IHH fot-.®obaj> MM
bfoasigaor Ronald Knox’s translation of the Scrip
teres has given anew charm to aiaoy texta which
were already powerful, hot row become af or get able
both in their substantial^contest and in.their at
tractive outward form. * *
One such text is the 18th verge of the 3rd chapter
of St. John’s first Epiatle: "My little children, let
• s show our love by the trie test of sc doe, not by
caking phrases on our lips.**
This text appeals to me because it says briefly aod
with calm, Christian restraint something .chat we are
constantly tempted to say in my more strong terms.
So many people pay lip service to the principles of
Christian morality and civilization. There is no re
nowned orator but what he can ring the changes of
the social, political and cultural values which have
flowered out of the Christian revelation. An appalling
amount of the rhetoric devoted to the praise of tradi
tional Christian values is mere talk, "taking phrases
on our lips.’*
St. John points on succinctly sad without frills
how offensive to the true Christian adders can ding of
things such lip service really ia. If we love Gdd, we
will not talk abost it but will act in n manner con
sistent with out love. If we-love onr neighbor, we
will not make speeches about it, bnt will provide "the
true test of action'* as the proof of onr inward love/
I particularly like the way that this text begins
with the salutation *’My little children.” St. John was
of course, addressing adults, not infants, sad he
spoke ass kindly spiritual father tp hia children ia
the Faith without reference to their years. The
phrase suggests to me, however, that this message
is pameutady appropriate for the young people of
our day. We cannot begin tab early in life to lean
how cheap mere words can be and how important it
is chat the "phrases on our lips” be made good by
the "true test of action.”
Whether we be chijdren in years or, as nose of us
are, children in our grasp of God’s Will aod of the
eternal verities, there is an important lesson for
us all in these simple, homely, practical words of
the P ' —d Disciple.

“Golden Age” For Judaism
In UJS. Predicted By Rabbis
y GEORGE W. CORNELL
NEW YORK UP—Judaism in
America was pictured today as on
the verge of anew “golden age.”
Leading rabbit said this trend
already hat made the United
States the largest center of the
faith in the world.
And they reported:
1. A growing religious resur
gence in synagogues across the
land.
2. Rapid expansion in religious
schools, libraries, seminaries, and
Jewish fraternal and benevolent
organizations.
3. A broad, reawakened interest
in Jewish religious insights and
scholarship.
“Not even Israel is the bulwark
of our faith today as is the United
States,” said Rabbi Joseph Rauch,
of Louisville, Ky.
He and other leaders were here
for a series of services, ceremo
nies and meetings centred on the
1954 celebration of thv 300th an
niversary of America s first Jew
ish settlement.
Recalling conditions which
sparked a great flowering of Ju
daism in medieval times. Rabbi
Solomon E. Starels, of Savannah,
Ga„ said:
“The fourth century of Jewish
life in the United States may prove
to be another golden age of Jewish
civilization.”
He and Rabbi Rauch, among the
ministers of the 14 oldest Jewish
congregations in the land who
will be honored here tomorrow
night, delivered sermons at local
temples today.
It required several centuries for
the medieval “golden age” of
Jewish life to emerge, In
century Spain. Rabbi Starrels
said, adding:
“It would look as if in the past
300 yeqrs on these shores we have
been going through a similaP pro
cess of development and growth.”
He noted the increase and af
fluence of Jewish cultural institu
tions, the expanding libraries.
