Abraham Lincoln: The

Reviewed by Riehord Fryklund
Carl Sandburg's six-vol-
ume biography of Lincoln was
q milestone in American his
toric writing. Today he has
condensed and rewritten
those six volumes and thus
has brought his almost poetic
prose and his deep feeling for
Lincoln to a wider audience.
The one-volume Lincoln is
in large part q new book.
! Many passages from the orig
inal work have been retained,
but many have been rewrit-
ten and much new material
has been added. The new book
contains almost half as many
words as the original six full
volumes.
Mr.. Sandburg deserves
hearty thanks for this new
portrait of Americas most
human and most saintlike
President.

than a century ago he wrote:
There are at the present time
two great nations in the world,
which started from different
points. but seem to tend to-
ward the same end. I allude
to the Russians and the Amer
leans. The conquests Of
the American are gained
by the plowshare; those of the
Russian by the sword. The
Anglo-American relies upon
personal interest to accomplish
his ends and gives free scope
to the unguided strength and
common sense of the people;
the Russian centers all the au-
thority Of society in a single
arm. The principal instrument
OF the former is freedom; of
the latter, servitude. Their
starting-p point is different and
their courses are not the same:
yet each of them seems mark
ed out by the will of Heaven
to sway the destinies of half

Generally. the veteran will be ex-

In Rabbi Wise's terrestrial time
among us, Reform was almost al
together of the early German
Jews in our town. The Orthodox
then were worshipping in store
rooms that had been converted
into synagogues or in the upstairs
of dance halls. After the inami-
grants had settled in the tene-
ment houses they made haste to
rent place for God.
In that time Reform already
had two gorgeous temples here;
these edifices were a whole
American lifetime away from The
humble places of the Orthodox.
On Yom Kippur even the ushers
in the temple were all in dress
suits.
But the face of Jewish life in
our town has changed much since
then. The membership Of the Re-
form temples consists now largely
of the children and grandchildren
of the later Orthodox immigrants
who came over in the sos and

The old German Reformers are
nearly all gone and their descend.

country: though there is still a

came out of Orthodoxy have
brought to Rabbi, Wise's temple
some of the warmth of old Ortho-
dox ways in which they were
brought up. Boys 90 through the
bar mitxvah ritual there. In Rab-
bi Wise's time bar mitzvah was
abolished and the confirmation
service was substituted. In Wise's
temple kiddush now is recifed in
the Sabbath eve service and the
rabbi tastes from the cup of wine.
They observe the special Sab
baths of tradition and the kids Of
the Sabbath school bring nickels

In Israel. rabbi Wise himself
was anti Zionist.)
At times we like to consider the
great good name the Jews of our
town made by reason of Wise's
teaching. They have been lead
ing citizens prominent in the
civic affairs and on the decent
side of politics. To be good and
effective citizens was of his
teaching; he taught Judaism
that must express himself in all
that's good for the common life.
