LINCOLN AND WILSON.

Lincoln is now the great martyr
hero of this nation. The nation can
not do enough to pay his memory
the tribute of reverence and love due
to him. Yet, during his tenure of
the presidential office, while he was
giving his best thought and energy
to the steering of the ship of state
Alright through the tempestuous
period of our Civil War, he was the
most vilif1ed, slandered and maligned
man in the country.
SO it is with Wilson at the pres
ent time. This country has had no
greater and better man than Will
son in the White House since the
great martyr-president. Like Lin
coin, it has been Wilson's mission
to guide this nation through most
critical period of our history. He
has brought to the task the noblest
qualities of heart and mind toler-
ance, charity, wisdom, frmness and
courage. He has kept us out of
war, and the entanglements leading
to war. With a swash-buckling

tunity for the Twin Cities to become
better acquainted with the hopes
and plans of the Zionists, with the
present strength of the movement,
and to gain new converts to the
cause.
Zionism is the present-day aspira-
ton of millions of Jews, who cherish
the great hope of ewish national
rchabilita ton, of restoration to a
land of their own, the land of their
fathers, where they might again de-
velop their own national cultural
life. 1t is not a new hope at all, but
is as old as the Jewish diaspora:
1t has Of late years, however, been
entirely abandoned by some, and
more intensified in the breasts of
others, and has been assuming some
practical, tangible shapes. Among
the leaders of the movement in this
country are some of the brainiest
men of Jewry, not dreamers and Wis
ionaries, but men of big affairs,
among them one who is a merchant
prince and noted philanthropist in
the metropolis of America, and an
other who is now on the supreme
bench of the land.
There is no reason why every
Jew and Jewess should not at least
be in sympathy with this aspiration,
and wish those engaged in the great
movement a hearty God-speed in
their cndeavOrs.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

although the day itself has the
magic potency of bringing atone
ment, since it is a day dedicated to
earnest prayer, meditation, and re-
pentancc, it does not absolve us
from the obligation to make repara-
ton and restitution for whatever
wrong VIC have done our fellowmen.
That is the good old rabbinic doc
trinc The three elements in the
Jewish scheme of Atonement are:
Repentance, prayer, and righteous
ness towards our fellowmen.

CHARITY.

This is the season when our SYM
pathy with the poor and suffering
should flow like water, and our char
ity like free and generous spring
Sympathy, tender, deep, lasting and
Astounding, is the primary condition
for doing what is right by our fell
lowmen. Unless we feel with them,
feel their pains, sorrows, and trou-
bles, we cannot properly help them.
Without sympathy there can be no
true charity. The charity that comes
from a cold unfeeling heart, just
to get rid of a troublesome problem,
IS no charity It is merely throwing
few crumbs that one can we'll
spare from richly laden table. 1t
is only when we hear the cry of the
poor, and that cry pierces our hearts,
that the response becomes true
charity.
Never did the cry of the poor
reach our ears and hearts with more
fearful appeal than now. With all
our prosperity, with all the gold
that has been flowing into this coun-
try from the blood-drenched battle
fields of Europe, the poor are still
with us, and the severe long winter
is coming when cold will be added
to hunger to make their suffering
all the more intense.
Yom Kippur calls for an immedi-
ate and practical manifestation of
our sympathy with those who actu-
ally suffer want, hunger and cold,
with those who are racked by pain,
who are widowed and orphaned,
either as a result of misfortune here,
or the cruel, inhuman butchery
abroad. There is no more effcacious
way of obtaining reconciliation with
Gcd and man.
