In all the records Of theatrcals there no parallel to
the wonderful history OF the famous Jefferson family
The first Of this illustrious family of thespans was
Thomas Jefferson; born in England in 1746 At that
time actors considered social outcasts and vaga-
bonds and to adopt the calling Of actor required
wonderful sacrifice Of personal prestige-yet Thomas
Jefferson did this in about l767. The sacrifice he made
the partial severance Of his home ties and the COM
pete loss Of nearly all his old friends.
But, the spirit Of Thespia strong within him, he
followed his nborn natural inclination and rapidly ad-
vanced in his chosen calling He eventually became the
principal comedian in David Garricks company, then
playing at the Covent Garden in London.
While engaged as comedian with Garrick's company,
Jefferson played Bob Acres in THE Rivals in which
ne established himself Of the foremost comedians
OF his time He the idol Of all London in l779-due

their views are not the same as our

Jewish ExClusiveness

There are two kinds of exclusive
ness. There is one which is bigOted
and fanatic. The passion for study
which Spinoza had and the brightness
of his mind induced his parents to
educate him as a rabbi. At fourteen
he had studied the Talmud and the
Hebrew Scriptures so that he almost
rivaled all the doctors in the cXacti-
tude and extent of his knowledge.
But he was summoned before the
synagogue and threatened with cX-
communication. The discipline of the
rabbis was severe Shortly before. Il
Jew who had incurred the displeasure
of the elders had been forced to lie
across the threshold of the synagogue
presenting his body to the feet of the
congregation as it passed out In
some such way they would have been
glad to humiliate Spinoza. but they
resolved to eXcOmmlinicate him. and
curse him. The day of cxcommnnica-
tion at length arrived and vast con
course assembled to witness the awful
ceremony 1t began by the solemn
and silent lighting of Il quantity of
black wax candles. and by opening the
tabernacle wherein were deposited the
books of the law of Moses. Thus We're
the dim imaginations of the faithful
prepared for all the horrors of the
scene The chief rabbi was to order
the execution. He stood there. The
people fixed their eager eyes upon
him. High above. the chanter rose
and chantcd forth in loud, Iugubrious
tones the words of execution. Now
the black candles were reversed. and
were made to melt drop by drop into
huge tub filed with blood Then
came the final anathcma: "With the
Judgment of the angels and the saints
we eXcommunicate. cut off, curse and
mathematics Baruch de EspinoZa
with the consent of the elders and of
all this holy congregation in the pres
ence of the holy books: by the 613
precepts which are written therein:
with the anathema wherewith Joshua
cursed Jericho: with the curse which
Elisha laid upon the children, and
with all the curses which are written
in the law. Cursed be he by day and
cursed be he by night; cursed be he in
sleeping and cursed be he in waking;
cursed in going out and cursed in
coming in The Lord shall not pardon
him: the wrath and fury of the Lord
shall be kindled against this man and
shall lay upon him all the curses
which are written in the book OF the
law. The Lord shall destroy his name
under the sun and cut him off for his
undoing from all the tribes of Israel
with all the curses of the firmament
which are written in the book of the
law. And we warn you that none
may speak with him with word OF
mouth, nor by writing, nor show any
favor to him, nor be under one roof
with him. nor come within four cubits
of him. nor read any paper composed
or written by him."
Thus was Spinoza, the noblest man
Of his generation, cast forth. The
wonderful intellectual jew, Spinoza,
cast out by Jews!
But there is an exclusiveness which
is the sign, not of bigotry, but OF the
sincerity which is always to be ad-

call it supernaturalism.
No characters so atrOciOusly and
hopelessly depraved as he presents to
his readers have ever existed on this
earth.
Whether the world has benefited or
not by his productions must for the
present remain moot point but GER

neither are they healthy mental pabu-

nor for the weak-minded. semi-idiotic
youth who prides himself upon being
IL man about town.
The works were written for full
grown men and women who are pos
sessed of normally developed brains
and normally clean characters: for
people who can set each picture in its
contemporary background and in its
historic frame. for people who do not
read the books to see what bad they
can fined in them. but what good they
can derive from them.
The vocabulary of abuse has been
almost exhausted in characterizing
his work: he has been described as un-
clean. as immoral as pessimistic.
Well, if it is unclean to castigate
vice, then Zola may plead guilty; if
it is immoral to expose hypocrisy then
lola may admit t!.c sofstt ;;;npc;.shmcIitt,
If it is pessimistic to prove that Grass
ignorance must inevitably lead to per-

force of a sermon: if he had never
raised his voice on behalf of the pris-
oner of Devils Island. lola would
have lived in my mind as man with
mission, as man desperately in
earnest, as great moralist, as
preacher and as a prophet.
And what was his message? 1t was
one that should appeal to all of lis if

think anything of our Judaism, if we
think anything of our homes, if We

thou pursue?" His whole public life
was one long eloquent plea for justice
and for morality morality in the
home, morality in the market, moral
ity in the world
He loves his France with great
love: to him France is the heart of
the world and Paris is the heart of
France.
And because he loves, he chastises
and in successive kaleidoscope views,
he shows us how step by step France
goes from bad to worse, until we fl
nally reach the inevitable debacle-
the downfall at Sedan. Read the first
verse of Lamentations and you will
see how great minds agree. Jeremiah
sings of Jerusalem. GLOW doth the
city sit solitary that was full of peo-
pie: how is she become as a widow;
she that was great among the nations
and princess among the provinces;
how is she become tributary.'

even as Isaiah scourged his. 'From
