congregation that should be spir-

praise to a spiritual leader. Ours
are but the immature me-

acquire more delicacy Of taste

rabbi would be actually to hon.
or him. A congregation might
wake up to the realization, after
having had his services for a
number of years, that the rabbi
is more than a sublimated Sham
mes or clerk of the congrega-
ton; that he is a gentleman Of
learning and culture, and thus
deserves to be held in high es-
TEEN. Furthermore, he is ordin-
arily a man of refinement of the
heart, of ideal inclinations and Of
special training rendering use
full service to society. The spirit
ual values of life are no less i'm
portant in the makeup of man
than the economic aspects; and
he who labors for the enrich
ment of the life of the spirit,
and for the appreciation of the
fine and subtle influences about
us-of God, of duty and desti.
ny-is to be regarded with no
less esteem than the successful
merchant or storekeeper. So it
behooves the membership to
consider his important position
in their midst, looking up to
him as to one laboring for the
finer ideas and ideals among
them, and for the inculcation Of
lofty principles of religion and
ethics. AS such he is worthy
of being accorded an honored
place in the life of the congre-
cation. And at a special con-
gregational rejoicing this
might be crystallized in formal
action by those he serves.
A still better way of honoring
a rabbi would be by personal
cooperation. Regard and az
lection for a spiritual leader
may be indicated in no better
manner than by encouraging
him in his efforts and stimulat-
ing him in his endeavors. A con-
gregation might signify their
appreciation by frequent at
tendance at services, and by res
ponding to his appeals for relig-
ious observance and traditions
making for a wholesome Jewish
life. The personal attention and
the eagerness to work with him
in vitalizing the influences en-
anating from the house Of God,
will buoy him up as nothing
else will, and cheer him on to
an ever active and successful
ministry. Such response will
count infinitely more in his life
and labors than ny extra com.
pensation that a congregation
might offer him.
Too much praise cannot be
given a congregation for adopt
ing the custom, happily grow
ing as the years roll on, to elect
their rabbi for life, after he has
shown his worthiness. The
method of re-electing every
few years, so humiliating to the
religious leader and so cheapen-
ing to the congregation, can be
easily relegated to the limbo Of
oblivion after he has demon.
strated his capacity to serve his
people faithfully and well. The
tenure of office for life places
the ministry on a higher plano
and enhances the dignity both
of the rabbi and of the congre-
