Zion, the Ideal Home of a Disinherited People By Rabbi Brnard H. Rosengard.

ARTICLE III. On this land, nil fyes are focused: It is The center of a!l attraction, and uitlnate coal and insr ii ation of our race. This I rid. though us plory is shorn, is etill ,e center of gravity, of which it is staied that "the eyes of th Iord are aiTay." upon it from the beginning of the year unto the end of the year." (Deuteronomy, ch. xi., v. 12.) There, they are to spend their lives nrr,id holy surroundings and thrilling memories of th rat. There, continutiiis revelations were made to our rrlests. rrophets and heroes. Surely this contemplation is most exhilarat ins. To the rdous Israelite. th anticipation of being brought in contact wl'h the terra sancta. is to extend to him a new lease of life under inexpressibly bUssul .nrcumstances. To him. it is worth all the suffering and privation which semi-civilized states Inflict upon his devout had. so Ionic as he can be solaced by the conviction that an era of prosperous days await him. Thus for the humane side rjf Zionism. And now as to the difficulty involved in a divided loyalty, viz.. Jhe apprenEion felt by the rabid opponents of this movement, lest our patriotism of the lands of our present domicile be doubted End the character of our citizenship impugned. My answer is. that any such apprehension is utterly groundless and unjustified. The Jew is capable of a dual patriotism, namely, to the country of his adoption and nativity, and to the land of his ancestry. Incontestable proof as to this assertion is to be found in the position of exiled Israel in Babylon, a land which held them in thrall, and dealt out to them the cup of bi-terness and tribulation. With irn manacles on their famished bodies, they were driven with inexorable cruelty. By the rivers o Babylon, the daughter cf Israel was asked by her merciless captr.rs to sine the gone of Zion. But the moment they set font on the soli of Babylonia, what do we read0 In his famous letter to the elders of the Captivity (Roshai Hagowloh) the prophet Jeremiah thus addresses them: "vgk ye Xh" peace of the c;ty whither I have caused jou to be carrifd away captive, and pray unto th Lord for it, for in the peace thereof ye shall have peace." (Jere., ch. xxix . v. 7.) Is rot this admonition the most remarkable of all evidences as to the intense patriotism of the Jews, that even the Babylonians, who dait a deadly blow at the national existence of Israel, and who carried fire and destruction in the land of Judsh: even these merciless conquerors were to be served most loyally: In Russia, where the plight of our brethren is dolorous, their Muscovite task-masters are served with unimpeach loyalty bv us. We contend we have an indubitable right to stand on the defensive, and we are perfectly justified by th severe exigencies of the movement, to take such steps as shall effectually tend to the safety and salvation of our people. There is a fine motto, noblesse oblige, to recognize in a practical manner our imperative duty to suffering humanity, is the very essence of nobility. I now approach the practical side of Zionism. This consists in its endeavor to win back the misses of our reople to their primitive love cf. and devotion to husbandry, and to discourage and dissuade them fiom engaging in petty trades, in which competition is so keen and fierce, and which fosters prejudice and distrust. Now. of the various callings one can mak his own. there is none more hopeful of prosperity, none more certain of yielding abundant harvest of success than f ri cult ura. Bc-fore civiliza tion was known to primitive man; before the kern, harassing plague of competitive trades were introduced into the economy of life's

system: aye. ere the p.-rvpl3 of the earth began to apply their intellect to the production of destructive weapons, the muse of agriculture r isned supreme as quen of peace, silencing nil murmurs, bringms content-and prosperity to all diligent cultivators of the bountiful soil. It 1 extremely doubtjl whether our much-vaunted, murh-l.auded twentieth century, with ail its advantages, has made men and women truly happier than thy nire fifty centuries ni?o, when our dim and distant ancestors moved and labored in guileless innocence, citin gthe fruit of their labor, in the absence oC ail distracting care, and in the sweetness and happiness that are utterly impossible in this advanced BK,. Horticulture, agriculture, afforestation, will always remain down to the end of time, among the noblest of human enterprise. Our patriarchs and the great Lawgiver himself, our Kings and warriors, our priests, prophets and psalmists, wer all sympathetic laborers in these peaceful and prosperous arts. Of infinite advantage is agriculture. Inasmuch as it brings the husbandman in contact with nature and its marvels. There are extant a variety of beautiful legends and bewifhing tales, regarding the inspiration of prophecy, and the revelation of God to man in the persons of Abraham and Mo ses. The former of whom, with unslackening ardor and enthusiasm, sought the Creator in the depth of the sea, the brilliancy of the sun, the serenity of ine moon. Rrd in the magnificence of the towering mountains; whilst the la'ter saw God in an'other element r f nature fire, which seemed powerless to consume the mysterious bush of the desert. There is. then, undoubtedly a religious and moral aspect In this question of agriculture and i's allied industries. Our poet-king David, in his suMlrae psalms, the outpouring of his heavyladen soul, expressing' itself now in melancholy tones, now m jubilant strains. What inspire.1 them? Ws it not his da.iy intercourse with nature which charms rind moves one even into flights cf prophecy? I re-emphasize the proposition, that Zionism or Jewish Nationalism is inseparable from agriculture, which was the main. th staple occupation of Israel, under thoir various dynasties: under thf reign of the ill-starrer! Saul; the heroic David: the wise and versatile Solomon, and the tilkle, unstable liehoboam, when every ope took deligh under his vine and fig trees. What this movement 1s aiming at. is a reversion purely and simply to the grand old system. For we cannot but view with profound regret, a recrudescence of outrages practiced on our people In many parts of the so-called civilized world, of unfounded charges renewed, of absurd and fabricated stories Insisted upon bymalevolent people, and imp'.iclty credited by th" ignorant and infuriated mobs of Russia (described bv the late illustrious William ICwart Gladstone, Premier of Kngland). "that vast fabric of iniquity.' Roun-.ania. Austria and Germany, the last of which venting her wrath and biting sarcasm by her favorite ejaculations, 'Hep' ITepl" We see the resources of civilization are being employed to the detriment of Israel and his incomparable religion. We. had confidently looked forward, and with bated breath, to an era when universal love for mc-mbeis of the varying creeds, would be enthrone,! in the hearts of men. and when the malaria of malevolence and sinister designs would no longer mar th? relations of communities and governments. But alas! in the strikingly expressive words of Isaiah (ch. i., v. 6). "From the sole of the foot even unto the crown of the head, ther is no soundness in it but wounds and bruises, and festering sores, they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil." (To be continued.)

Across the street the pool hail is empty. The balls are in the racks anl tiie music of the laughter that was there the other day is gone. At the soda fountain ii'-xt door two ouths of Is lounge restlessly fretting at the leash that holds lhem. Over at the hotel each evening at this time someone played rollicking rag-time on a cornet, but all is quiet there, too. The bos have gone, and it is lonesome how lonesome the heart cannot rind words to say. Every night, from town and country, they came by dozens to the street here and it was alie with laughter. They congregated in the restaurant and the pool hall and amid clouds of cigaret smoke, ate. played, sro, swapped

istories rind deport" i themselves as J adolescents do. Occasionally they "horrowed" a car ami s'ipped out for a ride with a bunch of gir.s. Now and then they came ;n cont-ict, though not very often, with a contraband cold bottle; I they were unspeakribiy crude at times, J unnecessarily assertive, boisterous we

reviled them, called down daily imprecations on their worthless heads, swore the 1-st mother's son of them would be hung some day, but they went their way indifferent to our perturbations, and now we lofig for their laughter, could even stand for their oaths, tolerate their huge animalism and endure their egorisrr. The obi bottle een is forgotten, the gills we know were theirs by elemental right, and their bravado was but the mask of life to redundant. Newt with tl brown eyes, who powdered his nose like a girl, crawled laughingly out from tinder nn- ammunition truck wrecked by a German sheil in Picardy th other day and writes that "things are fine over here," Newt with the blue eyes has learned to fly and i on the way neither was worth a fiddler's damn Pil's in camp.

The stools are empty, nobody asks you for a cigaret, and you swear at age and disability as you once, swore at the crudities of the callow crowd. only the shadows comfort, for after duck each evening the symbolic wraith arrears at the corner there. He stands immovable even amid the tempest, and the lightnings and each night sems to become 'he spirit of a great race more incarnate. Ye?, it is lonesome, and the story the old men tell is itself so old. Th supremest tragedy that could happen "! a nation would be the loss of all its boys. This we know now that they are gone May the god of battles, if such a god there be, be good to these who come each evening when the shadows gather along the street where the old men sit.

How Lonesome the Old Town Is! What Editor Tom Eodina of the Paris (Mo.) Mercury Say of His Town Also Applies to Xery Town now That th Boys Have Gone.

This town is the lonesomest place, In the United States. After six o'clock in the evening it is unbearable especially on prayer meeting night when the negro church bell down by the track become an angelus under the new time tolls drearily its summons, and the resentful hills beat back its solemn clamor into the little street, where the old men sit

droning a forgotten story. j When dusk creeps dow n over the j rocyes and the swallows at the court j house go to sleep, fancy hears a clamor j as cf phantom voices, and gaunt j shadows stride into the quiet places to maka them liv again. At first the . faces are young, and about them is the I

Joy of youthful abandon, the eager disregard that scorns old reverences and that leaps to the pride and love of living. Then comes imperceptibly the change. The shadows retreat, and a single wraith stands silhouetted against the darkness into which the street is slowly dissolving. It is tall, almost gaunt, and is clad in kakhi, a ritle at the shoulder. The face is young, but where joy was is now that strange, imperturable calm that is seen only on the faces of the predestined, the fixed resolve that comes only to him who has determined within himself the ultimate issues cf life and death. In every line Is th iron of a race that conquered fear
