ter Now, friends, another mistake
which / can not pass by because it
rests heavily upon me, and that is
that l believed in making the Jew like
the Gentle. / did not want to have
him different from the Gentle. He
was to be like the Gentle in appear
ance, in thoughts inceremonials, in
everything. The more he became near
to that ideal, being like his Gentle
fellowmen, the more believed sue
cess would crown my work. And, my
friends, 1t was great mistake. We
must differentiate. There must be
a difference. If A is to be B, then
A ceases to be. The A must differn-
tate from the B. 1t must be some
thing different, and we Jews should
be something different.
We say we are proud of being Jews.
In theory we are so, but not in prac-
tice, because if we carried it out in
practice we should be different. And
the Jew we shall have in years TO
come will be something different and
will never change. The melting pot
will not melt him. Assimilation, in
which ] believed and of which was
an uphoder, is failure. We will not
assimilate. Therefore, my friends, let
me give you just a short historical
sketch When we hear of the first
Jew, Abraham, we hear already the
word 60, get thee gone" He had
to go from his country and this word
has remained with the Jew for four
thousand years. He had always to
go from here to there, from that
country to the other country. Al
ways they tell us: Go" During all
this wandering, during all the pro-
cesses which tried to assimiliate him,
through all the time that he was
thrown into the melting pot, he came
out a different being from all the
rest. Why this was ! can not tell

that stir him. ! do not wish to say
anything against reason. Do not mis-

the lamp of our life, but there is

You place an X-ray on your hand and
you can see every fibre therein. 1t

your hand to it for a length of time
and it will wither
Reason is like the steering-wheel of

right direction, but if you have no
gasoline in your tank, if you neglect
to light the pilot, the machine will not

exactly mans position when he relies

Something more. You can reason
yourself into self-destruction. All this
you can do were it not for your emo
tions. They control your life. The
moving forces in our existence are
hope, love, likes and dislikes. Fear
is a powerful driving force, and as
a Rabbi should have appealed to that
very emotion. The beginning of wis
dom is the fear of God. A child is
born. The parents are moved by that
event because in this new life all their
hopes and fears are conferred. A mar
riage is performed, and the people
are stirred to the depths of their
hearts, because, as in the former case,
they stand before an unknown ma
ture, they stand before something
they can not grasp, that they can
not reason out.
They feel at such occasions that
they are subjected to influence over
which they have no control. And

Dr. Solomon SCHNEIDER, Boston, Mass.
Somebody declared that if wishes
were automobiles it would be very
unsafe to cross the streets. While
wishes are so many and so various,
there is one wish common at the bot
tom of the heart of every man or
woman. That wish is to live ones life
over again You will not find any
one who has not at some time in his
life expressed that wish. Why? Not
merely because he wished a prolonga
tion of the years of his life; no, that
wish wells up in us because we feel
that we have not acted as we should
have, that we have not obtained that
success in life which we think we
would have Raced if we could but
live that over again; or in palmer, sim
pier words, that we feel that we have
made mistakes.
T. too, have felt that if I could live
life over again, ] might act in an en-
tirely different way, and reach sue
cess by entirely different methods than

myself for having done anything
wrong, but after many years of OBJ
serving what is going on in the world,
what changes occur therein, one be-
holds life in an entirely different light.

we grow older. We see that youthful
optimism is not always leading us in
