Excerpt from The Cry of Our Board School Children: A Sermon Preached at the St. John's Wood Synagogue, on Sabbath, December 1st, 1894 My dear brethren, Think you that I have come to you to-day to utter mere rhetorical flourishes 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.
