\ MINISTER'S TRIBUTE TO JEWS

In a recent sermon delivered in the
Presbyterian Church of Michigan City.
Ind, the Rev. DIR. Frederick Z. Hop
liins paid Il splendid tribute to the
Jews, recounting their services to their
country where they were given oppor-
tunity, as well as to literature, science
and art. He said in part:
"A religious people are always de-
serving, and the Jews are religious. y
cultured people are always deserving,
and as we have shown the Jews are
cultured. a brave people are always
deserving, and right amongst us 2OO,-
900 have shown themselves brave on
land and sea. A generous people are
always deserving, and the Jews in
every time of need have shown them
selves generous. An Industrious peo-
pie are always deserving and the Jews
are industrious. A patient and for
bearing people are always. deserving,
and under strong provOcatiOn the Jew
has kept his temper. A pence-lovinS
people are deserving and the Jew keeps
the peace. A people that take care
of their own and seldom ask favors
are deserving people. and the Jews
take splendid care of their own. and
when before have they asked any
thing of us? In all our lives how
many beggars have called at our doors
who were Jews? Personally we can
not remember one. a thrifty people
are a deserving people. and the Jew
is certainly thrifty. He will thrive
and get into comfortable circumstances
where multitudes of gentiles would
go to the poor house or grOan con
tagiously and everlastingly about his
hard luck. 1t is notorious, that when
it comes to the costs of distributing
charity, the Jews can get more out of
a dollar at less expense than any 9TH
er people in the world. What it may
cost to distribute the S35,00O,OO0 they
hope to raise for these sufferers will
look so small that if it was Of cred
to some of the. profiteers who became
so suddenly wealthy out of fat army
contracts. they would push it away in
scorn and consider themselves insult

THE CAUSE OF SPAIN

Blasco Ibanez, famous Spanish nov
tiist now touring the United States,
brands as ridiculous the oft repeat
cd assertion that the Inlnisition and
constant wars are responsible for the
present condition of his native land.
Whether Novelist Ibanez agrees or
not the fact remains that the brutal
bigotry and the fanaticism which
characterized the religious" policy in
augurated in Spain during the reign of
Ferdinand and Isabella, are directly
responsible for that monarcliys decay.
In 1892 Jews of Spain were driven
into exile Within the century mat
followed began a series of national
reverses and catastrophes. But the
vicious policy inauguratcd in the gold
en-" age of Ferdinand and Isabella
was not abated. 1t was continued
with zeal and in 1909 the bigot crew
that was throttling Spain ordered the
expulsion of the MoorS. The departure
OF the new victims of the religion of
love hastened the process of decay
which had begun with the expulsion
of the Jews in 1892, and Spain sank
to its present level.
These are the facts. The soothing
of ten thousand Spanish novelists can
not. alter them. Spain cannot efface
that record by denying and displtin.s
ITS existence.
A complete reversal of lis narrow.
intolcrant Dark Age attitude: the
adoption and absorption of all modern
day influences which make for hui
man tolerance and human brotherhood
these are the things that will cause
the world to forget the old Spain of
TorIuemada and Ferdinand and to
welcome n new, enlightened. chasten-
cd and humanized SPAIN of the era
of progress and civiliZation.-.Iewish
independent.
