BIBLE SAYINGS

Hate the evil, and love the good,
and establish justice in the gate.
I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I will take no delight in your
solemn assemblies.
Let justice well up as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty
stream.

many problems which Jews face
today are sympathetically but
effectively analysed.
The book is frank in telling the
backward as well as the forward
movements in Judaism. The rela-
tionship between Judaism and its
daughter religions, Christianity
and Mohammedanism, is discuss
ed with understanding, including
an important section on Jesus,
Paul, and the rise of Christianity.
Christians as well as Jews can
read this book with profit and
learn from it much of the basis of
our Judeo- Christian civilization of
today together with valuable in
dications toward solving many of
the problems of the contemporary
world.

SINGULAR

Therefore was man created
single, to teach you that who
soever destroys a single soul the
Writ regards him as though he
has destroyed a complete world;
and whosoever sustains a single
soul, the Writ considers him to
have sustained a complete world.
He was also created single to
keep peace among the human
creatures: that no man might say
to his fellow, My Father was
greater than your father.

marked a complete revolution in

the later novels, including
