A BANK FoR THE POOR.


: one Of the most remarkable efforts
at philanthropy is the subject Of an ar
ticle by Jacob RiIs IN the New York
Independent. It is an institution called
the Hebrew Free Loan Association
with headquarters in New York It was
founded in 1892 by nine Russian-Jews'
an small storekeepers. and lbs object as
stated IN the constitution shall be to
loan money to poor people without
charging any interest or any expense
whatever. It's capital shall never be
used Tor any other purpose
It's capital at first was only 1s5, but
notwithstanding some losses, II has
grown. by membership fees and dona-
lions. to the sum Of $4,000. During It's
existence It has assisted 10000 persons
IN extreme need" and never charged
a cent for the services rendered to Dor
rowers. Il does not encourage idlenoss'
hut seeks TO help the worthy poor who
may need assistance to pass through
temporary embarrassment one point
Is specially noteworthy The institu-
ton does not discriminate between race
or religion. Among It's clients have
been Americans, English. French
Dutch, Germans, Italians, swedes ana
Turks.
The idea Is said to be Russian
Hebrew. But whatever the origin, 1t
seems 20 De one worthy Of Imitation
We do not know but that Il would pay
well-to-do business men 20 maintain
such an institution. by regular dona-
tIons. If thereby they could escape the
many that are constantly seeking their
assistance. IN the shape of loans mat
are never paid, or OF endorsement on
paper which the endorser Is LEFT to re-
deem. Some business men might save
money by maintaining such an institu-
ton.
II Is interesting 20 remember IN TINS
connection that Hebrews IA the Mosaic
law were strictly forbidden 70 charge
interest on money lent to their brethren
Even the matter Of security was re-
gtrlcted to articles not Of immediate ne
cesslty 10 the borrower In this way
that law discouraged the capitalist
from accommodating wealth IN that man.
ner The people were also discour-
ored from going into debt lightly by
the statute that provided that every
farthing should be paid, and II there
were no other resources, the borrower
and his entire family might be taken
into servitude, until the debt was wiped
ont by labor. or until the year OF jubi-
lee The intention OF the law was ia
encourage the wealthy 60 aid the
worthy poor. not for gain but as q
matter OF pure philanthropy 10 Is this
idea Of which the remarkable loan in
stltution seems 90 be a realization.
