piled In another What Is superluous
in one place is transferred to another.
The earth, the sun and the moon and
the stars. all the heavenly bodies all
present an orderly, harmonious ar
rangement, which beslGlks in loud ac-
cents the presence of the Creative Orig
inator and Preserver of such arrange
ment In the vast oceans and seas not
one drop OF water moves without eX-
erting an influence on It's nelghbor and
thus transferring its influence, moving
the ocean In liberal and not alone In
iigurative sense. 1t is all harmonious
corporation. whose results far exceed
what one would ordinarily expect.
THE Jewish social question thus be-
comes more ready OF solution than its
mother question, the Social Problem of
the day, just as any part Of a prob
lem may be more easily solved than the
problem In Its entirety. The solution
lies in the direction thus pointed out.
The answer must be worked out along
the lines here suggested, | am aware
that | remarked a few moments ago
that 40 adequate remedy for the social
problem OF to-day has yet been pre-
scented, and | repeat and emphasize 1t
now. But In certain lines partial rem
edies have been suggested, and put 90
practical tests with good results. These
remedies have, however, all been in the
sphere Of cooperation, In the realm
where It Is possible to secure har-
monlous working OF community of
individuals Clnclnnatl's most success
full business firm is one based on the
cooperative plan as likewise the lead
Ing firm Of Paris Il all comes back to
the same point that men seem to be
built, II l may so put Il, for mutual aid
and protection. The old Attic Philos-
ophy of France, after study of hui
mankind, wrote the results OF his study
as follows; What a wonderful order
there Is In all the human labor, while
the husbandman burrows his land and
prepares for every one his daily bread
the town artisan far away weaves the
stuff In which he Is to be clothed; the
miner seeks underground the Iron for
his pillow; the soldier defends him
against the invader; the judge takes
care that the law protects his fields;the
tax comptroller adjusts his interests
with those OF the public; the merchant
occupies himself In exchanging his
products with those of different coun-
tries; the men of science and of art add
every day few horses to this ideal
team which draws along the material
world, Thus all unite together, all help
one another, The toll of each one benz
etts himself and all the world. Tie
work has been apportioned among the
different members Of the whole society
by tacit agreement. The poorest
man included In this association has his
place his work, his reason for being
there. Each Is something In the whole.
Souveatre called his work the journal
of happy man and certainly his phil
osopher saw the world at It's brightest,
Exactly similar should be and can be,
every community, What one does may
be for all, II We desire. We can labor
for ourselves without harmlng others.
We can labor for others without harm
ing ourselves. Each one has his place
and his work. There must be no clash
ing. There ought to be no dlscord.
Such would be an ideal and vet per-
fectly practical community, 1t would be
a realization of Bacon's thought that
he had no island cut off from other
lands, but a continent that joins to
them Such would be a realization of
the significance which this evening be-
speaks, Go be atoued with one another.
Thus to atone would mean heart and
soul work. Thus to live would be true
life. Thus to labor would be to be con-
tent and happy under the influence and
guidance of Hin on high, the Father
of all mankind"
