THIS RABBI

Gus attack last night on the Zion

aimed AZ the establishment OF an In.

In the beginning Of his discourse
the rabbi described the scattering a.
the Hebrews over the civilized world
after the destruction OF ~. second
temple by the Romans. the perse-
cutionH in the middle ages and the
beneficent effects which the French
revolution had In giving recognition
to the Hebrews and protecting them
by legislation. The result has been
that the Hebrews felt that any
part Of the world could he their
country and they could love IL with
the natural attachment Of one born
on Its soil. Continuing. Dr. Schulz
