HOUSTON TEXAS OCTOBER 801908 The Wail of a Mighty Nation Extract from Sermon Delivered by Rabbi Abraham D Pi ice at Keneseth Israel Synagogue Baltimore Mel No people have had such sor- row When recently talking to a native of Jersulam about their grief at their wailing place at Jerusalem I could not but feel as I heard about their desolation that they had reason to morn Here once stood their state tem- ple Here had sat their sunny city filled with the rejoicing that freely flowed from a people most favored by the Lord Here the sweetest strains of Zion swelled in harmonic numbers and height of Olivet echoed their harmonic melodic joys But now the mosque of Omar usurps the place of praise the collosal fragments of grandeur are the urns that receive Jewish tears Yet cen tury after

derision to our fathers No sadder words could be chanted They are the funeral dirge of departed glory Like a tragedy written in lines of blood their trail for 1900 years may be traced among the
