The establishment of an agency
for Jewish social work at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, by
the Order, is hoped to overcome the
serious problem brought about there
by the absence of Jewish contacts,
an absence that produced .such a
serious reaction against Jews that
the Anti-Defamation League looked
into the matter and suggested the
forming of the agency, it was stated
at the* meeting.
The Aleph Zadick Aleph, junior
order of the B’nai B’rith, was voted
a subvention of $10,000 to carry on

A letter read by M. D. Naman,

Dr. David Lefkowitz, rabm^d Temple

"Doctor Barnston has loyally,
faithfully and with singleness of de-
votion and remarkable ability served
of Temple Beth Israel and

through you, Israel of the world.
Aside from his great learning, which
he never ostentatiously displayed, his
whole personality glowed with hi*
sincerity of purpose and gentleness
of thought and deed.
"Temple Beth Israel has felt the
benediction of his long years of fine
leadership. A congregation honors
itself by showing appreciation as you
have for those finer qualities of heart
and soul which frequently are passed
by unnoticed because they refuse to
blatantly advertise themselves. We
congratulate .Temple Beth Israel for
the graceful compliment it is showing
its beloved rubbi by olecting him fog
life. It is a sign of confidence un-
usually well deserved. May our Heav-
enly Father bless your congregation
and its rabbi.”
'In his sermon at the Friday night
service, Doctor Barnston spoke in
particular to the many couples whom
he had united in the bonds of matri-
mony, special letters of invitation
having been directed^tp a^ mimy of
these as could be located. ■
Selecting “Love and 'Courtship'
Among the Jewish People” for his
subject, Doctor Barnston traced the
history of mutual love from the dawn
of mankind to the present day, term-
ing matrimony as observed today the
“crowning triumph.”
Scoring the loose divorce, laws,
prevalent in certain sections ok.the
United States, lie cited the diffei
between Nevada, where a divore»
be obtained “almost for the aski
and South Carolina, vyhere mar

state laws.
“Divorces should not he easy,” he
declared, “and neither should they be
impossible. More stringent laws Ve-
ga rd ing divorces would solve muny
oi, oui- 'matrimonnial problems.”
Deploring the extent to which some
hail gone toward, modernizing matri-
mony, Rabbi Barnston said:
“It’ is a source of great satisfac-
tion to' me to reflect that .the Jewish
people have not- ntpdernizgd (heir
laws of matrimony beyond recogni-
tion.

What man stands higher among the
citizens of Houston than Dr. Barn-
stoh?" I just' learned the other day
that his congregation had elected Dr.
Barnston as its rabbi for life. This
is an example of what I have been,
talking about. Whenever a man
preaches the doctrine that Abraham
taught faithfully it is a light for men
to look upon. From a Christian pul-
pit this morning, I bring greetings
to Rabbi Barnston. our good friend,
and cal) to him and his church across
the centuries, reminding them that
their church' and ours are mingled. I
wish our church and theirs could see
a little more clearly together today.
In the future I think they will. If
there is something in the eye of thd
Jew, or if there is something in the
eye of the • Gentile, that prevent*
them from seeing together, may it
paaa away, and may they come to see
eye to eye, and worship, in synagogue
and church in still closer spiritual
unity.”

too late and ended too soon, and I
am tempted to say to you now, be-
fore asking the Benediction, that per-
haps it were more fitting for me to

theme, “A Jew Looks at Christian-
ity.” I am trying to-rend your minds
and hearts In order to know whether
you would rather have me do that,

fuller address which I thought it

cepting that the service was unduly
prolonged and my “word of appeal
took too much time.
The story of the Way in which the
Jews looks ul Christianity is told
by appeal of this mornjng for the
resurrection or restoration of the Sy-
nagogue in Galilee. A my brother
and friend has said—Jesus was a
Jew. He wus not a Christian, he wsis
not a Kcrniah, he was put a German,
nor a Frechnvttti, nor a Russian, nor
an Italian, nor an American. He was
a Galileun Jew of the' first century
and you cannot under land Jesus,
and no one ever will understand him
•ax-as- I dared to hay two years ago
with rather disastrous consequences
who seeks to take J*l’K out of and
away from his Jewish background,
lie is a child of his people. He lie'
longed to the North Giddean -section
of his land, and his ntinil and heart
of his people through the ages. I read
this morning: “Thou skull love the
Lord, thy God, with all t)iy heart*
with all thy soul and with all thy
strength.’’..Then I added "Thou sJlalt
love thy neighbor as tlry elf. Thou
•shalt fove the stmrtger thyself.” I
quoted Jesus exactly aft Jesus’ quoted
Deuterronomy and Lcvriicus, except-
ing that 1 quoted him in the English
translation and lie quoted Deuter-
onomy and Leviticus in. the Hebrew
original which was his own. tongue,
the only tongue he km v. his moth-
er’s totigue, the. tbiigue with slightly
dialectic Variations, o! his fellow
Galileans and fellow I’destinians’.
A Jew looks at Ohri: uiinity for a
moment in the person of him who
speaks to you ifftw i.nd‘says Jesus
was a Jew. In three ways Christen-’
durn has rejected Jesus, the Jew, far
more truly, far more really, far more
continuously than th- Jew over re-
jected Jestis. For the Jesus of tlnli-
joe, jjhristianjjy has substituted the
Christ, I Will not say of myth," Inlt
the Christ of theology, the Tlhfjstanf
dogma* .If,some Jews rejected Jesus,
the Jew, for an hour, for nineteen,
centuries the Christ- of: Church and
dogma and theology has- been ’suf-
fered |to .supersede, .yrld then to re-
ject Jesus, the Gable m child, Jesus
the Jewish teaChW'.
And in-another way-, Christendom
has rejected and denied Jesus, the
Jew..it magnifies his birth, as. bp an-
other day it, glorifies his death and
whut it holds to he Ins physical rcs»
urrection or to have been his resur-
rection. Anil for the most part I
know it is an awful indictment, lust
I must speak as the truth of aiy
heart, bids me speak it ignores what
was in Jesus’ life, what was on Jesus’
lips. It glorifies his birth, it memo-
rializes his death; it ignores, for tile
most paft, his life. his. faith, his
teachings, that faith which, I must
be forgiven for sajiitg, has a mini-
mum in common with the creeds and
the dogmas and church councils and
all the rest, for, after all, it whs the
faith *of a Jewish child: "Thou shalt
love the Lord, thy Gad. Thou slmlt
love,thy neighbor as thyself. Tljitpi
shalt love the stranger as thyself.”
Thou shalt lpvcjJiiiu ’enemy,--that

Semitism Every aatl-Jewiah out-
break la a new Crucifixion of Jeeua
the Jew, la th* uttermost of blasphe-
mies against the gentleness of the
radiant and unforgettable young
Galilean. I read as recently as this
morning an appeal uttered by the,
head of one of the great Christian
comunions of earth on behalf of
peace and good will in Mpxico, in
Russia and some other land that is
named. I ask: Why did not the head
of oni^j f the mighty churches of
ends
Christendom ask for peace in Rou-
maniu, where one of the great Chris-i
tian churches is master; for peace
in the world and good will to men,
remembering Mexico while forge’ting
Roumania, is blasphemy against the
spirit that^ Christians say was in Je-
sus, the Jew.
By way of summing up, 1 tell you
the story of a- French Jew—a Jew he
has become—of whom my beloved
flriend, _ Dr. Cochran, knows, Mon-
sieur Pallier*,- born a Christian und
reared in the Catholic comtnunion
who became a Jew. 1 will not tell
his Utory now because you will after
a time in this pulpit hear the story
from his own lips. Palliere' is the
leuder of the liberal Jewish Syna-
gogue, the liberal Jewish Union as
it is eallod in Paris. He is cording
here in the fall of 1928, and for sev-
eral fiunilays in succession, this seek-
er after God, this mystic and saint,
will stand jn this place. In his thrill-
ing volume of spiritual autobiogra-
phy, “The Unknown Sanctuary,"
which is shoj-tly to apear in English,
I’allierc says that in the far-off Car-
pathian Mountains, it is some times
rumored—and he says the rummir
is a fancy born not of truth—that
Jews are seen spitting at the Crucifix.
It is false. No Jew ever mocks that
which is holy. It is,false, but, Pa-
lliere adds, IF it were, true, if it were
as true a? it is false, that a Jew spat
at the Crucifitc or that a Jew reviled
and cursed it, what would it mean?
It were, adds Palliere, neither an in-
dictment. oGJesus. aor yet of Jews.
The indictment, as Dr. Cochran has
finely and generously said today in a
spirit that does, him and those who
share his mind honor, the indictment,
adds Palliere, were of Christianity
which has converted, in truth degrad-
ed, the symbol'of suffering forgive-
'tiess and love into a token of hatred
and wrong and hurt.
the atory of the practice of Greek
Catholic* who exchanged salutation*
on Easter Day in the word* “Chriat
ia risen.” A Jew thus greeted by a
Greek Catholic, answered ruefully,
“But not for me.” Thus too I ask-
As for Christmas—what can it mean
to a Jew who hears “Glory to God
in the highest: peace on earth; good
will to men,” who sees and feels at
the same time so much worship of
the godlessnese of hate, who finds so
little peace on earth and so mudh of
ill-will among men and chiefly to
himself?.
The Jew gees and hears much said
about the “Christmas spirit” and at
the same time he knows that in some
European lands, young Jewish stu-
dents are being dealt with in cruelest
fashion by those who call themselves
Christians. And he wonders whether
Jews will ever be deult with justly
and decently, even witli kindness, be-
cause of what Christians call the
"Christmas spirit."
And the Jew hopes on, and prays
with unlessencd faith, that some day
the spirit that moved a Jew long,"
Ipng ago to pray “Let them curse, but
do Thou bless” may yet touch the
hearts of all Christendom. This is
the Christmas greeting of a Jew.
God helps us who are Jews to
reclaim the undiminished heritage of
Israel. God-gave it to Christendom
not only to affirm Christ’s name but
to proclaim his teachings and to share
his life, and to make his birth ana
his death alike the symbol of "Peace
on earth, goodwill'to men.” •
