THE
MESSAGE OF THE JEWISH
MINISTER. .
Inaugural Sermon to Mt. Sinai
Congregation-
Read Isaiah 51:1-16 omit 9-11.
About to assume spiritual charge of
this congregation and to act as Its
religious guide and teacher I seek
inspiration to help me in my work
from the sacred Scriptures the divine
repository of truth and) wisdom whose
words enlighten instruct eucouroge
and comfort the generations oi every
age ana oi every land. J.ne raoDi
of today can do no better than repeat
the stirring exhortations or tne
prophets who spoke to Israel nearly
3000 years ago. Therefore have I
read a short selection from the book of
the greatest of those seers aad of the
verges read I wish to repeat and em
phasize the last for it sums up the
message of the Jewish minister in all
times and may fittingly be made the
theme of my first sermon to you.
God eays to Isaiah: "X have placed
my words in thy mouth and with the
shadow of my hand have I covered
thee; to plant the heavens and to lay
the foundations of the earth and to
say unto Zlon: 'Thou art my people.' "
The prophets all believed that it was
God's word they spoke; and rightly eo.
It was no mere logical deduction o'
tbeir own reason no calm suggestion
of personal experience that they ut
tered but the solemn truths that flash
ed like meteors upoc their minds; the
burning thoughts that welled up in-
voluntarily within them; the
earnest appeals to right &cd noble
conduct and the 6 tern denuncia-.i
tlnna nf cfn an urpAn rr HaI n that thaw 1
tions of sin and wrong doing that they
made not on their own authority but
at the prompting of an impulse they
could not resist that seemed to come
to them from without from on high.
They fearlessly told the people of their
their transgressing and even
rebuked kings and nobles; and
orten they suffered for their
boldness. But they bore all and dread
ed nought because they trusted to the
protection of the same power that in-
spired them: they felt that the shadow
of God's hand covered them. Even so
my friends must the mtnister who
stands in their place today as the
guide . f the people humbly
imitate
those great leaders. It must be not
bis own but God's words that be
speaks. That is he must not attract
attention to himself and make his
object to win praise and flattery; he
must teach what is for others' benefit
must plead for that which God de-
maods must rebuke that which the;
Almighty denounces as sir must re -
peat the eternal lesson of righteous
oes-s without fear or favor
who guided protected and
May he
cheered
Israel's teachers of old grant me wis-
dom strength and power to fulfill my
duties to you that I may b able to
bring instruction to young and old to
sustain encourage and comfort you
through the vicissitudes of your career
through the struggles and difficulties
of life to lead you onward in good and
noble endeavors and ia all things to
further your highest and most sacred
interest. The substance of the mes-
sage I bring to you 1b given in the text
I quoted namely "to Dlant the heav-
ens to lay the foundations of the earth
and to say unto Zion: Thou art my
people." The subject is therefore
threefold. Let us carefully consider
each part in succession
To begin at the bottom I will slight-
ly invert the prophet's faying and first
take up the words "to lay tae founda-
tions of tbe earth." This is the minis-
ter's first great duty and religion's firt
irreat object to influence tbe affairs of
this world to put the conditions of
eartbly life on a firm foundation and to
impel people to live not only happily
but honorably nobly and charitably.
There is considerable indlfferenca to-
ward religion nowadays because it is
looked upon as purely speculative and.
having no practical purpose The
common supposition ia that it deals en-
tirely with the supernatural with
thingB beyond the reach of human
reasoothat it sets up unverifiable dog-
mas and demands belief in ideas that
the intelligent mind cannot accept.
Such a description of religion is very
wide of the truth. For its principles
religion at any rate in tbe modern
sense teaches only that which is in
full harmony with reason and in com-
plete accord with the established truths
of science. But its aim is not to dwell
upon those or to make them the chief
object of attention. It proclaims them
simply as a guide aod help to right
conduct.
I cannot speak for other religions
but ours at any rate lays most stress
on deed not on creed. The essential
purpose is to direct cooduot to form
character to make men and women ful-
fill the duties they owe to God to their
follow beings and to their own better
nature. Its centre of gravity is this

life and not the future world. While
we feel assured that our spiritual career
is not limited to the few years of earthly
existence while we believe that
"The grave is not our goal.
Dust thou art to dust returneth
Was not spoken of the soul"
Yet we place greatest emphasis on
the first line of Longfellow's verse
"Life is real; life Is earnest." What-
ever may be the future God has In store
for us it can ba determined so far as
lies in our power only by what we do
here and now. We need .religion to
teach us how to live and act. The
manual of worthy conduct Judaism
has given to the -world. Let us then
still cherish and follow it that it may
help us "lay the foundations of the
earth."
The other part of the prophet's aad
of the Jewish-minister's message points
the method of carrying out the just
named objects. "To plant the heavens"
That is a rather peculiar phase. How
can we "plant" that which is high
above us? Have you not noticed how
the arched firmament descends on all
sides at the horizon so that though
when we look up it is far above our
beads its extremities seem to touch
the earth and to be rootedfin the very
ground on which we stand? Even must
we in our lives bring heaven down to
earth; we must make earthly life heav-
enly. The blue skytvaulted at unap-
proachable heights above us so that
no matter how far upward we might
rise we would still find it at infinite
distance beyond us represents the
ideal of perfection which we must
ever look up though to attain which is
beyond human power. Yet it is per-
Lfect virtue goodness justice truth
and charity that we should strive to
vtUnt n aanth a n 4 nra a V "kii 1 H mi t
plant on earth; and we should put
forth our utmost endeavors to realize
them as fully as possible. We must
govern our conduct by higher prin-
ciples than the dictates of prudence
must regulate our actions by worthier
considerations tban what pays best
what will interfere least with our care
and convenience or what will produce
the most pleasure. We must be will
ing to make sacrifices for the sake of
what is good and true; we cannot
make much of life without
noble aspirations without keepiog ever
before us the Ideal of what human na-
ture should be. that has been "created
! in the image of God." This is the
heavenly view that we should plant
firmly in our earthly life.
The third and by no means least im-
portant section of the prophet's words
and the present rabbi's message is "To
can nntn Thnil avt m tt nannla
Shall iwe still repeat you may ask
me the old and exploded saying tbat
! Israel Is God's people in any particular
sense? Yes: that assertion is not ob
; solete; there is a truth in it which we
- must not only still recognize but make
a cardinal doctrine of our faith. Only
we must properly understand it. The
phrase "God's chosen people" does not
imply that the internal out of mere
caprice selected the tiny Israelitish na-
tion foi - is special favors. Judaism is
most emphatic in teaching that God ia
the Ruler of all nations aod the father
of all men who are all alike dear in
his sight. Neither can those words
mean that the Jewish people were to
enjoy greater happiness prosperity
and power than the other families of
earth. Our sad and troubled history
belles any such statement. No. the
meaning of tbe title is explained in
what Moses was commanded to say to
Israel: "If ye will in deed obey my
voice and keep my covenant then ye
shall be a peculiar treasure unto me
above all people for all the earth is
mine. And -ye shall be unto me a
kingdom of priests a holy. nation;"
again in tbe divine utterance repeat
ed by Isaiah: "I tbe Lord have called
thee in righteousness and will hold
thy hand and will keep thee and give
thee for a covenant of the people for a
light to the nations." Israel was
Almighty only in so far as it received
a glimpse of tbe higher lights of truth
aod in so far as recognizing the de-
mands of rizhteousness it observed a
higher morality than the surrounding
nations. And it was chosen not for
material happiness but for spiritual
leadership for the arduous mission of
teaching the law of God and tbe pre-
cepts of virtue and justice to all the oth-
er peoples of tbe earth. Our Christian
fellow men recognize this position of
the Jewish people and are at all times
ready to acknowledge it. It is we our-
selves who are blind to it or fail to ap-
preciate it. We should however be
conscious that we still have a part to
play in the world; and as descendants
of -a divinely commissioned people
should cultivate the sentiments that
make us revere our past and at tbe
same time inspire us to fulfill our duty
to the future. We are no longer a na-
tion. Jews the world over ae citizens
of tbe land in which they dwell and
share in the nationality of the people
of which they form a part. We here

and know no other fatherland than
thia country of freedom. We
are bound to our fellow citizens of
other creeds and of every shade of
opinion byjties of brotherhood and com-
mon interest. We recognize no bar-
rier of separation or exolusiveneaa in
political commercial or social life.
But religiously we still hold to the
truths handed down by our ancestors
and ancient eagea and still consider
that we have the mission of teaohing
those ideas by precepts and example
to all mankind. It is true that we feel
bound to our co-religionists in every
land net only by common faith but
likewise by bonds of kinship derived
from a common ancestry and a common
past history. But this so-called soli-
darity of the Jewish people the bug-
bear and indiotment of anti-Semitism
is not used for any political or commer-
cial purpose nor to secure united ef-
forts for wealth and prosperity at tbe
expense of the rest of tbe world's in
habitants but only to arouse sympathy
for our suffering brethren wherever
they may be and to inspire the most
large-hearted practioe of charity.
More than all it fosters or should fos-
ter tbe consciousness tbat tbe scat-
tered forces of Israel are all working
for one and the same grand object the
planting exery where of the principles
of truth righteousness aod brother
hood. For this we still say to Z. on in
the name of God: "Thou art my
people."
My friends I have come here to in-
still and try to carry out these '
three great objects to help you
make your lives pure and noble to
spur you on in devotion to loity
ideals and to cultivate within you
a true Jewish spirit. But nought can
be accomplished without your co-operation
and I trust thst on this solemn
occasion the first service held by you
as an organized congregation you win
pledge yourselves to labor earnestly
with heart and hand and mens in be-
half of the sublime purpose for which
you are banded togetner. You have
shown your zeal and good intentions
in the steps already taken. Resolve
tben to follow them up and to advance
till further even if it requires some
sacrifice and personal exertion. It is
after all for your own satisfaction and
true welfare and for the highest in-
terests of your children whom you are
trying to prepare for a happy honor-
able and worthy life. May tbe work
so auspiciously begun be continued
with genuine succesf and produce good
and valuable result! You have chosen
me as your rabbi and teacher
but my desire is to be your confidant
advisor and friend charing all tbe
personal experiences of your career
and standing your side in all the vicis-
situdes of joy and sorrow of triumph
and of difficulty of happiness and of
trouble that may enter your lives. I
trust and believe that my cordial feel-
ings will be reciprocated by you and
that we will be bound together ia sym-
pathy and friendship to work together
in all that is good and noble. May the
Almighty bless our united endeavors
and send unto us his protection help
and guidance. Amen.

This is the day of days of aU
the year. Every one ought to be happy

crowned and diademed lord of aU. It
makes us half wish we were children
again enjoying tops toys baby dolls.
The spirit of the day is one of love
and good will from New York to San
FranciscoSan Franoisco to Yokohoma
Yokohoma to Liverpool to New York.
Every body smiles and laughs today.
Even tbe dog who gets gizzarda and
scraps for dinner feels that there is
something in tbe air. There are more
happy people in the world to-day than
ever before Babes happy boys and
girls happy wives happy husbands
happy old folks happy and servants
happy. There is no doubt about it
Christ has overcome tbe world. Some
one says whoso3verlets loose a sunbeam
in this world starts a benediction
among men. What a benediction there
is in Christmas tidel Dear old Christ-
mas with its memories its hopes its
loves its surprises-
Measure the gladness that will flood
the world today from tbe social side of
Christmas. What reunions! What
handshakes! What warm kisses and
home-coming! Many a son and daugh-
ter has travelled over states yes over
oceans to eat Christmas dinoer with
father and mother. They have brought
the outiv heads with tbem too; yes
childhood gray hair wrinkled hands
manhood and womanhood in life's
prime met about tbe Christmas tab'e
today. Many a tired husband has
worked hard for weeks in order to get
home to enjoy Christmas with wife
and baby. Blessings on our dear homes
