Dr. Fishbein Discusses "Medical Follies" Before Temple Brotherhood Explains Methods of Quacks and Charlatans to A Large and Appreciative Audience , There is no gainsaying the fact that every man who attended the third din¬ ner meeting of the Bryden Road Temple .Brotherhood at the Southern Hotel, Monday.evening, March 19th, was amply repaid for his time and his money. Dr. Morris Fishbqin, the chief speaker of the evening and the guest of .honor, held thc audience spellbound for fully three- quarters of an hour discussing in his own inimitable way. "Medicai Follies," and exr plaining the methods of quacks and charlatans. Many specific examples in which dire results ensued .from resort¬ ing to various, forms of'quackery were given by the speaker who pointed out that intelligent people were just as sus¬ ceptible to the blandishments and preten¬ sions of medical fakers as the illiterates. The ignoble part played by faithheal- ing cults at the present time, was clearly and forcefully brought honie to every¬ one present. The great danger of these cults is that they instill hope, and confidence where all chances of reexivery are really gone,, and that they tend to bring about the neiglect of cases which demand proper medical and surgical care. I Dr. Fishbein touched upon, the his¬ tory of Chiropractic, Osteopaithy and the 37 faith healing cults now in yofiue in America^ He w%s introduced "as-the outstanding medical man in the United States," by Dr. -Sylvester J. Goodman. At the speakers' table Monday evening sat pr, J. H. J..Upliam, Dean of.the Med¬ ical . College of Ohio State University, Dr, Sylvester. J. Goodman^ Dr. H. M. .Platter, Dr. Samuel D. .

THELIE OF THE AGES RY RABBI SOLOMON RIVLIN There is a saying that when, we sec smoke, it is reasonable to assume that there is a. fire. Ail avalanche of criti¬ cism has descended upon the motion pic¬ ture "Thc King of Kings," producctl by Cecil B. De Mille, from Jewish !ca<Iers in America and Germany. Is the criti¬ cism )nstific<i or is it merely the out¬ burst of superscnsitivcness on thp part of Jewish ]ea<Iei'5? Personally, I believe there is .much cause for Jewish leaders to be alarmed. I believe the fire is much greater than the sinqkc it belched forth. I sincerely believe that the pic¬ ture ."King of Kings," is the rtiost de¬ famatory of Jews and Jiidaism that 1 have ever .scch. When 1 saw. it I had to control, myself from slmuting out, "Ij is.the lie of the ages." The picture is a modern reiteration of the. impassioned ancient and medieval cry, "The Jew is the Christ Killer." It has the advantage of all the artistic im- pressivcncss and appeal that mdderii technic can offer to inculcate this in the niinds of old and,young, liberal ahd bigot, literate and" illiterate. / - For close to 20OO years the Jew has- been the "Wandering Jew,"' hated' and' despised, whom to kill was almost a Christian-duty and to rob a Christian virtue,; all because of the pious and holy. vengeance of Christians for the blood of Jesus, their Christ, whose death they laid at the feet of his fellow country¬ men,, the Jews. The theme of 'King of Kings told ih a manner in which the picture' porti-ays it, coniing' from the mouth of a'priest was enough to incite ail ignorant mobwhicli resulted in po- gronis agaiiist. the Jews in dark,Russia of the Czars. 'There are still many lands where a passion play, a fiery cru¬ cifixion sermon,, and. above, all a picture like, King of Kings would infuriate a inob toi do extreme violence, to. innocent Jews. There are some Christians who stillbelieve, not only in vicarious atone-' ment, but in vicarious punishment. Many Christians with whom I havC; .<ipOken and who have seen ¦the picture, told me that they did'not gef'the slight¬ est reaction against the jews. What they were interested in was the glorious presentation of the character of Jesus. This they told me in defense of the picture, that it does no harm. But the impression that the picture made on these .men and women is no criterion of its evil influence. These men; and women are intelligent and broadmirided. ¦ They would bear nd evil,thought towards the Jew of today for what was wrongfully attributed to Jews of, 1900 years ago. But what, about the millions of bigoted and prejudiced in our own country, what, about the millions; of children in whom prejudice against the Jews would' be sowed ,as a result of the villianous portrayal of the chief Jewish characters. The motion picture has infinitely more influence for good and evil, upon old and young, than the written page or the living voice., r am afraid that the net result of the picture would be greater hate toward the Jews, than,greater Ipve for Jesus, particularly .on those who .are not affdiated with the church. The picture is made up bf material that is bound to cause religious and race prejudice. A picture dealing with the theme of "Kings of Kings," that is the life and, death, of Jesus should never have been fihned for commercial pur¬ poses. The source material for the pic¬ ture is tlie four gospels, which by Chris¬ tians are regarded as books of truth,- holy and inspired, ah(J non^ of the ma¬ terial in them is to be doubted, Jesus is also i-egarded by most Christians as divine., 'riiure are non-Christians who don't accept the new Testament as ab¬ solute truih, nor Jesus as divine. There are some who even regard Jesus as a myth and the gospels as completely uiir historical. As a matter of fact,. New Testament scholars' have shed a new and different light oh the origin of the gnspels and tlie life of Jesus. XhcrtI Is 110 one nniforni opinion about H all. Some of this material is regarded as historical, other as legend ojf poetry. Since there is no agreement, such mat-, ter.s slionld be left to individual churches atid each one can interpret the life of Jesus and the gospels to its heart's eon- ¦tent. Since 'the picture : has been fdnieti. would that they had paid as mucb at¬ tention to historical' facts and truth as tbey did to artistic effects. Artistically the picture is beautiful, but historically it is -far from the truth. In this it may not bo entirely the' fault of the picture, as of the sfiurcc from which it is taken .—the four gospels. All honest-New TeslaineiU 'scholars admit that the pur¬ pose of the gospels was not to write history. Its purpose was the spreadiiig and confirmation of the new faith Chris¬ tianity. In view of thc doctrine of the divinity of Jesu-s^ the writers couki not depict him as an ordinary human'being and as a Jew'. Yet ther^ is plenty of human and Jewish strata left in the gos¬ pel accounts of Jesus. But with this I will deal next week. These few facts we must mention. The earliest gospel, the one according to Mark,, was written about 45 years after the death of Jesus. The one, ac¬ cording to Matthew was written about 60 years- after, -and the one accord¬ ing to Luke, 'about 70 years after Jesift'.death. ¦ The one'according to John which is different in spirit from the other three, was written about 100 years later. There are many contradictions in- the gospels on vital points. All of them are written with an extreme feelihgof hate towards the Jews and official Judaism and* its .representatives. Any presentation of the life of Jesus must take into consideration the accuracy of the sources, must distinguish between; fact and fiction, between historical facts and religious prejudice. The picture "King of. Kings" is based on prejudice and not on history. Fiirther more, a study of thc life of Jesiis must be based on, a study of his environment a study of the life of the Jews dnring. his time, their religious and cultural standards, their poi.iticai situation, their hopes, and dreams. Whenever Jesus is brought in relationship to Jews and. Judaisni, we have a right to demand a Jesus who is connected. with the Judaism; and Pales-: tine, of his day. If Christians- delight hi the theological Jesus or the Jesus of their fancy, they should picture his char¬ acter without bringing him in relation- .sliip to Jewish history. If they do insist in centering hipi amidst Jews and Juda¬ ism, 'we iiave a right to demand that the. historical Jesus should be pictured and the historical and political situations of his time be stressed. The picture "King of Kings" violated all of this. The first' thing that-shocked me was' the difference in the appearance between Jesus, aiid the apostles, and the Jews representing the priests and phari- .sees. Jesus aud the apostles were Hke angels. Their faces radiated . kindliness and trust, and the beauty of souL aiid spirit. But the Jews were represented as meari, cunning and greedy. Jesi|S; the Jew' in body and spirit is representee! as the traditioiial Christ, not as a Semite (Concluded next week) DR.
