Peace was the ground line which went life; it was that magical link miniove with his eminent brother and sister; it was at last the enchanting power which assisted him in the discharge of his congregational dutiesand impressed witaAaron’s diguitied character, he had come amongst them to speak in the words of the prophet—not with great physical powers or strength, but in the spirit of God to the blessings of peace.

Continuing he said: “You will be perbaps to see in me such an advocate of peace, knowing that one of the greatest princi, of humanity, the vindi- cation of man’s personal dignity was fixed and decided by way of the sword upon the battletields of this great republic. In answer to this point, however, we must not forget that the greai events of history which torm a new era in the civilization of mankind, will always be decided by the power of the sword, whilst the great moral and religious truths, upon whieh society is built, and which make mana masterpiece of the creation, will be surely best promoted and developed by a united congregational life, by a united family spirit, in short by every united sentiment which is able to connect man with God and his fellow brother. 5 The great Hike! said: ‘Love mankind,” and in pronouncing such a sentence of world-wide import and meaning, the wisest Rabbi has con- tributed a large link tothe great chain of human brotherhood. ‘The spread of humanity extends everywhere.
