pleasing INCIDENTS in
Jacob Moroecat's Life.
To the Editor of The Jewish South ;:


experienced much qualification in perusing in
your valuable paper Of the 18th of March sketch
of the life of my old and revered friend Mr. Jacob
Mordecai, which read before the Jewish Histori-
cal Society at it's last annual meeting formed the
acquaintance of Mr. Mordecai in 1884, soon after
locating in Richmond Va and well recall to
mind his slvery locks, whilst was comparatively
young man. At that time the Jewish population
very small-but one synagogue, the Congrega-
tion Beth Shaome worshipng Mayo above
Franklin street. Mr. Mordecai was the Parnass,
and not having Hazan he read the services Sab
baths and Holy days, until the Rev. Abram H. Cohen
elected to fill that position, and l became the
secretary.
Mr.. Mordecai was always much admired on ac-
count Of his brilliant intellect, being well versed in
Biblical research the Hebrew language and it's liter
allure; in fact, he considered authority many
questions pertaining to Judaism and Biblical inter
pretations | always found him very genial in his
department. and became much attached to
each other that felt it pleasure to visit his home
Church Hill on Sabbath afternoons and this be-
came one of my weekly resorts. 1t is evident that
Mr.. Mordecai must have been a profound scholar,
from the fact of the amount OF manuscripts it is
said he left after his death and which trust may be
placed in the hands of competent person for exam
nstion and preservation
About the year 1884 the Rev Isaac Lesser, then
I1dZdH ol the MlcKVd 1SIdel congregations at THlld
delphia had written and published work entitled
"The Jews and the Mosaic Law" In that work
noted that reference to sentence contained in the
Second Commandment of the Decalogue, viz, For
l the Eternal, thy Cod am watchful God' that
Mr.. Lesser has appended the following note: ut is
but jus tce to say that am indebted to Mr. Jacob
Mordecai of Richmond, Va, for this remark: 1T is
really astonishing with how much avdity every diff
fcult passage nay, every obscure word in the whole
Bible is seized by inhdels and explained by them in
such manner to make it's meaning absurd, and
thus they attempt to defend their indelity, saying
they cannot believe such nonsense they pretend to

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

say they have met with in the Holy Scriptures A
stranger instance hardly found than the assertion
that according to the Jewish Bible, God is a Vindic-
tive Being. God pardon for penning this bias
phemy And where do they find this? In the Deca-
logue, they say where it says He jealous God "
But il may venture opinion, would explain the
word Mp 7N in the following manner: The Israel
ties had the goodness of God manifested to them
since Moses was first sent to them, and though
they had already shown themselves dissatisfied
several occasions vet they had never been punished
unless we consider the attack Of Amalake as pun
ishment But now God told them what was their
duty, and that it was obligatory upon them to do
what they swere certified to be right, and as they
now knew VIII God considered right, they should
be punished for transgressng the precepts of the law
or in other words, for doing wrong And therefore
did God continue: Il Ell Kama" God, who am
watchul and remembering all that happens, and
therefore ready to punish where punishment is due
If this explanation is correct, it follows that God
according to Bible is not vindictive Being, but
just Judge, who such Furnishes all sins against
His WILL because they offences against the stand
ard of right. But does not the Hebrew word Kama
always mean jealous in it's common acceptation !?
No, for find in Numbers xvii, IMP m 1N3Dl
which is very properly translated, because he was
jealous for my sake. See Johnson's Instructions in
Mosaic Religion, page 81 note, which says the word
Kama Originally from the word Kan, to watch as
brood), signifies, properly speaking, determined
will and purpose to do and execute something with
zeal, diligence and activity And may add here
that when the within written this book was not
in my possession which is another proof that all who
study the Bible with candor and honest zeal will gen
orally agree with each other in their conclusions, al
though they are divided by time and space. And is
this not beautiful commentary upou the truth OF
the M )saic revelation?'
Although many years have elapsed, my mind is
still vivid with the fond recoectons of the past and
it affords me great of pleasure to add leaf
of laurel to the brow of my dearly departed friend,
Jacob Mordecai as tribute to his memory which
have ever cherished. JACOB EZEKIEL.

Quiring the rider to do so in his own

sECoND.-It is simple and effective.
THIRD-It is unobtrusive in APP

FOURTH.-It does not vibrate but
causes the wheels to accommodate
themselves to uneven surfaces, while
the rider maintains a uniform position.
FIFTH enables the rider to exert
power equally, unmindful of the rough

SIXTH-It obliterates every objec-
ton to cycling on the part Of delicate

SEVENTH saves the nerves and

EIGHTH.-It lengthens the life of the

NINTH accomplishes perfect re-

TENTH.-Its price, s65. places it

LoTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE.
Maude fliIman Opens an Engagement in
a Sensational Comedy Drama.

Special Delivery" comedy drama by
D. H. Scully, was given It's first perform
ance in this city at Lothrop's Opera House
Monday evening by Maude Hillman and
company The troupe have six or eight
dramas in their repertoire which they are
accustomed to present weekly but Wor-
cester not giving warm welcomes of late
to repertoire companies, the management
selected the best play of their list and will
retain It throughout the local engage
ment. The play relates the fortunes of =
New York letter carrier, who Is falsely az
cused OF murder and condemned to impris-
onment He escapes from confinement and
succeeds in establishing his own inno-
cence and avenging himself on his villain
Gus accuser.
Miss Hillman is a star new to our pub
lie. Special Delivery" gives her but little
opportunity to prove her claim to stellar
greatness, but she brings a pleasing i'm
preston OF handsome face well rounded
figure, pleasant, musical voice and good
dramatic instincts, We should be glad to
welcome her in more exciting and inn
portant role. George K. Robinson of this
city was the villain OF the play, and met
his disagreeable duties with energy and
force. Mr.. Robinson received a warm re-
ception on his entrance, and his work was
fiatteringly commented on, especially the
staging of the play, for which he Is re-
spons.ble. ]. M Donavin made robust
hero, and Jere McAulffe a comical coined
ian, with budget of new. PAROLES that
delighted the audience hugely. Helen Frost
was good as an Irish scrub woman. Marion
Francis was cast for a telegraph boy and
handled the slang and the cigarette that
the part demanded in a manner that indell-
bly, stamped her az real good girl
There were a number of specialties in
troduced which served to brighten the
play, except a song alleging to be in honor
Of Cuba, which was horrible example of
poor writing and poor taste. The scenery
was capital the mansion interior being the
most elaborate drawing-room scene ever
displayed at Lothrop's. The Harlem
bridge was another elaborate set.

The galleries were packed TO the doors,
and tine attendance of senators was

Eager to ascertain the full findings OF

When the reading of the PRESIDENT

fell over the chamber that one literally
might have heard q pin fall
Throughout the reading of both the

there was not the slightest demonstra-

sage and findings, came the speech OF
Mr.. Money (Misa) upon his recent OBJ

from them which he had made. He
spoke extemporaneously, and his vigor-
