Probably the world has never

Independent of the political,

We would be benefited by tht-m
both physically and morally and
spiritually. As a people, the
Americans do more in less lime
than any other people in the
world. The result is that the
physical man is shatteied hj'
over work. The brstin is ever
scheming, the sinew is ever
strained, the heart is.ever throb-
bing. There are not brakes
enough on our great national
car; therefore lire cords soon
wear out. Our beys become old
men long before they have
arrived at the three scoie years
and ten. They do not live out
half their days, because of their
eternal rush after "business, mat-
Abraham experienced on holi- ters. This everlasting haste is

Now, this great American na-
tion, in many respects resembles
the Jewish. It too has its trib-
al divisions, its sectional jeal

more recreations, more festivals,

simple expression for it.
To the Jew it betaiine

it should be with us. We have
something higher than annual
