The Jews must accept the teachings Of Jesus, declared Rabbi Stcphci Wise of the Free Synagogue, in an address to a capacity congregation in ' negie Hall yesterday    Jesus of Nazareth is not a myth, as He has been pictured in Hebr.iic teaching, but was a man, Dr Wise said
The very foundations of morality, he asserted, arc contained in the unpar allcled code of ethics which comprises the teachings of Jesus
' Because Christendom has renounced Jesus in fact,' said Dr Wise, 'shall we continue to deny Him now that we. His brother Jews, are free to face Hi life and IcachinK anew' Shall we not say that this Jew is soul of our soul and that the soul of His teaching is Jewish and nothing but Jewish' The teaching ot Jesus the Jew is a phase of the spirit which led the Jew Godward'
"Now, he stated, is the time to throw overboard the doctrine that tlie teach nigs of lesus arc alien to those taught by the elders
'   lesus was,' he said    'I accept this despite the notion I had been led t(
belieie earlier in my lite—a notion that Jesus was a myth and never existed
tell you, and I will repeat these words to every Jew m the world if need be, Ji
'as, and we must accept this fact at once'
'He stated that strange stones—which have done as much harm as goi have been woven about Jesus as they have been woven about other transcendental figures of time
Referring to a new book, Jesus of Nazareth,' written by Dr Joseph Klaus of the Hebrew LTnivcrsity In Palestine, Dr  Wise said he thanked God such a book could be written, published  ind read
rks the first chapter 111 a new literature,' he declared     'Such d book
could ne\er have been vnritten a few jears ago    You all know what would have
happened  lo the Jew who would have dared lo express  his opinion—

Be Yourself!

T. I. SISTERHOOD
TO HOLD MEETING
't'he Tifereth Israel Sisterhood will hold a regular meeting on Monday eve¬ ning, January 4, at 8 o'clock at the Tem¬ ple building All members are urged to be present
A man owes himself—and societv—no greater duty than to he himself
rse of the Puritan, the inhibi- still upon us We have twisted and tortured into a curse the command¬ ment that a man must lay down his life really to live it, we have read false meaning into the warning that it shall profit a man nothing to gam the lyhole world, if by doing 10 he should lose his soul Wc have drawn from these words an ideal man—an aScetic saint rather, whose commandments all begin with "Thou shalt notl" who labors so strenuously to give his soul to his God that in the end he has no soul to give
A healthier, a stronger doctrine is not . LOSE yourself but to BE yourself
I speak with all temperance and so¬ briety Bi being yourself, I do not mean to ape the rather cheap and tawdry of sbme ol our decadents, who 'have thrown aside both the moral law and their duties to their fellow man They hold, so their own writings put that a man must be himself, must disregard the conventions of the society III which he lives, must know freedom through the practice of license A creed many of the hangers on ot Greenwich Village follow by excessive freedom in their verses—often liiipP'ly unpublished —and a corresponding wildness in their
But you may be yonrself without this somewhat sophomoric breaking down of all established standards You need only to view with calm, unprejudiced eyes the world that lies before you, you need only to exercise your own judgment be fore you decide what is good and what IS evil Because a thing is old, it does not stand proven that that thing is holy because it la new and fresh, you need not deduce that it will lead you into freer and better life Think calmly and quietly before you make your choice
And, having made your choice, fight for It to your last drop of blood may not be the choice of your neighbi whose respect means a great deal to you, or the man in the next pew
church, or vour lodge brother, or Ihi parents whose judgment you have al resjjeeted But, I ask yju did the decisions ot Luther or Joan ot Arc or the founder of thqt creed of rebel lion. Chrislianiti, find favor with the ltders ahd the priests or their own pa¬ rents' Be sure in jour own soul that right—and trust the rest to God 3iilj III the great trials ot our manhood that test us with fire must wc be ourselves The trained ath letc bitilds up his body bv gradual feats ot strength so we must learn to selves even m httle things Recently 1 visited the home of a wealthy 'friend whose paintings 1 had long now I found the walls of hiS magnificent living room quite barf He explained, rather shamefacedly, thit pictures were
longer fashionable and he had signed his treasures lo the storage house 1 He did not dare to be himself and surround himself with what he still considered beautiful and soul satisfying whether fashionable or not
Women hre perhaps the greatest of fenders in this failure to express them selves in their daily lives jud surround ings 1 hey have been harem slaves so long that even now although they share man's freedom in the outer world, in their homes they cow and cringe to every passion whim of the tjrant thej call Fashion Only an acknowledged social leader dare decide that'she will wear last year's suit If she feels it is still neat and becoming, only a diring radical will dress and educate her chil drcn according to her standards of fit ness instead of aping her neighbors "1 can't let him grow up queer," wailed one of these mothers lo me, when her little son insisted he preferred to watch father tinker with his car on Saturday afternoons instead of attending dancing school So the free citizens of the future are carefully molded into pate putty replicas of their conformini.' parents
Individuality is a priceless gift If God has given you this talent, cultivate It by learning to be yourself.
