Death of Herman P0ttlitzer

Word has just been received that
Herman Pottlitzer. one of the most

ing. Mr.. POttlitZer was a member of
the Grand Lodge, District No. 2. l. O.

body structure we inhabit. leaving
within all the rubbish that centuries
have there accumulated. 1t some
times looks as if the modern minister
whether of religion. of medicine. of
law, or of anything else is expected to
be not an educator. but IA preserver
and respecter of the rubbish and
mouldy superstitions that have accum-
ulated through the centuries and
which our busy world has not the
time to sweep clean. Every sincere
and honorable man in any profession
knows that most people would not even
have the patience to listen to honest
medical advice, or legal or religious
advise. Any real building up process
that is undertaken must be done on
the rubbish heap of superstition and
prejudice and worse.
Now. in all sincerity, what is to be
done. and what will come of all this
AS Americans and as Jews both we
are hurrying on to nervous wreckage.
AS Jews we have all but lost our own
rich culture and have substituted Il
superficial smattering of what might
have been an education. If we were
thorough. if we had the time and pa
tiencc Furthermore II few specialists
in every line are nevertheless cOntin-
uing to keep the even tenor of their
ways and are branching out in I'M
dreamed of directions. until we shall
have IA civilization on the one hand
reaching up into the heavens. and on
the other extreme II nervous SupcrSi-
tious. unenlightened. superficial men
and women. representing so many
dressed dolls. dancing about as in II
puppet show.
What's the remedy! We will have
to stop this pace. and take our time.
1t would be no disgrace to have our
coats made by really educated men.
and be waited on by refined. cultured
women. No disgrace to till the ground
with a broad, liberal education. as
well as with spade. No disgrace even
to have bread made by clean minds
as well as by clean hands.
Let few families begin the up
ward march of "plain living and
high thinking" and the country will
experience a re-awakening such as it
has never felt i'm all its history.

Scientific facts do
not interest the ma
jority of men one
Science or
Superstition

half as much rs do superstitions. Any
one who doubts this may prove to
himself the truth of this statement. y
friend of mine told me he made II
wager with another man that the
American people will buy anything
absurd or ridiculous much more
readily than anything of demonstrable
value. And SO he advertised a powder
that would make fish grow in the wa
ter. and one application after another
came in asking for the wonderful
powder. No one asks how can it be
done. what are the laws through which
this powder operates so aS to make
fishes grow. We are too busy to go
into detail. we want results.
Now the same holds true in every
department of life. Let man say
seriously and without Il smile that he
holds tooth pick which has been sane
titled by some great Indian Priest and
which has the power to cure tooth
ache or headache. or both. and with
out further question many II one will
invest in the miraculous tooth pick.
On the other hand let some one lee
turc on the laws of health and dis
eases. and demonstrate the cause and
effect of food stuffs and medicines on
the human body. let others show the
cause and effect in the thought world.
and people are not interested except
the fewest. and they seldom act upon
the advise or upon the scientific fact.
Half the world is still wrapt in the
darkness of superstition. Let any old
lady tell of the most outlandish super
stition and the listeners will avoid do
ing or saying the thing which the sr-
perstition forbids. Let the most elO-
quent preacher tell in the most inter
esting way of the laws of spiritual life
and no such immediate movement to
action is noticeable. Why! Because
this is not an age of thorough educa-
tion in spite of all finishing schools in
this and other countries, but it is an
age of superficiality. nervous inatten
tion. hurry. hustle and quick results.
That we get quick results there is no
doubt. but these are the results: Su-
perfciality in every department of
life. We have not time for thorough
cleansing of the inner chambers OF ig-
norance. superstition. prejudice. and
a careful building up of the structure
of education and enlightenment; all
we have time for is a retOuching, or
repainting of the outer sides of the

FROM THE EULOGY PREACHED BY PHIL
LIPS BROOKS WHEN THE BODY OF
THE MARTYRED PRESIDENT LAY
IN PHILADELPHIA.
God brought him up as he brought
David up from the sheepfolds to feed
Jacob, his people, and Israel, his in
hcritance. lie came up in earnestnesS
and faith. and he goes back in tri-
mmph. AS he pa,lses here today, and
from his cold lips bids us bear wit
ness how he has met the duty that
was laid on him. what can we say out
of our full hearts but this: "IIe fed
them with a faithful and true heart.
and ruled them prudently with all his
power The Shepherd Of the PeOpic!
That old name that the best rulers
ever craved. What ruler ever won it
like this dead President of ours? lie
fed us faithfully and truly. lie fed
us with counsel when we were in
doubt. with inspiration when we some
times faltered. with caution when VIZ
would be rash: with calm. clear. trust
full checrfulness through many al.
hour when our hearts were dark. lie
fed hungry souls all over the country
with sympathy and consolation. lie
spread before the whole land feasts of
great duty and devotion and patriot
ism. on which the land grew strong.
lie fed us with solemn. solid truths.
lie taught us the sacredncSS of gov
crnment. the wickedness of treason.
lie made our souls glad and vigorous
with the love of liberty that was in
his. lie showed us how to love truth
and yet be charitablc-how to hate
wrong and all oppression. and yet not
treasure one personal injury or insult.
He fed all his people. from the high
est to the lowest. from the most priv
ilegcd down to the most enslaved.
Best of all, he fed us from rever-
ent and genuine religion. He spread
before us the love and fear of God
just in that shape in which we need
them most. and out of his faithful SER
vice of higher Master. who of lis
has not taken and eaten and grown
strong! "IIe fed them with faithful
and true heart Yes. till the last
For, at the last. behold him standing
with hand reached out to feed the
South with mercy and the North with
charity. and the whole land with
peace. when the Lord who had sent
him called him. and his work was
done!
