from ignorance, neglect or even pure
malace. These we find in the jails, the
penitentiaries, the houses Of correc-
ton, etc.. The first offense is mild
one, or even no effense at all save
that Of bad company, which leads to
prison and all the boy or man was not
entering, he becomes, as a past masr
ter, before he comes out. The associa-
ton in prison, the sullen resentment
for his incarceration, just or unjust,
all tend to develop hardened crimi-
nal, even though the innocent on his
entrance. To abandon such fallen
brother to his fate and future would
be a greater crime to humanity than
that for which he suffers. It is the
work Of the Social Service Commit
tee to extend the helping hand Of
brotherhood between the bars, into
his cell and bring back to his heart
and soul the spark Of hope for a bet
ter future. Their words of encourage
ment gives him new outlook upon the
life to come and offer him an oppor-
tunity to redeem himself before the
world, and, more important, before
himself. They take him on his release
from prison, re-establish him in his
own self respect, fit him for a useful
occupation and see him well and firmly
established in his new life, success
full citizen, useful man, a faithful
Jew, redeemed. Again I say to you:
What nobler work Of human recon-
struction can be undertaken by an
agency Of humanity?
As a part and parcel Of both Of
these endeavors comes the free edu-
cational institutions throughout the
country: day and night schools for
both children and parents. Not only
must those boys and girls, who are
in danger Of the criminal courts, or
evil de,,.inies; and those men and
women, redeemed from prison; be ed
ucated to better citizenship and more
useful lives, but the huge mass of our
Jewish people in the congested dis
tricts Of our cities and those who may
hereafter immigrate to our land must
be Americanized. Each and every one
Of them, men, women and children
must be taught to read and write the
English Tor preferably the "Ameri-
can") language. This creates better
understanding Of American standards
and better fit9 them for usefulness in
their new home. II also serves to
show them the practicability Of unit
ing American ideas with Jewish ideals
and proves to them that they can live
in truly American environment with
out losing one bit Of their Jewishness.
Thus they become true Americans Of
the Jewish faith, an integral and COM
ponent part Of this great nation Of
Liberty, Freedom and Equality.
Again the Free Loan Societies
throughout the country make It poss-
IDLE for the boy or girl, the man or
woman to ep,ablish himself in a par
ticular line Of work in order to be-
come self supporting and escape the
dread charity" Here a young man
borrows $4,000 to buy his necessary
tools and implements to engage in
the trade Of carpenter, or watch
maker or the profession Of dentist;
here is young lady who borrows $50
to pay her way through a stenograph-
ic course so she may support her wild
owed mother; there ~ a struggling
merchant who borrows $4,000 to get
goods to save his little store from fin

for theirs is an eternal warfare
against the greatest Of all human
vices, ignorance, and its companion,
poverty. For this SOCIAL service work
the B'nai Birth does not ask of its
members their money or their credit.
It Is not your purse that is needed,
but your personality. 1t is something
Of yourself that is needed to carry the
message Of your faith for the better
ment Of your brother Jew; your
thought, your attention, your time. 1t
Is your personal service that is need
ed for this great work of saving hun
dreds and thousands of young men
and women Of our faith from the pit
falls and dark avenues of life sur
rounding them and their unwholesome
environment and placing them where
the influence Of good men and women
can give them a proper standard. It
Is your personal effort, your time and
your thought which is needed to ex-
tend to the fallen brother, who has
erred and come under the punishment
Of the law, to show him that he has
not been abandoned by his God nor his
people, and give him a new star Of
hope for brighter future, that he
may be redeemed to good and useful
citizenship and faithful and loyal Ju-
daism.
My good friends, I wish that had
the time without wearing or your
patience) to 60 somewhat into detail
Of this social D,rvice work and unfold
to you its wonderful scope. This de.
partment Of the B'nai Birth was only
organized in the spring Of 1915, yet
today 1t includes the most important
Of our endeavors. In this work is the
true spirit Of Service to Humanity"
made manifest. The old policy Of the
Order, reprernted by the life insur-
ance, typifying the thought Of self
protection, has given way to the new
idea Of social and spiritual insurance,
IMPLYING the thought of service to
mankind.
The most prominent Of the activi-
ties Of the Social Service Committees
are: Big Brother movement; Prison
Redemption; Free Educational Insti-
tutons; Free Loan Societies. The
purpose Of the Big Brother League is
to take the boy or girl out Of the un-
wholesome environment, give them
the benefit Of proper example and en-
couragement and save them from fol-
lowing the inevitable line Of least re-
sistance which neceasarily leads to the
courts, prisons, lives Of crime and even
worse. Boys who have spent years in
the street, subject to its temptations
and examples, have been taken in
hand, assigned to Big Brothers who
are responsible for them and to whom
they report daily, brought under a
good influence, educated and inNpired
by encouragement and the result, al
most without exception, is a young
man redeemed to usefulness and saved
to Judaism. Again, the girl Of i'm
pressive age seeks companionship and
pleasure, and finds them in good or
bad channels as may be nearest at
hand. She, too, Is taken in hand, CIV
en- q chance to meet respectable, clean
Jewish boys in respectable place Of
amusement, and she, too, is saved to
decency, good womanhood and sacred
motherhood-a credit to the name Of
her faith instead Of a thorn in its
side. This, my friends, is truly saving
