ism. Twain says In the article that it is
not the hatred of the Jews religion, but
antipathy from a business standpoint, al
though he says as follows:
Many Facts to His Credit.
"'These facts are all on the credit side
Of the proposition that the Jew is a good
and orderly citizen. Summed up, they
| certify that he is quiet, -peaceable, indus
trious unaddicted to high crimes and bru-
tai dispositions; that his family life is
commendabie; that he is not burden upon
public charities; that is not a beggar;
that in benevolenee he is above the reach
of competition. These are the very qun-
essentials of good citizenship. II you can
add that he is as honest as the average
of his neighbors-but | think that ques-
tion is affirmatively answered by the fact
that he is successful business man. The
basis of successful buness is honesty; a
business cannot thrive where the parties
to it cannot trust each other. In the mat
ter Of numbers the Jew counts for little
in the overwhelming population of New
York; but that his honesty counts for
much Is guaranteed by the fact that the
! immense wholesale business of Broadway,
from the Battery to Union Square, is sub
stantially in his hands,
Now if the Jews dealings are honor
able in business relations. and there is no
prejudice against his religion, then what
is it that has produced this agony and mis-
cry of centuries, and which Is as domi-

To conclude: If the statistics are right,
the Jews contribute but / per cent of the
, human race. 1t suggests nebulous dim
puff of the star dust lost in the blaze of
the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought
hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of,
has always been heard of. He is as promi-
nent on the planet as any other people, and
his commercial Importance is extravagant-

cannot expect anything else but the tigers
spring, and it is not the tiger that should
be blamed, but the cruel master. To me it
has been wonder that Notwithstanding
all the cruelties and barbarities practiced
upon the Jews, there is yet so much
of humanity. morality, and true religious
fervor left in their composition, and it
argues we'll for the ground work of their

4At the close OF the nineteenth century,
1t is proper that We should review the
past, SO that we can derive instruction
therefrom, and gather new hope and cour-
age for The future One of the wisest OF
Israel's sages said There is nothing new
under the SUM- and however strange this
observation may sound in the light OF
modern inventions and discoveries, yet
should not be surprised that all these
things which We now prize so highly have
heretofore existed One thing is sure,
that the spirit of persecution and the ami
mus of prejudice and fanaticism has always
shown its vindictiveness, and is as DOM
inant today in many ways, as in the dark
est DAYS of feudaiism, and il requires
master mind 10 prevent the masses from
becoming mere tools in the hands OF
schemers and agitators. 1t may interest
you TO know that in the early days of the
present century, the conditions In France
were almost identical with those OF today
with this difference, that il was then
military government dominated and con-
troIled by the man of all time, Napoleon.
The influence of the priest had been de-
stroyed by the revolution, and under the
new empire was beginning to show its hy-
dra-headed fanatieism. 1t was at this
time that Napoleon wrote the following let
ter to his, minister Portals, which it is
worth while TO read again, to get an
idea not only of the wonderful genius of
Napoleon, but also to know what infiu-
ences were al work then against the Jew,
and when We comprehend the full import
of this letter, We need not after all be very
much surprised at the condition of France
today:
Ii is against the divine law to prevent the
Jews from working SUNDAYS in order to gain
his bread; the jew has his necessities Sunday
as well the week days The government
bread to those who have none; police and Gov
eminent have, therefore, no business to interfere
Even the holy fathers prescribed rest only Tor
the people of wealth, or those who earned enough
during the week TO affcTd spending the Sunday in
idleness. Therefore, in all Christian countries
il is the custom 10 work Sundays by special
permission of the bishop or priest. Why should
not the Jews he allowed to do so? Is it one Of
the bishops rights, who hates the Jews, or the
magistrates rights, who has love for the Jews,
to grant or withhold such 4 permission?
We had better he careful before create 4
condition of affairs where would be compelled
10 send policemen to the jews who must work
for their living in order 10 Stop their Sunday
labor.
In either case the authorities would be guilty
OF superstition, either political religious. God
has made labor duty, he does not permit the
enjoyment OF product of the earth unless labor
clergy must be divided in such that affect re-
igion in lis essence, and in such that are passed
for the object of extending their power.
Mr. Portals had better, therefore, be careful
because those concessions once made the govern
ment undertaking to interfere in matters that

The morning services of Yom Kippur,
Day Of Atonemert. began at the Eighth
Street Temple at 10 o'clock today, and
the observance will not conclude
until sundown this evening. Rev. Louis
Stern, the pastor conducted the services,
and President j. L. Blout and Vice Presi-
dent Philip Peyer, of the congregation, oc-
cupied chairs on the rostrum. The men,
bers of the congregation began arriving
about $3.50 a. m. and the Temple was well
filed when the services opened. Many OF
the congregation remained during the en-
tire day and others for several hours. Dur
ing the service there was always a large
crowd in the Temple.
The services began with silent devotion,
in which the worshipers prayed for the
forgiveness of their sins and that they
might be reconciled with God and all their
fellow-men. This prayer was followed by
an anthem by the choir, then several
prayers by the Rev. DR.. Stern and alter
nate readings by the pastor and congrega-
tion interspersed by few short chants by
the choir, then more prayers by the pastor,
at the end of each the congregation and
choir singing a few words.
Next followed the santification, consist
ing OF prayers and alternate readings by
| pastor and congregation. The confession
| came next with silent devotion, prayers and
responses and reading from the torah or
scroll of sheepskin upon which are written
| the religious laws, then reading from the
Bible.
