ill on Herzl
At the memorial meeting held
in the Great Assembly Hall
London on Thursday July 7
the day when Herzl was laid
away to rest Israel Zangwill
who was the principal orator
spoke as follows
This summer we had confi-
dently expected to sec our belov-
ed leader upon this platform
This very night he might have
been speaking to us And this
morning he was buried Buried
at the age of fortyfour in the
prime of his princely manhood
But is there one of us who can-
not see him upon this platform
Be has not broken his word He
is with us speaking to every
heart he will never leave us
again Nicht gestorben weil un
sterblich not dead because un-
dying Of Moses we are told
that no man knew the place of
his sepelchre And who can say
where Herzl will lie buried
since his living influence is
everywhere It could easily be
traced even in the withdrawal
of the Athens Bill anent which
he gave evidence the with-
drawal which by a cheering co-
incidence comes to diminish the
darkness of his funeral day My
friends you cannot bury a great
man If you cannot bury a great
man still less can you bury a
great cause Our opponents
have perhaps imagined that
Zionism would be buried in
Herzls grave Of Zionism too
it can be said Nich gestorben
weil unsterblicti Herzl had
from the first provided against
the event we morun tonight just
as he provided in his will that
his body should some day be
borne with us to Palestine He
knew too well that he might on-
ly gaze upon the Promised Land
and he has laid his hands upon
the head of more than one Josh-
ua and filled them with the spir-
it of his wisdom to carry on his
work And though there will
never arise one like unto him
though there is no one with his
fiery energy his magnificent
dash his inspired impatienc
yet our cause as he said at the
first Basle Congress our cause
is too great to rest upon an indi-
vidual
And so he leaves behind him
not only disciples but a Consti-
tution If some of tlie machin-
ery he had bequeathed to us con-
structed in the early stages of
our movement will be unwork-
able without him the loss of
him forces us more than ever to
reorganize our institutions and
to try to make up in system for
what we have lost in genius
But the Congress will always re-
tain a lasting creation of Herzl
Nicht gestorben weil unster
blich Our Congress supplies a
Jewish parliament and our Jew-
ish parliament will one day sup-
ply a Jewish State No Zion-
ism is not buried in the grave of
Herzl Far more likely antiZi
onism will be buried there Anti
Herzlism at least assuredly lies
cold beside him Death which
makes clear the great outlines of
his life must silence his bitterest
enemy
Think of the sacrifices this
man made who in the full tide
of his literay popularity in the
gay Austrian capital in the flush
of youth and success put aside
everything to take up the cause
of his oppressed brethren and
found for reward his position in
society lost his plays hissed his
health broken his motives ques-
tioned or jeered at and his char
acter besplashed with mud from
every Jewish gutter And yet
never a word of complaint On
the contrary I wish he said
at a recent Congress I wish our
enemies could understand what
a happiness Zionism is Yes
the happiness that comes of do-
ing ones highest work
And think of the work he
did in those
few brief years
in the teeth of all the practical
men who have so long misgov-
erned our people and mishan-
dled our problems
It seems on-
ly the other day since a black
bearded stranger knocked at my
study door like one dropped
from the skies and said I am
