Naxt to the Bible in the Jewish mind is the book of the law, the? Talmud, a book not of arid vetoes and lifeless rituals, but of mellow- lest wisdom coached. In tales and [parables, in sentences compact` of loving counsel and radiant with holiness. To those who think of the Jewish religion as stern and forbidding it is good to reflect on such an utterance as this: "Glv- ing is not the essential thing, but to give with delicacy of feeling.) Scripture does not say, 'Happy is he who giveth to the poor," bat! 'Happy is he who wisely consi- dereth the poor.' He who makes the sorrowful rejoice will partake of life everlasting." And again: "The Spirit of God abidoth not where there is either needless grieving, or inactivity; but only where there is joyful performance8 of duty."
