to restricted and limited group. Our
sphere is larger, more democratic and
embraces the entire House of Jacob.
We recognize the fellowship Of all Is
rael and unto all Israel we call TO re-
spond to the new visions Of rehabilita-
ton and democracy which this era
promises to fulfill. Life is a constant
process of adjustment and adaptation
II is the law Of life which applies to
the individual as It does to organiza-
tons. Unless we adjust ourselves to
conditions we do not survive Individ-
uals as well as organizations are sub
jected to this universal biological law
Of growth and decay.
More than ever the Independent
Order B'nai Birth is under the COM
pulsion Of adjusting the program Of
its organization 10 the notifications
Of ideas and ideals, the standards and
values that prevail in the world to-
day. We must swing into the stride
or lag behind in the progress Of the
race.
The next few years will witness so
many departures from the former pol
icies Of business and industry that
our entire economic existence will be
modified. As a forecast of the indus
trial changes which Is bound to effect
our organization for better or worse
note the report Of the provisional
joint committee Of the British Indus
trial Conference, unanimously adopt
ed April 4th, 1919. England has prac-
tically established a maximum hour
Of labor, minimum wage, method
Of dealing with war advantages. It
recognizes and calls for negotiations
between organizations Of employers
and work people and creates bureau
OF unemployment.
How viii these industrial changes
effect the Independent Order! In one
aspect the Order has n new and hith-
erto unsupported opportunity II not
a problem-namely the use Of this
increasing leisure when a or IS hours

day. People have ever sought happi-
ness. They have ever sought for shor-
ter hours and higher wages for one

with wisdom. In the future the Bnai
Birth needs to function with the
whole Of Israel in mind and from the
community Of Israel obtain the talent
for dramatic societies singing and
musical organizations, and leagues of
older men, Big Brothers; Big Sisters
associations; perhaps Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts; religious schools in case
there is no means to reach those un-
attached to syynagogues or temple.
The B'nai Birth could even provide
religious services for those who are
unable to attend temples or synagog-
ues. Services were conducted in B'nai
Birth Clubs during war time and the
suggestion Of this paper is a strong
urge to transfer these methods Of the
war camp B'nai Birth Clubs to the
communities Of Israel
Not less but more work is awaiting
the B'nai Birth.
Verify We have come to the parting
Of the ways; 1t is either along the old
road that leads to dusty death, or an
acceptance Of the challenge Of our era
for community service to the House
Of Jacob. The old way was a perfume
tory routine or dignified collection and
distribution Of funds for dependents
and carried with II sacred duty. But
it realeased no stimulation or incen-
tive beyond the fulfillment Of duty.
1t repealed the youth Of Israel who
discovered other agencies performing
like task. II estranged the youth Of
Israel and threatened to destroy our
Order.
With a world recovering from a
staggering blow, with men and wom-
en- hungering for opportunity to live
socially and obtain some Of the amen
tiles Of life that are engendered from
community organizations and agen-
cies the B'nai Birth need not grope
for program nor lapse into disuse.
Throughout the land community sing
ing has regained a prestige that
promises TO enhance every community
that cultivates il. What might a Choir
al society Of those descendants Of
the sweet singers OF Israel with their
ancestral traditional melodies and
their voluminous collections Of songs
and psalters not attain! The possibil-
tiles are endless. Either the B'nai
Birth resolves TO arise like our Faith
err Abraham and move out Of the snug
complacency Of our previous achieve
ments and girdle our loins with the
cords Of social service and communi-
ty organization Of Israel or we 20 the
way Of all flesh.
A new day is dawning: The dawn Of
democracy our ancestors saw fore
visioned in the dreams Of their inspir-
ed poets and prophets. Let US arise
and greet Il with strong and eourag-
eous hearts.
