SAGA OF THE SEA

Courage shown by their comrades
in critical moments will always re-
main an inspiration to the men of
the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps,
who even in peace times face the
hazards of their profession with the
same self-sacrifice and devotion to
duty they exhibit when in the heat
of battle.
Modern science and the use of
safety devices have by no means
eliminated all the risks which naval
men must take, as witness the sub
marine, aviation and other disas-
tiers which flash for brief mo-
ment in the public prints and soon
are forgotten.
Such a disaster struck the U. S. S.
Wyoming in February, 1887, when
an explosion occurred just as five
inch shell was being loaded into the
breech of a gun, killing an officer
and six enlisted men of the Marine
Corps. Her crew was stunned by
the tragedy. The vessel returned
from its war maneuvers to Long
Beach, where both the dead and in
jured were removed to the hospital
ship Relief.
Almost before the echoes of the
explosion had died away, several
incidents emphasized the calibre of
the men who serve aboard our war
ships. A chief gunner's mate seized
bag of powder from a blinded
loader and hurled it out of the case
mate away from the danger of heat
or sparks.
The less seriously wounded ma
rines insisted that their comrades
be given first aid before anything
was done to ease their own suffer-
ings. A splendid example of self
denial was furnished by the dying
Marine Captain, Edward ]. Trum-
BILE who, needless of his own fatal
injuries, said: Get a doctor for the
men. I'm afraid they're hurt"
The long roll of similar incidents,
which have illuminated the pages
of naval history since the days of
John Paul Jones, prove that the ma
ton may be well proud of its men
who go down to the sea in ships.

OLD LAWSUIT ENDED

One of the most famous cases in
the annals Of Montana jurispru-
dence has ended. The Burgess-Las-
by 15-year old lawsuit has been set
tied. The case began in 1924 when
c. N. Burgess, then senator from
Broadwater county, sued Lasby,
Townsend druggist, to recover a
ranch sold for $4,000 under a con-
ditional sales contract. Thirteen dis
trict judges, % supreme court JUS
tees and legions of attorneys wor-
ried over the mix-up before it was
finally settled by a federal referee
in bankruptcy, Burgess got his
ranch back and more than the $780,
900 he asked for it. Lasby still has
his drugstore.

speak of them in the same way
as we do of Israel's election
Israel felt the election consciously
even early in its history, realizing
it's task the moment it realized the
grandeur of its possession. Israel
was not to enjoy the comforts OF
the superior nation physically, but
had to assume a grave duty and
responsibility. They were to be-
come a kingdom Of priests and
holy people.
However, Israel, although ac-
quiring a mission, did not establish
missions in the accepted sense, nor
did it send forth missionaries to
teach the unbeliever. Israel was
content to consecrate every Jew as
a priest who was bound to teach
by his own blameless life serving
as an example. His role as watch
man of Jewish ideals demanded
that they be carried out faithfully
so that trusting humanity may
gaze and behold the lofty and no
BILE precepts preserved by him.
That Israel in the past has fulfill
ed her obligation to humanity can
be readily seen with the civiliza-
ton Of the Western world which
has been largely influenced by
Jewish thought, through the chan
nels of its daughter religions,
Christianity and Mohammedanism.
That there are certain forces
fighting against Judaism today is
nothing else than revolt against
those ideals which have contribut-
ed greatly to the acquisition of all

Waterman, What OF The Night?
By Rabbi Sidney M. Bogner, Temple Israel
of Daytona Beach, Fla.
A NEW YEARS MESSAGE

PRAYER as follows: Thou hast
chosen us from all peoples, thou
hast loved us and taken pleasure
in us, and hast exalted us above
all tongues, thou hast sanctified
us by the commandments and
brought us near thy service. o
our King, thou hast called us by
thy great and holJ name" We
find that this prayer has its found
atoms in Biblical verse. only the
Lord had a delight in thy fathers
to love them, and he chose their
seed after them, even you, as it is
this day." (Deut. 1919 For
thou are a holy people unto the
Lord thy God, and the Lord hath
chosen thee to be his own treasure
out of all the peoples that are on
the face of the world" (Deut. 14.2.
For the Lord taketh pleasure in
His people, He adorneth the hum
BILE with salvation" psalm 1922.
This idea, of Gods love for Israel
and His selection Of them as His
servants and guardians of His
Word, has conditioned and shaped
Jewish thought and action
throughout the centuries. Israel
has often been called peculiar
r'cople, peculiar in the sense that
it never violated the trust placed
in it, although the alternative Of
ten held out the tempting lure of
a life of ease and mundane happi-
ness. Oftime their steadfastness
caused them untold hardships.
But they remained ever loyal to
the holy mission entrusted to
item. They kept the flag of hu-
mainly waving in the thickness of
the battle.
The belief in the election of
Israel rests on the conviction that
the Jewish people have certain
superiority over the peoples of the
earth in being qualified to serve
as the messenger of religious truth
and to champion its cause. But
how has Israel been peculiar in
this sense? In a measure all great
peoples have felt that they were
divinely called for great mussion
and responsibility in life; Rome to
spread its message of peace" and
law; and Greece to discriminate
the knowledge and the power of
the aesthetic in life, Yet we cannot

Gathered in their Houses of
Worship, Jews throughout the
world are assembled to usher in
the New Year. In prayer and in
praise, in meditation and in re-
pentance do they lift their voices
to the Ruler on High before whom
their deeds pass in judgment,
pleading, praying, penitent. The
climax to this service is the blow
ing of the rams horn, the sobbing
Shofar, arousing the Jewish soul,
as the b'lgle arouses the soldier,
to it's duty. Just as the Waterman
takes his cue to stand guard, so
does every Jewish soul prepare
itself on this day to mount guard
before the world and assume its
responsibility collectively with
it's kindred souls, to stand watch
over and guard those possessions
placed in it's trust, those ideals
which have given heart and di-
rection to the progress of civil
zation.
Rosh Hashonah comes to us,
then, as a day set aside for this
important and holy duty. The
Rabbinic belief in Israel's election
as Gods Waterman, termed by the
Rabbis as the Chosen People"
finds it's clearest expression in a
