in historical events from which
have sprung the religious rites
of today to be tolerant, to say
the least, of those. things which
are holy to others. With a little
mental effort even the layman
may be able to trace religious
ceremonies to their significant
origin.
The eternal light burning on
the altar Of the Catholic church
is a reminder that even before
the invention of matches and
other fire producing devices, the
priests performed a holy mission
in keeping those fire brands
BURNING that they might re-
kindle the home fires whenever
they failed.
The church steeple that greets
the sight of the wanderer many
miles away always has ever
pointed upward, guiding our at
tention to the wonders of the
heavens. 1t has even stimulated
us to make the daring attempt to
outdistance the birds in our
fl j g ht to the unconquered
heights.
AS religion cannot be explain
ed and as the desire for religious
edification is universal, how
then can it be brought home to
the child mind of all human
beings without the use Of cere-
monials? Without the aid of
the dramatization of an ideal
that can only be allegorically cir
cumscri5ed by the so-called
mummery as it existed even in
the middle ages, religious OBJ
servance would lose much of it's
Significance to many people. The
little Punch and Judy shows in
front of the churches in CEN
turies past really continued, and
sometimes gave more successful
ly, the moral lessons that were
preached within the houses of
God. 81 (,
Sneers at the ceremonies of
another mans religion can only
lower the Significance of those
of your own belief. There is lit
tie surplus energy expended for
the higher things Of life, as
things now are, and this little
should be fostered and encourag-
ed whether the idea or tradition
has grown upon our own domain
or is flourishing in that of our
neighbor.
Let us learn to mutually re-
spect at least the aspirations and
hopes and faith of those of other
beliefs even tho we may be
tempted with a superior" in
tellect to look down with pity
upon their feeble attempts.

~ONAN w AOAAAsA
= Z years ago in small
towns throughout Poland. He
derived the name, Pinchus Bat
mix, from the fact that he would
sell 'sbatim," or necessary parts
of ''tvilen." Living in . small
town his business required that
he travel throughout the larger
be met by all the Chassidim.
They were assured that when
Pinchus Batnik was at home,
they would have a happy cele-
bration. The most pleasant
evening for celebrating his
home coming was Saturday
night, for then they would
be invited to his home, and Roch-
lie, his wife would prepare for
this event to a big extent. (Mlave
Malke). The happiness and con-
tentment of his devoted wife,
Rochile, is beyond expression.
When he was gone, she was full
of fear for him, not because of
jealousy, Pinchus surely was not
modern travelling salesman,
but because she worried about
his welfare, his food and lodg-
ing.
Never shall I forget the oc-
casion when my father took me
to the ''Mlave Malke." I was
under the impression that it was
to be a sort of banquet, with
much to eat and drink, and l re-
member that all day 1 tasted to
prepare myself for this big meal.
Much to my dismay and disap-
pointment, / found a small gath
ering of Chassidim, seated
around the table, an extra can
die to the lamp on the table,
(nair Hamosiv) and very little
food. A small portion of gefilte
fish, left over from Friday
nights meal on the table, few
slices of bread, just enough to
enable them to say the prayer
of "Hamaitze," and small bot
tie of brandy. I could not COM
prehend how the Chassidim
could enjoy so heartily the
scanty meal that was just
enough for one person. But it
was not the food they so much
enjoyed. They ate and drank
the words of Pinchus, who told
them Torah, and also tales of
his travels. They were interest
ing stories, stories Of the hard
ships that their fellow Jews in
other big towns endured and how
difficult it was for them to OBJ
serve the Jewish religion. And
in the face of Pinchus Batnik
was reflected the sorrows of all
the Jewish people. But at the
same time he felt joy that the
Jewish people could love their
God to such an extent, that they
would sacrifice all to follow their
religion.

THE desire of the Commun-
b. OsCTOR NEUHAUS

osn3onoaoceceo6oac6c OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
"HE desire of the Commun-
lists of Russia to do away
Il with religion is futile and
is doomed to failure. Even the
atheist must admit that relig-
ion is not man-made. 1t had it's
beginning with the first dawn Of
a higher intellect and it can only
die when man again sinks to the
level of the animal.
Our ability to be religious
distinguishes us from the animal
world. A dog may be intelligent
but he cannot be religious.
All savage races, even the can
nibal tribes, have a religion and
no people has ever been discov-
cred without it, no matter how
complete their isolation.
Religion is the belief in an
ideal. 1t is possible for man
to be religious without being a
member of any existing sect or
cult today. This universal hui
man desire everywhere for a re-
ligion of some sort was brought
about without outside influence
which conclusively proves it
must be more than a mere senti-
ment, and that it is really a
fundamental, impelling, irresist-
ible force-a force that is unex-
planned and from which there is
no escape.
The communists cannot des-
troy religion. They cannot do
the impossible. They may defile
its outer garments. They can
forbid the performance of its
ceremonials. They can interfere
with the worship of ideals but
they cannot stop the desire for
its expression which goes on
even unconsciously.
More people have died for the
sake of their religious convic-
ti0ns than have been killed on all
the battlefields of nations.
The contentious which have
been going on between the vari-
GUS religious denominations have
always been a contest over the
outer forms, over the ceremonies
and rites. The fundamental aim
of all was the same-a better
understanding of the God-head
without the desire to solve it's
mystery.
The bible says we cannot see
God. Philosophers say we can
not define or understand relig-
ion and those who attempt to ex-
plain their own personal convic-
tions are like Don Quixote, con-
stantly fighting windmilIs. They
are ever at it, creating mutual
distrust, hatred and suspicion.
Their attacks are like those of
the Bolshevists and are directed
principally at the ceremonies of
other beliefs for which they have
as little understanding as of
those of their own sects.
This is an age of publicity.
The theologians should become
the press agents of their relig-
ion, informing not only their
own people but the world at large
of the significance and of the
meaning of their different cere-
monies, some of which are steep
ed in oriental, allegorical mystic
ism which, nevertheless, will
prove gold nuggets of moral es-
sence when explained in modern
language.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS

Thursday evening the Commercial
Club held their first meeting of the
year in the Commercial club rooms.
Mayor Peck, Hugh MacCosham, c. S.
Beebe and Byrd Trego spoke on ac-
curate and erroneous advertising.
The point was stressed that local
merchants do not misrepresent their
goods when advertising, and custo-
mer purchases the same quality OF
merchandise as described in the ad-
vertisement, which however is not al
ways true of merchandise advertised
by out-of-town concerns, who, in or
der to secure large sales over-adver-
tise their goods, and when the pur-
chaser receives the goods he discov-
ers that it is of inferior grade and
workmanship.
Another point which was empha-
sized by the speakers was that money
paid to local merchants remained in
town to circulate and benefit the
community, whereas money sent to
outside firms was totally lost to the
community.
Miss Grace Peck, secretary of the
club, reported that most Of the quer-
les coming from eastern farmers were
in regard to possibilities for poultry
raising and dairying in this county.
Miss Peck also, reported on the
growth of the cheese factory.
]. M. Hartong gave brief talk
about the pavement, which has just
been completed south Of Blackfoot.
Plans are IN the making for a
"Trade at Home" campaign, which
will be discussed more fully at the
next meeting, to be held December 2.
