Description:Excerpt from The Cry of Our Board School Children: A Sermon Preached at the St. John's Wood Synagogue, on Sabbath, December 1st, 1894 Great and momentous words - to which every father and mother, every man and woman in Israel should hearken in sacred awe, constituting, as these words do, the declaration of the paramount duty incumbent upon them. God had chosen Abraham as His friend, had set His love upon him, because He knew that His faithful servant would not content himself with being God-fearing and righteous himself, but would regard it as his most solemn obligation and his choicest privi lege to train his children and the members of his household to be God-fearing and righteous even as he sought to be, and to keep the wav of the Lord, to do justice and judgment. And, in sooth, it is this line of conduct only which can prove whether we are in earnest about our religious convictions, whether we are sincere in our faith. For, granted that we are self controlled and observant ourselves, this cannot as yet be adopted as a certain and trustworthy test of our virtue and piety. Our parents may have been pious before us, and we would fain not dishonour their memory. Our conformity may be due to the force of habit, or may spring from reluctance to break with cherished associations. But if we exhort our children to make our way and rule of life their own, if we prove to them that adherence to our ancestral faith ennobles and elevates, beautifies and brightens our career upon earth, if we diligently teach them the letter and the spirit of Judaism, and if we do not limit such teaching to our children, but extend it to all whom our in uence may reach, then we show that our religious faith is not a mere sham and conventionality, but a blessed reality, we then prove ourselves to be worthy descendants of Abraham, the beloved of God. My dear brethren, Think you that I have come to you to-day to utter mere rhetorical ourishes and homiletic commonplaces touching the excel lence and necessity of religious education? No. My purpose is thoroughly and intensely practical. There is a. Certain occupation, which I may term crisis-mongering, indulged in both in the political world and in our narrower communal circles. There are people who proclaim a communal crisis when there is hardly aught amiss, and who, on the other hand, call Peace, Peace, when danger and disaster threaten the highest interests of the com munity. And I maintain unhesitatingly that we are within measurable distance of such danger and disaster. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
