That religious Christians and religious Jews must seek a common ground to avoid a reversion to barbarism, was the assertion of Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman of Temple Israel, speaking at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church here.
“If Jews and Christians, if Catholics and Protestants keep on quareling among themselves, they may give an opportunity to the champions of the new barbarism who seek to uproot the Jewish-Christian standards and seek to plunge humanity back, not merely into the dark, but into the primitive ages,” he declared.
