can state it is an unqualified fact that the Jewish minister has a
man's jolt and one that requires the expenditure of every ounce of
energy, mental and physical, with which he is endowed.
• It is not for naught that so many of our best men in the Jewish
pulpit have broken 'down in the very years when physically the
average man is at his best, or indeed that so many of our rabbis
have been cut down in the prime of their manhood like Moses J.
Gries and J. Leonard Levy and others. The truth is that the work
of the rabbi is today so complex and so exacting that one must be
well nigh gigantic in strength to be able to do it efficiently. We
know at the present moment of several of the ministers of leading
congregations who have been compelled to take long leaves of
absence front their congregations because of the physical strain to
which they have been put. This is not as it should be and our con-
gregations will in the near future have to give careful thought to
the matter of conserving the physical energies of their spiritual
leaders.
Bow can this be done? Several plans have recently been sug-
gested but the most feasible, it seems to us, is the division of con-
gregational work into well defined and carefully differentiated
departments; each under the supervision of a departmental head and
all perhaps under the general superintendence of a senior rabbi. It
is too much to ask that any one man, no matter how graciously
endowed intellectually and spiritually, should be at once preacher
and pastor to a large congregation and that at the same time, he
should 'be teacher of the children. supervisor of the educational
work among the adults, organizer of congregational activities of a
social and philanthropic character, representative of his people upon
all sorts of civic and community boards, and that moreover, he
should be an exact student of the world's affairs and an authority
upon modern and ancient literature and philosophy.
And yet it is no exaggeration to say that the modern rabbi is
expected to be all of this and even more. Upon problems that
should logically go to the physician and the attorney', he is con-
stantly consulted. Matters of the most intimate and deliCate
character that arise in the family life are brought to him for adjust-
tnent. He is expected to be the consoler of the suffering and the
gentle but none the less efficient guide of the erring and the way-
ward. Now all of this is too much, as we have said, for any one
man. In the smaller places, it is well enough for the rabbi to bear
a goodly proportion of the burdens of the whole community. but in
the great metropolitan cities,• this is no longer possible. The con-
scientious rabbi would despise himself did lie habitually shirk work
that needs to be done for the well-being of the whole community.
But that such work may be well done, and that at the same time,
the minister himself may not pay the whole price for it, some system
of division of labor within the ministry of the large congregations
must be worked out.

Unlike most rabbis, he has no idea when he enters the pulpit
week by week, what men and women shall sit before him in the
pew. But the personnel of his congregation does not in any wise
affect his message. Ile brings to the people before him in simple,
direct, and forceful style a spiritual message that cannot fail to
stimulate and exalt those who hear it, whether they be ministers or
laymen, whether they be rich or poor, whether they be men of
affairs or those whose lives are circumscribed.
And in this attitude toward the pulpit message, Rabbi Fisher
sets a standard which other men might well strive to attain. 'foo
many of the ministers of
all denominations count their success not
so tench by what they say as by the manner in which they say it.
Few men there are who speaking in the presence of so many rabbis
as Rabbi Fisher addressed on New Year's Day, would havt
. had
the full courage and the deep sincerity to speak as simple and yet as
strung a word as he spoke without oratorical flourish, without
striving after effect, but a message made virile and vital by the
manhood of the man who sp4)ke it forth.
If noes of this type tilled all our pulpits, there w&Ild be less
indifference to things Jewish than is
the case today. We are grate-
ful to Rabbi Fisher for the work that he .
is doing for Israel and for
humanity. May strength be given him to do it through the years.

to? If persecution is primarily racial
rattler than religious it is none the
less reprehensible. Race prejudice and
religious bigotry are twins.
Anti-Semitism in America.
"America and Great Britain, of all
lands, are the ones where ' neither re-
ligious nor racial enmities might be
expected to exist, for they have prided
themselves upon their civil and re-
ligious liberty. While, however, we
were engaged in studying the rights
of religious minorities in other coun-
tries we were startled and humiliated
by the outbreak of propaganda against
the Jews in England and the United
States. Inflammatory and abusive
articles, pamphlets and newspapers
are being diligently circulated among
public officials, editors, teachers,
clergymen, and many others. A de-
termined effort is apparently being
made to poison the minds of those
who make and enforce our laws and
who would mould public opinion. The
scale upon which propaganda is being
conducted indicates a liberally financed
organization. The crux of the charge
is that 'there has been for a century '
a hidden conspiracy of Jews to pro.
duce revolution, communism, and
anarchy by means of which they hope
to arrive at the hegemony of the
world;' that 'this is really a con -
spiracy against civilization; and that
the revolutionary Bolshevist move-
ments in many lands, and the innum-
erable strikes of working men (from,
the day of the armistice until today
not a single week has passed without
a strike, we are told) has been di-
rectly due to 'this conspiracy.' No
matter where trouble has occurred, in
Russia, Poland, Hungary, Austria
Portugal, Fratice, Great Britain, or
America. it is all charged back upon .
these arch conspirators. Disturb ,
ances everywhere, even the Turkish
revolution, are said to be the work of
this 'Jewish conspiracy.'
"One's first feeling towards this
propaganda is contemptuous indiffer-
ence. It seems incredible that such
palpable bigotry should be taken
seriously. But we should not under-
estimate the influence of constantly
reiterated charges upon uninformed
minds; nor should we imagine that
the appeal to racial and religious
fanaticism can no longer arouse the
passions of the mob. The editor of
the Londde Daily Chronicle rightly
observes that, lit the case of a few
comParatiyely over'-strung people, the
war strain has produced -a species of
quasi-insanity. Men, some of whom
formerly had qualities fitting them for
responsible positions, have been
worked 'into a condition where their
minds run amuck. They suffer from
war hysteria. They are a prey to
violent and groundless obsessions
which they do their utmost to convey
to others, and in the excitement of
their effort they are apt to leave the
most ordinary scruples behind.

God of our Fathers, lend Thine aid,
Lend courage that we may withstand
The shafts of malice, barbed with hate,
That seek our woe in every land.
Yea—lend once more Thy mighty strength,
Nor for our errors hide Thy face,
The menace of a thousand years
Assails again Thine ancient race.
The menace that our blindness thought
Man's fuller light and knowledge slew,
Now grim and deadly rears its head,
God—grant us strength to fight anew.

Nor ask we Lord the battle aid,
Thou gayest in an ancient day,
The strength to wield a victor's sword
A nation's destiny to sway.
For strength of soul alone we plead
That in our eyes the foe may see
The dauntless spirit born of faith,
The courage wrought from trust in Thee.
Strength—strength we pray to cleave unto
The laws Thy Word would bid us heed,
Truth—Honor—Justice—Mercy—Love
'tea, Service for each sacred need.

God of our Fathers—hear our prayer;
Stretch forth Thine hand—incline Thine ear,
Erect, uplifted with such strength
Thine ancient people have no fear.
'tea—though the venomed arrows fall,
Though every turn he menace-fraught
Their shafts will shatter on our shields,
Their idlest onslaughts come to naught.
And when within a newer dawn
The Book of Truth shall be unsealed,
Before the nations of the earth
Thy children—Lord—will stand revealed. •

Charles Harvey Burkholder, noted

lectured before the Jewish Woman's
Club at the regular meeting of the so-
ciety Nlonday afternoon on "The
World's Master Paintings," profusely
illustrating his talk with colored lan-
tern-slide reproductions.
Mr.' Burkholder held the interest of
listeners front the beginning, tracing
art in its infancy in the old world,
through its vicissitudes in early Egypt,
the Renaissance period in Italy, the
Dutch masters and early mosaics, com-
paring the perspective to present-day
art.
Exquisitely beautiful were the pres-
entations from the world's famous pic-
tures in the Sistine Chapel, Pitti Pal-
ace, Spanish Art, ancient Rome, show-
ing works of art that had hem ex-
humed from the ruins of Pompeii,
having been buried in lava and ashes
for over 2,000 years. The speaker's
talk was replete with vivid portrayals
of the master paintings and was both
instructive and interesting.
