PARDON OUR SUGGESTION.

We have been informed by
several friends that our worthy
colleague and dean, DR.. Henry
Cohen of Galveston, is not enjoy
ing as good health as we would
wish him to have. 1t may be that
1t is none Of our business to in
trude on DR.. Cohen's affairs, but
as a matter of fact DIR. Cohen
does not belong only to Calves
ton; he belongs to Texas and to

entitled to. This Is not always
possible for the rabbis to do, and
nearly always now impossible
among the teachers and their
families. The other day, a high
school teacher in a large city
was forced to sell flowers in Or
der to supplement his income,
and enable him to live. Think of
a plumber, a clerk or a carpen-
ter or bricklayer having to do
this! We know of some rabbis,
who are not much better off
than the teacher. And their con-
gregants are paying increased
income and excess profit taxes.
We do not like to see men who
have been successful in the min
istry leave it, because their con-
gregations do not increase their
salaries in proportion to the in
creased cost of living. 1t used to
be that the rabbi was content to
work for glory. And the great
rabbis who have the large posi-
lions still do-though we, our
selves, strongly suspect that
they share in a material glory
that the rabbi of the smaller
town knows not of. But glory is
not legal tender-and merchants
refuse to accept ministerial
glory in payment of their bills;
and there are some rabbis, who
are like laymen, in the respect
that they do not wish to take
too long a chance on the reward
in the world to come. To such
men, the task of having to be pc
nurious when many of their con-
gregation are wallowing in
splendor, is irksome, and only
fanatics can blame them for
leaving the pulpit for fields of
endeavor that will at least en-
able them to live decently. and
enjoy the material fruits of their
advantages.
1t is a glorious thing to work
for glory when it glorlfies-
when men and women realize
what material sacrifices mean;
but it is an exceedingly thank
less and a martyr work to slave
for the spiritual interest of 9th
ers, when these others, material
ly rich, are spiritually impossi-
BILE, and enthusiastically, blind. To
be a rabbi, is an honor only
when the rabbi and the congre-
cation make it SO; when the con-
gregation fails in its duty, the
position Of rabbi becomes a bur-
den, often too heavily for one
who is not made of martyr stuff
to bear; and what man of modern
practical, business-building men,

GLORY THAT DOES NOT
GLORIFY!

ter of rabbis leaving the pulpit.
We prophesied that unless con-
gregations would wake up to the
reality of things, many would
leave the pulpit. Since we wrote
those articles-and they were
copied extensively and comment
ed on-several rabbis have left
the pulpit, just as predicted, and
we believe that the end is not
yet.
We are reminded that only
last week, one of the finest of the
older American rabbis, DR.. Chas.
Rubenstein of Baltimore, resign
ed. DR.. Rubenstein has been a
rabbi for more than a quarter of
a century, yet he found that he
had to give up his chosen work.
And now come private advices
that one of the most beloved Of
the Southern rabbis has decided
to leave his pulpit after twenty
years of active service, and go
into business, in order to sup
port his family, with that digni-
ty of which it is worthy.
The problem is really much
more serious than many think
and there are many laymen who
have a sincere desire to see the
ministry a profession of honor
and stability. Rabbis are human.
Though men who have the larg-
est positions in the land, prob
ably will not leave them-yet
even that is by no means certain.
Neither will the rabbis who are
unable to earn a living in any
other way leave-they can't.
But there are many men who
prefer the ministry, if they can
possibly remain in it, yet who
are dissatisfied-capable men,
who will find that they have to
leave, because their congrega-
tons do not appreciate either
the sacrifices that are being
made, nor the pride that is
wounded because men of infer
ior training, inferior culture and
inferior mentality, presume to
tell the rabbis what to do and
how to act.
1t is becoming a sad fact that
the more one knows, the longer
one studies, and the harder one
works along the intellectual
lines, the less does one get. It is
becoming the style to penalize
men and women because they
are educated. It so happens that
educated folks, too, are human.
They want to live as well as the
uneducated but more lucky peo-
pie; they want to dress as well,
and they want their families to
have at least as much as they are

martyr! Yet why demand it OF
one who is not fortunate enough
to have made money? Does the
Jewish world want to establish
even unconsciously-the fact
that only a schlemiel becomes a
minister of God?
Of course there is no conscious
effort on the part Of Jewry to
force rabbis out of the pulpits.
1t is just rank thoughtlessness.
There is not a Jew worthy of the
name, who has not the highest
regard for a rabbi-even when
the rabbi is a schlemiel-but re-
spect alone does not give bread,
and glory as we said, does not
pay bills and support families.
The laity must come to recog-
nize that a rabbis is worth all
that it can possibly get for him;
his work is not measured in dol
lars-though necessarily his
worth must be; no man can esti-
mate the value of the service Of
minister; the aid to the poor,
the comfort to the sick and the
sorrowing; the sharer of joys
and sorrows; the Importance Of
proper representation in the
communicative thousand and
one things that a rabbi is called
upon to do-no one can estimate
in dollars and cents, the useful
ness of a successful rabbi to his
community.
But again we must repeat
that all of this is not legal ten
der. We must learn to give to
our congregation organization as
much as it deserves. we must
learn to sacrifice for it, if neces-
sary; we must not under-value
the task of the minister, by CIV
ing ourselves up to every luxury,
and leaving the last crumb for
the Temple and Synagogue. If
we do, then we must not be dis
appointed, if men of red blood
and active brains give up the
highest and hottest calling, to
earn bread in other fields of en-
deavor.
Woe to the people who know
not their teachers! Woe to them
who cannot appreciate the build
ers of their ideals! Pity those
who are blind to the needs of
their ministers-for in the end,
their own ignorance, their own
blindness, and their own mater
ial grossness, shall hurl them to
destruction!
