ABSENCE.



When you have gone, and am left alone,
Voiceless and blind. beside your empty
throne,
To worship there in mute idolatry
Only sweet memories you have left for me,
/ shall not want for sight to draw me near,
Nor words to sing of all my heart holds
dear -l,at
When you have gone. 81
For You have gone not from your throne
afar.
Into the world where doubts and dangers
are, TAN
But Just descended from statelier grace
Into the safety Of my firm embrace
That holds you nearer, dearer to the heart
Rejoicing in the power of It's part ~
When you are gone.
Though you have gone, the fragrance and
the thrill Tn
OF your fair presence swiftly stir my will
To weave crown of rare fidelity
For the glad faith that hurries back 10 me-
And am kneeling proudly in the dust
Holding aloft what seems holier trust
When you have gone.

OF ii love YOU"
The fiery blossoms kindIe and glow
Ger my heart tonight
And watt little love-gleams with rhymthic

And sweet delight.
These red-rose geraniums, darklng and

Were favorite blooms;
Old love tales, twice told, old treasure days

Spent meath fair August's moons.
All over. and only the memories left,
And the cheer the geranium throws:

concluded From Last Week.
or course there are some wealthy Jews in Europe,
but they have done magnificent work with their
money. Mark the striking characteristics of the rep
resentative Jewish millionaire of Europe, Baron
Rothschild, and one of the representative Christian
millionaires of America like Gould, and Won will
easily find out that, while one distributes a yearly
charity of 100, 900 francs among the poor, no mat
ter to what nationally or creed they belong, the
other lately caused the death of his own brother, who
died in poverty and whose family has now to meet
the fierce wolf at their door. This is not only the
case with the Rothschilds alone, but with the remain
ing few millionaires also, for we are all more or less
acquainted with the philanthropy of the grand bene-
factor of his race, Sir Moses Montefore. He was so
well known for his benevolence that on the hundredth
anniversary of his birth (1884) he received the hom-
age of the whole civilized world; and it was he who
first suggested the scheme of rescuing his prosecuted
brethren and forming them in well managed colo
mics in various countries. His scheme was ably sec
onded by his successor in benevolence, the late Baron
de Hirsch, whose charity was on a scale unprece-
denied in the annals of philanthropy, for he gave
SIS, 600, 600 for the relief of his outcast co.religion-
lists, and even now the widow Of the deceased Baron
is distributing a great deal of charity all over the
world.
The mere enumeration of the Jewish philanthro-
pists and the grand tasks they have performed would
require a volume in itself.
Again, the Jews are often blamed for their fond

IT has long been known that there is in England
almost an entire absence of prejudice agains the Jews.
For our co-religionists in that country it must also
be said that they themselves exhibit a liberality of
views unknown on this side of the water.
Mr.. w. Ashe Payne, a Christian, who died in Lon
don last month, had for twenty-five years been head
master of the Stepney Jewish schools, probably the
largest of the kind in the world. He did much to
create a friendly feeling between the Jews and Chris
tians of the East End Of London. Mr.. Payne regu-
Iarly attended the Channukah services at the East
End Synagogue with his pupils, and would travel

miles to be present at the Bar Mitzvah of one of his

it was often remarked, had he chose to do so, that
he could have done more than any one man to con-
troll the Jewish vote Of Stepney.

IF the clash of arms must come, the Jews will be
found ready to do their duty. AS Americans, whether
native or by adoption, they will stand by the flag
that knows no difference of faith, while as Jews they
will be urged on by the memories of the Inquisition,
the creak of whose wheel and the roar of whose fires
still break upon the ear and forbid any affection
for the land of the hidalgos.''
The above is from the American Hebrew, of New
York, which is conceded to be the leading conserva-
tive Jewish paper in this country. It is edited not by
an individual, but by a board of editors, and it's
utterances are weighed accordingly. During the past
week many of the Jewish journals in various sections
have voiced the same sentiment.
Several weeks ago, when we gave utterance to a
similar idea, severe condemnation was expressed on
many sides, one gentleman going SO far as to say
that in doing SO we indirectly mpugned the motive
Of every Jewish young man who might tender his
services to his country in the event of war.
We thought then, and still think, that any Jew
who found additional zest in opposing the perpetra-
tors of the Inquisition would be only human and no
less an American by virtue of that fact.
