AFTER treating the vicissitudes and
troubles of the Jews, the writer goes on
10 say: 1t may be added that the vital
statistics of the Jews differ a little from
those of the nations with which they
nave been compared. The Jews have
somewhat greater average longevity.
which Is attributed TO their abstinence,
comparative freedom from phthisiS etc,
and TO their not following employments
which shorten life. Their dietary laws
and ceremonial additions have an influ-
ence in preserving them from epidemics"
To this may be added the statement,
confirmed by their history. that the NOR
ais and the racial unity and strength of
the Jews are attributable 10 the same
causes.

Commercial Skill of Jews.

Reference should also be made to the
commercial skill and ability of the Jews:
now they have come with their money
and their influence to the help of nations
IN difficulty Nor have they always TAX
en- the advantage, in security and usury
10 which the circumstances Justly en-
titled them. In return for the cursing
have often given SuccOr and assistance in
the presence of national and individual
want. The mePe mention of the name
or ROthschild is enough TO establish the
claim made for the Jews, and confirmed
by history, that they have been a Verit-
able stone Of help" 10 nations in dis

Nor have their efforts been confined TO
the commercial element of advancement
and progress. While recognizing the

wish at this point to congratulate the
state OF Utah on the general character
OF the Jewish citizens who have taken
up their residence here. They are Ia

them as refugees. they have left to ret

Persecution Made Puritans.

Like unto this was the migration of the
sturdy Puritans 10 the shores Of New
England, where they became leaders IN
the fight not only for religious but tor
civil liberty. If their destiny was 10 ac-
COmplsh this work in the way in which
il was accomplished they were FASTENED
forward in that work of destiny. IL IN
them. by the persecution they had en-
dured i'm England. So may we speak of
the stanch and sober Quakers, who. un-
der similar stress of persecution and inn
pending danger. settled i'm Pennsylvania
and there assisted in the establishment OF
the principles of right and freedom which
have made our country without a peer N
the world.
Not the least important and benefieenl
OF these migrations was the coming OF
the Jews to America the anniversary nt
which event We celebrate tonight In the
midst of the difficulties and oppression
the old world. they turned 20 America as
an asylum for the oppressed. and its
promises of immunity from persecution
naturally appealed 90 them. For II is a
fact that religious persecution. unjust.
cruel. aud so far as we can see worse than
useless. has been the heritage of the
Jews. That is one of the reasons way
that people has given 10 the world true,
strong and lasting religious conceptions.
These truths have even arisen sOut OF
great stress and suffering. Like the fair-
est flowers out OF the darkest SOIL, the
noblest. brightest and purest truths of re-
Shiny soil of persecution. II is the viii
of God that those things which seem most
repulsive shall. after an. serve some beau
tiful and useful purpose.

Governor Cutters address follows in

In meeting with you on this auspicious
anniversary, / am inclined to offer some
reflections on the causes which have
operated 10 produce the great cOloniz-
ing movements Of the Jews, and especial
Is their migration 10 our own country
These causes were many, aud the cir
cumStauceS were various. Eut II may be
safely said that the central and control
ing cause. the OVermastering circum-
stance, was the persecution endured by
the Hebrews in the various countries OF
the old world Religious persecution is
always unjust. cruel. and even from the
standpoint of the prosecutor. useless. 1t
is unjust because il is usually, in fact
might say always, without real juStifica-
ton. IL would be difficult for any people
that has inflicted persecution on a re-
ligiUus sect. 90 justify the action even to
their own minds. much less 10 the great

arises from passion and prejudice, two OF

ing that gives IL birth. ii recks not OF

Persecution Is Useless.

1t Is useless. for the reason that it never
acCOmplisbes the intention of its fnsti-
gatOrs-the destruction of the people at
tackled or the weakening Of their faith.
religious persecution uniformly fails OF
rs purpose and intended effect The
blood OF the martyrs is the seed OF the
church - an axiom w&tch may be- still
more broadly applied. u is "A fact that
opposition 10 a religious people or idea
gives 10 II greater strength and vitality
than can be gained from any other source.
opposition merely serves to extend the
bounds and strengthen the hold OF the
people or the sect opposed.
But this persecution, unjust and cruel
though II be, and useless though il may
appear. has not been without beneficial
results in the history of the world. God
has OVefruled the evil men have attempt
ted. to the good of mankind in general.
Some of the most far-reachiug and i'm
pOFtaHt movements in history have arisen
directly or Indirectly from religious OBJ
preston ana injustice. This may paTuc-
ularly be said with reference TO great
colOnizing movements and historic migra-
tons. / wish 10 make special mention OF
the exodus of the lsTaelites from Egypt
10 Canaan, where they made Il country
and nation dedicated to the Worship of
the true God. and from whence went forth
10 the world at large the scriptures and
the knowledge OF the one God This event
was pregnant with consequences of great
benefit and Importance 10 the nations
and yet its chief determining cause WIS
the unjust and cruel oppression of the
Hebrews al the hands of the Egyptians.
