EDITORIAL
THE UJA CAMPAIGN IN 1951
In its resolution requesting the Jewish communities
to launch the 1951 UJA campaign as quickly as possible,
the national conference at Atlantic City stressed the
urgency by declaring that such action was necessary “be-
cause the agencies of the UJA are engaged in a program
of migration and rehabilitation aid in Israel and else-
where which, in the present world emergency, must be'
enlarged to rescue and resettle' maximum numbers of
Jews while they can still be reached and saved.’’
The conference opened against the background of a
world situation fraught with catastrophe and an address
by the President of the United States sounding ominous
danger signals. Under those circumstances it was ine-
vitable' that the men who gathered to plan Jewish rescue
and rehabilitation in the critical year 1951 should reckon
with the situation. It is a painful and tragic matter to
contemplate, but the hard possibility remains that the
coming year may see' the international stresses and strains
increasing rather than diminishing. And should there,
God forbid, occur a real eruption the remnants of our
people will be exposed to complete destruction.
It is against this possibility that the UJA campaign
in 1951 takes on even greater urgency than ever beforb.
Right now many Jews can still be reached and saved.
Later it may be' too late, and then American Jewry will
have on its conscience the lives of hundreds of thousands
of Jews who otherwise might have been saved.
It is the sacred duty of our communities to plunge
into the UJA drive at once, to raise as much money as
possible as soon as possible so that rescue work may begin
in full at once and be completed before seemingly in-
evitable catastrophe strikes. Never perhaps in the phil-
anthropic efforts of our community has time been so im-
portant as element. If we fail this time there' may not
be left a single Jew to save.
Let us now dedicate ourselves to saving human lives
which we may not later be able to save. Let this slogan
be in the heart and soul of every American Jew and we
will not fail.

UNDERTONES
By Abraham J. Brachmaan
Years ago a distinction was drawn between natural
religion and revealed religion. It was held that natural
religion was a true product of the human mind and as
such was worthy of commendation for the many fine
points it achieved. Nevertheless it was held to be subject
to the peversities of human nature.
It was nice that men had thought of higher beings.
It was true that in the fear and the' service of these
higher beings they harnessed their passions. However
the question remained just where they lifted up their
spirits and where they let them grovel in the dust of de-
gradation.
Men worshipped. Sometimes they worshipped a
higher object. But so often they worshipped a lower
object. As a result of that worship some of their institu-
tions we're good, but so many were lowly.
Then came the revealed religions beginning with our
own and continuing's, in the minds of their adherents, to
our daughter religions. These lifted men forever out of
the mud in which their natural religion had kept them.
God himself appeared or spoke to Prophets who then im-
parted His teachings to men. Truth at last was revealed
to humanity who had not known it theretofore.
In our own system this truth took on the form of
laws by which men were to live and implicit in which was
the fact that the laws were an accompaniment of God’s-
revelation of himself to the Prophet. Those laws were
divine and if their divine revelation were denied the laws
had: no validity and if ths laws were not obeyed their
divine origin was profaned.
There' was no playing with this belief.. One might
play with the letters of the Torah to permit speculation
and interpretation in regard to particular passages. But
there was no playing with the belief in the devine revela-
tion of the Law. There we're few heinous offenses against
doctrine which would read a Jew out of living Judaism
and out of eternal life but that was one of them.
When the doctrine of evolution became fashionable
there was an inclination to remove the sharp dividing
line between depravity and nobility in religion and there-
fore betweeti natural religion and revealed religion. In-
stead there was seen to be a gradual progression from the
one to the other. All religion was seen to have its origins
in natural worship and all worship was seen to have as
its goal the great source of life.
