JEWISH NEW YEAR
Services at Progress Hall
Last Night
Interesting Lecture on "The Jew" ty Leon
Strauss -The Serv ces for
Tcday.
"Rosh Ashona," the Jewish New
Year, commenced at 6 o'clock last even
ing, and it will be generally observed
today by those of the orthodox faith.
At Progress hall last evening there
was a good-sized congregation, who
listened to Mr. Leon 'Strauss' lecture
on "The Jew." Among the audience
were many people belonging to other
churches in the city. The proceedings
closed with a few remarks by the pres
ident. Mr. Straus said:
"Today, my friends, marks in the
history of the people of Israel another
year passed in the revolution of the
wheel of time and today in every
country under God's mighty sky the
chosen of God, as lie Himself has
called them, gather together in rooms
or temples dedicated to His holy
name to offer up their humble prayer
and thanksgiving for all the blessings
of love and plenty He has in His all
powerful and all-embracing wisdom
showered upon them; nor can the Jew
of today offer prayer enough to Him,
as we of today look back into the cen
turies that have passed and read in the
evolution of time the strange fate of
the Jew a fate that is pushing this
chosen one forward to a full accom
plishment of God's mighty design,
which will see its end when man lives
in peace with his fellow-man; when
the lion and lamb shall lie side by side,
an end intended by God which can
only be perfected by those He has
chosen, only by the Jew. What a fate
it is! What he has suffered- in his
endless wandering to finish the work
his Father bade him do, and can we,
looking into the past and present,
doubt for an instant that he is the
only one who, in no far distant day,
will finish his Master's work.
"So strange is and has been the fate
of the Jew; he has ever been the
simultaneously despised and dreaded
and distinguished of mankind; ever at
one and the same time a low. hated
peddler and a high, courted Lord Bea-
consfield; ever at one and the same
ime the scum and sage; ever at one
and the same time despised for his
meanness, dreaded for his sagacity,
deified for his moral and spiritual
grandeur. Name the cruelty, name the
ignominy which the Jew has not suf-
ered and endured; name me a coun
try in which he has lived in peace
without having ignorance point the fin
ger of scorn at him! Why? Because he
is a Jew. Where he has been ever has
it been said to him: 'The hand of man
shall be against thee and thy hand
shall be powerless to resist our blows:
where others dwell thou shall't not
dwell; where others walk, thou shalt
not walk; our laws, our occupations,
dress, speech and all that make life
worth the living shall not be yours;
thou shalt be compelled to reside in
the filthiest quarters of our cities,
there to be exposed to insult and pil-
age; thou shalt be compelled to pur
sue degraded callings and then be des
pised for not entering higher voca
tions. And what was his crime that
brought so cruel a punishment upon
him? - What was his guilt? WThat his
transgressions? He is guilty of being
a Jew: he is guilty of the crime of
giving the world a God before ' whom
half humanity bends its knee today;
he is guilty of the crime of having
given to the world a Bible, a Sabbath,
the Decalogue, the Golden Rule, of
having been the first to proclaim the
Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of
Man, the first to enjoin peace and good
on earth. He is guilty of the crime of
having given the world prophets, bards
and law-givers, to whom the whole
civilized world does homage. He is
guilty of the crime of furnishing the
greatest number of stars to the galax
ies of the world's greatest lights. He
is guilty ot tne crime ot Deing anion
the most peaceful, law-abiding, indus
trious, temperate, loyal and patriotic
of men that live in any land. The
prison scarcely knows him; the gal
lows-sneak of him as a stranger; the
divorce courts know him not; the in
ebnate homes never saw him; no
almshouse need feed or care for him
He is the noblest father, husband.
brother and friend; but yet he is called
in accents of contempt and sneer, 'A
Jew!' The public schools rank him
the most gifted; the universi-
ties among
the most learned; the pro
fessions among the most capable; the
arts "among the most skillful; the
sciences among the most advanced.
Name the leaders of parliaments and
peoples, the advance guards of thought
and progress, the heroes and pets and
idols of the people, and you must name
an overwhelming proportion of God's
chosen people the Jews; you must
name the Rabbi of Nazareth and his
precepts, in whose name so many Jews
have gone down to a martyr's death,
because ignorance and priestcraft could
not and would not interpret aright his
Jewish teaching; you must name the
Spinozas, the Mendelssohns, the Dis
raelis and the Laskers, the Richardos
and the Lassalles, the Heines, the Mey
erbeers and the Haberj-s, the Rathels
and the Bernhardts, the Sir Moses
Montefiores, and the Zangwills. He is
further guilty of being clannish, for
which centuries, of compulsory exclu
sive accusations only with his own
down-trodden people on vile ghetto,
built by ignorance and hate, have ob
scured his day. He is greedy and
grasping; he monopolized the most
profitable trades, for which not he is
to blame, but the centuries of cruel ex
clusion from plying the higher and
grander vocations of men, and the
knowledge that by means of money he
could successfully live and fight the
nations that, in ignorance of his sub
lime mission, strove to stamp him from
the earth and bury his mighty religion
amid the chaos of the past.
"Such is the story of the martyrdom
of the Jew and such the guilt that
brought it on him. In reading the
black history of the past you marvel
at it, and you may well do so; but far
more the marvel, he has survived it.
But only one endowed as he was, and
still is, only one hardened and steeled
as he was for his world's mission in
the school of trial and agony as he was
could have outlived it. Only a Jew
destined to live and live until the God's
purpose, his mission, is fulfilled, could
have passed through such a furnace-
fire of misery from century to century
and come forth from the heat and
Uame 'with not a downy feather
singed by the flame of percussion.'
"And if he has survived these cen
turies of all pain it must be because
Providence intended him to live; it
must be as the Bible teaches us, there
is a mighty task to be done for our
God, which only a Jew can do, which
only a Jew shall do; no other expla
nation of his marvelous endurance and
escape from all that has been done to
ruin and degrade him and his religion
is possible. This, he that drew the
plans of civilization, laid its founda
tion, started its upward climb, and this
mason working under the leadership
of God Himself must finish the work
he has begun. He that first conceived
the great truth one God over all, one
brotherhood of all, peace among all
that great truth he must make su
preme with all, and for that God has
spared him; for that he has been a
wanderer in every land; for that he
has withstood all; for that he must, he
shall, he cheerfully and happily wan
ders until the people of the Messiah
shall become the Messiah of the people,
until the despised of men shall becmie.
as they are fast doing, the distin
guished among all nations.
"What a strange story! What strange
irony of fate is the story of the Wan
dering Jew. The story invented by
priestcraft for the disgrace of the Jew
really proves, upon closer scrutiny, the
Jews' greatest glory. I do not mean
his rejection or ill-treatment of the
martyr of Galilee; I mean the promise
of immortality that legend contains
Thou shalt live forever.' But how
of today? He is breaking away from
the low callings once enforced upon
him by cruel laws, and today devoting
himself to the grander pursuits; he is
exchanging the store for the school
and the bourse for the university. He
has permitted others to wrest from
him the honor of being the greatest of
bankers and merchants; but none shall
ever again take from him what he is
today first in the learned professions:
poet, lawyer, painter, actor, statesman,
doctor, musician. He is all these, and
the thousands of years of oppression
have left no mark upon his mighty
spirit. He has come forth from the
depth where cruelty and hatred placed
him, straight to the front, and he
stands there, saying to all the world,
in voice as clear and sweet as a bird's
song: 'Behold me; give me a place
among the noble of earth; I have
earned it; I, too, have the right to be
exalted, for, as we have been brought
so low in our day of humiliation, we
shall be exalted so high in our day of
triumph.'
"The phrases, 'Rich. as a Jew,' 'Mean
as a Jew,' are changing to 'Wise as a
Jew,' 'Good as a Jew,' and before his
work will be done the phrase will have
changed to 'Divine as a Jew.' The age
of persecution has passed; the age of
equality is here. The snow of sorrowT
is changing to the sunshine of joy. In
the horizon of his being a new, bright
day is dawning for him, and when, at
length, God calls him home, he will
find peace from his wanderings in the
promised land, first having done on
earth his Father's work, which could
only be done by 'A Jew.' "
At S:30 this morning there will be
religious services at Progress hall, and
at 10 o'clock prayer for the Govern
ment, and English reading, inter
spersed with Hebrew prayer.
RED TAPE CIRCUMVENTED.
The Post Office has an idiotic rule
which precludes the public from buyinj
postage stamps at offices which are
restricted to telegraphic business. The
rule was ingeniously circumvented the
other day by a gentleman who had
written a letter in train and went to a
telegraph office at a station en route
for the purpose of obtaining stamps.
The clerk in charge having declined
to sell them, the traveller' asked for a
telegraph form, and wrote the follow
ing message:
Postmaster-General, London, Your
clerk says "I cannot purchase two
stamps at this office, Rats."
Claiming the right to affix the stamps
himself, in accordance with another
Post Office rule, he took the stamps
which the clerk handed over, put
them in his pocket, tore up the tele
graph form, and departed in triumph.
A man 'who could thus make red tape
look ridiculous deserves to be regarded
as a public benefactor. Truth.

BER is used in the Stamps made by
