living. And what. Segal. are you
doing about these? the rabbis may
ask. But. sir. am happy in the
Jewish religion as / conceive ii
and intend TO stand by ii to the
end Of my days.
So, dear Father Donovan, just
can't see being married to another
religion so late in my life; espe-
cially to give up the religion by
which l have tried to do as well
as it has done by me.
thank you. though. for invit-
ing me. I am not meaning to scorn
any other religion. l know the
Catholic religion as one which.
like my own. directs its people in
the right way TO go. can not go
along with all its theology but. TO
my mind. its main essential is the
decent way Of life on which il
directs its people, and that also is
of my way as Jew and of all
Jews.
And thanks for your advising
your people to scorn the tongues
of bigots and to love Jews as
neighbors. This is excellent coun-
sci even if we never do come to
the wedding.
Your pamphlet gives the names
of some Jews who took up Catho-
licism and became priests. ] have
no quarrel with these for going to
the wedding. If in all sincerity
they took up religion other than
the one to which they were born.
that is within the right Of free
opinion: though could. in all
friendliness. point out to them
that in Judaism they could have
found. if they had sought. COM
plete spiritual and intellectual
satisfaction.

to be faithful to the duties that

said that what is required Of me is
to love mercy. TO do justice and TO
walk humblY with God. And the
prophet who asked me. Have we
not one Father. hath not one God
created us all. And. then. too.
Leviticus which told me TO love
my neighbor as mYself.)
In these is all of my religion,
except for this, in addition:
Whatsoever ye would that others
do unto you, do We also unto them.
For that is the Law and the
Prophets" This is of your religion,
in the New Testament, and it is of
mine, too.
Some of our rabbis may say
that this isn't religion enough for
me. a Jew: there are Mosaic laws
that have to do with what a man
eats and with other ordinations
