Some Isms of To-Day (Classic Reprint) / Joseph Krauskopf

Jama of SJ aI EGOISM. A SUNDAY DISCOURSE BBFORB THE REFORM CONGREGATION KENBSETH ISRAEL, BY RABBI JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF. D. D. Philadelphia, Feb. aist, iqo4. Text: As he thinketh in his heart, so is he. PROVBRBS xxxni, 7. SCRIPTURAL LESSON :EXODUS, xxxn. Few stories in the Bible are more beautiful than the one we have read this morning. One is at a loss to tell what to admire the most, whether its poetry, or its dar Mo868, hold on hl, ing, or its moral. I ts hero, pleading and argupeople due to uning with God in behalf of his rebellious people, 8elfishne -wholly unmindful of the personal advantage held out to him, so aroused the poetic fire of Heine as to move him to say, that, on that mountain-top, God seemed but a reflection of the greatness of Moses. I quite forgive the poet his seeming blasphemy, for I quite share his admiration of Moses. And I believe that the two of us but echo the admiration evinced by the original writer of this episode. I do not for one moment think that the bard, who first conceived this story, meant his hearers to believe that he was describing an actual scene between God and Moses.
