Lincoln Steffens, writing in the Amer

anecdote concerning him: once,
when Fels had been stating his propo-

impressed by the genial humor, the
profouna kindness and the serene
wisdom of this little Jew, turned to
him quietly and said. Fels. the Jews
call themselves the chosen people;
the world has acknowledged the title,
and I, for example, am willing now, in

indeed the chosen. But what are they
chosen for?' The Jews, said Fels,
