Our reform rabhis living in a hollow world of echoes and shadows, away from the cruel arena of life's battle, weary of their verbal gymnastics a<ui transcendental c.iii^hcnicx have seized upon a huge balloon which they fatuously bt-liovc to bt- lidded with profound realism. This balloon is the gootl-will movement. They play around with it. They imagine thfv are juggling with worlds. They are tossing about containers of air. In real life the men who profess to be equally keen about the game are well protected with bristles-of prejudice and discrimination which puncture holes in their theoretical ballons.
\V> do not expect the millenium. It will be a long time before the lamb and the lion will share the same sleeping quarters. But in attempting a rapprochement between peoples of divergent types it must be borne in mind that there are certain characteristic and vital features which must be guarded, and kept as the last things to be surrendered. Religion and culture are among the treasured possessions and distinguishing marks of groups. In our quest of gmxJ understanding with other people we must bear in mind that there are certain things which we can never give up,� namely the bask qualities of our group personality. -

His aim w to please his congregation, but to instruct and to elevate it. H> rmued his studies.
He was a foe of sham and hypocrisy. He loved truth mop fame, and cherished his convictions. He never straddled issues. H' them. The Menorah group recognized his intellectual power am! him one of its leading spirits. Mtshkind believed in 'social justi< was one of the first to protest at the old and reactionary social programs of the conference of rabbis. The newer social justice pm of the conference, which have won wide recognition, are partial! to Mishkind's efforts. We could go on and on and list his abilit linguist, as preacher, as cotqmunal leader, but painful is every stroke < pen. In the Critical days that loom ahead for religious leaders, Ix of the attacks on religion by the new sciences, men who undn t.iru] both science and religion will be needed more than ever. Mtshkind knew both. The American rabbinate is impoverished by his passing. Mxv. of his colleagues could have been spared more readily.
