HIS GIFTS PLUS HIS COMFORT
Don’t put us down as soothsayers-.-

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AND THE JEWS
T HE inriebtednesti of human society
to the Hebrew race In by no
means restricted to the creedal
doctrines of the revealed religion. If
the sheer trnth must be told In Oath,
this Inventory alone Is sufficient to ex
haust the assets and to mortgage the
affections of the whole civilized world
for all time to come. Moreover, it
makes the Gentile debtor to the Irael-
Ite for larger supplies of richer manna
than the Israelite himself ever gathered
In the wilderness.
Rut the history of ancient Palestine
contains only the first Installment of
the obligation. Resides autographing,
transcribing and preserving the sacred
Scriptures under divine - Inspiration,
furnishing the theater for the Blbllcul
drama, and supplying the ancestral
homesteads from which Judaism. Chris-
Runlty and Mohammedanism have
♦•merged, the Jews have galvanized the
secular activities of all the four conti-
hent.x, set the puce for human progress
m all the diversified arts and Indus
tries and multiplied the achievements
of Joseph, the Hebrew, upon an hun
dred Egyptian thrones. $
Whenever an extravagant statement
is made or an Ignorant opinion Is en
tertained, It Is only necessary to ad
dress the custodian of the records. In
the primal command of-the old Penta
teuch: "Let there be light." To es
tablish the truth of the proposition laid
down there files Into the court room a
host of dignified witnesses, each of
whom represents a sphere of activity
whoso belt Is an equator. The world
of politics presents Henjumln Dis
raeli, the earl of Beaconsfleld. The
world of finance names Baron de Roths,
child. The world of literature cites
Israel Zangwlll. The world of music
chants Mendelssohn. The world of
philanthropy proclaims Montcffore and
Hlrsch.
But some one may demur that the
names above mentioned are exceptional
and do not lay the world under any
tribute to the race at large. The fact
Is admitted, but not the Inference.
Shakespeare and Milton and Homer
and Napoleon and Galileo and Newton
and Raphael and Washington were
also exceptions, but exceptions which
portrayed the genius of nations and
embodied the spirit of epoch*.
However/ If the canvass Is too large
It is only necessary to localize the urea
of discussion. The law grounds furnish
quite as good a field for tho study of
Hebrew character as the tops of the
mountains; but the change of venue
may be prefaced with the statement
that Jews are seldom found In dead
communities. Dike the arteries of the
human body, they move toward the
vita! t enters. They are In no wise to
be Identified with the Insects which
multiply In putrefaction and fatten upon
decay; and, If they are to be classed
among the Insects at all, they must be
assigned to the coral builders which
labor neither In stagnant pools nor In
noisome eddies, but which, down In
the ocean solitudes, lay secure beams
and lift substantial fabrics amid the
very fountains of the troubled deep.
It is the surest sign of wholesome
life In uny community that It can
boast of at least one typical descend
ant of the thrifty Jacob. He registers
the existence of the quickening pulse.
But he comes to make the money which
his presence advertises; and, without
LUCIAN L. KNIGHT.
Invoking any particular favor, he opens
his work shop on the corner, and soon
begins to flourish like the hillside ce
dars of his own forest of Lebanon. In
the hardest of times he ban money to
lend, If not to burn; and before ho Is
ready to execute his will he owns tho
grocery store, the nysat market, the
grog shop, the planing mill, the news
paper, the hotel and the bank.
But the larger towns and cities serve
better the purposes of Illustration. In
all the thorough-going centers the Jews
are found In great multiples. They ure
money makers to such an extent that
tho rollcall of the whole Hebrew
population can be made from the tax
books. They may be shrewd In driv
ing bargains, but they are open-handed
In sustaining public charities, In en
couraging liberal arts,- In cultivating
pure morals and In patronizing whole
some entertainments. The reason why
others do not compete with the Jews
In matters of trade may be due less to
Instincts than to Ideas.
Besides bearing considerably more
than an average share of the burdens
of government. It la an' unvarnished
statement of fact that no race of peo
ple on the globe are voluntarily more

The women of Israel are proverbially
chaste. They keep their households in
order, their children In obedience and
their husbands In respect. Tl\e ob
servance of the Mbtfalc ‘IStfr has given
the Jews remarkable Immunity from
bodily ailments and afflictions. They
usually enjoy good health, cheerful
spirits, hearty appetites and long lives.
Rascals are sometimes found among
the Jews. But "the lost sheep of the
house of Israel" are not more numer
ous than the errant waifs which have
wandered from other* folds. The Jew
Is not perfect; but neither was Adam
who lived before Abraham and who
bequeathed the Inheritance of original
sin to the entire output of his loins,
without any clause of reversion or en-
tallment In favor of the twelve tribes.
And while the Jewa make no pretense
of’following the Nazarene, they at Lust
respect Him as a propltet and a teach-
* or;* and many of them are practically-
better Christians than those of blatant
prayers .and .broad phylacteries whose
false dlsclpleshlp Is worse than nomi

framing«the accents which profess the,
faith, are printing the kisses which he-'

Whether tested by the carpenter's;
tape-line or the chemist’s retort, tha<
claims of the Hebrew race to arlsto-.
cratlc distinction must be universally*
*a1lbw>d.’ The tables of descent upon
which tho Jews rely for proof of re-j
mote antiquity reach back to the tn-i
b!e» of stone which bore the Decalogue.,
Beside such an ancient scroll tho mostj
patrician document which the OentUel
