Preparing for Confirmation.

Only a few weeks shall elapse before the time when many
hundreds of our Jewish boys and girls in every part of the
country will stand before the altar to pledge allegiance to the
faith of their fathers. It is therefore not too early for rabbis
and the parents of the children to think seriously of the signifi-
cance in the life of the child of the confirmation ceremony and
how best to make that ceremony as telling as it may possibly be.
It is too late in the day, we hope, to make it necessary to
stress the fact that the confirmation, unless it is to fail utterly
in its purpose, must be essentially a religious ceremonial. To
turn it into an elocutionary contest or into a style show or into
an occasion for display and present giving is to degrade the
ceremony and to rob it of all spiritual significance that is po-
tential in it.
Fortunately most of the rabbis understand this. And while
they attempt to make the ceremonial as beautiful and as im-
pressive as they may, they at the same time are doing their
utmost to strip it of everything that tends to minimize its re-
ligious and spiritual appeal. But that their efforts may suc-
ceed, they must have the whole-hearted co-operation of the

If the Jew wanted to escape difficulty

he would hardly have waited this

and dreary days of medieval misery
and persecution were certainly a far
more propitious period for Jewish

ture in Chicago the other day. And I ask you who, in your opinion,
is the greatest poet? For fear you will guess wrong, I will tell you
Untermeyer's answer—King Solomon; second greatest, David of the
Psalms, and the third our Heinrich Heine. Iam quite sure there will
be a division of opinion regarding the third, but then you know
Untermeyer is a poet and is entitled to • little poetic license in such
matters.

Did you ever hear Rabbi Hirsh Masliansky sneak or preach or lec-
ture? I thoueht of him in connection with • dinner tndered to him
in New York the other day prior to his going to Palestine for • si x
months' trip. Masliansky is one of the most dramatic speakers in the
country. He can make you laugh or cry even if you don't understand
Yiddish. His gestures are so expressive that they almost talk in any
language. I am sure that when he gets to 'Pale•tine, if the Moslems
and the Christians only give him • chance to be heard, he will hav e
them converted to Judaism before he return., and convince the m
absolutely that the Jews have • right to own Palestine.

If I were salted who are in a measure responsible for the severe
immigration laws now being passed, restricting to an undue degre e
the coming of Jews to this country, I would name the bootlegger s ,
the half-baked radic•ls, the professional 'failures," the undue propor-
tion of unethical Jews in the professions. You may not like to read
this or to hear it, but is it not nearly so uncomfortable to read about
these things as to know that we have a miserable lot of Jews who have
no conscience, no consideration for themselves or their people, and who
have so abused the hospitality of America that they have helped make
it impossible for their own friends and relatives to come over.

ness, or of his ancient ancestry, but that whatever he had reason to
be proud of would be brought about by his own efforts is a pretty
sensible chap. I haven't patience when I listen to Jews who are not
all they should be, finding the keenest satisfaction in hearing about
the wonderful records made by their ancestors.

Instead of wasting so much time claiming the prophets of Israel,
I am sure the prophets if they were Mire would be far more inter-
ested, and it would be a source of far greater satisfaction to them,
if these proud descendants would practice what they taught. Reminds
me too much of the church folk who make the most noise in pray-
ing but don't know half the time what they are actually saying. The
glories of yesterday will not Mane for the shortcoming. of today. The
Jews have contributed a great deal to civilization but let as prove
ourselves worthy of those who gave so much to humanity.

Strange how the wheels of destiny do turn. Today Russia, with
the exception of England and this country, offers the Jew greatest
freedom. He has more opportunity and is given more humane and
liberal treatment; more rights and privileges than ever in all the
history of Ccardom. And I don't believe for • minute this is due to
the fact that there are many Jews Bolshevists, but I believe it is due
to the more real spirit of democracy that is now coming to the sur-
face in that country. After all, while one regrets the excesses of a new
revolution, who will say that the Russian people are •ny worse off

I have it from Pipp's Weekly that Ford is sending over II men to
Europe to hobnob with the scum of the old world in order to gather
every bit of trash and all the evil things that can be obtained about
the Jews. This is being done because Ford has failed to prove any-
thing in relation to an international conspiracy in this country and
now is sending his crew to poke among the refuse for his high minded
paper. Someone asked me the other day if the Dearborn Independent
was no longer being published, and I said that if it is no one hears ay
more about it. It is probably • secret publication now, secret between
Ford and Liebold and Cameron, but because the public are no longer
interested, it is dead. Let it rest in peace.

I always said that William Jennings Bryan, the Peerless One,
should have been a minister instead of being in politics. The other
day in Detroit he made the statement that the day would come when
professors would not be tolerated in universities who did not believe
literally in the Bible stories. No, he wasn't joking. Another man who
has the same type of mind is former Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Don't be surprised if some day Bryan and Daniels will hold • revival
meeting in your city. They are strong for the good old reliable,
asbestos-proof, brimstone Hell, and don't forget it for • minute.

Gladstone was another politician who thought he was an e xpert
on theology until Huxley pricked him under the skin. If I em n ot
