HEBREW LEADER GIVES MESSAGE ON TOLERANCE Joint Meeting of Congregational Woman's Society and Jewish Sisterhood Hears Dr. Freehof When Gentile and Jew meet across a friendly table in the Community House, the occasion is bound to be in- spiring. When Rabbi Solomon Free- hof addresses such a gathering, it is certain to be notable and thought-com- pelling. Such was the joint luncheon meeting held Wednesday, January 5. It was a large and inspiring group of the Woman's Society of the Congre- gational church, and the Jewish Sis- terhood. Dr. Freehof was generously intro- duced by the Rev. James A. Richards as a representative Jewish leader, em- inently qualified to discuss "I'he Basis of Religious Tolerance." Dr. Freehof introduced his thesis by denouncing the phrase "religious tolerance" as unpalat- able. He called it "the rose-water rhetoric of pseudo-liberals." This is because the more religious people are, and the more intense they are about their own faith, the more intolerant they are of others. The most liberal persons are likely to be the least re- ligious. He developed his theme by pointing out the great intolerances of history during three important epochs. The Roman era was the time of greatest religious liberalism, he said. Their ideals were nationalistic and their aim was political unity. They were least religious and therefore most tolerant of religious differences. But they per- secuted and hated any people who had independent political views. Middle Ages Intolerant The Middle Ages was the great era! of faith, Dr. Freehof declared. People were martyred for differences in re- ligious thinking, in the name of divine faith. It was the time of greatest re- ligious intolerance, because people were most intense about their faith. But economic differences were liber- ally considered. Rich and poor. were alike. Today, the soviet government is most intolerant of economic differences and indifferent to political views. So each age has had its tolerances and intolerances. Religion has not been the sole scszce of persecution. But inevitably there 'are certain ten- dencies in the human heart, that make for intolerance. If we evaluate our own prejudices, we can arrive at a bet- ter understanding of our present age. We find that those things which do not touch us or concern us, are the things about which we are most liberal. Must Foster Tolerance Now Our own age, the speaker asserted, more than any other is censured for its moral uncertainties and its anaemic religious life. But the opportunity of the age is that now is the time to sow the seed of tolerance, when we are most vague about our moralities, and most wavering about religion. Always there are a few people who express the spirit of their day. The great administrator was the Roman hero. The saint, the great believer, was the ideal of the middle ages The per- sonality of our time will be the man of understanding and patient tolerance. When we produce this type of man, we will have served the world by our very uncertainty and hesitation. Miss Dorothy Reach, daughter of the Benjamin Reaches of 844 Prospect ave- nue, will return within a day or two to the Ely school at Greenwich, Conn. During the holidays, the school most unfortunately burned down, but tem- porary buildings have been procured.
