TO the large HuIlDtI u CWS wiz
certainly do not live the Orthodox
Jewish life. They do not observe
the Sabbath, are not too careful
about the dietary laws, and, in
the main, neglect the synagogue
during all but the High Holy
Days. Are they not rightly to be
classed among the Reform Jews?
On the other hand, Orthodoxy
points to the prevalent slim at
tendance at the Temple. Even
the Jews who visit the synagogue
only three times year and are
otherwise lax in their religious
duties studiously refuse to go
anywhere else than to the Ortho-
dox Synagogues. And if you ask
them what they consider them
selves, they would probably con-
TESS that they are, though unob-
servant, Orthodox. So Orthodoxy
claims that it is by far the pre-
dominant element in Jewry.
But then there is the third
party, the Conservative, who are
so often called "the middle of the
road" Jews. They argue that
theirs is the largest party in Jew
ry, if not today, then in the Juda-
ism Of the future. The Reform
wing, they claim, is not attracting
the Indifferent Orthodox to the
extent that one would expect of
free and easy cult making so few
demands on it's followers. Nor is
Orthodoxy holding its nominal
devotees if you except the thrice
a year revival" Therefore, since
the bulk of Jewry is neither
strictly Orthodox nor radically
Reform, it must of necessity, per-
haps even unconsciously, take the
course midway between the two
extremes, namely the Conserva-
tive. So each element considers
itself in the right, and surely the
argument of each seems plausible.
The same test may be applied
to other questions or party-align-
ments. Take for example Zion
ism. Zionism strives for the crea-
ton in Palestine of a Jewish Gull
tural-Political centre. Few Jews
can be opposed to having a haven
of refuge for prosecuted Jews,
even if it be Palestine. Fewer
still can be opposed to center
from which shall radiate Jewish
cultural influences. Therefore,
say the Zionists, the bulk of Jew
ry is Zionistic, and is overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the Zionist Pro-
gram.
But, say the anti-Zionists, only
a comparatively small number are
affiliated with the Zionist move
ment. A small fraction of Jewry
are enrolled as Shekel payers.
Does that not prove that the vast
majority are either anti-Zionist or
at least non-Zionist? Then there

real OF ldllSlCu oppression ~
which they had been subjected on
the part Of a great and powerful
nation. Their rebellion seemed
useless, and probably would have
proved fruitless, were it not tor
the vast amount of assistance, not
only in a monetary way, but IN
political and social way, which
they received on the part of their
people in this country and
through these on the part OF the
American government. 1t is no
secret to anyone that it was main
" because of the pressure which
was brought to bear upon the
British government by sympa-
thizers with the Irish cause in
this country that independence
was granted to Ireland by Great
Britain. Nor is it any secret that
the terms of the treaty, which
were offered to Ireland by Lloyd
George were accepted by Ireland
chiefly because of the insistance
on the part of the Irish in Amer
lea that these terms be accepted.
If, this result of the endeavors
on the part Of the Irish people in
this country to make Ireland
free, be compared with the en-
deavors that Our people in this
country have been making to OBJ
tain human treatment and human
rights for the Jewish people who
live in lands of oppression, it can
readily be seen what little inau-
ence we WELD and how little our
sentiments and sensibilities are
respected in the councils of the
nations. If the Jew in this coun-
try were at all exerting any in
Auence, pressure would have GER
tainly been brought to bear upon
Poland, upon the Ukraine and
upon other nations whose sole
ambition it seems to be to demon
strate to the world their fitness
for freedom and independence by
their ability and efficiency to con
duct policy Of pogrom and mas
sacre against the Jews.
Nor does American Jewry ex-
ercise sufficient influence upon
the minds of our own people in
other lands. The clash between
the American, view and that Of
their European co-workers which
was clearly demonstrated, recent
ly in the controversy over the
conduct of affairs in Palestine
shows conc1usively that the inf1u-
ence of American Jewry goes no
farther than it's ability to render
material aid carries. And yet,
OUR friends in the anti-Semitic
camp claim that the Jew is pow
erful enough to control the affairs
of the whole world!

prove that its grip on us is stronger
than death itself; to try to make
amends for its bad deeds is only to
guarantee impending bankruptcy; and
to scorn 1t is to be doomed by IT. Pru-
dence will lead rs to say that we posi-
lively do not find i'm human reason
what TO do with it. Sin is too unrea-
sonable 10 be successfully opposed by
human reason.
But God, whose wisdom is infinite,
does know what TO do with il. He can
cure it. Without condoning the small
est fraction of its awfulness, God has
proceeded TO make atonement for sin.
Through centuries of sacriflcial types
He revealed the only possible way to
deal with it; and then fulfilled them
all in Christ our Passover sacrificed
for us. There is sacrifice, there is
blood, and there is blood on the altar,

is to project an opinion where reason
cannot claim sufficient resource But
when reason cannot find the way out
of our condemnation, and the outlook is
ever perilous, then how invaluable is
that revelation in Gods Word! How
secure we are with the Bible!
The folly of giving sentiment or
argument free rein when considering
the atonement appears when we real
lie that we have nothing to bring for
ward as an illustration of atonement
apart from the Bible account of it. We
can think Of God in the terms of IA

Atonement Unparalleled.

We may illustrate the significance
of God as ruler, for we are continually
reminded of the import Of authority
over us. But now, what shall we say
of God as Creator? We search in vain
for an illustration with which to apply
its meaning. Or, what shall we say
Of God as Atoner? Again, we are ut
terly incapable of finding an illustra-
ton outside His revealed Word with
which TO make plain its meaning. That
He knew how to atone and that His
love was at root of His doing 1t, Is
the marvellous and repeated lesson of
the Bible. But the "why" of such a
wonder, and the depths of the signifi-
canoe of such a work, no illustration
will serve TO explain. He alone knew
how. He alone planned it. He alone
worked 1t out. He alone did Ii Qike
the Holy One He is) perfectly. Here
we never could be advisers. Why
then should we presume to be critics?
When we view God covering human
sin out of sight and providing for the
pardon of the traIsgressor, we view a
program so absolutely remote from all
human parallel that 1t is idle and rash
to speculate about its terms and con-
ditions. The only acceptable ground
on which to stand Cor kneeD is clear
over on the side opposite to cavil and
doubt, where we say: God forbid
that / should glory save in the Cross
Of our Lord Jesus Christ" Let this
wonder~work of love stand apart like
creation, unapproached by human eff

source.
Then II is that we see that God
maintains His answering holiness
and at the same time provides that
each, all and every sin chargeable
against a soul shall be pardoned the
moment that soul believes on the Lord
Jesus Christ. The depth of the agony
the satisfaction of Gods holiness in
Jesus Christ bearing our sins, the fact
| that Gle was made curse for u.s.

and wide. How gracious the offer to
