat now; we are depending 100
much on government machinery TO DO
What ought to be left 10 individuals
i.ef there be less Of bureaucracy and
lnordinate expense.
Economy should be the keynote OF the
nresent Congress and Of the next admiS-
I1tratisn. We have passed through
!, saturnalia Of extravaganza; money has
been wasted as no other country In the
world has ever wasted It. Within the
last two years we have spent nearly
sixty billion dollars. or over five hun
dred dollars for every man. woman and
child in the country. This enormous
burden of expenditure is one OF the big
elements in the high cost Of living. 1t
means increased railroad charges. II
means increased burdens on all kinds
os productive industry. 1t is felt in the
higher cost Of food. OF clothing. OF boots
and shoes. High taxes mean costlicr
food and in a thousand different ways
the burdens Of waste are reaching into
tho rockets and taking away the savings
of every industrious man and woman ir
the United States. The imperialists
