The Mother of the Man.

No perfect woman she but unafraid
She walked the ways of life,
A loving daughter first, then afterwards
a loyal loving wife.
She sat upon no pedestal self-reared
In lofty pride alone
But shoulder close with workers walked
To worldly fame unknown.
The simple duties of the common lot
Its loves. its hopes. its fears
With kindly heart and steadfast faith to
brave
Whate'er might bring the years.
She had her place in life, lowly one.
But even in her thought
She neither shirked the task nor unearned
rest
From present duty sought.
And when a son she mothered won his
way
To fortune and to fame,
The foolish world looked on and wondered
much
Whence all his courage came.

DR.. ScHANFARBER FAvoRs MES
SoPoTAMIA.

Colonization of the oppressed Jews
in Messopotamia, in accordance with
the plan proposed by Israel Zangwill,
was advocated recently by Rab-
bi Tobias Schanfarber, in an ad-
dress delivered at Temple K A. M.
The speaker declared that this was the
only certain method of circumventing
the outrages which had startled the
world.
Rabbi Schanfarber pointed out that
few nations gave cordial welcome 10
immigrant Jews, and for that reason
it seemed essential that they should
obtain a land of their own, where
they might be free from oppression
and have an opportunity to enjoy life
without being molested. Such oppor-
tunities were offered, he believed, in
Messopotamia.
The colony, he thought, would at
tract the Jews from Russia and kin
dred countries, where periodical mas
sacres and constant oppression was
to be expected. He was sure that
they would welcome an opportunity
to enter land of peace.
