{EDITOR'S NOT El—This'is partTl of the address delivered.b'^ the editor of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle before the Congregation of the'East Broad Street Teniptc on Friday evciiinp, December jisth. Pari I was printed tth last week's edition of the Chronicle,).
Of course I must atbnit that there are pages in the lustory o£ Jiulaism, Chris¬ tianity, Mohammcdanisin, and Buddhism which, evoke my resentment^ yea, even repugnance and ridicule. But looking broadly over' the general teiidcncy of re¬ ligion throughout the ages, my friends, I cannot help .but feel tolerantly and, rcv- erentfy disposed towards all the noble souls who lived ami labored that sub¬ lime truths might be disseminatedi and perpetuated, and that men miglit Ixcomc more enlightened, more loving, audi more exalted in their thinking and living.
Thirty-seven years ago today the World's Congress' of Religions took place at Chicago under the auspices of the World's Columbian Exposition. . This extraordinarily remarkable cv«it—pre- cursing as it did the advent of universal harmony among men and nations—at¬ tracted the attention, of thinking people throughout the world.
In the newly-constructedi Art Museum on the lake front, representatives' of hun¬ dreds of nations, tribes, religions and tongues were assembled. 1 From;."India's coral strand," from, Japan and China, clad in robes; of white, the Oriental priests mingled with the sober-clad rep¬ resentatives of the West That the four. thousand spectators in the great audi¬ torium were given a "wonderful thrill', by the spectacle of having, before them on ONE platform tl^e spiritiiar leaders of practically every church, denomina¬ tion, and sect in the entire world, 13 be¬ yond question.
My friends, I certainly would have considered it the treat of my life to have been present on this auspicious occasion. But being that my entrance into this realm of ours did not occur until five years later, I am today satisfied with the privilege I have had during the past two years of reading and studying the two large volumes containing the addresses iand papers delivered before this parlia¬ ment.
I remarked'every now and then while reading the accounts of everything which took place, that this; event ;actually marked the beginning of a new epoch of brotherhood andi peace.   It has' been for
long time my firm opjmon that :wl,igQ

As the finite, my friends, can never fully comprehend the infniite nor per¬ fectly express its own view of the divine, it necessarily follows that individual opinions of the divine nature and at¬ tributes will differ. But, jjroperly,under¬ stood, these varieties of view should nut be causes of discord and strife, ^but rather urgent incentives to deeper interest and examination.
Necessarily God reveals himsdf ,dif-. fercntly to a child than to a "man; "to a philosopher than to one who cannot read. Every man, my friends, mu&t sec God with the eyes of his own boul. Each one must behold Him through the colored glass of his own nature. Each* one ni'ust receive Him according to his own ca¬ pacity of reception. The fraternal union of the religionb of the world will, come when each seeks truly to know how God has revealed Himself in the other, and remembers the inexorable-law that with what judgment it jiidgcb, it shall be judged.

Malachi, the Hebrew prophet of old, declared in a most frank fashion, "Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us? Then why do we deal treacherously every man against his neighbor (brother) profaning the cove¬ nant of our fathers?" Let us pray, my friends, and work for the consummation of that time when there shall be estab¬ lished "a church which will hold the world within its starlit aisles, which will claim the great and the good of every race and clime, which will find with joy the grain of gold in every treed, and flood with light and with love the germs of good in every soul."

Hadassah Launches Drive
NEW YORK-IIadissah, the Wo¬ men's Zionist Organization of America, is launching a camiKiign for the Pales¬ tine' School Luncheons Fund, through which school children,'in Palestine are supplied with daily hot meals.
The campaign "begins on December 15, during the week of Chanukah, the Feast of. Lights. During this week, an appeal will be made to the children in the Relig¬ ious and Sunday Schools. Rabbis and teachers are cooperating by telling the pupils of the -work of the Fund.
The national cam[Ki:ign is being con¬ ducted by Mrs. Alexander Lamport of New York, chairman of the Palestine School Luncheons Committee of Hadas¬ sah. In announcing that the budget for this year is $25,000, an increase of $7,000 over tliat of last year, Mrs. Lamport de¬ clared that the widespread and increasing interest in the work of the committee gives promise of large returns in this year's camiKiign.
The work of the committee was begun nine years agp when the late Rev, Dr. Maurice Harris, rabbi of Temple Israel of New York, -went to Palestine with a Sunday School gift that was used to feed malnourished children. Since then the work has 'been ; carried on by the Palestine School Luncheons Committee of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Or¬ ganization of America. At present, 12 schools and 48 kindergartens arc pro¬ vided with daily luncheons for their pu¬ pils and the demand for such service by many more schools ii» increasing. The children pay a minimum of 2yi cents per meal toward the meat that costs approxi¬ mately ten ceutb. The children them¬ selves market, prepare, cook and serve the meals, thus not oiUy receiving nu¬ tritious food but learning the principles of food, values and good housekeeping.
