closed its doors today for tie first
time in its history, for lack of funds.
No more money will be expended
until January 1st, when the soci ty
will again start operations and con-
tinue its aid until the sum allotted
for the month by the directors has
been paid out.
Last year approximately 100000
was paid out in benefits and pensions
by the society, but this year there is a
deficit of nearly $4,000. with an in
creased number of applications for as
sistance. The deficit is caused by
falling off in the guarantee funi
which is annually subscribed by GER
tain rich men, and the expiration of
certain legacies and bequests.

An Object Lesson

Another evidence of the full fellow
ship prevailing in the Sunny South is
exhibited today in the city of Mobile,
Alabama. A few days ago the edi-
flee of the First Christian church was
destroyed by fire. Congregation
Shaarai ShOmayim, whose beautiful
new synagogue was completed only
six months ago, at once offered to the
homeless Christian Congregation the
use of their handsome temple, and the
invitation was accepted.
1t is no surprise to those who are
acquainted with the Jews of Mo-
bile that their regrets at the misfor-
tune which has befallen their fellow
citizens, members of Christian
church, were manifested in such
substantial manner, thereby assuring
them of a house of worship until such
time wnen a new edifice will shelter
them. Nor is it surprise that Il
Christian people, recognizing the free
will Offering of temple for their use,
a privilege offered in the spirit of fel-
lowship, was so promptly accepted.
For months to come Christians and
Jews of these respective cOngrega-
tions will worship, each in accordance
with its own faith, in the Jewish tenn
pie of Mobile. The Jews will praise
the Lord as was the custom of their
ancestors, generation after generation,
and in consonance proclaim, 'Holy!
Holy! Holy! is the Lord of hosts! the
whole world is full of His glory"
while the Christians will give thanks
unto Him on high and again the tenn
pie will resound to His praise
GLORY to God in the highest. and on
earth peace, good will to man."
Perhaps the inter-association of
such splendid congregations as the
First Christian Church and Congrc-
CATION Shaarai Shomayim of Mobile.
and Rayne Memorial Church and
Congregation Touro Synagogue. will
bear good fruit in the future for tenn
pie and church are dedicated for the
same purposes, and Christians or
Jews, assembled to do homage to the
Creator. are blessed.
Happy are they that dwell in thy
house: they will continually praise
Thee. Selah. Happy the people who
are thus! Happy the people whose
God is the Lord !''-Jomish Ledger.

French Jewish Statistics

There are no statistics in existence
which determine tie extent of the
Jewish population in this country.
The civil registers and other official
statistical documents do not mention
religious beliefs of citizens Never
theless. various researches recently
made by scholars supplemented. on
the other hand by information fur
nished in the publications of Jewish
organizations enable us to form
more correct estimate on the subject
than has hitherto been the case. 1t is
easier to fix the Jewish population in
the provinces, because, with very
rare exceptions, the Jews are inscribed
as members of the community in the
town in which they reside. We thus
arrive at the figure of about 10000
souls. In Algeria, where the census
does mention each individuals s relig-
ion. there are in addition $4,000
Jews.

Spanish Hospitality

The whirligig of time certainly does
bring some strange changes. The out
break of Moorish fanaticism at Casa
blanca has resulted in gratifying
and noble display of Spanish magnan-
unity. 1t appears that some 500 of
the hapless Jewish refugees from that
town proceeded to Gibraltar, where
the English governor refused to per-
nit them to enter. They then went
The Jewish outlook., 1908-01-03

to Linea and Algeciras, at which towns
they were cordially welcomed by the
Spanish authorities. The customs du-
ties were remitted and every reasOna-
BILE provision was made for their com
fort and convenience. Algeciras, the
town which was the meeting place of
the international conference that
dealt with the affairs of Morocco, re-
ceived the greatest number of the re-
fugees. 1t is not to be wondered al
that the latter presented petition ex-
pressing their deep gratitude and
their prayers for the welfare of the
people who treated them so kindly.
The story is one of the most inspiring
in modern Jewish annals, and may
well be taken as an augury Of better
things for our Moorish brethren,
whose ancestors were driven from
Spain more than four centuries ago.
Judging by the report, the refugees
received an excellent reception from
the Spanish authorities. They were
excused custom dues, and lodgings
were found for them. Victuals We're
brought to them, and they were al
lowed to kill animals according to jew
ish rites and to have IA room for pray
ers. The civil and military authori-
ties We'd with one another in provid-
ing them with all they needed. Most
of them have installed themselves at
Algeciras, some at La Linca and Ca
diz, where they will be able to pass
the winter. AS a result they have ad-
dressed n letter to the president of
the Spanish committee, which con-
tains the following: ''The under
signed, who in consequence of the
events in Morocco have come to seek

their kindness to them. AS the ma

THE WISH TLOOK

In Paris things are very different.
Many hundreds of Jews live outside
Judaism. 1t is only when they die,
and their families require Jewish bur-
ial for them that we learn they were
Jews The tables of mortality thus
form an important basis for an esti
mate of the Jewish population. In a
report presented recently to the Acad-
emy of Medicine it was shown that
the rate of mortality in Paris was II
per 1000. The Jewish Consistory of
Paris registered in 1906 1913 deaths
(there were SO in 1902, S45 in 1903.
SCI in 1904, and S67 in 19O5). A
comparison with former years shows a
notable increase in the Jewish pOpu-
lation. Taking the figures for 1906,
namely, 1913, deaths, and conceding
that the percentage Of mortality
among the Jews is the same as among
the non-Jews, which is not scientific
ally proved for this country, the jew
ish population of the capital would be
about $1,000. but | must add the
deaths, which are not reported to the
COnsistoire, namely, those of Jews
who do not desire burial with religious
rites. DR.. BertillOn proved recently
that in Paris there are % secular bur-
ials in every 100. This proportion is
certainly not reached in the case of
Jews. who generally are buried with
religious rites, for it is an undOubted
fact that secular funerals are partic-
ularly numerous in those Arrondisse-
ments where the Jewish population is
very small indeed. BE this as it may.
this element must not be completely
ignored. so that we may estimate the
total Jewish population of Paris at
$1,000. This figure shows that the
Jewish population has constantly in
creased in recent years, owing to the
immigration of Russians and Rouman-
ians. We now come to the question:
''What is the life of Partisan Juda-
ism?" Tables which have been sup
piled to me by the Consistory of Par
is show that i'm 1901 315 marriages
were celebrated: in 1905. BOG, and in
1906, 321. Thus while the population
increases every year. marriages re-
main practically stationary. The
cause lies i'm mixed marriages, and in
purely civil marriages. even when
both parties are Jews. If we consult
BarmitZvah statistics. we arrive at IA
very unsatisfactory conclusion. Here
the figures are not only not stationary.
hut they diminish every year. In 1903
234 boys were Barmitzvah: in 1905,
204 in 1906. the number fell to 1T.
now take some other figures. The
Jewish population being estimated at
$1,000, and four being the average
number of members of each family
this is the figure established by gen
eral statistics-we obtain a total of
14,00O heads of Jewish families. Now
the number of those who on account of
the separation law have inscribed their
names as contributors towards the
cost of maintenance of religious wor-
ship. has not reached 3,4OO. Taking
5000 as the number of heads of fami-
lies who are neither too poor to contri-
butte. and are. i'm fact. themselves in
receipt of charity or belong to indie
pendent congregations, orthodox and
reform and Chevras. there remain not
less than nearly 5000 who are able to.
but do not. support the budget of the
Paris community.
