dark ages, their enforced seclusion was
their salvation as a race. In 1349 the
gravest charge was laid against the
Jews when they were accused of caus-
ing the black plague by poisoning the
wells. That fewer of them died from
the plague than of other peoples
strengthened the belief, and thousands
of the Jews were killed for not dying of
the plague.
The speaker held that the prejudice
that impelled the Jews to seclude them
selves had developed their peculiar re-
ligious faith, stimulated domestic af-
lection, and brought out the character
istics which have persisted as distinc-
lively racial traits; that opposition had
given them cunning and made them
better able to endure when in more
open and less unfriendly competition
with other peoples.
In connection with an account of the
discovery of America by Columbus, an
expedition which he said had been
financed by Jews, the speaker announc-
ed more important discovery had been
made-that of tobacco. He told story
of a young Jew who had been repri-
manded for smoking a cigar after
Sabbath feast, in defiance OF the law
against kindling any fire on the Sab
bath and who retOrted that this regula-
ton might form part of the laws of
Moses, but Moses didn't know anything
about cigars.
The relations of the Jews to the
11pbuilding of America was further
touched upon. Many Jewish refugees
from Spain, he said, had found homes in
Amsterdam and other cities of Holland,
the country where all seekers for liber-
ty from persecution found sympathy.
They had been stockholders, many OF
them. in the West Indian company, and
helped to develop the commerce of the
western hemisphere.
The lecturer then gave descriptions of
many of the noted Ghettos of the old
world, the places in which the Jews.
driven into seclusion by persecution
and adverse prejudice had kept
alive their traditions, and perpetuated
their race distinct and separate from
alien blood.
The Roman Ghetto, comprising two
narrow streets on the left bank of the
Tiber, was said to be divided into two
parts. Here the people were subjected
to many restrictions. While their NUM-
bers grew their territory did not, and
they were bound by rigid laws. One
was that they should have no funeral
professions and no inscriptions on their
tombstones. The latter, the speaker
said. doubtless saved a great deal OF
lying.

was concerned. Charles Munday, a He
brew, met and loved her, and pressed
his suit in defiance of the unsmiling ia
ces of her family and her friends plain
disapprOval, and she was married to
him. After the marriage the attitude
Of her friends did not change, nor did
they cease to impress upon her at every
opportunity that she had wronged her
church by wedding one whom her faith
placed in outer darkness.
When her husband had gone today
she seated herself in her room and call
ed her three little ones around her.
While they stood there in awed silence
she muttered prayers, with her eyes
closed. Then she gave the eldest child
some money and sent her to a store for
kerosene.
When the child returned the mother
was still seated, whispering her prayers
with dry lips. She took the oil and pour
ed it over her gown as though anOint-

looked on in Silence, with wide opened
eyes Still praying in broken whispers,
the woman saturated her skirts with
the oil. Then she struck a match and
touched it to the hem of her dress. In
stantly the flames leaped up and the
children fed screaming. The neighbOrs,
startled by the cries of the children,
came running from above and below
and burst into the room. The woman
was raving in the midst of the flames.
She was caught and flung to the floor
and wrapped in blankets. Policemen
Pape heard the commOtion and dashed
into the house in time to assist in
smothering the blaze.
There was little left of the image of a
woman in the sufferer, but she was car
ried tenderly to the Harlem hospital
in an ambulance. The doctors used all
their skill to allay the pain, though she
was almost beyond feeling any. They
said there was no hope that she could
recover.

Mr.. Zangwiu gave the derivation or
the word Ghetto as coming from the
Italian word "ghetta,' the name Of a
cannon foundry near which the first
ghetto in Italy was established.
The ghetto at Frankfort, in which the
the Rothschilds was born, was de-
scribed. There the houses were all
marked by insignia indicating the faIni-
ly dwelling Within-a sort of family
crest. That of this particular family
was a red shield-the word Rothschild
meaning red shield.
The laws among the Jews in the
GhettOs of central Europe, prohibiting
the marriage of any but the eldest son
in any household, were given as one OF
the chief causes for the great influx OF
Jews to America.
To illustrate the statement that Jews
are not all alike, or "a dead level as
he expressed it, among themselves, Mr..
ZangWiu recOunted the fact that
among Jewish religious thinkers there
are schools as sharply divided as were
the Pharisees and Sadducees, ana
which maintain separate forms Of Wor-
ship and advocate different policies for
the future Of the race. He also told
many stories illustrating the fact that
the Jew has an appreciation Of humor
and ready wit.
