A Lincoln Horse Trade Story.1
NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE
In her Lincoln novel, The Last
Full Measure," Mrs. lionore W.
' Morrow has repeated one of Lin- ,
col ti's best stories. Lincoln tells
it thus:
'Judge Davis was always boast.
ing about himself as a horse trad-
er and I told him finally that I
Was pretty good in that line my-
self. Well, we kept that up for
several weeks and at last one night
we agreed to test each other's abil-
ity by making a trade between us,
the next flittering before court sat.
The horses were to be unseen up
to that hour and no backing out un-
der a penalty of $25. So sharp at
it in the morning the judge appeared
leading the worst horse I ever
sins,, all thigh bones and sway-
backed, ribs sticking through the
hide, hinds the size of soap ket-
ties and the same shape. Every-
body was hollering that I was
licked when I came up with a
wooden saw-horse on my shoulder
and out it down beside Davis' old
skeleton. I told the judge it was
the first time I ever got
, the worst
vf it in a horse trade.'
By RABBI STEPHEN S. WISE, PH. D., LL. D.
Rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New York, N. Y.
President of the Jewish Institute of Religion.
WHEN GIVING IS HARD
"The real test of people's char-
acters, their interest and their so-
cial responsibility comes when giv-
ing is going to be a little hard, is
going to mean looking over a bud-
get that has become a little con-
stricted, and where there must be
a choice not between making this
contribution and investing n little
less this year, but between making
this contribution and spending less
in certain other ways."—George E.
Vincent.

Rosh Hashonah Greetings and Best
Wishes to the Entire Jewry
The year began, as it ends, for Israel at the Wail-
ing Wall! We seem to have stood throughout the year
at the Wailing Wall, --a year which began under the
shadows and ends with but little light. There are
years that go down in our annalii as years of hurt;
others as years of sorrow; still -others as years of
doubt. The year about to end has been for us one of
deep and tragic confusion.
5690 began, as it ended, amid the din of battle
waged by misguided Arab groups, with the tacit or
spoken approval of English governmental officials in
Palestine, against our people, our daring pioneers.
Whmi warred upon, these defended with a valor
worthy of their cause and country. There C II be no
higher praise.
Much of the evil and even horror of the crime
against the Jewish resettlers of Palestine might have
been overcome, if the British Government, by its Pal-
estine representatives, had been equal to its traditions.
It has been guilty of what its friends might choose to
name blunder after blunder. The Parliamentary In-
quiry Commission, save for its Labor member, was
less than a whitewashing body; it was deeply hurtful
to the cause of Palestine peace. Since its report, we
have seen act upon act, including the naming of Luke
as England's representative on the Wailing Wall Com-
mission, which together have been one of the saddest
disillusionments in all the centuries of our history. For
we trusted England. We would still trust England,
despite this awful year, if England would but choose
to make it possible that we renew our trust.
But self-trust is more important still, most impor-
tant, if as a people we are to add to the proud centur-
ies of our history such years as shall not be full of
shame. As long as we imagined that our life depend-
ed for good or evil on Czarist Ukase, so long were we
undone. As long as we imagine that the Jewish re-
settlement of Palestine depends upon this or any Brit-
ish Government, we are undone.
However much Eastern and Central European
governments did in the past to make our yoke heavier,
however little British governments may in the future
do to effectuate the Mandate and all that went before,
Jewish self-trust is the final arbiter of the Jewish fate.
From this truth, such Jews as are vulgarly and noi-
somely indifferent to the plight of our people, will tim-
idly dissent. Jews, who so occupy themselves with the
divisive minutiae of Orthodoxy and Reform as to be
unable to envisage the majesty of the whole Jewish
picture, will not understand. But Jew's, worthy of the
name and heritage of their people, will share the faith
that makes us unconquerable, that nothnig less than
high, unafraid, creative self-trust can bring us, as a
people, nearer to our heart's desire. And that desire,
—to go forward as a people in the land where God
dwelt in the aspirations and purposes and deeds of a
deathless people! And to go forward everywhere, in
the name of the divine bidding, to widen the domains
of justice, .to deepen the foundations of peace, to
strengthen the will of the truth of self-conquest.
The Wailing Wall, to which our fathers and moth-
ers pilgrimmed, has performed the tragic miracle,
throughout the passing year, of pilgrimming with us,
—in many lands of exile. Once again is Russia at land
of desolation, for neither acres nor bread, even when
not illusory, can undo the hunger of the Jewish soul,
which is asked to satisfy itself with the stone of com-
pulsory irreligion. It has happened,—it may happen
again,—that the Wailing Wall stands long after they
have passed, who made of every dwelling place of Is-
rael walls of wailing and desolation.
May the New Year, 5691, lead us from the Wail-
ing Wall to the heights whence we shall, with the help
of the spirit of holiness and mercy, behold justice for
our brethren and peace for all men.
