THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

it springs from a deep conviction
of the divine origin of the physi-
cal and moral law, and of the
necessity of law, social, and polit-
ica1 or governmental, for the sta
bility and order of human society.
Nature herself hedges man in by
multitudinous laws that he burst
not transgress. And, what is
known as moral law has it's main
roots in the conditions and needs
of human life in society. It is,
therefore, a part of the general di-
vine scheme of things, the order
of Gods universe. AS far as the
moral law is concerned, there is
no question that it is of divine
origin. And laws enacted by hui
man wisdom for the protection
and welfare of man, in so far as
they are in accord with moral
principle, may be said to have
the same divine sanction. "Man's
world" say the Jewish sages,
"rests on these three pillars: The
Law, worship, and charity

SHAVUOTH AND THE LAW.

The old idea of Shavuoth as a
Palestinian harvest festival is
completely lost sight of, while its
historic significance as "the sea-
son Of the giving of the Law" is
given exclusive emphasis. In the
centuries of Israel's dispersion,
the material conditions. and cir
cumstances of his life in his old
homeland lost all meaning and
value, while his one great spir-
itual possession, the Torah, be-
came of supreme Importance.
For the Law he lived and died.
The most striking expression of
the idea of the Laws paramount,
nay almost exclusive, place in
the life of the Jew, is found in
the saying attributed by rabbi
to God: ''Would they had for
saken me-" says God, "but kept
my Law" No wonder that one
Of the three great feasts of the
year came to stand entirely as a
memorial of the giving of the
Law, the greatest event in Israel's
history.
Such excessive veneration of
law may seem exaggerated. Yet

CONFIRMATION.

The solemn rite Of the conhr-
nation of boys and girls on Sha-
vuoth, which is modern innova-
ton of the liberal synagog, may
be of great religious value in the
life of the young, if their elders
show the proper appreciation of
it's purpose Confirmation, like
it's antecedent Bar Mitzwah, is
meant to impress upon the Adde'S
cent boy and girl their response
bilities as members of the Jewish
community, their Jewish re1i-
gious and social duties. During
the solemn service in which the
boys and girls are participants,
the proper impression is undoubt-
eddy produced, and would be last
ing, were it not quickly effaced by
the counteracting example Of
many of their elders, very often
their own parents. The young
people may pledge their loyalty
to the synagog, and may be very
much in earnest, VIII lie doing so.
But the pledge is soon forgotten
when they see the parental exam
pie of Indifference to the synagog
and its activities. And so in re-
gard to all the other obligations
that devolve upon members of the
Jewish community. Here as in
other instances one ounce of ex-
ample is better than volumes of
precepts. The confirmation of
our youth, therefore, must be an
annual reconsecration of their
elders to the duties and response
bilities of Jewish manhood and
womanhood.

THE EXTRAORDINARY
CONVENTION.

The Extraordinary Zionist
Convention has taken place. Our
delegates have already returned.
According to the best accounts
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1920-05-21

was extraordinary, indeed. IL
was convention of great enthu-
siasm and jubilation. All the
great orators of the organization
were there to lend it inspiration
and eclat. To add to the general
verve and ecstasy of the multitude,
several Zionist philanthropists
were on hand, among them the
princely Nathan Straus, and do
mated handsome gifts for the Jer-
usalem university.
The street parade on Tuesday
Of the convention week was also
most thrilling event. About a.
600 people are supposed to have
been in line-war veterans, school
children, rabbis and hoary-headed
patriarchs.
In addition to all these demon
STATIONS of JOY and rejoicing, res
olutions were adopted at the con-
vention instructing the delegates
to the Jahreskonferenz at Carls-
bad to urge upon the World Zion
ist organization and the British
government the adoption of GER
tain measures that will hasten the
realization of the Zionist hope,
among such measures being the
removal of restrictions on immi-
grafton, and the carrying into eff
feet of the provisions of the Pitts
burg platform.
We have no doubt that the
delegates will carry out the in
structions impaired to them, and
will urge the policies and princi-
piles of the American Zionists on
the Jahreskonferenz, which in
turn will recommend certain
measures to the British Admins
tration, which in turn will do
what best suits its purposes for
the time being. Let us not fool
ourselves any longer, Palestine
is now to all intents and purposes
a British colony. England will
for some time have her hands full
in keeping the Arabs subdued and
quiet, not SO much because of
Zionism and the Balfour Declara-
ton, but because of the Arab ma
tionalistic and chauvinistic ring
leaders, with Prince Feisal at
their head, who will resent Eng
llsh domination. The realiza-
ton of the Jewish national homes

ment. The Hebrew cultural
ideals, however, can and will, be

attention Of autoists to the fact that
the trip between Rockland and Au-
gusta can be shortened some eight or
ten miles by taking the old stage
route, going through North Waldo

Mills. The condition of the roads has
been improved so that this route is
now possible and while it may not be
possible to go as fast as on the WAL

for other cars necessary on the more
travelled road makes the time taken
about the same. The late David Tai
