study Of the law and to the pursuit Of
wisdom, and he made a solemn VOW that
he would give himself no rest until he
would be as honored as any of the great
men in Israel. From that time he and
his son were constantly to be found at
the seminaries Of learning, where they
learned together the rudimentary bran
ches of religious knowledge from the
wise men who studied there. In abiect
poverty did he and his family live for
long time, for the daughter of the veal
thy man, who had sworn to become his
wife, and who had fulfilled her oath, was
banished from her fathers house, be-
cause he was angry at her for having
married the man who tended his focks,
and he had sworn that he would never
give her a crust of bread When the
wise man had already grasped the neces-
sary rudimentary knowledge, he left the
seminary and went to the city of Yabna,
which contained in those days numerous
sages and scribes; there was the seat
Of the seventy-one prominent rabbis in
Israel, and there was the largest and
the most prominent university in the
land. To that learned city did Rabbi
Akiba go, there to quench his thirst for
the words Of the living God, at the feet
Of the teachers of the law Twenty -four
years did he remain in this seat of learn
iwg and meditated in Gods law by day
and by night, until the spirit of Gods
wisdom and understanding rested upon
him, and he became so familiar with all
the secrets Of the Divine law, that none
of lsrael's sages could equal him. After
the death of Raban Gamliel he was
unanimously elected by the whole col
lege of rabbis as the spiritual head of
the city of Barocah, situated within the
territory belonging to the tribe of Dan.
Many scholars focked to him from all
corners of the earth in order to learn
his wisdom, and in a very short
time their number amounted to twenty
four thousand, all of them men of great
ability and promise. This was his re-
ward for the labor he had done during
twenty-four years, and for his constant
study. Every difficult question that oc-
cured was referred to him by the wise
men of his generation; every disputeinre-
ligion or law, knowledge or science, was
brought before him, and his decisions
upon any and every question were like
those of an oracle. His fame and name
waxed greater from day to day, until the
greatest Of the sages believed that he
was as competent to receive the law
from Mount Sinai as Moses the servant
Of God himself

Papus turned to him and replied; |

would then no longer carry this box upon
my shoulders and travel from place to
place for our lord and emperor Hadrian

elixir an eternal goyernorship."

will give you such an elixir, and [ want
no pay FOR doing 50! This drug IS not to
be found in the pharmacies Of Gilead
nor in the repositories Of Rome, but
only in the book of the sweet psalmist of
Israel:* it is: Who is the man that de
sireth life and loveth many days that he
may see good. Keep thy tongue from
all evil and thy lips from speaking false
hood.+ But there is no one who cares
for this precious elixir, and your mouth
demonstrates that you also are inditfer-
ent to it.
Papus looked at the man scrutinizing
" and recognized him, when he replied:
Have you forgotten that the greatest
of men and the wisest of kings decreed
in his wisdom that there was a season
for silence and a season for speech?+ |
also speak my words in their proper time
and place, as becomes a vender OF per

ever, that my mouth utters before the
assembled throngs are not intended to
deceive any one, but onl Y to improve my
oritorial Abilities Our Roman poets
say that witticisms and epigrams are as
necessary to the conversation of an in
telligent man as condiments and salt are
to food. You should know that it be-
comes a man like me to be cheerful and
merry; it appertalns to my profession to
make many and witty remarks, in order
that [ may quickly dispose of my per-
fumes. But to you, . wise man and
profound sage, it is befitting to accumu-
late divine sayings in order that you may
be enabled to gather pecuniary assist

who constantly mediate in Gods law.

my tongue, for you we'll know how [ am
always ready to assist you in your en-
deavors to ameliOrate the condition OF
Israel's learned men, and that | earnestly
desire to further your plans. [ will also
inform you that [ distributed the money
you sent through me for the poor jew
ish students residing in the cities of
Bethlehem and Zipori 1t is impossible
for me to describe their great joy and
the many thanks and blessings they be-
slowed upon you for the favors which
you are always showing them. Here are
the official documents from leading men
Of the congregations, wherein they GER
tify that they received from me the
sums Of money which you have sent
through my hands," With these words
he took from his purse small scroll and
handed it to the sage. The rabbi, know
ing we'll that he had never sent any mo-
ney through this perfume vender, under
stood from his words that the scroll con-
tanned some important secret, so he said:
" Many thanks to you, Papus, for your
kind labors; please follow me to my resi-
dence, and Nllll aiseev SOIL sseme money
which [ have collected for my pupils
who reside in the city Barocah.
They walked together until they en-
tered small chamber, when the rabbi
locked the door and read the scroll. He
was greatly astonished when he saw that
the note was written by Shimeon Bar
Cochba, and contained the following
words: "Shimeon sends his salutation to
his master and teacher Rabbi Akiba,
through the man who delivers this same
scroll.
According to what | see, said Rabbi
Akiba to Papus, you have been sent to
me by Shimeon Bar Cochba, and there
fore I pray you to inform me of every
thing which Shimeon told you to com
municate to me; but you must speak
quietly, for walls have ears and though
am not afraid for myself, [ fear lest
we should spoil our plans by letting
them be known too soon. You will
therefore better write upon this scroll
everything that Shimeon told you, and
all the news that you may know"
Papus remained silent for few sec
onds, when he said: Il fear that could
not make my meaning plain, if was to
put the matters entrusted to me in writ
ing" But Rabbi Akiba understood that
this was merely an excuse, so he said to
him: Il admire your carefulness, and
happy is the man who is always careful,
but in the present case there is no need
for you to fear, for solemnly y promise
that | will burn the scroll Immediately
after reading the words which you will
write upon it,
MY venerable master, your command
is sacred to me-" replied Papus. He
then seated himself by table and wrote
these words: The Jews who dwell in
Bethar have united with the intention

of removing the Roman yoke from them
selves, and they all faithfully believe
that Shimeon Bar Cochba is the messiah
of the Lord, and that Judah will in his
days be redeemed and Gods temple
rebuilt. All the wise men and teachers
of the law believe in him and in his won
derful mission, and they all aid him with
their utmost ability, might and power
Secret messengers have been sent by
Bar Cochba to the thousand of Israelites
dwelling in Alexandria and in Zpori, tC
exhort them to rise against the Romans
at an appointed day. The eyes Of all Is
rael are now upon you, who are known
to be holy man and Jealous worker
in behalf of God and his law They eX-
pect you to visit our brethren who dwell
in Africa, beyond the Ethiopic ocean,
and who are exiled in the lands Of Gallia
and Sinim, and to exhort them to arm
and prepare in order to assist us in our
battles"
When Rabbi Akiba read these words,
his face became flushed like that of a
pleased child; his delight and pleasure
issparkled from his beaming eye, and his
whole appearance manifested gratifica-
ton which this news afforded him. In
the Joy of his heart he took pen and
wrote the following upon scroll: Here
with [ pledge my sincerost friendship to
my friend and to Israel's we'll wisher: [
will help you with all my power and
might, if I will only become convinced
that you are really the messenger of the
Lord of hosts, and that you work at his
command. .
Papus took this croll from Rabbi Abi-
ba, saluted him humbly and reverentially
and left his house

Like the ancient prophet, moreover, he

According to an old tradition he was
