he helpmate of the state" continued Dr.
Nito. IN the history Of our own people
we find that the civil law came first, the
religious next. The religious knowedge
instilled into he minds of the people taught
them and trained Them to become useful
to their country. useful 10 society, useful
to themselves
1.-The main fact that should be impressed
upon citizens Is that in country where
there is good republican form of govern
ment there should exist no such thing as a
religious test; that no religious sect should
sway the scepter OF power in any State or
In any department of the Government;
that mans religious opinions should be-
no bar to him under any circumstances
All should remain free and unsectarian,
and the idea promulgated among the
people of liberty OF thought and liberty of
conscience.
we Jews are ever faithful to the
country Of our adoption, to the land which
grants US protection and liberty to make
our ways by means of our own energy
We are deeply interested in the welfare Of
America, and are ready at all times To
sacr1hce our own interests for the good of
the country which does so much for US.
persecution has taught US what we owe to
the land in which We live, free and un-
trammeled by Ubiquitous legislation.
In conclusion, when the church shall
recognize IFS social duties, when IL shall
not only preach dogma and doctrine and
religious principle but shall take a deep
Interest In the social welfare of the people
who appear within its portals, at that
time viii begin to dawn The era when we
may expect 10 behold a republic which
shall De noble, pure and good, when
might and ruth aud love shall dwell
