W oc AND'S ADDRESS, Nothing in history is more romarkable than the part played by the Israclite in tho intellectual development lurope. At tho beginning of the Christian era woe find the Hebrew people driven from theie home in Palestine, their capital de- stroyed, theiv temple leveled with the v;nfll\_ Before this time they had boen carvicd away into captivity, ten tribes had been swillowed up by the Assyvians and the vemaining tei AT Aplives in Babylon Frowm this eaptivity a por- tion of the Hebrow people “had re- turned to Judea and il sbuilt Jerusalom and the temple. ore Juden was populous, the nation prospet- ous, tho dreams of the prophet about to be zod, when nnew enemy appeared and Rome in hee conquest of tho world beat down the noble and patriotio deavors of the Hebrew peoplo to n tain their independence. The Is would not bend, therefore ho tled to break,nnd wis y from wcient home. He had returned b and had_vestoved the glory of his nation, but after this conquest thore wus no return. Had Rome alone been con- corned, there might have been w hopo of repeop Juden with its ane inhabitants, but other influences were powcerful. By one of those uncxpeeted events, wln.? some call chance, but which woe may Detter mame as the will of God, tho God _of Israel became the God of the civilized world, the sacred book of Iseacl 1me the treasure of Burope, the r el, driven from its home in the religion of th world. But it was not the God of ancient time, the sacred book had been enl oy ligion changed. Stfl it w who guided the destinies portion of the huwman race. Still the lL'hl'l v literature was tho sucred ook of civilization. StillJohovah was worshiped by the Gentiles. Christianity hasits root in Judaism, but s drawn into its circulation life-giving ught from many othe ons of the And in the formation of the the- Lzl and morals which are now ted as divine by n large part of the civihzed world, Christianity Ak nged so much from the original Judaism which gave it birth, that the Hebrew people could not accept it. With wonderful tenacity they elung to the religion of their fathers, and finm\t\m:minumill\'| fuse ept Christianity. Addéd to this Lwus the fact, enlarged upon by all Chy : of Jerusal prophet of this rs Christianity. Whether aceusation was true or not, the follo of the Nazarene teacher believed it, the hostility of the Christian to th was greater than that which provailed between the ancient enemics of Judea and its Hebrew inhabitants. A Hebrow religion, not that of ancient Juden; beeame the ion of the Roman empire, and the heaviest anger foll on the Hebrow who would not conform to its requir mts. Every means to com- pel contormity was emple Jonfis {ion of prop enfor denco in the m of the cities of Burope, a ar dress, wore the least penaltic Thousands of Hebrews lost thei ives a3 tho result of what their smies called stubbornness. The Hebrew as indeed o man withont a countr; his hand w auinst, every one, and ever, nst him.

Yet this dispersion, this persecntion, this wretchednoss, did wore for the Hebrow people than tne forty yeurs sojourn in tho wilderness did the bondsmen of Pharaoh. Com- lled to avoid the public 70, they o driven to the bosom of their fami- s and the Jowish home was indeed the dearest place on earth, Compellod to wunder, they became the merchants of the world. Forbidden to own land, they becamo tho bankers of kings. Refused the pleasures enjoyed by othors, they had - pleasur of their own, and in homes -eultivated music literature, sophy und science. When the rest of Europe wis in the darkness of the middle ages the Hebrew Ghetto was frequently the one place where the light shined bright I'ho justice of God finally prevails, and out of the furnnce of atlliction the He- brow omerged with his mind rofined wnd cultivated above all the peoplo among whom he dwelled, s civilization o vianeed, he came over mors to the fron as merchant, banker, physician teacher, composer, author and” statesman, he began to assume the position _which his long and s ipline had so well fitted him m-enjoyed his music, read with delight his books, depended on his finaneinl Skill, and, w of wonders, submitted to his rule passed from the lowest deep of misery to become the guide of great nations. He who had once been themock of the rabble jn the strocts was welcomed to a seat in the parlia- ments of Europe, and by the side of the iwroudest nobles in England took his seat in the house of peers. An exile from his own country he made the world his country, and 50 it happens that ta-luy the world honors a patviarch who, after” o long and usetul life, hag beon caled fiomo to God. We have met here to-day to do honor to Siv Moses Montetiore, whose hundredth bivthday wits celobrated not long ago by the clites ull over the world.” These col- were not held m ¢ in honor of " wvich wmam, but in honor of wrich man who used hismoney as tiust for the henclit of the vear. And e e e A R A A T N S R s 3 T RAN, what is of epecinbinferast to us of an- other race, is that v Israclite used his wvealth not only for the poor of his own I ople_but for the poor of all nations [o did not * dtop to question whether those « in need belonged to Israel, but: that thoy 1 It ground of their elaim upon him So it comes to that Christians g well as Jews o in_ th memorial sorvicos. When General Grant died th Israclite joined with the Chr tians in their public expression SOPIOW. Now it i but ng, when, after an unnsnaliy long life fuiness to huwmanity, the Jewish reh has bean gathered to his fath that the Christian should join thoe "y in commemorating the life and serve icos of the distinguished philanthropist. Of rich men wo have more than enough, st ronerals and great statesmen are ot rare, but lovers of theirkind, who do. voto themselves to ameliorating the sad condition of our poor brothers and sisters, aro rare, and when one of these servants fos, the world may well mourn. Let us givo heed to the lesson which from his grave Sit Moses Monteliore would teacht us, and to use our imo and _our means to help humanity. Whether individual life continues into nother world or not, humanity lives and he or she who has donoe the most for the race live in that raoe, and has earned Ao tality which will grow brighter as th world grows oldér. Whether our in- idual existonce” is to bo prolonged is ight conscouence compired with whether the world has beon benefitted by our sojourn upon the carth. The alvation of our souls we can safely ave with God, but humanity is to be wed on the carth by your efforts and mine, and whoever devotes his time and means to this present salvation deserves honor from all men. A future heaven would prove doubtless a desirablo boone to gain; & presont hoaven could be the inheritance of all, if like the Jewish patriarch in whose honor we have met, would do what they could to bring leaven upon carth. Sie Moses Montetiors, in living according to the highest ideal of Judaism, came nearce to the highest Clivistuan ideal, which with Christian and Jow transcend sect and bocomes univer- sal, than those who, in their exclusive Shristian pride, exeerate the very name of Jew. The master of christendom in common with tho other veligiousteachers of Isvacl, established a scet which should sottlo the fitness of man to enter tho kingdom of God, and in the completest mer did Siv Moses Montefiore cuduro that test, for he fed the hungry, clothed tho naked, and, undoterred by personal dan- gor, visited' the sick and in prison, wnd worked so vigorously that mighty vulers opened the prison doors and [et the op- pressed go free. Of him and of such as \im, whether Hebrews, Mosloms, s, Buddhists, or Christians, it sh. said, by the eternai and Holy One, tho God'whom we all worship, culling him by various ! rious lit- urgics, the by , the truth, ve, enthr over all, God, our yo Blessed, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the earth. On this in- heritance has thesnoble lover of human- ity enteved. May we all 50 live that we, 100, may sh n thid eternal kKingdom or love and righteousnes: At the conclusion -of the addroess a selection was rendered by the choir, after which Senator Charles .

This leader of the Hebrews, wiho i done so much for his race, has done romore for mankind at large. The praise of his deeds and the acelaim to his name should come with more for from the Christian people, whom he tanght to do justice, than from those whose wrongs he righted, S it can boe said of justice and right, as well as of mercy, “It 13 twice Dblessed, it blesseth him that ;_fi\'w-ud him that takes.” The most damming blot upon the Ch: n nations is their treatment of the Jewish peopl Its history is one of unblushing th iniquitons oppression and e wrong.
