day brings con-
demnations from some bigoted
and prejudiced person who
claims that Jews are a menace
to American institutions. Is it
not time that thinking people re-
fute such damaging falsehoods !?
Incident to the discovery of
America, the money provided for
the purpose did not come from
the sale of Queen Isabella's
jewels, as the historical myth
records it, but from the Jews.
Gabriel Sanchez and Luis San
tangel, two Jewish financiers
contributed the funds to equip
the expedition which was to
prove haven of refuge for their
prosecuted co-religionists. These
two men were the first to receive
reports from Columbus of his
discovery. The most authentic
records of Spain attest this fact.
The King and Queen of Spain
were then residing in Barcelona
where these letters were later
sent. Immediately upon his re-
turn, Columbus came there and
was received with much pomp
and splendor. With the explorer
were a Jewish interpreter and
physician. The first man to set
foot on the soil of the New
World was a Jew.
Some of the earliest settlers in
South America were Jews and as
early as 1865 they settled in New
York though they met with
strong opposition from the mar
row-minded old Dutch governor.
Fortunately, however, for the
Jews and for America as well,
his attempts were in vain. Since
then, New York, the greatest
metropolis in the world, has be-
come the center of Americas
Jewish population.
Only thru the aid of Hyam
Solomon, when the colonists
arose against the unjust rule of
England, did they attain their
liberty. 1t was thru his finan-
cial backing that the war ended
victoriously for them.
1t must be admitted that
among the Jews there may be
found some unprincipled per-
sons. But why confine this ad-
mission to single race? Do we
not find them in every race?
When we come in contact with
such people of our own nation
ality, who probably are respon-
.sible to degree for sowing the
seeds of contempt, it is our pat
ernal duty to admonish and edu-
cate them to their rightful state.
The Jews have stood by the
nation at it's beck and call and
always will remain loyal to its
principles. Though they have
struggled hard in the face of
seemingly unsurmountable OBJ
stacles, they become more and
more imbued with the true
American spirit.

HdlTGuS, There Is nOtIlliiS III any
of the many religious teachings
that is either Objectionable of
any other belief or contradictory
to any scientific discovery.
They all must keep step with
the advance of civilization if
they expect to survive. Neither
persecution nor murder in the
name of any God conception will
ever unity this world. There al
ways will be many roads to lead
to the same goal, and to force
the whole world to travel the
same path would only hamper
our progress.
The situation is admirably IL
lustrated by Gotthold Ephraim
Lessing's Nathan, the Wise
Man."
Nathan, a Jew, is hailed before
the sultan who demands:
"You are a wise man. Tell me
the difference between the three
religions = Christian, Moham-
medan and jewish"
Nathan replies that he will
tell a story which will give the
answer and the story. in sub
stance is this:
Once upon time there was
a father who had three sons
whom he loved equally well. 1t,
was the custom fer the favorite
son to succeed his father, upon
the latter's death as the head of
the family. There was a ring
which was the sign of the leader
ship.
This father, secretly, caused
two duplicates TO be made of the
ring. The duplication was so per-
feet that after the real ring had
been put with the limitations,
there was none who could tell
which was real and which was
counterfeit.
"At the approach of death,
the father called his sons to his
bedside and bestowed a ring up
on each of the three. After his
death, the sons engaged in a dis
pute as to which was the head
of the family. The quarrel was
carried into the courts.
''The judges could not de-
termine which of the three rings
was the one inherited by the
father from his father. And so
they ruled:
" Your father loved you equal
ly well. He was unable.to decide
which he loved the better and
for that reason he caused to be
made these counterfeit rings so
neither of you could say you had
been selected as his favorite son.
Since your father could not
choose between you, return
home, reign together and peace
be with YOU"
1t is peculiar that the good
things of life are so quickly for
gotten and that all the hatreds
are perpetuated in the most pre-
posterous way. Few people have
ever heard this simple little
story and of those who have
heard it, most have forgotten.
You wonder why the good is
so soon erased from memory and
the bad so indelibly impressed :?
1t is because of mans narrow
mindedness. 1t is because the
/ human race is still undeveloped.

FYHE worlds work is never

b. CICTOR NEUHAUS

He WOrlQ work is never
finished. Like the planet
i itself which is constantly
developing, charging and shift
ing, so must everything that is
on it be governed by the same
law. No matter what stage of
perfection we may imagine we
have reached there always will
be room for Improvement and
there always will be new fields to
conquer.
There is not a business, there
is not a profession, there is not
a handicraft nor an art to which
we may not add constantly.
There is nothing absolutely fixed
in this world. Any theory or
thought which presumes an un-
changing stability of any sort
forms a wrong basis from which
we can only come to wrong con-
clusions.
To the ignorant, the knowl-
edge of this truth may be dan
gerous, and the average man
may be no more able to face it
than he is to look into the bright
sunlight. We, therefore, have
always preferred to live in the
shadows of a little knowledge
shadows of little knowledge
rather than to bark in the bright
lifht of science.
But, unconsciously. we realize
there is something beyond and
the distorted conceptions of a
heaven and a hell have been the
We are no more than
children. We know next to
of the world in which we
live. Like the child, we fear the
and we clothe it with
the hideous trappings of an in
ferno or the gorgeous glitter Of a
pagan paradise.
All our conceptions of our en-
vironment are distorted, result
ing in restlessness that must
lead eventually to disaster and
destruction unless we learn a lit
tie more of our true relations to
the forces of nature. And this
knowledge cannot be acquired
until we are ready and willing to
emancipate ourselves from the
superstitious ignorance of the
past.
Only when Science and Re-
ligion will travel side by side, on
ly when our conception of deity
will have become so great, our
belief so sure that no new dis
covery of any branch of science
can shake or dethrone it any
more only then will we have
made a beginning toward ra-
tional thinking. Wonderful prog
ress will be the result.
AS there is no harmony with
out discord, as there is no light
without shadows, so there is no
perfection attainable without
faults.
The world has not advanced
morally for the reason that we
are reluctant to admit God-like
thoughts could be conceived by
a mortal. We forget that the con-
ception of the Deity itself of the
majority of the people, is in
reality immoral or of such low
standard it does not even meas
ure up to the attributes of an or
dinary good man.
