when we realize that it is the seat of

people have waited even so long be

May he be given strength to fulfill

THE JEWISH HERALD
placing Judaism on the high piano high to a return to duty and thought
that should bo maintained fulness Let selfishness end and tho
history of our people bo carried on
In referring to the New Year we ward and forward to the everlasting
added a plea for a more thoughtful credit of worthy successors of those
interest in all that pertains to the wel who handed down to us a history and
faro of our people and at a time when traditions and with confidence march
hearts filled with gladness we turned forward holding high tho banner of
from the portals of our houses of wor Judaism
ship extending our blessings and good Russia has again witnessed the
wishes upon our fellowman should lenvy hand 0f assassination and while
certainly be a time for reflection and
yet should it be overlooked then on
October 1 as the shades of evening
fall and once again tho great heart of
Jewry turns to its houses of God to
offer up prayer for the purification of
the soul a proper moment is offered
for thought a time when abstaining
from food to more thoroughly concen
trate the mind in meditation with
hearts filled with prayer earnest and
sincere a day of fasting prayer and
meditation and drawing ourselves
more closely to Him who on high
guides our destiny In such hours
when the soul is filled with pity and
giving ourselves over to a plea for
forgiveness for our sins and those we
hold dear Surely if the smiles and
cheerfulness of the New Year have
not brought to us a resolution for the
performing of our duty if the New
Year has not called us to account for
lack of interest and activity then in
deed should Yom Kipper services
reach deeper and bring us to a true
understanding of ourselves
On every side we hear the mocking
cry of those nations where suffering
and horror are a part of the daily rou
tine On every hand we find an abun
dant field for workers who with will
tho facilities for handling the immi
grant and in a small way doing their
share toward a persecuted and down
trodden people On every hand we
find men and women needed real men
and women to relieve the burden cast
on th shoulders of a few Where oh
where is the Jewish spirit of yore
Where are the men and women who
should be carrying on the work of
giving aid and comfort
With the Yom Kipper services
should come moments of deep reflec
enter a desire to give a part of our
hours and days of frivolity to tho
needs of our people Let us become
real men and women and do that
which is but a part of our duty Then
truly can wo come from our hours of
worship refreshed in body mind and
spirit to live real lives going forward
with happy hearts happy in the con
sciousness of having assisted in no
ble work
Let the shofar be as a call from on
we can not condone the acts of the in
furiated man who gave his life in tho
belief that he was ridding tho world
of one who was directly responsible
for the misery and suffering endured
by those living under Russian domin
ion yet the act itself is but the story
of Russian history filled with treach
lives have been
oi y and deceit Many
swept out in the same manner never
receiving even press notices by reason
of Russian censorship but the Czar
and those who compose his official
family ever tremble that they might
be next in that long line who have
gone in the same way Yet in the
midst of such awful surroundings with
fear ever about them for their own
assassin but made so by their own
way of dealing with their people A
liberty loving people toiling under the
yoke of oppression must of necessity
breed men who witnessing conditions
that turn within them every instinct
for good that press down upon them
until they cry out for death to relieve
them from the misery which is their
lot Certainly these people can not be
blamed It is the conditions under
which they live that make them so
bloodthirsty They know life is not
secure and they willingly yield up
ing hands can aid in a way to increase their llveg > beucving that that is the
only way to secure relief The re
moval of any one in this manner but
brings another to his place with add
ed suffering and increased horror
It is only by the complete overthrow
of such a government that relief can
be obtained Other nations hold aloof
tor diplomatic reasons or otherwise
and with a rapid increase in a love
ior independence and liberty Russian
methods must give way
WELSH RIOTERS SENT TO JAIL
Sentences varying from twentyeight
tion In our desire for repentance let lays t0 three months imprisonment
not the soul be selfish but let there were passed on persons who had taken
pait in the looting of Jewish shops in
Wales on Saturday Septomber 9th
The prosecuting lawyer supported
the views of thoEO who acquitted tho
rioters of antiSemitism and assigned
the attacks to mere hooliganism
and those who found traces of racial
animosity differing in degree only from
that manifested in Russia
If lie said there had been a littlo
more Christianity these awful scenes
would not have been enacted
He emphasized tho fact that tho out
break had nothing to do with tho rail
waymens strike Tho attack on tho
Jews was simply an excuse for those
who wanted the property of others
Complaints were made against tho
Jews as landlords but he did not
think that this cause of complaint was
peculiar to the Jews Tho persons
charged wore not hooligans They wero
persons who were generally considered
respectable the majority being colliers
in regular employment and wives of
colliers
ELISHA TO AHAB ALLEGED DIS
COVERY OF CORRESPONDENCE

journal El Moktaam learns from its
Jaffa correspondent that there have

interesting pieces of pottery bearing
notes of correspondence between Elisha
King Ahab and Queen Jezebel
It s to be gathered from writing on
the pottery that there exists a record

GOOD FOR EVIL
Alexander Maimorek the famous
bacteriologist of France is credited
with having cured M Sasanof of tuber
culosis Sasanof is the Russian Min
ister of Foreign Affairs and a noted
antiSemite as is eveiy member of
the Russian cabinet
In this connection we are reminded
of a similar service which Dr Marmo
rek rendered to a noble family in
France in which family he cured a
young woman of the same dreadful
disease The aristocratic antiSemite
father of this girls expressed regret
that his daughter owed her recovery to
a Jew When Marmorek was informed
of the noblemans sic ingratitude he
said Thank God that I could render
such a service to an enemy
Tho New Testament may teach tho
return of good for evil but it takes
a Jew of the Old Testament to practice
it EmanuEl
A POLYGLOT JUDGE
Romance is to be found everywhere
if you care to look for it and humor
treads closely upon its heels Even
the dusty purlieus of the law courts
admit at times a gleam of human feelr
ing This was exemplified tho other
day when Judge Simon Hahn was pre
siding in the First Piecinct Court of
Newark N J when a German immi
grant ignorant of English was
brought before him and the judge in
vestigated liis case by speaking in Ger
man without the aid of an Interpreter
the next
Tho same thing happened
case which was that of a Pole in whose
intricate languago Judge Hahn sottled
the point in dispute When the third
applicant for justice came upon the
stand he hesitated for a moment and
then asked the judge in an insinuating
manner Please judge do you talk
English
