lion to the lamb, the vulture to q
dove, the sinner to a saint, the
curse into a blessing. 1t is this
work which has exalted the nation
to be the glory of all lands and the
foremost spiritual dissimminator
ofthe world. This great and grand
and glorious work is the forerun-
ner of real civilization.
No nation has ever enjoyed any
measure Of real exaltation that has
not participated in this glorious
work of God. No nation, however
exalted. has long remained thus
that has devolved from and ceased
to cooperate with God in the build
ing of his spiritual temple.
Look at those nations that are
now groveling in the dirt and dust
of humiliation that once enjoyed
the sweet consolation of eminent
exaltation, and what is the secret
Of their great and appalling abase-
ment? There is but one answer
they ceased to worship and work
for God in spirit and truth.
Why exists that dismal catastro-
phe, that awful vortex Of human
carnage in Europe today, where
whole nations-a almost an entire
continents being swept down to
ruin by the most devastating arms
of warfare that misguided brains
can invent? There is.but one an
swer-because, as a, nation, col
lectively and Individually, they
ceased to allow their interest in
Gods spiritual work to be their
one ruling, dominating aspiration.
There can be no other answer.
Where people engage with and
continue to cooperate with God in
in the building mp Of his spiritual
temple, they live above all that's
barbarous, low and groveling.
Yes, it is work Of prominent
exaltation. Surely such work
should not cease. It should not
cease because as this work pro-
crosses the work of hell and Satan
declines. If this work Of light
cease, darkness will prevail. If
this work of truth cease, error with
all its attendant evils will abound.
II this work of liberty cease; tyr
amy and oppression and slavery
will be extended. If this work Of
purity cease, corruption and prof
legacy will triumph. If this work
ofheaven cease, then death and hell
will have the accursed ascendency.

WELCOME, DIR. LEVIN!

Dr. Shmaryohu Levin, one of the
leading Russian Jews at present in
this country, will be the guest Of the
Jewish community Of the Twin
Cities the first three days of the
coming week. We consider it
rare privilege to have him with us.
Dr. Levin made his mark in Russia,
and is making his mark in this
country, too In Russia he became
known as leader Of the liberal and
progressive elements of the Russian
people, and he played prominent
part IN every movement and effort
along democratic lines. He was
member Of the first two Doumas
(Russian parliament), and was one
of the signers of the famous Viborg
Manifesto to the Car protesting
against his arbitrary dissolution of
the Douma. It required courage to
do that.
Still more important is the part
DIR. Levin has taken as leader in
the present day Jewish nationalist
movement in Russia, Palestine, and
this country. He was largely instru-
mental in the establishment of the
Jewish polytechnic school in Haifa,
Palestine, Of which he was for
time the head. In this country his
work has been largely that of
public speaker and educator. He is
one Of the most stirring and mag
netic Jewish orators of the day in
this country He fairly e1ectrifes
his audiences. His principal address
in Minneapolis will be delivered
Sunday evening at the Keneseth
Israel synagog. Monday he will be
the guest of St. Paul. DR.. Levin, we
bid you hearty welcome.
