His address, which will be delivered in the auditorium of the Indianapolis Hebrew’ congregation at Tenth and Delaware streets, is open to the public free of charge. Aime Palliere is one of the most Interesting character in modem religious life. His life story has been called an Odyssey of the Sprit. Born In southern France in 1875 of a stanch Catholic family, from earliest youth he was dedicated to the priesthood of that church. In his youth it was confidently predicted that because of his great spiritual gift* and intellectual attainments he would become one of the great leaders of Catholicism. In his twentietht year, after a long period of spiritual groping, he was converted to Judaism, in which he found those ideal values which he believed the most essential to the highest religious life. Since that time Monsieur Palliere has become one of the leaders of European Judaism. He has written prolifically on Judaism and universal religious problems, and is the outstanding French leader in Zionism and Jewish youth movements. He speaks Hebrew fluently, and is one of the guiding spirits in the Hebraic renaissance of the day. His religious position rests essentially in the protest against the historic error which makes the salvation of the Christians depend on the rejection of Israel. His message is universal to Christians—a cal] to the understanding of their spiritual descent, and to Jews an exhortation to fidelity to their religious and cultural heritage. The lecture is given under the joint auspices of the following organizations: The Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, Congregation Beth El-Zedeck, the B'nal B'rith

and the Federation of Jewis Women’s Clubs. a a a C HRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT ANNOUNCED ‘‘God the Preserver of Man” Is the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Dec. 15.

The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health V/ith Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy. “God is the Life, or intelligence, which forms and preserves the individuality and identity of animals as well as of men” (p. 550), “The Divine Mind that made man maintains His ow r n image and likeness. . . , All that really exists is the Divine Mind and its idea, and in this Mind the entire being is found harmonious and eternal.” ana SUNDAY ORGAN RECITAL PLANNED The Rev.

It is a complete change for the better which takes place as a result of a Godly sorrow for sin, for wrong doing, for misspent time. It produces confession, amendment, restitution. It assures one of the pardon of God.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for I>ec. IS. The Golden Rule in the Work of the World. Deut. 21:14, 15: Eph. 5:5-9; 1 Tim. 6:17-19. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Con*regationliit THE Golden Rule is usually assosociated -with the teaching of Jesus, but it is interesting to see that in the first section of our lesson we go back a long distance beyond the teaching of Jesus, as Jesus himself went into the very heart and spirit of the Jewish law. In His clear enunciation of the Golden Rule ‘‘that men should do unto others as they would that others should do to them,” Jesus was expressing what to Him was the

sum and substance of the Mosaic law and the whole practical content of religion. Like ali the teaching of Jesus, it is a princip e emphasized in the very constitution of human life and in the nature of human relationships. What rule could be more natural or more thoroughly justified in its sanctions in reason and common sense than that where men have to live together each should act upon the principle and with the same spirit which he,expects to be manifest ip the action of others toward himself? “As ye would that men should do to you. do ye also to them likewise.” Any other principle of action Is manifestly selfish and unjust and unfair. We Can Not Ignore It The man who is not willing to live according to the principle of the Golden Rule is manifestly a robber. He is trying to take advantage of somebody else and is seeking to get from his fellow men something that does not belong to him. In subjecting other men to a treatment that he would resent himself he is to that extent showing himself not a man, but a brute. This seems all so clear and axiomatic that' it is strange that sensible men would recognize or uphold any other principle. The difficulty, or course, comes in in the effort to adapt the Golden Rule to life. Here we come into a word of privileged invested interests and the conserving of these things or the holding of what one has himself, no matter though he may have gotten it very dishonorably and dis- ! honestly, becomes of more importance than human decency and fairness. Even on the part of men who are in every sense desirous of being honorable and fair, it is not always easy to determine what it means to be just. Christianity in its profound emphasis upon the Golden Rule made its way in a world of such problems. One of the first discoveries was that in the Christian church there were masters and slaves. What should be the attitude of one toward the other? To have struck in that day superficially at the institution of slavery would have been futile; but what the Christian teachers did was to strike at the institution fundamentally by bringing to bear upon it the principle of love in human relationships. What should guide men in the difficult relationships of modern in-

PAGE 5

dustry? What may adequately guide them but the Golden Rule? The Golden Rule, it should be pointed out, is not a substitute for economic or organizational efficiency. There Is no magic in the Golden Rule to make a business a success that is not established upon common sense principles and effective management. The world of industry is not going to be transformed by sentiment, but by sentiment expressed in competency of action. But It must be generally recognized that industrial management and efficiency on the economic side have gone far in advance of spiritual efficiency. In fact, they have gone so far in advance that many of the wisest and best men in industry are beginning to wonder whether much of its pioblem* and difficulties do not arise from the fact that efficiency has been coni ceived too completely in terms of I profit seeking and too little in terms of the real human values and co- ; operations. I f is questionable whether we I shall ever attain to the sort of ini telligent co-operation and mutual service necessary for the highest efficiency until we more clearly recognize the Golden Rule both in theory and in practice. The Only Solution Nor is this true in industry alone. It relates to the whole field of modiem life and activity. How shall we abolish the extreme contrasts between rich and poor, between the comfortable and the distressed, between the intellectually privileged and the ignorant, between t.he fortunate and the disinherited? How. except by recognizing the validity and soundness of the Golden Rule and making that rule the basis of sane activity through study, co-operation and all the expert ways that the ingenuity of man can devise for solving the problems of human life. The Golden Rule as a mere sentiment will never solve them, but they will never be solved until men seek their solutions as God-created creators who intelligently go about rebuilding the world in the spirit and with the purpose of fulfilling the Golden Rule.
