For its intensity Of Affection, the
Jewish family life exceeds on the aver

persisted and grown in power.
, The Jewish family ties do not end
with the years of childhood. You do
not find one Jew rich and another mis-

You find plenty of Jews, Of course.
with the disagreeable qualities which
foolish prejudice attribute to all Of
them-just as you find such qualities
among all men
But YOU do not find any Jew leaving
his brother, or sister, or mother, or
father In want, while he has plenty.
The Jew who should be guilty OF that
particular offense would be promptly
and permanently ostracized by his EEL
