And It Shall Come
To Pass
BY NORRIS KRAMER

"And it shall come to pass in
the end of days, that the noun
tain of the Lords house shall be
established as the top Of the noun
tains, and shall be exalted above
the hills; and all nations shall
flow unto it." Isaiah.
When this era comes, the unity
and eqality of the human race
will be truly established. There
will be no more wars. Strife be-
tween men will be eliminated.
Peace and happiness will reign
supreme.
Just when this epoch will ar
rive, no one, perhaps, is in position
to say. The underlying motive for
war between nations lies in appar-
ent discomfort and unhappiness.
The people of these nations, who
could get along with one another
if they were not stirred up by pro-
pagandists and persons seeking
power and wealth, will eventual
ly see the light, will realize that
inequalities in life cannot be sett-
led by recourse to arms, but only
by intelligence and sound, COM
mon sense.
AS soon as man turns to the
moral philosophy of religion which
teaches truth, justice and right
eousness as the only basis for
genuine peace and contentment in
the world, then problems which
now create dissension between
man and his fellow-man will be
solved equitably and justly.
Must war continue to teach man
a needed lesson? It was hoped
that the last war was the final ep-
isode for the solution of the prob
lem of mans injustice to man,
and tn a t human beings would
learn their lesson and profit by it.
But the present conflict which is
more terrible than the last world
war has brought to the fore the
same controversial issues, and
man is again killing his neighbor
and civilization is gradually being
destroyed.

This Weeks Sedrah
BY RABBI DAVID p. A1PrRr

ny RkADDA DAVID +. ALPERT
what doth the Lord thy God
require of thee? Fear the Lord
thy God, walk in all His wavs.
love God, and serve Him with all
thy heart and soul. :" (Deuter-
OnOmy I'll; P'Ekab).
Is truth ever disagreeable ? Whv
then do we hear so many people,
in various circles, say 1--WE face
the fact that we have to tell the
disagreeable truth" or I'VE must
speak the bitter truth without
concealment" Frequent state
ments of this sort are heard, and
they represent our lack of insight
into the truth.
The Bible presented truth diff
ferently, and to regain sanity and
cOmpOsure, we might heed the BIZ
BILE teachings. We used to think of
the truth as ultimately victorious,
as that which sets men free, as
that which can never be crushed
or defeated but always rises again.
That attitude was closer to the
Bible than our present notion of
truth as fOrebOdi9g and threaten
ing and unsavOry.
Even when the Bible, in this
section, (and especially in the pro-
phets) presented the possibility of
dire suffering among people, it
did not end there. Truth is the
covenant and the mercy of God;
truth is found in the command
ments that we are to observe
Truth is not the immediacy of
suffering, but the reason for that
pain and the possibility of some
thing better. Truth is to cross the
artificial boundaries of our clas-
sifications, and definitions.
If we break the ten command
mentS, then we must suffer the
consequences. If we violate the
law and prOfane the sanctities,
we cannot escape the feeling of
inner guilt. Any abOminatiOn that
we take into our homes will de-
strOy something of the spirit. Bit
ter circumstance comes to bring
truth to us by testing what we
have in our hearts.
Do you fear that you cannot
conquer the oppressive tyrant?
The Bible offers it's truth to con-
quer the tyrant and subdue all his
threats. The violation of truth is
sickness; and the love of truth is
health and healing. The facts of
life may tell of pain and suffer-
ing; and truth tells how they shall
be overcome.
Can a mother forget her child ?
Isaiah (49) asks and answers that
just as slight is the likelihood that
God will forget those who turn to
him. That is the reminder of truth
which heals and encourages. Other
salient lessons of truth, from this
section, should be quoted. Man
does not live by bread alone. Man
needs the ideal of truth to serve.
Self-impOrtance is to forget God.
Truth is complete and rounds
out life. While there are realms
of truth that we have not probed
because they are impersonal, truth
must be a personal possession of
the moral law in your heart.
That truth guides us to the con-
quest of adversely. That is the
truth which OvercOmeS facts of
bitterness. Truth is cOnsOling and
uplifting, and never threatening.
Truth is never bull-dOzing blu t
sOft-spOken. Truth is never par
tial, but complete and sees ahead.
