Philadelphia, Sept l5.-"A vamp
destroyed Samson,
And now a modern Samson-the
United States-is in the dangerous,
death-compell ng clutch of a modern
dimple kneed, half dressed 'yamp'
Such is the theme of a new year
discourse by the Rev. DR.. Joseph II.
Krauskopf in his sermon at Keneseth
Israel Synagogue Monday
In his review Of THE Sin That De-
stroyed Babylon, Greece and Rome
Or. Krauskopf said;
Society women adopt the styles of
undresJ for reasons not very different
from those for which they are adopted
by the professional courtesans.
Plays unabashed in exposition of
nakedness are presented that rob
womanhood OF the aurora and mys-
terry that constituted its greatest
charm and glory and that rob the home
of its chastity.
Think OF the young women who
drive young men far out into the
country at night and who regale
themselves with strong drink taken
from their fathers cellars,
whenever and wherever people
substitute the worship OF gold for that
OF God and makes indulgence Of ami
NAL lust its ruling passions its de-
cadence has set in and its day Of ruin
is not far distant"
Divorces have increased at such
an alarming rate says DR. Kraust
kopf "as TO excite wonder whether
marriage will not eventually be dis
carded." Then he added
Samson, the one time mighty giant
OF Israel, whom sensuousness robbed
OF his strength and eyesight and who
was made a prisoner, chained
grinder in a mill and sport Of his
enemies, stands before men as the per
soniGcat on Of the mighty giant, the
United States,
"As he refused to listen to the wise
counsel OF the high priest and to curb
his passions and to continue true to
God and His people, and became a
prey to the sensuous lure Of Delilah
SO are ever increasing numbers of our
people turning deaf ear to entreaties
of priest pastor and rabbi, spurning
the teachings and warn .ngs OF God and
following the seducing strains OF
every form OF moral deprayity.
"ln their embrace, like Samson We
will be shorn of our strength, robbed
OF our vision, made slave and sport
OF enemies. Repentance will come,
and lament will com, but repentance
and lament viii come too late.
