PENSACOLA, FLORIDA
PensacOla's Reform Rabbi
Speaks On Orthodoxy

sumed an importance second to |
none. By performing it with
thoughtful piety, the discipline
minded Jew had thrown himself
as it were into the embrace of
God. From this embrace he could
not help but emerge surcharged
with enthusiasm. And enthusiasm,
of course, had it's own manifold
rewards.
In harmony with the T'filin
ceremony itself were the pray
ers that preceded and followed
it. Their authors and comrilers
seem to have had this in mind:
Morning is the spring-board of
the day. The day is synonymous
with the struggle for bread. I'm
less it is started off right, things
may go wrong for man. That
must not be. And it won't be
if we can but fix his minds
eye on the right thoughts.
And as we read these prayers it
becomes quite evident that the
right thought were plentifully
embodied in them. Here by way
of proof are some of them:
Blessed be Thou, o Lord, who
healest all flesh and doest Won
drously.
Blessed art Thou, o Lord, our
God, King of the Universe, who
hast not made me a slave.
Blessed art Thou, o Lord, ou1
God, King of the Universe, who
suppliest my every want.
Blessed art Thou, o Lord, oul
God, King of the Universe, whC
makest firm the steps of man.
Thou shalt not be afraid of thu
terrors by night, nor of the ar
row that flieth by day.
Weeping may tary for the night
but Joy cometh in the morning
Oh! God, guard my tongue from
Ievil
And my lips from speaking guile
May not my soul take note Of
them that curse me,
Yea, may it be unto all as the
humble dust.
land We that cleave unto the LORD
God,
Are alive, every one of you, this
very day.
The Lord is nigh to all that cal
upon Him,
To all that call upon Him in truth
NV help is from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD
| And He shall sustain thee.
In every one of these prayers
there is the Tilt Of music, the
sweetness of poetry, the wisdom
of philosophy, and the gladness Of
Heaven. Uttered at the break Of
day before any harmful thought
had yet intruded, they Infused
in the conscious as well as in
the subconscious mind ideas that
were likely to linger there al
day long. These ideas could not

shore. The morning, therefore,
must not be allowed to bangle
from single thread of inspiration
such as is supplied by the rising
sun. Others, many and weighty
ones, must be added. And Jew
ish discipline had seen to it that
these were not wanting.
By the light of the first rays
the discipline-minded Jew wrap
ped himself in a prayer-shawl,
extending it over his head like
a canopy. A moment later he
wound the phylacteries about his
person. Seven times the strap
was wound around the left arm,
terminating on the palm of the
hand in the form of the Hebrew
letter "shin." The phylactery
about the head was held in place
by arranging the straps like the
garland formerly worn, during
the nuptial ceremony, by the
bridegroom. Around the middle
finger the straps were shaped to
resemble ring. And as this ring
was being formed, the worshipper
recited the marriage formula
from Hosea:
And I will betroth thee unto me
forever. Yea, l will betroth thee
unto me in righteousness and in
justice; and in lovingkindness
and in compassion; and 1 will be-
troth thee unto me in faithfulness;
and thou shalt know the Lord.
To the unreflecting the whole ado
about the Tails and Tfilin might
have appeared as piece of mean.
ingless ceremonialism. Nothing
however, was further from thu
truth, as far as the ORTHODOX
Jew was concerned. If anything
the ceremony was too full Of
meaning. Everything connected
with it was highly symbolic. Alto
gether they represented mar
riage ceremony. 1t was the we'd
ding ceremony between God and
man. Man was the bride, God
the groom. The shin, which is
the first letter in 'Shadai," sug-
gested God. The windings about
the arm were the seven encir-
cling professionals which the
bridal party performs around the
groom. The prayer-shawl was the
canopy. The ring was present
and so was the garland. The
binding straps symbolized the
marital bonds of union. Ano
thus the troth was plighted, ev-
ery morning anew, with the beau
tifu1 words from Hosea: "And
will betroth thee unto me for
ever!"
Viewed thus, the ceremony as

Franco Sends Envoys
To See Don Juan
By the Associated Press.


MADRID, Sept. 1.-Two repre-
sentatives of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco were en- route to Swift
zerland today to confer with Prince
Don Juan, pretender to the throne
of Spain.
They were Jose Maria Oriol
Urquijo and Juan Manuel Ortigosa,
the latter subsecretary of justice
under Esterbank Bilbao, now presi-
dent of the Cortes (parliament)
They crossed the Catalonian border
into France yesterday.
The two men are said to have
conferred with Franco recently at
his summer home. It was not known
whether they were carrying pro-
postals from Franco, who on July
Is proclaimed he was only acting
as head of the Spanish government
pending return to a monarchy
which would perpetuate Falange
ideals.
Juan, who In a manifesto last
March 10 called on Franco to re-
sign and restore the Spanish mon
archy, has not commented publicly
on Frances apparent bid to Juan
to become King of Spain.

Revolutionary Change
In japanese Politics
Promised by Byrnes
By the Associated Press.

Secretary of State Byrnes last
night promised revolutionary po-
litical changes in Japan to allow
the eventual development, by the
japanese themselves, of a peacefully
inclined government.
He said that I'VE expect" to see
such government emerge even
tually, but he sternly added:
I'VE and our allies shall be the
judges as to whether the govern
ment which does emerge will or will
not contribute to the peace and
security of the world. We shall Judge
that government by its deeds, not
by its words"
Former Secretaries Comment.
Mr.. Byrnes made the assertion in
la statement on the formal surren-
der of the Japanese aboard the
battleship Missouri off Tokyo last
night. Along with this, the State
Department released vi day state
ments also by two former Secre-
taries of State and a former Un-
dersecretary.
Former Secretary Cordell Hull
said: THE very survival of the
human race now depends upon its
ability to build a system of Or
ganized relations among men and
among nations, in which our newly
found powers will be made to serve
the ends of human welfare"
Former Secretary Stettinius. chief
American delegate to the United
Nations: THE destructive force of
modern methods of warfare which
has been made so terribly evident
by the atomic bomb, makes it all
too clear that civilization cannot
survive another war. 3"
/ Grew Sees Cities Wiped Out.
Former Undersecretary Joseph C..
Grew: Another war is literally un-
thinkable, for in such war we
would have to visualize the wiping
out of great cities and immense
masses of civil populations in the
first few hours"
Secretary Byrnes said that the
Allies now are entering the second
phase of the war against Japan, to
bring about what might be called
the spiritual disarmament of the
people of that nation-to make them
want peace instead of war.
He projected measures to follow
upon the completion of physical
disarmament and destruction of the
power to make war again which ap-
Ipear similar to more detailed
methods already laid down for the
reconstruction of Germany.
| Oppression to be Removed.
| ITO bring about the spiritual dis
armament of the Japanese we in
tend to have removed all obstacles
such as oppressive laws and prac-
tices, which in the past have closed
the door to truth and have stif1ed
the free development of democracy
in Japan" he said.
"We shall have to eliminate the
lultra nationalist and totalitariar
teachings In the schools and among
1.-THE people, which in the past have
made the people accept the military
policy of the warlords.
I'VE shall take such steps as may
, be necessary to encourage demo-
cratic reforms among the submerged
classes, the peasants and industria.
