Yea, the House OF Llfe'," an
swered Lopez. "Your people
speak of the Jews as unbelievers
because they do not subscribe to
the Christian creed Of resurrec-
ton. Yet we believe also; even
in our darkest moments when we
give back what we love to the
dust, still do we praise the Lord
of the whole earth and acknowl-
edge His wisdom. And so sure is
our Jewish hope of life eternal
that we call our last resting place,
not the Tomb, but the House of
Life"
The merchants keen face grew
wistful, his eyes wandered abb
sently over the tombstones with
their Hebrew inscriptions. 81 am
not the least of my brethren in
this town." he said with sort of
simple pride, "and that is no little
thing now that we number over
eleven hundred souls, more Jews
than dwell in any other of the
colonies. I am the owner of
thirty vessels engaged in trade
with Europe and the West Indies.
do not boast idly when I say
that | and a number of my breth-
rem have done much to add to the
material wealth of this town with
Our trading, Our whale fisheries,
our mandatory of sperm oil and
candles we Jews of Lisbon did
ourselves introduce here. Nor is
it the least of my pride that my
wealth has ever been at the call
of the sick and the fatherless and
all those in distress"
"Both Jew and Christian" sup
plemented the clergyman warmly.
Like Job of old you have fed
the hungry and clothed the
Naked"
"Yea, I am respected by my
people and yours" answered
Lopez. "Instead of life under the
terrors of the inquisition I know
peace and plenty in this place
which has been so hospitable to
my unhappy race that your own
Cotton Mather has called Rhode
Island. "The common receptacle
of the convicts of Jerusalem and
the outcasts of the land" So T
have tried to show my gratitude
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-07-15

Paradise should not be denied
such upright men as you and your
brethren of Newport, even if you
still continue to deny the One
who came to save your race as
we'll as the whole world"
Aaron Lopez smiled almost in
diligently at his clerical friends
earnestness. "There is truth in
the old fable of the sun and the
wind" he remarked. "Although
the fires of persecution which
blazed about my brethren in
Spain and Portugal and drove us
to these friendly shores did not
burn away our stubborn disbelief,
the warmth of such good Chris
tians as Roger Williams and you
is far more likely to melt away
our hardness of heart-of which
our own prophets have so often
spoken" His eyes SO shrewdly
keen, grew strangely wistful.
"Some day many of our brethren
will forsake the faith of their
fathers and in the freedom of the
new world forget how in the old
they died that Israel might live"
He brushed his lace befrilled hand
across his eyes as though brush
ing aside an unfortunate vision.
"But in that day you and I, good
friend, will be sleeping, each in
his own House of Life and the
trees that rustic above Our head
stones will whisper only happy
tales to our ears
""The House of Life'H the
minister repeated doubtfully. "I
do not understand. H.
The two in the course of their
walk had strol1ed to the entrance
Of the Jewish cemetery where al
ready slept certain sons and
daughters of Israel who had
crossed the wide seas to rest at
last in a land their fathers never
knew. 1t was peaceful place
that bright spring morning, the
stiffness broken only by the chirp
of nest-building birds, the gates
unguarded by those stately por-.
tails which Judah Touro, that
Jewish merchant of large fortune
and generous heart, was yet to-
build as a gift to the city of his
birth.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-07-15

to you of another faith who have
dealt so kindly with me and mine.
Perhaps some day I may be able
to do more" he added, never
dreaming of the sacrifices he and
other patriots would soon be
called upon to make for the lib
erty-seeking colonies. Surely, /
should be right happy
mo man should be more CRATE
full for all the good things that
have come to him." agreed Ezra
Stiles.
Aaron Lopez laughed and there
was a hint of mockery in his
laughter. "There is a legend
among my people that we must
fill a huge urn with our tears
before OUR Messiah comes to re-
deem us, he said. "Perhaps that
is why we Jews are given to
weeping over-much-that we may
each contribute our share of the
tears. Maybe that is why, al
though God gives us courage in
days of darkness, we mistrust the
little Joy He sends us and fear
even in Our greatest gladness. AS
! explained to you when you
wondered why a glass was shat
tered when you attended the we'd
ding of one of my nieces last
month. For even when we
rejoice with the bride and bride
groom we mourn the shattered
fortunes of Our Jerusalem and
our scattered people.
So, perhaps, it is not strange
that I, being a Jew, am some
times so gloomy even in the
midst of my prosperity. For who
knows when the darkness may
fall upon us of Israel? How can
we ever hope to be at rest. even
in this place of goodwill and
neighbor1y peace, till we rest for
ever in our House of Life?
"Is it seemly to doubt the
Providence of your God" the
minister asked him a little stern
ly.
Aaron Lopez turned away from
his scrutiny of the low tomb
stones. his eyes somber with
brooding. ''I do not doubt the
God of Israel, blessed be His
Name" he answered. 81 say only
that He who has blessed my peo-
pie and yours with peace and
plenty may some day withhold
His blessings. Therefore do l
say that the only happy ones are
those who sleep forever in the
House of Life, for neither storm

Two men walked slowly up the
shady streets of Newport in the
early days of the bustling sea-
port town. In those untroubled
times before the Revolution, New
port far surpassed New York as
a commercial center and was
fair rival to other New England
ports. And even those who had
often sneered at Roger Williams
colony for taking in such scum
as Quakers and Jews were forced
to confess that it was Jewish gold
brought from Spain and Portugal,
husbanded and increased by Jew.
ish sagacity, that had helped to
fill the fair harbor with trading
vessels, bound to the uttermost
ends of the earth.
The two who walked together
under the broad spreading trees
presented strong contrast. The
Reverend Ezra Stiles in his c1eri-
cal garb with his subdued voice
and measured walk was fine ex-
ample of what has long been
known as the New England
type'-a Yankee, born and bred.
The learned president of Yale
College was a worthy descendant
of those scholars and gentlemen
whose scholarly attainments and
high ideals helped to lay the foun-
dations of our republic. The man
who walked at his side was short
er, somewhat stocky in figure,
swarthy as a Spdniard. who sup
p1emented his rapid. colorful
speech, with quick, vivid gestures,
strangely foreign in the quiet sea
coast town. 1t took only glance
to tell that something other than
ties of blood and race cenented
the friendship, between the Rev
erend Ezra Stiles and his fellow.
townsman, Aaron Lopez.
81 had a strange dream about
you, Mr.. Lopez" said the min
ister, as they paced slowly to-
eether, talking of many things.
'Last night I dreamed I died and
though I stood in the courts of
Heaven I felt strangely sad and
said to the angel who had brought
we there: will I not be lonely
here after all. even though I Join
