BRITISH COMMISSIONER OF
PUBLIC WORKS JOINS
ZIONIST MOVEMENT.

Sir Alfred Mond British First
Commissioner of Public Works, and
Liberal M. P. from Swansea, has
issued a public statement announc-
ing his adhesion to the Zionist
movement, which he says is on the
very verge of realization. This
statement was issued in reply to
letter from an anti-Zionist group in
England who are attempting to Sc
cure from the British Government
a retraction of it's declaration made
on November 3rd in favor of the
establishment of a Jewish national
home in Palestine.
Sir Alfred Mond is one of the
recognized leaders of the liberal
party and the proprietor of the
Westminster Gazette, one of the
seml-official organs of the British
Government.
Israel Zangwill has just announced
officially his return to the Zionist
movement

when thinking of the Genlzah. In
stead, his attitude was one OF rever-
ent modesty. He told us how ne
envied. the. younger scholars VINO
delving into the new-found llterary
remains would further enrich Jew
ish learning 1t was not the envy
or fear that the literary splendor OF
Others would eclipse his, but rather
the longing to have the "zechlah'
Ito be found worthy, like them to
add to the fund of Jewish knowl-
edge. Need I say that this attitude
of our master taught us the true
meaning of "Kinnat soferlm tarbeh
Hokmah" ("The envy of the wise
increaseth 1earning") His attitude
to the future was one of hope. He
regarded the era of learning in west
ern lands as just beginning, SO that
the future, building on the past
might surpass it in glory.
After all, teacher is great not
merely in the actual knowledge he
imparts, but in inspiring his pupils
to follow in his footsteps. For this,
personality is more potent than
erudition. And Schechter was rich
ly lowered with both. The future
will abundantly prove how he IN
spired his disciples to love Judaism
and seek to know it. Meanwhile,
as time goes on, his memory be-
comes dear and ever dearer to those
who were privileged to have known
him and to have sat at his feet
And as they labor in the vineyard
of the Lord, lovingly champlonlng
their Faith and bringing to the
task Of Jewish development and
conservation all their earnestness,
all their best qualities of heart and
mind, they will be urged on and ever
onward by the potent influence and
the inspiring example of their great
leader, whose memory be blessed.

"REMINISCENCES OF DR. SCHECHTER
To His Yahrzeit.
BY Rabbi G. David Matt

ing to become scripture. But MS
sarcasm spared not even its author,
for, when about to visit the barber
he would say, well, soon you shall
see how half of my greatness will
disappear" Yet all of us felt that
a man who could so frankly speak
of his greatness" has that which
not even a patriarchal appearance
could enhance.
Naturally there was a more ser1-
Gus side to Schechter's personality
that made his lectures verltable
hours of inspiration. Very often
we would emerge from the class
room remembering (forsooth) less
of what had been taught, but more
of the refreshing views Of our mas
ter, on the problems of life. Thus
we became imbued with the con-
cept of Catholic Israel. We were
made to feel that far more important
than the strife of this or that age;
or the manners and customs of any
land or the tendency of any Jewish
''ism" or movement, was the under
lying principle that would endure
when all accidents Of time, place and
personality had fallen away,-thus
learning to realize how much mean
ing the Rabbis of old had crowded
into the dictum "Haberim KOl Yis-
roe1."
DR.. Schechter would admonish us
that the important thing in the
Rabbits work is not how controver
sial he is, but how constructive;
not how often he can flash into the
daily press, but how much studying
and serious thinking he does; not
how large he looms upon his local
horizon, but how much he is doing
to carry on the chain of Jewish ira
dition, and contributing to Israel's
heritage. To him, true Judaism left
little scope for polemics, but be-
spoke sympathetic interest in all
phases of Jewish thought 1t was
because he had such an inclusive
knowledge of Jewish lore that he
had so wide an outlook. And he
was anxious that also his disciples
look with the broadcast sympathy
upon everything jewish
Schechter like most eminent men
was extremely modest. This was
especially noticeable when he spoke
of the Genizah. In the Genizah of
the old Synagogue in Cairo, he had
brought to light literary treasures
seldom known outside of their own
generation, and long deemed lost.
SO much had been added to Jewish

beloved master and friend has been
called to his eternal reward. Much
has happened, during the interim, to
try mems souls, and the trivial in
cidents that once doomed large
enough to obscure the events of real
moment are forgotten. Yet the
abiding, really great facts stand out
in clearer, sharper relief. So it is
with movements; so it is with men.
Hence it is possible to analyze DR..
Schechter's stimulating personality
and to evaluate his influence My
purpose here is not to speak of his
achievements in the world of Jewish
letters, but rather to give few
"reminiscences of that genial person
atty that kept this prince of schol-
ars from becoming mere book
worm, and Of the depth that saved
him from becoming mere racon-
teur.
DR.. Schechter was at all times
genial, keen and witty In his COM
pany one could not spend an unln-
teresting hour. His wit was of that
rare mellowness that combined point
with kindness. He was outspoken
in his opinions, for man who lived
through the inner evolution of
Nineteenth Century: Judaism, and
helped in no unimportant way to
shape it's more recent trend, could
not very we'll be neutral. Hence
the vigor of many of his utterances,
when he spared not those whom he
regarded as undermining Judaism.
Yet always there was the saving
humor, when the discussion waxed
acrimonious,--the epigram or the
'bon mot" just in time to prevent
rancOr.
Added to the never failing humor
was a certain quality of satire that
spared it's author as little as his OPP
ponents. Cynicism, if destructive
and un-reasoning, may become a
source of harm. Satire penetrates
the mask of sham and hypocrisy,
and by aiming it's scintillating shafts
of ridicule at the foibles and follies
of thoughtless generation will
chasten motives and ennoble char
acter. Schechter's was of the latter
type. Thus he would speak of the
scholars who by judicious use Of
reference books over which others
had 1abored gave semblance Of
great learning; or the Bible critics
who, like the authors of the Septu-

her bread to rise, entered the shoddy

His son James smiled crookedly,
with a languid tolerance bespeaking
amusement and contempt.

surance of twenty-five, "but you fell

Knight tried to look forceful, but the
expression did not fit his weak, COM

was an artificial scowl and palpably
false pout. Wearing such front. he
continued: when l say no l mean 1t,

bearing messages of felicitation at the
opening of 1.-THE Revue Of 1913" A
zoologist would have found the display
undressing; but society reporter
would have reveled in the names-and
especially in the sentiments-inscribed
upon the yellow sheets. Some were ad-
dressed to Lorelei knight, others to
Lilas Lynn, her roommate.
Pope found Lorelei completely
dressed, in expectation of his arrival.
She wore the white and silver first-act
costume of the Fairy Princess. Both
she and her mother were plainly nom
plused at the appearance Of their
caller; but Mrs. knight recovered
quickly from the shock and said agree
ably:
"Lorelei was frightened to death at
your message yesterday. She was al
most afraid to let you interview her
Demorest"
Pope shrugged. "Your daughter is
altogether different to the star of the
Palace Garden, Mrs. Knight. Demo
rest trades openly upon her notoriety
and-I don't like bad women. New
York never would have taken her up
if she hadn't advertised as the wicked

she's become the rage, so had to in
clude her in my series of articles. Now,
Miss Knight has made a legitimate
success as far as she has gone"
He turned to the girl herself, who
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty had
brought her, for even at this close
range her makeup could not disguise
her loveliness. The lily had been
painted, to be sure, but the sacrilege
was not too noticeable; the lips were
glaringly red now, but the expression
was none the less sweet and friendly.
There's nothing legitimate about
musical shows" she told him, in reply
to his last remark, "and can't act or
sing or dance as we'll as Miss Demo
rest"
"You don't need to; just let the pub
lie rest its eyes on you and it will be
satisfied--anyhow, it should be. OF
course everybody fiatters you. Has
success turned your head?"
Mrs. Knight answered for her daugh-
ter. "Lorelei has too much sense for
that. She succeeded easily, but she
isn't spoiled"
Then, in response to a question by
Pope, Lorelei told him something of
her experience. Were upstate people,
you know. Mr.. Bergman was looking
for types, and l seemed to suit, so
got an engagement at once. The news
papers began to mention me, and when
he produced this show he had the part
of the Fairy Princess written in for
me. It's really very easy. and don't

mother said, chidingly.
II suppose you're ambitious" Pope
put in.
Again the mother answered. en-

eye on her." The listener inwardly
cringed. "She could be starred easy,
and she will be, too, in another sea-
son."
Pope resented Mrs. Knights share in
the conversation. He did not like the
elder woman's face, nor her voice, nor
her manner. She impressed him as an
other theatrical type with which he
was familiar-the stage mamma. He
eaund himself marveling at the dis
.ilarity Of the two women.
