PRIDE IN BEING A JEW.
Continued from Page 81.


which posts of honor are still denied
US, even though our residence in
those countries dates back many
centuries, even though we have earn
ed such distinctions with our hearts
blood on the battlefields, in the de-
tense. Of those countries. And yet,
despite all the e disadvantages, l
would as little change my faith for
yours as you would change yours for
mine. This is not said in deprecia-
ton Of your faith and people, but in
appreciation of what my faith has
done for my people, and for the
world. You may know something Of
the shame we have been made to feel
for being Jews, but little of the pride
we feel in being descendants Of lib
orators, prophets, lawgivers, bards,
inspired writers and speakers, to
whom half of the civilized world does
homage; descendants Of a people who
have given half Of the Christian
world the Christ God it worsbips, and
the other half her whom it calls the
Mother Of God, to whom it pays d.
vine honors; descendants of a peo-
pie who have proportionately contrib
uted more to the religion, learning
and culture, to the conceptions of
right and justice, of liberty ana law,
Of the civilized world than has any
other people; descendants who not
only pride themselves on what their
fathers have done, but who also en-
deavor to prove themselves worthy
of their ancestry by illustrious
achievements of their own. And IL
the worth of a people is to be Judgeu
by the character it develops, as tree
is judged by its fruit, then let the
comparative paucity OF Jews in pen
itentiaries, reformatories, ineDrlate
asylums, divorce courts and the mul-
titude of them in every field of men,
tai, industrial, commercial, philan-
thropic activity, establish whether
Jews are a superior or an inferior
people"
Loyalty Admired by Quaker and
Catholic.
Both the Quakeress and the Cath
Ollie warmly acknowledged that had
good reason for pride Of faith and
people, reason so valid that were the
people in general intelligent enough
to appreciate who and what the Jew
is and has done, and just enough to
treat him accordingly, they would as
much honor him as many now are
pleased to do him wrong.
In these words Of my two friends
lies the crux Of the whole matter. The
world maltreats the Jew in some
quarters, ostracizes him In other
quarters, charges him with, or sus-
poets him Of, all manners of things
almost everywhere, because its mind
is still under the influence Of the
virus with which it was inoculated
by the fanaticism Of the Dark and
Middle Ages, because is still is igno-
rant Of what the Jew is and has been,
Of what he is doing and has done, and
Of the larger work he probably yet
shall do, for which he has manifestly
been chosen and spared.
Three Kinds of Jews.
Deplorable as this ignorance is, and
responsible as it has been for the long
martyrology Of the Jew, it is more
deplorable still when exhibited by the
Jew himself. Close observation and

those to whom their Jewish birth il
= source Of pride.
Those Who Regard Being Jews q
Misfortune.
The first named is much to be pit
led. Being Jews only by accident of
birth, knowing nothing Of the place
Of honor, which despite ignominy and
persecution, the Jew occupies in the
pages Of history, in the halls Of learn
ing, in the hives Of industry, in the
marts Of trade, in the laboratories and
observatories, in the arts and pro-
fessions, knowing nothing Of the debt
Of gratitude which the prosecutor
himself owes to the Jew, they see but
the disadvantage of what they call
accident Of BIRTH" and try to con-
ceal it, displaying by such attempted
concealment not only their ignorance,
but their cowardice as well.
Those Who Are Indifferent.
The second Of these categories, the
Indifferent class, see no reason either
for being proud of their people or for
being ashamed Of them, care little
whether their people are understood
and appreciated, or misunderstood
and ill-treated, whether their cause
is ably represented, whether the Rab-
bis labors in behalf Of the Jew and
Judaism are supported or unsupport-
ed. Beyond attendance upon cou-
pie Of services during the year, they
recognize no further religious obliga-
ton, and discharge none. II they
have their children instructed in the
religion Of their fathers, that instruc-
ton bears little or no fruit, for the
Indifference Of the parents transmits
itself, before long, to their children.
They are usually anxious to have
their children marry within the fold,
little realizing that, were such sup
port as they give general, the fold
would not keep intact very long.
Those to Whom Being Jews Is a
Source Of Pride.
The last Of the categories named
is, in point of number, probably the
least in point Of intellect and char
acter, however, the highest. 1t rep
resents the aristocracy Of Israel, the
continuation Of that chain Of worthless
Of which the first link was fastened
to the Rock Of Sinai and the last link
Of which will probably be attached to
the Rock of Eternity. This is the
class which the Scripture has named
The Chosen People, and which name
history has more than confirmed.
This is the class which, like its for
bears, sees glory in its sufferings,
sees distinction in martyrdom that
is reserved only for the highest and
best of mankind, only for those who,
espousing great truths, championing
great principles Of right and justice
and liberty, dare to face a world in
arms, dare to suffer and to die, sus-
tanned by the consciousness that,
though felled as malefactors today,
they will be raised as benefactors to-
morrow. though mathematical M
enemies Of God, they will, in due
time, be consecrated as Saviors Of
men. This is the class that whines
not Of suffering, that loses not pa
thence when under tribulation, that
looks upon its Via Dolorosa as the
Road to Triumph.

Woman Aviatrix Shows
Gentle Sex Can Hold
Own in Daring Deeds
BY LOUISE ALLENrAN.

-
The ascent Of a French aviatriX
20 a height Of 21.325 feet. a greater
altitude than any hitherto attained
by a woman. is new evidence that
in courage and enterprise the gentle
sex is well able 10 hold its own
with men. Almost from the begin
ninS women have taken "A prominent
part in aviation and have made in
valuable contributions 10 its develop
ment. They have not only per
formed spectacular feats. but have
worked unostentatiously TO de-
termine the powers OF heavier-than-
air machines for practical as well
as exhibition purposes. They have
made remarkable demonstrations
not only of the airplane's ability 10
climb but also OF its possibilities for
lOng-d distance and nonstop fights.
The women have given a pitifully
large number Of martyrs 10 the de-
velOpment OF aviation. Harriet
Quimby was killed eight years ago
while trying for new altitude
record over Boston harbor. She
was the fourth OF her sex TO meet
death in airplane accidents in the
United States, and since then there
have been additions TO the number.
It is regrettable that women should
consider IL necessary 10 take the
risks involved in seeking 10 perform
new feats and establish new records
in aviation. 1t would be more pleas

Mr.. Prentiss, who takes himself

discovered his pOrtly figure making
