Expressing a sentiment of
agreeableness at finding an at
mosphere of liberalism at the
University of North Carolina in
keeping with his lectures Dr
Edwin L. Israel, Har Sini Tem
ple, Baltimore Maryland, gave
lectures Sunday night and Mon
day night on modern scholarly
interpretations of the book of
Ecclesiastes and the prophetical
writers of the old Testament. In
response to the views of Rabbi
Israel, which he fluently express
ed to large crowds, many people
who heard him acclaimed his
merit in glowing term's.
Speaking on the book of Ec
clesiastes Sunday night Dr. Is
rael said that the book had a
hard time getting in the Bible
because of its skeptical philoso
phy. He stated that it was ac
cepted only because Solomon
was ascribed, though untruly, as
its ' author. He described the
book as being full of the skep
ticism and modernism that is
characteristic of every age. "A
certain amount is absolutely nec
essary to every real religion, and
no true religious faith is afraid
of skepticism or intellectual ag
nosticism." 'Speaking on the Hebrew pro
phets Rabbi Israel showed how
the prophets of the people of
Palestine were great proclaimers
of moral and religious rights of
the people during their time
rather than-foretellers of com
ing events. He took Amos whose
teachings crystallized the reli-:
gious thought of prophet ideal
ists and compared the denuncia
tion of ceremonial religion and
unjust economic conditions of
the old prophet to his own de
nunciation dissimilar conditions
that exist today. He showed that
the prophetic messages of these
men, though spoken . for their
own people, are applicable to the
cause of human rights in Amer
ica at the present time.
In clearing up a few miscon
ceptions Dr. Israel expressed
close sympathy for the "wonder
ful mission of love that Jesus
promoted.'
Dr. Israel applied the mes
sage of the prephetic religion
to business life. Economic con
ditions must dovetail with moral
issues, he said. Property and
property rights are secondary to
human rights. No mill can turn
blood of little children into prof
its. This world is one for men
to enjoy and not to exploit.
America has a great moral obli
gationnot to drive things down
the throats of . other nations
but so to life in a magnanimous
spirit of true American democ
racy that other peoples may feel
we are indeed a religious people.
Dr. Israel rapped the cheap
ening of God as is done in
churches by mere ceremonies.
"Not by the performance of
forms and ceremonies does man
worship his God," he said, "but
by square dealing, righteousness,
justice and mercy."

DEAN PATTERSON
RECEIVES DEGREE
University of Georgia Confers
Doctor of Science on Uni
versity Professor. "'
Miss Kinscella to
Hold Demonstration
Here on Thursday
Thursday afternoon Miss Kin
scella's classes will give a dem
onstration in the high school
building. Students of this meth
od from Durham and Chapel Hill
will give the demonstration to
the public.
It is interesting to know that
Miss Kinseella's engagement at
the, University during the first
two weeks of SummerSchool is
her only Southern engagement
during the year. Miss Kinscella
is instructor of music in the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Eight years
ago, she invented the method of
teaching groups of ten rather
than the individual, and this
method has been named for her.
She first tried it out in Lincoln,
Nebraska., From there it has
spread rapidly. Her method of
instruction decreases the cost
and gives many who would not
have been able otherwise the op
portunity of studying music.
The summer class has had an
enrollment of thirty-seven teach
ers. ,

University of North Carolina
faculty last week when Andrew
Henrv Patterson, Dean of

Ga., to receive the honorary de
gree of Doctor of Science from

faculty for 14 years before he
joined the faculty here, and it
is in recognition of his achieve
ments before and since leaving
Georgia that the doctor's degree
is being conferred on him there,
pro honora causa. -
The Dean, who was born in
Winston-Salem, September 28,
1870, is a graduate of the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He
received the degrees of Ph. B.
and B. E. with the class of 1891.

where he received his A. B. in
1892, and his A! M. in 1893.
Upon leaving Harvard he
served as electrician for the Con
solidated Traction Company, of
Jersey City, N. J., from 1893 to
1894., At that time he went to
Athens to become instructor of
physics in the , University of
Georgia. He held an instructor
ship . until 1897 when he was
promoted to an adjutant-professorship,
and in 1898 he became
a full professor.
