lands. Though a grown up young
man when he landed on our shores,
he soon learned to become among the
foremost and most honored Amer
leans. Though Of foreign origin, he
steadily grew in the esteem Of the
greatest and best of our land as an
equal Of, If not superior to, many of
their own exalted company. For de-
cades he was regarded as a leading
public man to whom many looked for
counsel and advice in the great ques-
tions Of American policy and public
movements. As we review his career
we marvel at the powers Of adapta-
tion made possible by American life
and institutions, and at the folly Of
agitation aiming to close our gates
to all immigrants.
His life also is a challenge to the
selfish and those lacking in public
spiritedness and responsiveness to
the welfare Of others. He taught us
that no matter how active life one
may lead, no matter how one may be
engrossed in great commercial or fl
nancial enterprises, one may yet find
time for active participation in the
common veal and the good OF 9th
ers. He was a challenge to all those
who live for themselves alone. Here
we have a great public man who gave
his time, Lis thought and his means
to many public causes and institu.
tions. Here we behold a man Of great
affairs devoting his talents and pow
ers to variety Of religious, ele-
mosynary and philanthropic agencies,
though his time was so valuable. His
career is a plea to all Of US to get
out Of our shell Of selfishness and
become identified to the extent Of
our power with the needs Of society
at large.
And, thirdly, his life clearly indi-
Gates that Identification with Jewish
life and endeavor is no mar to good
citizenship He is a splendid example
Of the good citizen and the thorough
ly loyal Jew. Is this not an appeal
near home for greater devotion TO
our cause, teachings and traditions :!
Here we see a great financier and
man Of large public affairs, one reck-
oned with as a powerful influence In
many spheres Of endeavor, finding
time to visit the synagog regularly
and to identify himself with Its work
and its aims. What a lesson to oui
Indifferent and lukewarm Jews wa,
this Prince Of Israel, who was evel
serving the cause Of his coreligion
lists, and lived the life Of Jew!
And lastly, Schiff taught US IN
most valuale Of lessons that we ar
but stewards Of the blessings we pos
sess. All we have and all we owI
are given US wisely to dispose 70
the benefit Of our fellow-men. Ma
lives not unto himself. The selfis
life Is no life at all. The artist cor
scious Of his appreciation Of the beat
tiful and sublime, must express b
genius in a manner that will CIV

JACOB HENRY SCHIFF::
An Appreciation

prosper in his new home, he displa, Y
at once his powers Of mind and heart
and diverse native endowments for
many interests and activities. He
soon became the leading banker, the
splendid citizen, the public-spirited
American and noble Jew.
Thus it is not the rich man that
we mourn, because there are other
men of wealth in our body polite.
Nor do we chiefly mourn the great
philanthropist, because there are
other benevolent men, both Jews and
Gentiles, in our great country. Surely
we do not lament the demise Of the
shrewd financier, though his influ-
ence in finance, commerce and polit-
cal life made him a power for good
to be reckoned with. But we do sor-
row for the loss Of the great citi-
zen, whose personality, ability and
fine influences we so greatly miss as
to make his death almost an ire
parable loss. We miss the man VINO
gave Of his best to his fellow-citi5ens
Of all creeds. We grieve over his de-
mise because he devoted his life and
his brilliant powers TO his fellow
men, both Jews and Gentiles alike.
Absorbed as he was in great bust
ness undertakings and international
finance, yet he found ample time to be
the extraordinarily useful member Of
society and equally active in behalf
Of Jews and Judaism. He found suf-
ficient leisure to become thoroughly
identified with many public move
ments and Jewish activities.
Accordingly he was the fine type Of
public man zealously laboring for the
public veal and eagerly striving for
those measures that would tend to
promote social conditions. President
Wilson correctly spoke Of him in his
message Of coincidence "as a most
useful citizen Weighty matters Of
public concern occupied his attention
To them he gave his heart and mind
and whatever powers he possessed
His wise counsel was ever sought, and
he did not refrain from giving It, u
thereby II might lead to the solution
Of the perplexing problems Of the
day. He spoke and wrote on ques
tions Of public interest as the sag'
and statesman, seeking to promote
the well-being Of his city, state an'
nation, as well as international com
ity.
He was frequently spoken Of as tn
wise philanthropist. That he certain
ly was. His benevolence knew n
bounds. II was many-sided becaus
he possessed to remarkable degre

"a ith Of vision. He helped all,
y and Gentiles alike. But what
is even greater and better is the fact
that he gave himself. He more than
bestowed aims. He contributed his
personal efforts to the management
and administration Of a variety of
institutions ministering to public
needs. He was personally identified
with many philanthropes to which !e
gave his time and thoght. He did
not spare himself, as he did not with
hold his means. And every one found
in him a sympathetic listener, re-
gardless Of the remoteness of the
cause for which his aid was asked and
received.
And he was equally great as an
American. Though Of foreign birth,
he was heart and soul for the country
Of his adoption. Our American in
stitutions and life he dearly cherished.
To his new land he was bound with
cords of love. He labored for the
best interests Of America, and stood
among the first and foremost spon-
sors Of American ideals. Everywhere
he was regarded as great American,
as IL his cradle stood in the land OF
the free.
Perhaps we may speak Of him with
greater emphasis from this place and
at this hour as the noble Jew, whose
heart throbbed with Jewish feeling
and fervor, keenly alive to Jewish
needs and obligations. He belonged
to the liberal wing Of Judaism, and
supported and helped 1t with all his
might. But he also appreciated the
benefits of Orthodoxy, realizing the
valuable features Of conservative Ju-
daism. Nothing Jewish was alien to
MN. lie was tnc SouhschVi w va
wings and shades Of Jewish life and
Interpretation. And what might be
Of great interest and emulation Is
the fact that, great man OF affairs
and American that h was, he was ac-
lively identified with the synagog
and attended services regularly. He
was firm in his Jewish conviction
cherishing the faith Of his fathers
proud Of it, and glorifying in its gran
deur
Such life furnishes many valuable
lessons to us all. We may ponde
them. They will give US food TO
thought. As we analyze his many
sided career we wonder why the pc
riodic agitation against the foreign
er, and the steady propagand
against immigration. Schih Is
powerful reply to the prelude
against those hailing from othc
