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. DR.

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.
