lage on the south shore of the
Eagle river. This pine grove lies
ideal for the camper-plenty of
shade, dry ground and all the adj
juncts which are necessities for
the man with tent and camping
outfit. The association will put
down wells, build cooking ovens,
sheltered tables and keep the
grounds clean. There will probab-
ly be an attendant employed dur
ing the months of July, August
and September.
Eagle River was the first city
TO advocate a free camping spot
for the travelling public, but has
been somewhat slow in perfecting
its plans and delivering to the
public. But now that the start
has been made, it will go through
to the finish.
Next Sunday forenoon there
has been a call sent out to every
business man and any person in
terested for the advancement of
this village. TO help in the clean
ing up of the grounds, the build
ing of the necessary equipment
and the putting down of a well
for the travellers who are now
coming in punches for their sum-
mer outing. If you cannot come,
send a substitute.

Dance at Mannheim

Notices are out for another
dance at the Mannheim school
house Saturday evening.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-10-07

In our older religious literature and
our older liturgy the significance of
this day as Yom Haddin, Day of
Judgment, is given greater promi-
nence and stronger emphasis than it's
significance as New Years Day. In
fact, its character as a New Years
Day became of Importance only as
result Of it's awful meaning as a Day
of Judgment. On this day we are
told God sits in Judgment over all His
creatures, and verdicts of life and
death, disease and health, prosperity
and adversely are issued for all the
children Of man.
We can well imagine with what
terror and awe the Jew of the old
school was filled when this dav ap-
preached, and soon was actually at
hand-the Day of Divine Judgment,
the day when the divine decree is in
scribed in the heavenly ledger. He,
the Jew Of the old school, realized
only too well his own sinfulness, his
unworthiness- ss-for what human being
is entirely pure in the eyes of God?
to look upon this awful day and it's
proceedings in heaven with equanim-
ity and indifference. And so he
prayed-oh, how ardently-and i'm
plored Gods mercy.
Now, one need not be a confirmed
skeptic, unbeliever, or scoffer to ques-
tion the soundness and reality of this
idea of an annual divine Day of
Judgment. Even the ancient rabbis
themselves, many of them. took ex-
ception to this doctrine. While one
rabbi declared that God judges on
Rosh Hashonoh, his colleague with
equal authority stated that God
judges every day, yea, every minutes
every second In those days these
ideas were in flux, had not become
crystallized yet-they were merely in.
dividual opinions but not doctrines.
Somewhat later and gradually the
idea of an annual Day of Judgment
on Rosh Hashonoh prevailed.
What modern person will deny that
the idea of the Almighty One, the
Eternal Wisdom of the Universe, hold
ing court once a year, like some hui
man assizes, is altogether too anthro-
pomorphic, too much patterned after
the manner of man. If God is ever
present with us, He judges us, every
minute and every second. He judges
us the very moment He is with us,
which means all the time. The truly
religious person realizes that he is in
Gods everpresent watchful sight, un-
der His ever present guidance and
surveillance, and under His ever pres
ent Judgment.
But, as said yesterday evening,
this is day set apart for us Jews
for serious thought, one annual day
for very serious thinking for us Jews
who are supposed to do some think
ing, all the time. Let me link what
I shall say this morning to the point
thatI tried to bring out in yesterday
evenings sermon, namely, that our

and suggestions, and by its associa-

RESPONSIBILITY
Sermon for the Days of Pentence by Dr. S. N. Denard

true, for Moses taught us that long,
long ago; modern science teaches it
now, and we know it ourselves from
our own experience. You know the
dictum of Moses that the sins of the
fathers are visited on the children to
the third and fourth generation. And
you know Moses solicitude that we
do not associate and mingle with the
gross idolaters, the superstitious and
degenerate heather of those days, lest
we become like them.
And yet after all is said, we know
that heredity and environment do not
explain everything, or account for
everything. You cannot explain
Moses himself in that way. His
father, or grandfather, was no Moses,
his son or grandson was no Moses;
and there were many others in the
same sphere in which he was raised,
in the same Egyptian court; but they
were not Moseses. And the same
holds true of Shakespeare, a Spin
oza, Napoleon, Lincoln, Roose-
welt and Woodrow Wilson. And if
the names of great criminals or great
idiots were as familiar to us as those
of humanity's illustrious children, we
could say the same of them, too.
But aside from the fact that hered-
ity and environment cannot always
account for our peculiar individuai-
ties, our greatness or our ittleness,
our gQodnsgs or our wiakedness, there
is the more overwhelmingly signifi-
cant fact that once we hold other fac
tors and forces, other than the indi-
vidual himself, responsible for his
shortcomings, the whole ethical struc-
ture of human society falls to the
ground. There is no difference, then,
tween the thief and the honest man.
Our Decalog is then only one of the
mistakes of Moses, and our law-books
and statute books had better be used
up as fuel. Why punish thief or
a murderer if he is not responsible,
if it is all due to heredity and envir-
onment?
I need not say to you that these
harsh sounding remarks are not
meant to stife in us the noble feelings
of pity and charity and kindness
pity and charity and kindness even
for the sinner, the criminal, the en-
emy of society. On the contrary, let
us continue to c.ltivate and cherish
these truly divine sentiments. There
is nothing that so raises us to God
like plane as these feelings do. There
are many considerations why we
should act hlimanely, kindly. charita-
bly, toward the erring, wayward and
fallen brother. He is human, and as
in us, there is spark of the divine
in him which we should respect, and

ton of ideas makes us realize the
supremacy of the human mind, that
has within it's grasp lifetime and
eternity, God and His creations.
But realization of the sweep and
majesty and power of the human mind
must lead us to an equally strong
realization of mans responsibility.
Surely mans responsibility must be
power of his mind. Noblesse oblige.
The higher our nobility, the greater
our obligation. And this annual Day
of Divine Judgment, though it is not
to be taken literally, though it is not
to make us think of God as judge
of an annual assize, is yet to impress
us most profoundly with the thought
of our responsibility before the ever
present Judgment of God, of our own
conscience, and the most enlightened
opinion of the world. Human respon-
sibility! We are responsible for our
actions, we are guilty or not guilty,
we deserve punishment or acquittal,
as the case may be. But we are re-
spOnsible. We cannot escape our re-
sponsibility. We cannot blame our
shortcomings, our vices, our crimes
on somebody or something else. We
are responsible.
know what may be said and is
being said on the other side of the
question. We are told that we are
all dragging along with us the terfi-
BILE weight of heredity, that often pulls
us back and down, or that we are en-
dowed with the wings of heredity that
help us soar upward; and that we are
also the victims or the benefciaries
of the particular environment in
which we are born, live, move, and
have our being. The forces of hered-
ity and environment! We are told
that we inherit from our ancestors,
sometimes three or four generations
back, certain predispositions for good
or evil, just as we inherit their ply
sical characteristics, their comely or
ugly features; that certain taints in
the blood, certain weaknesses ac-
quired by them are transmitted to us.
A crime committed by us may be due
to- a criminal predisposition or GRIM
inal impulse we have inherited from
father or grandfather, mother or
grandmother, just as noble deed,
brilliant feat performed by us, may
bent of mind or prompting of heart
the same way. And we are
told that the influences of our environ
ment and our associations have a
great deal to do with our character
and conduct. In an environment of
saints we may become sanity, and in
an environment Of sinners we must
become sinful. Now all this must be

because of this divine spark he is
@apable Of redemption. He is human,
sf1d therefore weak and erring even
as you and are. / need not tell you
that God evidently takes all these
things into consideration, for he does
not proceed with us too harshly.s Else
we should not be enjoying as many
blessings as we do.
But am not now addressing my
self to you as the judge of others,
but to you as the one who stands be-
fore the Judgment seat and is to be
judged.
Let us for the moment, therefore,
dismiss all other thoughts from our
minds, and let us hold fast to the
thought of responsibility, individual
responsibility, the responsibility of
every one Of us before God, before
our conscience, and before the en-
today, the solemn day that marks the
beginning of another year, another
rounded fragment Of our life, let the
thought sink deeply and permanently
into our minds God judges us if we
do not measure up to our response
bility. God judges us, and judges us
rightly; our conscience judges us, our
fellowmen judge us, because we are
responsible for our actions. Our re-
sponsibility cannot be transferred, or
shifted, or shirked.
Many and varied are our response
bilities as we trudge along life's wind
ing path. They grow, they multiply
as we enter upon new stages of life,
enter new fields of activity or into
new relations with our fellowmen.
May I emphasize only three or four
outstanding ones. There is first Of
all The responsibility Of parenthood,
our responsibility for our children, the
children that God has given us, has
entrusted to our care, guardianship,
and guidance. Our responsibility is
not discharged by pampering them, by
gratifying their every desire and
whim. That is only due to our weak
ness, our ignorance, our desire to
move along the line of least resist
ance, or our own selfishness and love
of pleasure. We think our children
must have everything their eyes see :
and their hearts desire. Our respon-
sibility for our children requires that
we mould their lives through every
good influence that our modern world
affords home, religion, education,
and service. If your child goes wrong
do not blame your grandfather, or the
moving pictures, or the pool halls, OF
the gang at the corner drug store
You are responsible.
There is the responsibility of the
Jew for the welfare, the good name
of .Jewry and Judaism. Our history
of 5000 years has made us one peo-
ple--and what history, the record
written by God, unites, let no man
break asunder. Only so or rs years
ago we. all lived under the same or
similar conditions, created for us by
a hostile world-we were all, to use q

Students Quarters Are Likely to Be
 Transferred to Site of Old Wall of
 City.
 Pa1is, July S.-A long discussed project for the transfer of the stu dents quarter of Paris from tht old Latin Quarter to the outskirts of Paris on space made vacant by the demoli- tion of the wall of Paris appears to be on the way to realization
 The city of Paris will sell about 20 acres of land for the building of a students city, including lodgings, rec reation grounds and gymnasium The University of Paris will undertake the construction of the necessary build ings, toward which one philanthrop- ist has already contributed 100000 900 francs.
 It is not expected that this will greatly change the aspect or the char acteristics of the Latin Quarter, but it will provide accommodations for many foreign students who, unable to find lodgings, are practically excluded from the university. The secretary of +'~o S+ndnr+s' association attributes to lack of odgings the fact that the number ot students matriculated at the university fell from 11,0OO in 1920 to 5000 this year.

AMERICA LEADER IN
 GIVING WORLD NEWS
English D0mini0nS Jealous and
 Urge Britain to Speed Up

London, July S.-Sharp criticism of the sloWness of communications by steamship, airplane, telegraph and Wlrelessc between Great Britain and the dominions were voiced at Tues days session of the imperial confer- ence, at which it was decided to ap- point committee to consider the development of communications throughout the empire. The official text of the speeches delivered at the meeting was issued today, and in if there were expressons of disapproyaI or Americas world distribution of news.
 Premier Hughes of Australia made an unfavorable comparison between the British wireless service and tha German installations that were in operation before the war, as we'll ts those at present existing in the United states He said the United States was conducting wireless services to Eng- iand, France, Norway, Japan and Ger many and was arranging to cover other fields.
 He declared America was daiIy rad1ating in every direction not only American news but American con- cepts of world events, and instanced the transmission of such news to China. "hlcn, he said, formed it's opinion of or the British empire thereon while Great Britain did nothing. He con- tended that if Great Britain and the domlnlOns failed to increase their wireless telegraph and wireless teIe- phone services in the immediate fu- ture, they would be left far behind other coutries.
 Premier Meighen of Canada said that, while Canada had less cause to complain than Australia and New Zealand her exchange of news with was unsatisfactory. > News that comes to Canada ba asserted, filters through New York and is censored there not by govern ment authorities but from the Amer lcan standpoint. It reaches us in an undesirable condition and as a result mas an undesirable influence and a very serious influence it is.''
 Winston Spencer Churchill, secre- try or state for the colonies spoke sympathetically regarding these com plaints
 There is on doubt he said, that the American press is able to collect It's news on vast scale, and, having been paid the cost of this collection by international regulation it can af- ford to dump news into other English speaking countries"
 And advertise itself' interjected Premier Massey of New Zealand.
 MT. Churchill declared it was vital in the dissemination of news of the British empire that a strong British empire atmosphere be developed. 
 This will come when the mother country and the dominions are able to tell their story to each other in- stead of having it told by other men,
