 4 Palace of Peace
 Tt is indeed high honor and coveted privilege that was given me with your invitation 10 address this gathering this morning. Gs only I shall be able to bring some message worthy Of this holy place, message that will aid you in bringing more light 10 world that is sore'y In need Of light then I shall call my self blessed.
 "There is something Of the para doxical in my coming before you with the subject that I have chosen "A Palace of Peace 7ar11oXical because I am a Jew, and In theory the Jew is alleged 10 he an advocat" of ruthless revenge. An eye for an eye'-a legal formua-has been ac- eepted as the literal meaning of the philosophy Of my people. Parado%- cal, therefore, since this house Is dedicated to the Prince Of Peace. and this pulpit consecratel to the teachings of peace. But we Jews are altogether paradox. Despite all allegations, the Jews are the most non-rcsistant people on earth' Otherwise 1t would be incompre- hensible, how people admittedly endowed with rare intelligence could defer the solution of Its heart rending problem for over two thou sand years. It Is tho secret Of the Jews miraculous survival. The Je" l. F lived and continues to live by the reslstless force Of his non- resistance. For indeed there is no grtater power than resistance.
 There is only single sort or rop-resistance that the Jew does not countenance, and that Is non- resistance 10 evil. Tn truth 1t may he luyracious to say so here-especial- lv for me as Visltor-in truth, the Christian world today is not only no, turning the other cheek, but Is smiting so-called enemies in all sorts Of places on both cheeks
 War Eartl's Greatest Evil
 "And so take the privilege of discours!ng this morning on just this very question, the question of resistance 10 evil, the greatest evil on this earth today--war. l want 10 tell you what I as q. Jew. as an American, as a man, believe about the question Of he abolition Of war. I realize full well that there is little that is new or novel that ] can add 10 the subject. Isaiah and Jesus and thousands of less prophets have argued the matter before me. Yet the subject Is not settled. and tho coming Of Arnisice Day with the recurring memories of the war and all that followed in is wake de- mand that He deal once again with that probolm.
 "Plesse bear with me, therefore |, what l say is not lev, Remember that all that I shall say Is tIe oX- pression Of a faith that has been in the making for over three thousand years. It Is a faith that fed my fathers and forcfathcrs and it is inc faith that sustained mo al all times, 1t is for that reason that I ask ot you sympathetic bearing, anI, az the after dinner speaker ras it. earnest consideration.
