saints as well as many lesser
people, who have made sacred
duty of it and have been faith-
ful to the Sinai contract.
Why, my dear Father Dono-
van, should marriage be
broken up, after all the years
to contract another?
True enough,, in all the
times there have been Jews
who have fallen short of their
obligations under the contract.
But that may be said of other
people in relation to their own
religions. It would, indeed be
a much better world than this
is if all Christians were faith-
ful to their marriage to the
Royal Bridegroom. The heart
of Jesus must be broken to
behold all the unfaithful in
their cruelties, their greeds,
their evil pride, their denial
of the Beatitudes and of the
Sermon on the Mount. (I re-
call that verse of the Sermon
in which men are admonished
to do unto others as they would
be done by.)
As I have said, I myself am
glad enough in the religion to
which I am married. If I stick
to it faithfully I shall be a
happy man who will be well
deserving of the reward that
is said to be for the righteous.
There may be moments
when my footsteps stray from
the obligation; though I have
really tried to be faithful to
the duties that are of the Com-
mandments and of our pro-
phets. (The prophet who said
that what is required of me is
to love mercy, to do justice
and to walk humbly with God.
And the prophet who asked
me, Have we not one Father,
hath not one God crated us
all. And, then, Too, Leviticus
which told me to love my
neighbor as myself.)
In these is all of my religion,
except for this, in addition:
‘■'Whatsoever ye would that
others do unto you, do ye also
unto them. For that is the Law
and the Prorbsts.” This is of
your religion, in the New j
Testament, and it is of mine,
too.
Some of our rabbis may say
that this isn’t religion enough
for me,, a Jew; there are
Mosaic laws that have to do
what a man eats and with
feel like this?

home of th
other ordinations that have to
do with his physical living.
And what, Segal, are you
doing about these? the rabbis
may ask. But, sir, I am happy
in the Jewish religion as I
conceive it and intend to stand
by it to the end of my days.
So, dear Father Donovan, I
just can’t see being married
to another religion so late in
my life; especially to give up
the religion by which I have
tried Jo do as well as it has
done by me.
I think you, though, for in-
viting me. I am not meaning
to scorn any other religion. I
know the Catholic religion as
one which, like my own,
directs its people in the right
way to go. I can not go along
with all its theology but, to my
mind,, its main essential is the
decent way of life on which it
directs its people, and that
also is of my way as a Jew
and of all Jews.
And thanks for your advis-
ing your people to scorn the
tongues of bigots and to ldve
Jews as neighbors. This is ex-
cellent consel even if we never
do come to the wedding.
Your pamplet gives the
names of some Jews who took
up Catholicism and became
priests. I have no quarrel
with these for going to the
wedding. If in all sincerity
they took up a religion other
than the one to which they
were born, that is within the
right of free opinion; though
I could, in all friendliness,
point out to them that in

Judaism they could have ^ plete spiritual and intellctual
found, if they had sought, com- 1 satisfaction.

Every March of Dimes dollar invested in the fight against polio in 1954 was, in effect, a deposit toward
a polio-free future. Better treatment means less crippling for those already stricken. Polio preven-
tion, through research, may soon put the disease itself under control. Join the March of Dimes.
