HIDDEN MOTIVES CHARGED AGAINST

GRAND LODGE OF B'NAI B'RITH ORDER
IN SUSPENSION OF DETROIT CHAPTER Saturday night, each old and

its functions. Secondly, to prove
the hasty, unwarranted, unchari-
table, irregular action and unbusi-
ness-like, unprecedented attitude
of the District Grand Lodge com-
mittee which is responsible for the
charter revocation.
To properly visualize and to
make understandable the situa-
tion, it is necessary to explain the
method of taxation which is as
inequitable as it is ridiculous.
"The lodge secretary reports
the number of membership upon
the books to the District Grand
Lodge. The secretary of the su-
perior body then proceeds to levy
an assessment upon the reported
number of members, at the rate of
$7.10 per year each, in quarterly
installments, without regard to
the actual amount collected by the
local lodge from membership
dues.
"Under the by-laws, every lodge
is required to carry a 'member for
six months before he becomes sub-
ject to suspension. Under this
rule, no lodge can escape payment
for a large number of members
who are delinquent in their dues
for at least six months. Loral
lodges, therefore, are compelled
to carry a crushing financial bur-
den. Pisgah was no exception to
this inflexible rule.
"The administrative forces as-
suming the reins on Jan. 1, 1926,
discovered that Pisgah Lodge was
:harmed by the District Grand
Lodge with a $6,089.03 delin-
quency. Why the District Grand
Lodge slowed so large a sum to
accumulate without challenge or
action, only they can explain. Suf-
fice it to say here, that during the
year of 1926, this lodge not only
promptly met the assessment of
$5,750 for that year, but in addi-
tion thereto applied $600 upon the
old debt above referred to.
"Pisgah delegates at the Dia-
trict Grand Lodge convention,
held at Milwaukee on July 4, 1926,
appeared before the general com-
mittee of the District Grand
Lodge to effect a settlement and
adjudication of this crushing load
upon active workers and were in
no wise responsible for the stag-
gering sum involved. The gen-
eral committee then referred the
entire matter to a special commit-
tee which dealt with Pisgah's
proper representatives. This com-
mittee decided that if Pisgah
Lodge W01.11,1 submit a list of de-
linquent members for the year
1924 and 1925 who have paid no
dues, that the general committee,
if the facts warranted it, would
make suitable recommendation to
finally bottle the whole matter.
The total sum owed by these de-
linquents to Pisgah by far exceed-
ed the $5,5 no in question. Bare
the matter ended temporarily.
"The next convention of the
District Grand Lodge was held.
in the City of Detroit, where this
old claim again was taken up with
the general committee, with the
who
result that those delegates
•
were active in the matter were
assured, by way of a gentlemen's
agreement, that if they would
cease pressing adjustment of the
claim, the general committee was
willing to forget it, because the
laws of the District provided no
safe method of otherwise charging
it off of the books.
"Beginning Jan. 9, 1928, the
new administration inherited the
Grand Lodge debt of $1,466.15; in
addition thereto, the lodge was as-
sessed $1,466.15 for the first quar-
ter of 1928, and $1,118.25 for the
second quarter of the same year.
These ascessments were not met
because of the distressing business
conditions which befell our mem-
bers, who postponed the payment ,
of dues to a happier day, in spite
of the diligent efforts of the ad-
ministration to collect dues and to
maintain lodge functions.
"On April 30, the president and
secretary of the District Grand
Lodge arrived in Detroit and sat
in conference with local lodge offi-
cers regarding these assessments
past. due. As a result of the con-
ference, an agreement was drawn
by Secretary Frankel. agreed 'to
and signed by both parties, which
provided as follows:
" 'That $1,466.15 be paid, and
was paid immediately, a like
amount to be paid on June 22, and
the assessment for the second
quarter of 1928 or $1,118.25 is
to be' paid in monthly installments
of $100 each, commencing August,
1928:

ment, Pisgah Lodge paid $200 on

Ile had stumbled into an unknown
sanctuary. I shall pass over the ,
rest of the fascinating tale and
tell you only that a few years after
this accidental visit at the syna-
gogue, he applied to the most dis-
tinguished rabbis of Europe for
admission into the fold of Juda-
ism. Ile wrote or presented him-
self to the rabbis of France, in
Germany and in Italy. And here
is what must be for the average
person the most astonishing fea-
ture of his whole story. Despite
his evident sincerity, despite his
readiness to sacrifice everything
for the sake of Judaism, all of
these rabbis, acting independently,
were unanimous in • dissuading him.
The tone of all their replies was
this: Even if you are fully con-
vinced of the principles of Juda-
ism, you can serve them better as
a liberal Catholic than you can as
a Jewish proselyte. Men like you
are needed not as converts from
one religion into another, but as
unifying harmonizing elements be-
tween the great religions of the
world.

special circumstance. If this
young Catholic had merely beconoe
convinced of the truth of the Jew-
ish God—conception, he would
probably have listened to the rata
bin and remained a Catholic. For
a Catholic can believe in the abso-
lute unity of God and give sonic
special interpretation to the doe- 1
trine of the Trinity nnd other
dogmas embarrassing to monothe-
ism. What happened to Palliere
was that he fell in love with the
Hebrew language, and his love of
Hebrew drove him irresistibly to
a self identification with the He-
brew people. Language has a way
of exercising this magic influence
upon men. They who love Ilebrow
love it passionately. There were
many dark moments in the history
of the Jew in Europe when the
Jew needed a friend among the
Christians. Invariably he found
such a friend among the Chris-
tians who knew Hebrew. Loving
the Hebrew tongue, such Chris-
tian scholars could not but be
friendly to the people whose soul
it expressed. If Poilliere
a
proselyte today, it is because' of
the sheer drive of his own will-
power and not because the rabbis
did not live up to the Jewish prin-
ciple of discouraging the convert.
American Reform rabbis would
have acted in the same way. There
is only one point at which we dif-
fer from the Talmudic standard.
The Talmudic rabbis held a par-
ticularly negative attitude toward
conversions in which the fader or
marriage is involved. But we of
today feel otherwise. When a
mixed marriage appears inevitable,
we act on the principle that con-
version is necessary for the sake
of family unity, and we act in the
faith that a conversion enters I
into not for its own sake, but for
that special purpose will in time
be transformed into a conversion
for its own sake. As the rabbis
expressed themselves of students
who studied for other motives than
love of study, "Mi shelo lishma Is
lishma" ("from an ulterior pur-
pose they will evolve into the
genuine purpose").

I venture to predict that the
time is not far off when all the

adopt the attitude exemplified by

count it a victory to make inroads

MISS CAROLYN A. GOODMAN
with their own religious group
have a higher duty tee stay and
work for liberalization within
their own group than to uproot
themselves and go into another.
Is one religion, Own, as good as
another?
No, for me Judaism to the best.
It is the best even though I see a
thousand faults in it and its fol-
lowers, and even though I see a
thousand ways in which I can learn
from other religions. Is Judaism,
then, better than Christianity? For
me, yes. But not for the Chris-
tian. For him Christianity is best
even though he may sec a thou-
sand faults with it and its follow-
ers, and even though he may see
a thousand ways in which he can
learn from other religions. Any
liberality toward other religions
which is not accompanied by a
special love for one's own is not
liberality but indifference. -
Professor Foakes-Jackson ante
Said tee his class: "The reason that
there are no more religious wars
is that nobody nowadays cares
enough about religion to fight
about it." There is much truth
in this bit of humor. ,Our pose of
broadmindedness may be sheer in-
difference. This is why I take no
tolerant expression on religion
seriously unless it comes from a
devout man.
In this small world where rep-
resentatives of various religions
which were once for removed one
from another must constantly
come into contact with each other,
in it modern world where strong
forces are operating to destroy
religion altogether, the strategy
of the great religious bodies must
be not to seek conquests at the ex-
pense of one another, but, first,
to hold their own; second, tee unite
as distinct personalities into a
joint campaign to strengthen the
cause of religion as a whole, as
Christianity and Judaism seem to
be doing in America through the
agency of the Good Will Commis-
sion.
To hold our own, then, thispol-
icy which our rabbis adopted ninny
centuries ago has proven its wis-
dom. It is soon to become the
univenaoll religious policy., But
what if areligious group is unable
to hold its own? What if it ne-
glects the education of its chil-
dren? What if its adults cease

assessment for the third quarter of
1928 amounted to $871.53, and the
following payments were made to

only a balance of $200 unpaid on

"This brings us to the actual
date of charter revision. This

1928, and held in abeyance pend-

We are here confronted with the.
startling information that at the
time that the suspension of this
lodge was finally confirmed, the
total delinquency of Pisgah to the
Grand Lodge amounted to exactly

" 0Y
tion, Secretary Frankel informed
Pisgah's general committee that
the only reason for the suspension
of this lodge was the non-payment
of assessments. The administra-
tive forces of this lodge consider
this a subterfuge, an evasion and
an ill-affected mask to conceal
motives which they have not the
grace or sportsmanship to publicly
communicate. Not only wax this
lodge hastily suspended, but the
method employed was irregular,
unprecedented and indefensible
on the
I that Pisgah Lo d ge
was never notified that suspension
of this lodge would become a sub-
ject matter of the general commit-
tee meeting to be held on Oct. 13.
This deprived I'isgah and its ofli-
cers of the opportunity of appear-
ing in behalf of our lodge. We
were charged, convicted and sen-
tenced without a hearing and with
no chance of defense; a procedure
more unappetizing than the sus-
pension itself, and incompatible
with the cardinal principles of the
order, 'Benevolence, Brotherly
Love and Harmony.'
"Severe disciplinary measures
may be invoked only to safeguard
an organization. The general com-
mittee has deprived itself of this
defense by the high-handed, czar's-
tic method of procedure, which we
strenuously resent. The active
men and women of Pisgah Lodge
feel at least deserving of notice of
contemplated summary action for
years of sacrifice and loyal devo-
ting. For this reason, and others
too numerous to mention here, the
administrative forces recommend
that Pisgah Lodge accept the sus-
pension and refuse to consider re-
instatement at this time."
