Rosh Hashonah and Yon Kippur services by the new community synagogue were held in the Wilshier Ebbell auditorium. "By the term free pulpit ” Rabbi \\ ink ier explained, "I mean that the rabbi or minister should be absolutely free in his utterances by virtue of his ordination. I shall not be a hired man. Mv ministry assumes a voluntary character—the ser mon must be the product of an unshackled mind from its inception to its crystalliza tion. By the free pew, I mean that the people who belong to my church will be free from obligatory taxation—all money contributed will be by free offering. My church will he literally a ‘good will’ syna gogue. I will preach fellowship between Jew and Jew and between Jew and Gen tile.” Speaking of his fundamental religious views, Rabbi Walker said: "I did not change my religious views. I am an exponent of traditional Judaism. The rites and traditions and symbols can not he discarded. Rather they should he presented to the modern mind in an in telligent and understandable way—if necessary those fundamental values of Judaism can stand a reinterpretation and revaluation. The God of yesterday must he interpreted to the man of today in terms of today.” New York.—A model Jewish com munity of 160 families, which will have its own school where both secular and Hebrew subjects will be taught and which will establish a health center for Jewish children, will he founded shortly on Silver Lake Gardens, Staten Island.
