ideals of Judaism. He knows that
this Jew he had dealings with was
crooked-therefore he believes that
all Judaism is wrong. From those
experiences start hatred and preju
dice against q people as whole.
Christians must judge Jews individ
ually and not as a race. We Jews
came from prosecuted lands into a
country of which We knew little,
scarcely its language and surely none
of its customs. We had to exist, for
that is the first law of nature. BY
hook or crook we made out a living
If you give us time to develop, l be-
lieve that in time the Jews of this
country will contribute their portion
of advancement to the country, not
only in business fields. but in poetry
painting, music and the other arts.
No Religious Merger Possible
and we Jews must learn to ad-
Just ourselves. An enthusiastic
friend of mine has made the sug-
gestion that Christianity and Juda-
ism converge and be one great re-
ligion. Ought we to merge as cigar
stores merge. Economics are i'm
personal and can therefore be COM
hined, religion is individual and
could never be levelled to one plane
for all people. The interest OF life
is the difference in things one en-
counters throughout life: without
that difference life would be hum
drum existence which would really
result in a suicide epidemic which
would be an epidemic.
Religions are the lights which
keep US from colliding with each
other. Each religion has set up its
own light and each pilot steers to
his own course by his own light.
Each religion has its appeal but its
purposes move towards the same
goal, the basic rules of God and the
observance of the laws of God,

rendering our individuality. We can
sing our individual hymns in our
individual ways and in such a man.

one man.
"All the teaching Of Jesus reveal
the cardinal virtues and command
ments of Judaism. All the funda-
mental concepts of the two religions
agree. The Jews believe that the
Old Testament, as the Christians call
it, is a complete work, while the
Christians believe it is a stepping
stone to the New Testament or the
life of Jesus.
No Fight With Any Religion
Judaism has always tried to ad-
just itself to the prevailing thought
in which it lived. In the time of
Aristotle, Judaism accepted his
teachings in an effort to find the
truths in that theory instead of
throwing out the new religion with
out a glance. Judaism has no fight
with Christianity nor any other re-
ligion. Tolerance has always been
the keynote Of our religion, as COM
pared with the bigotry of other
Creeds and races. The old Talmud
states that the people of every rei-
Sion have their share of Immortality
and that their attitude towards God
is the only Judgment by which they
are classified.
The trouble with Judaism is that
it is better than most Jews. The
Jews have not lived up to their re-
ligion. Christians may have griev-
ances against the Jews and still be
right but any grievance against
| Judaism is a grievous mistake.
GcneralitieS Dangerous
Life as whole is series of eX-
| periences. 1t is unjust to make gen.
ordinations on these experiences. A
! friend of mine recently asked me my
opinion on the suicide epidemic
among the young people of the coun-
| try. Epidemic? The word epidemic
really means Il disease which sweeps
whole areas. In schools and colleges
of the United States there are ap-
proximately 100000 young men and
women. There have been 10 suicides.
Is that an epidemic? Yet people will
generalize on the experience of few
to make rule for the whole.
"One Christian has a nasty bust
ness experience with a Jew. There
fore all Jews are crooked. We
! must remember that this Christian
does not know the history nor the
