nations I am tempted to Insert here an extract front from one of these writings J proving roin the truth ot of the asser tion I 1 flave just made After treating the vicissitudes and troubles les of the Jews the writer goes on onto onto to say uIt mR may be add added d that the vital statistics ot of the Jews differ a little from those of the nations with which they have hao been compared The flu Jews haw have a greater average longevity which is attributed to their thir comparative freedom etc ald to their not following employments which shorten life Ufe Their dietary laws and ceremonial ablutions have an once Chico in preserving them from epidemics To may be added the statement confirmed h by their history that the mor morals morale ale als antI tho racial and strength of the Jews Jows are attributable to the same caus causes Commercial of Jews Ref ronce should also be made to the commercial skill and ability of the Jews Jew how thc they have como come with their money and

return for the cursIng and persecution the they have hae received the they ha have 0 often otten given succor succo and assistance In the presence of oC and individual want flint The mare male mention of the name ot or Rothschild is enough to establish the claim made for the Jews and confirmed b by history that they ther have been a vent veritable able stone of help to nations in dis trosS Nor nave their efforts b been en confined to the commercial element of a advancement and progress While recognizing the and Integrity of the Jew Je hill ishi people W we are also bound to a ac knowledge their

nations among whom your people live it Is like Jy Iy th that t Intercourse with those nations will wUl teaCh the tho valuable leson of eliminating those traits I say It would naturally be expected that a nation which has preserved its racial unity as well as an the Jews would possess wong strong and vig orous traits not nIl all of perhaps would meet the demands expect lions or of the peo peoples pIes am among ong whom you OU I 1 your our And I sa say this with without out abating lit in th tilt lost leut degree the tho praise I I 1 have hava bestowed on the tho He it If an any of those traits have been Iteen to any extent I the tite cause of your our I persecutions or have hae tended to lessen the confIdence or en love of the nations t the e course ot of wisdom would seem to be to pt to over I ium n ml them front from the na character It If your many national l are strong and so o also may your our faults he be And I think Olt will trill agree with me that every ad advantage adVantage vantage has been and will h lie taken of faults fault by who do not you ou for fol the virtues you possess I wish at this point to congratulate the state of on the general character of the Jewish citizens who taken UI their residence here ll are In inmany many to be classed l among our best betit cItizens They have havo done and are doing loing much to develop its

looking at the achievements lor If the Jews locally nationally and Worldwide we are confronted with the question What is their destiny Endur big Ing every vicissitude rising above every difficulty putting beneath theIr feet even the murder of their people anti and the pillage e of oC their property u using ing past difficulties as present stepping stones to future greatness I see them working out a great and anc admirable destiny Enriching every state and nation that has welcomed welcome l them as refugees the have left to ret retribution and decay the nations thal tha unjustly used then And it is with it fI feeling of pride linde that wo we remember the freedom from oppression the have en loyed joyed in our great reat nation If We may j trul truly judge from the history of the past I
