The difference between the dress of the past and

RABBI A. J. MESSING TELLS THE STORY OF
 THE JEW IN HIS RELATION TO MONTGOMERY
First Citizen of Alabama's Capital City Was a Hebrew and His People Have
 Been Factors in All 
 of Its History.

The damboyant metaphor of Southern oratory has crowned Montgomery. city and county, with many distinctions. She is the Cradle of the Confederacy." She Is the Capital City" She is the Breast pin of Alabama" But the fact that she is the home of the first Jewish settler in the State is very rarely noted.
 Nevertheless, this distinction, if such 1t may be called, belongs to her. It Is often asserted that Jews settled in Alabama as early as 1724. and that they first pitched their tents in the Mobile district of the French colony of Louisiana over which Bienville ruled as Governor. Searching Investigations however. reveals no rec ord of such settlement Montgomery was the home of the first Jew in Ala bama. His name was Abraham MordecaL Whence he came or how his wandering steps were led to this seQuestered region are mooted questions, as Is indeed the de- termination of almost all beginnings.
 Albert James Pickett. in his History of Alabama" refers to Mordecai as "an intelligent low who lived fifty years in the Creek Nation." Having established a trading post two miles west of Line Creek about eighteen miles from the site of the present Capitol. he carried on an exten- sive trade with the Indians and "ex- changed his goods for pinkroot, hickory nut oil and peltrles of all kinds" Mod decai believed that the Indians with whom he dealt were originally Jews. In their green-corn dances he often heard them utter, in grateful tones, "Yavoyaha, Yavoyaha." He was informed by the In- dians that this means Jehovah, or the Great Spirit, and that they were then returning thanks for the abundant har- vest with which they had been blessed. In October, 1892, Abram Mordecai establish

 of their loving wives and daughters and sisters at home. The memory of Caroline

 Judah P. Benjamin was . resident of Montgomery during the war period. Alp
 pointed Attorney General of the Provis-
 ional Government of the Southern Con-
 federacy in 1881, in August of the same
 year he was appointed acting Secretary
 of War. Later Jefferson Davis appoint

 But the Jews of Montgomery served their city not only in times of war but also in times of peace. They have held the highest offices of public trust and emlnence within the gift of the people. Montgomery has had two Jewish mayors, Henry B. Faber QS70-lS7D and Mordecai Moses, the first Democratic mayor to be
 elected after the war ds76-1ssp. In the City Council the late Captain Greil and l the lamented Lieutenant Leopold Lemle served successive terms. Within the past eight years Messers Abe Isaac, 8. | Roman. B. J. Meyer, Leopold Strauss. | and Nathan Strauss. have been regularly elected aldermen. Mir. Leopold Strauss and Mr. Nathan Lobman gre members of the present Council.
 The Jew has likewise played an im- portant part in the commercial develop ment of the city, It is significant that the president of the Commercial and Industrial Association" is that type oi energetic and progressive citizenship, Mfr Alex Rice.

have not merely local influence, but are factors of recognised importance in the Southern States. The history of their advancement is really part of the his- tory of the evolution of this municipal ity. Theirs has been no ephemerai growth. There has been with them home of the spirit of booming so character istio of American cities. Their progress has not been like the product of the farm, the pumpkin that grew 50 rapidly that it's owner said "as the vine swept along it wore the pumpkin all out" Their growth has been like that of the city-the city which has stood the test of hard times. its feet planted right down in the cotton belt and its arms of steel stretching out to gather in the snowy wealth and the ripened fruit. Their strength is like that of the soil upon which the city is planted, and it Is not ephemeral-it is like the bluffs upon which the Capitol rests-immovable.
 Many of the cfty's architectural peau- ties. moreover. tell better than words the story of the Jew. First. there is the new Temple Beth-Or, corner Clayton and sayre Streets. dedicated last year at Q cost of $50.0O0. Then there is the new Standard Club. without doubt the most spacious and commodious club house in all the South. which is to be finished in January.
 The Jews of Montgomery support many institutions devoted to intellectual ad- vancement notably ''The Council of Jew ish Women" and "The Falson Club" They conduct charities covering every conceivable case of need and suffering "The Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Soci- ety." ''The United Hebrew Charities" and
 "rhe Temple Guild" They have two lodges consecrated to the objects of the 'B'nai B'rith" a worldwide organization whose watchwords are Peace. Brotherly Love and Harmony" Montgomery, from it's Emanuel Lodge 1O0 and its Alabama Lodge 299. has given Co this famous or ganization names that are favorably known not only to the district but to the Order Universal. Jacques Loeb who solved the Endowment Problem recently retired from the chair of Grand Presi- dent.
 When the new Temple Beth-Ors corner
 stone was laid with appropriate rites, Mir. David We'll, the Grand Old Man" of
 Montgomery Judaism dropped into the
 receptacle this message to posterity: ''The
 members of this congregation constitute
 c perceptible portion of loyal law-abiding

 their ancestral religion and have tried
