A RABBI ON zoNIsM.

Rabbi silyerman Of New York has
recently spoken about Zlonlsm, and his
views are everything but encouraging
TO that cause, lie tells the followers Of
Or. Herzl that their project is based
ON an imaginary love for ziOn AS for
himself, he loves America and does not
care for any other land why he
asks, SHOULD I love Zion, which
know not, and where l have never
been?"
Then he argues that zionlsm is i'm
possible because the Turkish govern
ment will not peaceably surrender Pal
estine to anyone, least OF all to the
Jews. But were It possible to create a
Jewish state, the evils that would fol-
low, thinks Or. silyerman, would be
greater than those It would be intended
to relieve. 1t would be a great Ghetto,
with all the evils Of the Ghetto in
creased hundredfold." The course OF
events cannot be turned backward
Traditions are not a creative FORCE
Destiny Is stronger than delusion and
the irresistible movement among the
Jews Is now to scatter more widely and
strike their roots more deeply In the
nations Of the earth rather than to con-
centrate upon any particular spot how
ever oonsecrated.
Does II not strike Dr. silverman that
this very irresistible movement
among the Jews to scatter and strike
their roots more deeply In the nations
of the earth" may become one OF the
forces for ZiOnism? Surely, II Judaism
is TO become aggressive among the ma
lions, some o, these will present diff
cultIes that In no better way can be

The difficulties pointed out by the

the possibility, humanity speaking of

with which thelr plans can be executed.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

This Is the time when many persons
make new resolutions. They have had
habits to break with; or they feel i'm
pressed TO make promises for the future
as to the performance OF good deeds
they have neglected.
The habit OF making resolutions at
this time Of the year Is very proper. IT
has become q matter Of jest, though,
because so many New Years resolu-
tons are broken. The trouble Is that
people oyerestlmate their own capacity
for repentance. They make no allow
ance for the strength Of the chains
which habit has forged around them,
and they neglect to look for the neces-
sary aid to break those chains. They
forget that their locks. like those OF
Samson, have been shorn, while they
slept, and that their strength is gone.
That is the real cause OF so much fall
ure Of good resolutions. II people were
really anxious TO obtain moral freedom
freedom from the slavery Of bad hab-
its and sins-and 10 be made active In
the service Of Righteousness, and IL
they would seek aid in the divine
source Of life and truth. they would find
the battle against that which troubles
their consclences comparatively easy.
This should be said OF New Years
resolutions; II is better not 10 mako
any more than can be kept; It is bet
ter TO make none at all than make
many and keep none. For broken prom
Uses mean n weakening of the oharac-
ter Every broken promise is a victory
Of the evil power over him that has
broken 1t, and for every such victory
the evil power gains in strength, and
the victim loses. 1t Is best to promise
little and keep II. and thus gain
strength to promise more aud fulfil
that promise too. Resolutions are Of no
value except as they can be carried
into practice.

OUR COUNTRY.

A unique map Is published in the
January number OF Success. II shows
Europe all cut up into pieces and dis
trlbuted among the States Of the North
American Union, and it is really as
tonishing 20 see how little room all
Europe occupies, compared 10 the
United States. 1t gives a good idea Of
the magnitude of this country, and its
future possibilities.
On that map, Germany only fills a
tmall portion Of Texas. Austria about
covers two Southern states. The Brit
ifh Isles have ample room In q few
New England states. Italy does not
crowd out the inhabitants OF Illinois
France covers a small portion OF Mon
tana and Wyoming. Sweden has
plenty Of room in California. Norway
is a small strip extending through Colo
Iado, Kansas and Indian Territory
Spain and Portugal are about equal to
South Dakota and Nebraska. And the
rest Of Europe can easily be placed In
one OF the Western States.
When the millions that Europe sus-
ta'ns are considered, when the power
that each Of these European countries
81 exercising is remembered the pos
sbilities of this country may be some
what understood. There Is no reason
why each state OF the Union should not
at some future time WELD as much
power and influence and have as many
resources as any one Of the European
countries OF an equal area. And then
when all this power and influence are
represented by the one government
al the national capital. there is no
reason why our government should not
