"Penitence, prayer and charity avert the evil decree."
This significant statement, found in the "unsanetoker
prayer, deserves more than passing consideration. For it
forms the nucleus of all our prayers. Our purpose in pray-
ing is to avert the evil decree. Our dread, our most ago-
nizing fear, is the "roah hagzerah," the evil decree. As
the sick long for relief, so do we long to escape the horrors
of life. So our attention is arrested when we read in the
holy day prayers the penance for evil—penitence, prayer
and charity.
Were this offered remedy always to affect a cure, our
problem in life would be solved. We would spend our lives
applying this cure. But, alas, we find instead that even
those who do not fail to pray three times a day, who sub-
ject themselves to all sorts of afflictions to atone for their
sins and adorn their path in life with pure charity must
struggle and endure all sufferings and hardships. We find
that these penitent, pious and charitable people are not
immune from sickness and death and hold no earthly ad-
vantage over their fellow mortals.
To my mind this statement, if clearly understood, is
found to contain great truth and import. Its significance
can better be brought out by a proper translation of "roah
hagzenah." The "evil decree" is not the translation of
"roah hagzerah," for then it would be "hagzerah horoah."
The real version is the "evil of the decree." The expres-
sion now reads. "Penitence, prayer, and charity avert the
evil of the decree."
And that is the idea the authors of the prayer meant
to convey. These learned men well realized that the de-
cree itself was inevitable. But what they meant was that
the bitterness of the fatality of the decree, its painful sting,
could be avoided by inner repentence, sincere and hopeful
prayer, and pious charity.
For the truth and reality of these words we have only
to look about us and note the attitude men take toward
life. We cannot help but see that religion, the belief in
Cod, is all important in determining what that attitude is.
To illustrate: When some catastrophe befalls a poor and
non-religious man he grumbles over his fate, curses the day
of his birth, and blasphemes the whole creation. Ile feels
the "roah hagzerah," the bitterness of his destiny. lie
drinks deep of the bitter cup of life. On the other hand,
when a similar calamity befalls a pious man, with the same
degree of poverty, he bears heroically his fate. The pious
man remains unshaken in his faith in the justice of God
and in the belief that God will reward the good. What a
world of difference religion makes upon man's outlook in
life! Faith in the justice of God can make the poor con-
tent; nay, even rich.
This confidence in the justice of God was so profound
among the wise of the Talmud that they actually enjoyed
poverty. They knew no misfortune. The story told of
Rabbi Judah, one of the wisest Hebrew scholars of an-
tiquity, illustrates the point well.
Some rabbis came to Rabbi Judah and said to him:
"Our wise men have made a declaration that leaves us no
peace because we cannot understand it. It is the saying
that 'man ought to praise God for ill fortune as much as
for good fortune, and should welcome both with equal
gladness.' Explain to us how we are to understand that."
The rabbi laughed and said: "For an answer to your ques-
tion you must go to some one else. For I have never ex-
perienced misfortune in my life." They knew, however,
that the rabbi's life, from time of his birth, had been a long
period of pain and suffering. They understood the rabbi's
answer.
Even more pronounced is the difference in the manner
the religious and non-religious approach death. How
dreary is the picture of the rich man who denies the ordeal
of the divine and does not believe in the continuance of
life after death. How shuddering is the thought of death
to him! lie feels the "roah hagzerah," the evil decree, in
its most morbid state. How differently a man with confi-
dence and faith in God approaches death. Such a man
conceives this as a vestibule in which to prepare himself
to enter the better world, where happiness reigns supreme.
And his preparation is ordained prayer and good activi-
ties. Teshuva, Tephilah, Zedakah truly avert the evil of
the decree of death.
It is true that even a penitent, pious and charitable
man cannot avert poverty, sickness, and death. But it is
also true that his spiritual fortunes are more valuable than
gold or silver. Poverty does not make such a man un-
happy, sickness does not make him desperate, death he
considers not destruction. This world to him is a passage
to a better beyond.

The Story of Sisyphus Holds a
Lesson for Folks Who Save!
T
HERE is an old story in Greek Mythology about
a king whose name was Sisyphus. Having incur-
red the enmity of the gods, he was sentenced to
push a huge stone up a mountain side; but it was the
irony of the gods that just as he was about to push the
stone across the goal it would slide back.
Just so it is with many people who start
to save. They set a mark, but before they
attain it some temptation or need causes
them to spend what they have already
saved, and they are no farther along than
they were in the first place.
This Bank has developed a system which
we call "Disciplined Saving." It is design-
ed for the man or woman who finds it
"hard to save." It is a simple, sensible and
convenient system of banking that hun-
dreds of Detroiters are using to advantage.
Any officer of this Bank will tell you
about it.
