great problems of to-day, inter-
national and national, economic
and social, the problems of capt.
tai and labor,-in a word, the
teemig problems of society in
the Western world,-might the
more esily reach solution, if the
fundamental principles of Juda-
ism-justice and righteousness
socially interpreted according to
the genius of our faith-were
vigorously advocated and gener-
ally applied. The religious lead
ers of the Synagog might thus
bring to the fore the latent pow
ers of Judaism and speak in be-
half of our religion to society at
large.
Moreover, if our spiritual
guides were given the opportuni-
ty to stress before the wide
world the cardinal principle of
Judaism, namely, peace in all its
ramifications,-in and
international peace,-how much
society would be benefited there
by and mankind blessed! 1t is
idle to indulge in possibilities;
and it may not be quite fair to
say that with Jewish principles
regnant in the hearts of men, the
Messianic era would long since
have made its appearance. But it
is just and proper to maintain
that with the ethical contribu-
lions of Judaism powerfully
preached to and felt by the world
at large, society to-day, in all

Of the outsiders are not always
guides for us. We must not slav-
ishly subscribe to the verdict of
the critics outside the Synagog.
We have standards of our own;
our services, our teachings and
traditions must not always be
guaged by the measuring-rods of
our neighbors. We have a psy-
chology of our own; we have in
buttons peculiar to ouprselves;
we have our own conceptions of
worth and value.
Without INDUCING in Hegelian
Technology, it may nevertheless
be in place to analyze the three
successive stages of the process
of the human mind to compre-
bend truth. There is ever a the
sis, an antithesis and a sythesis.
Accordingly there is, first, dur
ing the period of youth, the I'M
critical acceptance of the tradi-
tional view characterized by
blind credulity and implicit
faith. Secondly, as a reaction
from it, there follows during the
adolescent stage the bitter ex-
perience of skepticism and doubt
often bordering on total denial.
And lastly, with dawning matur-
ity comes the time of adjust
ment, or the rejection of some
elements and the retention of
others in the matter uuder con-
sideration.
In this light, we may under
stand the Jewish attitude of

mind toward the world during
the ages. First, the Jew spoke OF
himself as the Chosen People in
an absolute sense, and firmly
believed that there was little
that was good outside of his own
world. That unquestioning atti-
tude of our forefathers was
quite justifiable in the early
stages of our history, when
there was comparatively little of
ethical and spiritual truth out
side of Israel. And even later, al
thugh Christianity, by appro-
priating and popularizing in d.
luted form the essential teach
ing of Judaism, brought some
spiritual light to the world, but
because of it's inimical attitude
and prosecuting tendency to-
ward the Synagog as pretend
ing to supplant it, our fathers
could not entirely look with IA
vor upon the contributions of the
Church. But according to the
well-estabiished law of the oper-
alton of the human mind, the
pendulum later began to swing
in the opposite direction. Thus
with the spirit of liberalism and
political emancipation ushering
in the modern era in Jewish his
tory, came the opposite view of
looking at the outside world as
the possessor of all that is good
in culture and civilization, while
considering all things Jewish, if
not entirely valueless, then GER

"The country received with interest,
to say the least, the announcement
from Chicago, where the Republican
national convention was assembled,
that platform plank, dealing with the
subject of world peace, had been
drawn, leaving out the Lodge reservn-

all interests, meaning thereby the
Lodge reservationists, the mild reser-

senator's that openly opposed the

The fact that these fish have been seen
again this year opens up an interesting
question to anglers. In 1918 salmon
were seen in large numbers on the shoals
at the east side of the lake, many OF
them being found dead in the shallow
water. One fish was weighed and tound
to tip the scales at 1914 pounds although
badly diseased with fungus, and stliL
larger ones were seen. These salmon are
a western variety known as Chlnooks
and while many of them have Deen
/ planted in eastern waters they never
/ have been known to reproduce under
| landlocked conditions.
| When so many of these fish were seen
| in 1918 it was claimed by some local
Ianglers that they we're the survivors OF
a planting known to have been made IN
I the lake several years previous, and that
having reached the reproductive period
would die as they do on the PACING
coast after coming in from the ocean to
fspawn. The appearance of the salmon
this wear, however. either disproves this
theory or proves that later paintings OF
Chinooks not generally known about
| have been made. 1t is a peculiar tact
| that so few salmon are caught from
Spofford lake through the spring and
summer. So far as is known only one
or two were taken the past year al
though many anglers trOlled for them IN
deep water.
