INDECENT SHOWS SCORED BY RABBI Bat Elimination Should Be Ef- Tected by Moral Force in Peoplel n-ligion is not something which .xists only on one day of the week, ' but is something which should be carried throughout the entire week, | according to Rabbi Morris Silver-| man of Hartford, who spoke at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at noo the Burritt hotel Rabbi Silve ligion and Life. took as his text two Biblical injunctions, “Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, Ete,” 1d “Thou shalt love thy Neighbor as Thyself.” No matter whether they call (tod or nature, the greatest sci tists believe in a supreme being, h said. He stated that a belief in God is cssential in religion and that the logical way to get into touch with the Supreme Being is by praver. | Although different groups use differ- | ont forms and ceremonies, all are | trving to get in touch with the same ing, he declared. The Rabbi said the take made by people today is that | looking upon religion as some- | it greatest mis- thing which concerns ftselt only in | prayer and Some people, he explained, think of God only in times of stress and calamity | ey meglect to connect religion | vith life. 4 Religion is assoclated with home by love, helpfulness, cheerful-| \ess and honor. It is connected with business through the opera- ions of honest and square deal, he added. “There I8 too much fraud and misrepresentation in politics,” he sald. “If you call a man a politl- cian you insult him. We will asso- ciate religion and statecraft when we vote intelligently and attract to the field of politics tha noble and | honest man.” ) “We should associate religion with charity. A great many people think they are charitable when they give & small pittance. Many people think that by giving generously to charity they can be crooked and im- moral. : g “Religion without learning is false | to God. We need religion in edu- cation: ' Education which leaves out religlon is dangerous. There are many educated people behind the bars. 5 “I do not advocate the teaching of creeds in schools, but the spirit of fnirness and’ reliability and be- list that a promise is something fo be kept sacred, should be ght in all schdols. Wants Clean Decent Amusements “There are many salacious and ohscene plays, especlally in Nes York. I am opposed to censorship of plays and movi 1t is a force from: without. They should be reg- ulated by the force from within. People get the plays they wan The producers are not interested in plays ‘bécause they are bad or in- decent, but because they pay. Lower standards of plays, especially the Led rooms scenes often leave noth- ing to the imagination. T am not opposed to realism on the stage but | they should leave something to the | imagination, something to which it | would be safe to take our wives and children. “We must emphasize clean and decent amusements. Entertain- | ment. should. have a tendency to elevate. Recreation should leave us physically improved and not nervous breakdowns. “One of the greatest tragedies of life is the feeling that religion is | concerned with only on> day a week. | It is- vitally- concerned with what | we do on the other six days. “A noble relationship between man: and. wife, employer and em- | ceremonies. the | ploye,. parent and child, will give us | 2 the religion that will b a hope and joy forever.” Miss Helen Hayes, executive sec- | retary of . the Young Women's Christtan. assoclation, spoke briefly | on the coming annual drive of the | “Y.
