DENOUNCES ABOLITION OF ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
, (By Our London Correspondent)'
¦ LON.pON.—Thc charge that Liberal Judaism is repeating tha "experience of early Cliristianity by advocating the abblition: of   the   Abrahamic .covenant.
' was made here by thc Chief Rabbi, Dr. J. H.,Hertz, in the first of a scries, of addresses   in   which   he   discussed   the J spiritual   conflict   between   the   Fuiida-i mentaltBts.ajid the Modernists in Anglo- Jewry today.    .
;"In, England," the Chief Rabbi de¬ clared, "a small group has long been struggling to transplant Liberal Judaism to theise'shores.    After many years of
/effort, they have erecled a stately house
, of worship. So loud is their rejoicing thereat, that earnest men and women are
' perplexed by the claims of .this move¬ ment. They are dazzled by its ephenieral 'successes'; and bewildered by the new shibboleths of its spokesmen". They turn, their eyes to the Rabbinate- for guidance. This guidance will,be given them: I shall examine the attitude of Liberal Judaism to institutions and be-
. liefs that are essential to Israel's, ex- istencfe, and show whither, it is inevi¬ tably leading.  .
'.'Take a primal commandment. lil^e the Abrahamic Covenant. ' The martyra, in the Maccabean age died for. it; also in the times of the Hadrianic persecu¬ tion, in the dread days of the Inquisi¬ tion, whenever or. w:herever tyrants un¬ dertook   to   uproot   the, Jewish : Faith.
. Even an ex-communicated, semi-apostate liike, Benedict Spinoza declares: 'Such ¦great importance do I attach to the sign of the. Covenant, that I am persuaded that it. is sufficient, by itself to maintain the separate existence' of the nation forever.*' But the protagonists :pf Lib¬ eral Judaism have .evei*ywhere worked for its total abolition. Abraham Geiger, the foimdcroi the whole movement, der nounced 'Meelah*.as far back as 1845.
, :NearIy all the spokesmen bf the New Jifdaism today are; in agreement with Geiger. They dispense with the Abra- hatnic rite iii the case of 'infants, 'for
, an: indefinite period of ,transitipn,' as the
, principal founder of the London group carefully phrased it in 1919. 'For an iridciinite period .ol transition l' This ;distiqctiori - between - proselytes   and   in-
¦ fants was at first also the rule in the Christian Church; but after'Meelah'was once set aside iri the .case of proselytes
.it was not long, 'retained* dyen for .in- : fants.. "With .open eyes, Liberal Judaism : is   repeating   the, experience   of-  early Christianity.
;"As for Sabbath-and ,Holy Convoca¬ tion, Fast and Festival,", the Chief Rabbi continued, ."these fare ill at the hands of these moderns; One prominent re¬ ligious guide advocated that Passover be struck off the Jewish Calendar, and ¦proposed' that instead/Christian and Jew should together celebrate Easter as Martyr's Day; another;argued that Tab-' ernacles was a dying festival, a y/ithered braiich that should be cut off froip the Tree of Judaism; while still another > bas arranged in.his synagogue that these two fundamentals be celebrated only on the. Sunday of the week in which they occur. ,*Many of these 'rabbis' der Clare that fasting on the Day of Atone¬ ment is a superstition; and they practice what they preach. "Institutions, symbols and observances . constitute merely the body of Judaism. The mind a;id soul of Judaism are the Sacred Scriptures, the Brotherhood of Israel, the Jewish Creed and Outlook, In this world mind exists only in the habitation of a body; and 'nude souls' are found only in the imagination of the mediaeval' Mystics. No religion, least of all Judaism, can continue without its historic, outward garb."

Tifereth Israel Sister¬ hood to Give Supper Next Sunday, Jan. 24
The Tifereth Israel Sisterhood will sponsor a supper and entertainment next Sunday evening, January 2'lth, at six o'clock at the Temple Building, 1354 E. Broad St.
This affair is W"^ff planned in honor of Rabbi Klein who will be glad to meet all his old friends and take part in a real "get-together."
The committee in charge of the en¬ tertainment promises a real treat in the way of a program.
WARSAW,;,a. .t; A.)-Jewishpub- lic^opihion m the Repubhc of Poland follows with'grcat interest the develop¬ ment of the,.Wise incident.:
The divisiqn :of opinion is similar to tliat manifested in the American Jewish community. Deputy Isaac Gruenbaum, leader of the Zionist opposition m Por land/ Dr. I^on ¦ Reich, president of the Club of Jewish Deputies, a Zionist, Deputy H. Farbstcin and Rabbi Samuel Brodt of the Mizrachi Organization in Poland, Noah Pfylucki, leader of the yolkists and RabbrLevine,of the Agu¬ dath Israel, a deputy in, the Polish par¬ liament, in statements issued to the cor¬ respondent -of the Jewish .Telegraphic Agency declared.:
Deputy Gruenhaurti: "I consider the protest of the Union of'Orthodox Rab¬ bis of.America unjustified. . Every Jew is entitled to express his own' opinion on Christianity and its teachings.; No¬ body has. the right to reproach his fek low man for his. views. Judaism is not only a religion; but .a. living organism. It is natural that many, men have dif¬ ferent opinions, about religious prob¬ lems. . Jewish,Orthodoxy, which strives to gain, a dominant position in Jew.ish life, undermines itsown basis:.the right .to freedom of conscience."
Dr. Leon Reich:, '!! know Dr. ,Wise to be, a-man of great responsibility and understariding for Judaism: I doubt whether he has ¦ expressed, himself in, a dishonorable manner about the Jewish people and its culture, If Dr. -Wise's statements are based on scientific re-; search, the protest is usqiesb.;. How can anybody. expe[ Dr. Wise from Jewish life and activities on behalf, bf the Jew¬ ish,, people and Palestine? We Jew^ have never defended fanaticism. We always believed in, freedom of thought. The action of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis was; top primitive and' radical." Deputy H. Farbstein.: "I fully sup¬ port the protests of the Union of ,Ortho-; dox Rabbis of America. If,we protested againsf Christian ethics, it was bnly be¬ cause the Christians have not observed them. However, to preach to Jews the acceptance of Christian ethics' is imper¬ missible, not only , by Rabbis, but by everybody who knows anything about the history of mankind. Sermons like that of Dr. Wise lead Jews to conver¬ sion."
.Rabbi Levine: "The incident of Dr. Stephen S. Wise'fe address is painful to me. When a rabbi, may he even be a reform rabbi, recommends Christian ethics- to Jews, every Jewish heart must be astonished and grieved. How can anybody recommend other ethics, to a people whose own ethics is as high as that of the Jewish people. I endorse the protests of the Union of Orthodox Rab¬ bis, of America and I am sure that American Jewry is behind them. Ameri¬ can Jewry is sufficiently developed to understand the heights of Jewish teach¬ ings.'',
Noah Prylucki. "Dr. Wise's speech ia iibt new. The Yahudint have for a long, time manifested a desire to adopt cer¬ tain external Christian forms as a result of their assimilationist tendencies. I see no reason.for renewed protests, espe¬ cially since we JeWs have alway re¬ spected the opiinion^ of others."   ' ¦
R^bbi Samuel Bi1>dt: "I do not un¬ derstand what Dr. ] Wise recommended to the Jews. Everything which is con¬ tained in Christian ethics is found in Jewish ethics. Dr. Wise's statement did not surprise me. Everybody knows that he always respectyd Christianity. An Anterican delegate to the Zionist .Con¬ gress told me that Dr. Wise has a statue of Jesus in his study.(?) I believe that Dr. Wise did not -make the statement with the best intenthin^ but due to ignor¬ ance. The protests ipf the Union of Or¬ thodox Habbis is therefore a storm in a teacup. Such spe^^hes are unsuitable for a spiritual leadejr of Jewry."
Most of ns itululge in snap judgmenls; we fail to see both sides of the question;
This is, especially true when we begin. to lament over the present, generation, speaking like so many tearful Jeremiahs oi the dear, dead days that have gone never to return!'
It is often a blessed thing that the dciid past .fcaii bury its dead.
Take .what, is perhaps the most, ¦familiar" picture drawn by the sentj- niciUalist: the old-fashioned family. He, will tell you that there was ijio race j suicide in tlie good old days with teii, j fifteen or twenty chilrlrcn sitting about j the family bba,rd, bowing their dear little reverent heads as father said the. bless- i ing, -.But, wait-a moment—how many ' of these- children lived to maturity?. Study, if you ¦ have the chance, the headstones in some New England ceme¬ tery, and see how many of these little 611CS were laid to rest, before their fifth ¦yearj these children, born of women weakened by too frequent .maternity, so ill protected frbui the scourges which atta.clc childhood. Glance through'the: statistic tables "issued by any reputable life insurance company and see how much .safer it is for a baby to be born in; our own day of fewer, and'bettei^ protected infants.    -
Often-, these ideal families were- the result of hot one but two or even three, marriages! ,
Those who sigh for the good old days, who wonder why modern women are riot so strong as thar grandrtiothers, should study both sides of this question/ top. True, there v/as the exceptional mother.who raised a family of fifteen to maturity, retaining her teeth, her eye¬ sight, her [digestion, and her sense of humor, until her eightieth , year. But how many of these ivirtuous patriarchs of other days buried a second and even third wife, these sturdy, pioneer women 'who did the work o.f three mothers rolled into,one—aild .wore out three times as .qqickly as^ our modern golf-playing . grandmothers. Thiese! worhen did their best arid we reverence^ them; but it is absurd to declare, as so many like to do, that any norm'al. woman can raise one. of the good, old-fashioned
fiimilios, do Iicr own housework and help with the work on the farm, with- uut paying for it' sooner or later: 'The liicturc Barton draws for us of Nancy Hau5is, the mother of Lincoln, finding time in spile of her lack of labor-sav¬ ing-devices to dandle the' little fellow nil her knee as she sang old billads to hiin, is an idyllic one. Eiut.what about tliuotlier side--lhc priyations of the trnnticr, those three babies horn under adverse conditions, thc frustrations, of body and soul wHich .made hcr succumb iii early womanhood, giad enough, per¬ haps, to lay down the burden. Jn pic¬ turing thc old-fashionecl family, do not forget the oid-fashioiicd mother.
The old-fashioned family, to continue oiir scrutiny ^through glasses undimmcd by;'the ha^^e of romance, was not a bit nioru loyal or better behaved .than the much'criticized family df today. There were family prayers in-all respectable homes in those days.- morning and even¬ ing. ,¦¦,¦." ¦.;" ¦ Daughtci' never dreamed of coming home from a buggy ride after midnight and there was no need-for. son to,carry his own hip flask when there was plenty of- hard cider in the barn. But—in those good old days was. there never a black sheep .who wandered -West never to re¬ turn, never an erring danghter whose name was erased from .the family Bible with sharhed tears? Else' why did Louisa M. Alcott, writing ip that prop- erest of citie^ Boston,, in. the year 1808, ''talk half the night with, H.; A. about the fast ¦ ways of young people nowa¬ days"? And did they blame it, on the war just, as 'we do now and predict tha:t Godless America- would follbw in the footsteps of pagan Rome?.'
There are two sides to every ques¬ tion and every .era;. today we have: oiir pictures pf ideal family life—and the reverse; ' And" in our condemnation of what.is rotten; in the Denmark of our own day, let :us remember that human nature'has not changed so, very much froni 'the days of .the 'Salem witch burners or the period when every young gentleman had to,, gamble, drink and swear immoderately to prove his man hood.
