THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
the temple, four non-Jewish ministers of
Atlanta voiced a desire to work in harmony
with the congregation as neighbors. Dr.
J. Sprole Lyons, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, declared that he learned
early in life what good neighbors Hebrews
are. Dr. Lyons told of his pleasure over
entertaining the congregation of the tem
ple at his own church on their holy days
while the building was under construction.
Dr. Robert W. Burns, of the Peachtree
Christian church, brought fraternal re
gards to Dr. Marx from his personal asso
ciate of many years, Dr. L. 0. Bricker,
founder of the Peachtree Christian church.
Dr. Burns made the point that Peachtree
street was not a highway of separation,
but a road traveled by men and a road
which will bring the congregations closer
together and help progress. The time has
come to build highways over old preju
dices so men will get nearer to each other,
Dr. Burns said.
Dr. W. E. McElveen, pastor of the Con
gregational Christian church, hailed by
Dr. Marx as a brother in a great fight
for the cure of the disease of unemploy
ment, and in the fight for purity, temper
ance, the outlawing of war and the elimi
nation of poverty. “Christians need Jews,
and Jews need Christians,” Dr. McElveen
said. “I hail my fellow workers in estab
lishing the kingdom of God.” Dr. Aubrey
F. Hess, pastor of the Liberal Christian
church, reviewed the part of Jews in his
tory making and pointed out that the Bible
is a product of Judaism.

this is a nation that has drawn into

must have something to contribute. L
Solomon told the story of the househ* 0 f
Israel, a separate and distinct stock,

The cherubim guarding the Ark of the temple, replicas of the one
m the Temple of Solomon, are symbols to which biblical, rabbinica
and apocryphal data attach varied significance.
The prophet Ezekiel describes the cherubim as a tetrad of livint
creatures, each having four faces—of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and <
man—the stature and hands of a man, the feet of a calf ' and fou
wings. Two of the wings extended upward, meeting above and sus
taming the throne of God; while the other two stretched downwan
and covered the creatures themselves. In the early days of Israel’
history, the chemibim became the divine chariot, the bearer of th*
throne of God. * 1
In apociyphal literature, the cherubim were the first objects createi
m the universe. One source gives that they represent in the tempi
the two supreme attributes of God, goodness and authonty
