There was judgment to be given. "Yossel, Yossel, Yossel!" called the Angel of Mercy, here stands, Master of the World, poor, unhappy Yossel; see, he is alone in the world, forsaken, poor, a downtrodden worm; let Thy mercy spread over him, 0 Compassionate Father!" The Spirit that Denies inter- rupted angrily: "What! Ile de- serves mercy? Ile who brought on the death of his wife! Whose sin was it that his sons were won over to error?" Yossel heard the accusation, and knew that Satan spoke the truth. In the meantime the Shofar blasts issued more strongly. It was the end. At the final pas- sage a long-drawn-out and more impressive tone was given vent to .. . On the Ressurrection Day his wife Basha would also arise. Such a trumpet% blast, yea, a thousandfold stronger than this, would thrill the world, for no mortal would press his lips to the Shofar, by the Arch- angel Michael himself. And the sounds would fill the four ends of the earth, from the heights of Sinai to the nethermost re- gions. All who slumbered in the sod would rise from their beds to behold the light of God's magnificence. The breath of life would sweep over the world, and strong young men would arise, blooming young women, beaming children, and there would be joyful reunions. And his wife Basile would also arise, for she was a right- eous woman. But would her spirit be happy? Would she be able to console herself? Would she pardon him? A picture presents itself to him, and he sees her just as she ap- peared under the bridal can- opy. But what deep sorrow speaks from her eyes! She moves as if in doubt, and he understands what troubles her , so, and feels his heart dissolv- ing in grief. limes long since he had visited r grave; the mound was lonely and desolate; only the swine were groveling about, thrusting their muzzles into the earth. There was no monument, not a flower nearby; moss covered her last resting-place,and ants ran in and out. The Christian church-yard was not far from it and the graves were shadowed by, green trees. There every one' slept in the midst of his own, surrounded by relatives and friends, but only she lay in a deserted, forgotten corner, all alone. In death, too, she was to be torn from him. The awfulness of a lonely grave! "Yet I alone am to blame. I brought sorrow down upon you, you poor soul," murmured Yos- sel, as if to console himself with that confession. "With me it will not be better; when I am dead no one will recall my name; no one will say Kaddish after me; no one will light a candle on the anni- versary of my death. I have not deserved any better. I have earned my punishment. But why must you, on that account, be put to such grief — why?" And the days of long ago passed before his spirit .. . He lived in a village, many miles away from the city. In the same town there were perhaps 12 Jewish families. By dint of or- ganized effort they gathered a Minyan and procured a teacher, who also performed the functions of Shochet. He himself was known in the neighborhood as a substantial householder, lessee of a wine house with which a store was connected. In his house was established a room for the wor- ship of the small congregation, and there, too, was the school- room; and the teacher ate at his table. His wife, Basha, who, in the goodness of her heart, always welcomed the poor to her table, was especially proud to have the nstructor of her children lodged under her roof. All her thoughts were directed to the end that her two sons, remnants of a large brood of children, should become pious and educated men. How of- ten had she made appeals for them in the silent blessing of the candles! How often had she wept silent tears to have her holy wish fulfilled! But then began their period of trouble. The Poles started an in- vestigation as to whether the Jews in the town were there un- der legal right of settlement. The majority of Jews could not prove by written testimony that they had not settled there before the law prohibiting Jewish settle- ments in towns was annulled. The Jews were therefore ordered to depart without delay. Only Yos- ad and a woefully poor man were permitted to remain. The depart- ure of the 10 or 12 families was the death of the congregation, and both Minyan and Cheder were discontinued. The teacher was dismissed, for Yossel felt un- able to provide for him. Some time after the religious services were discontinued the other Jew moved away to the ci- ty, for he thought that a poor man could manage to exist in a large city as well as in a towd; but Yossel could not decide to leave the place where his father and grandfather had lived and died, where he was born, where the whole vicinity was familiar to him—the fields and gardens, the woo& and streams. He could not imagine how he could live in an- other community, especially in a large city, for city life seemed so foreign to him. And, moreover, he could not leave his business. He knew what competition in the city meant; there were 10 hungry laborers struggling for every piece of dry bread; why should he be the 11th? He admitted it would be pleasanter to attend the synagogue in the city, and find a Minyan always there; but what sins might a man not commit in the struggle for existence .. . As he stood in the synagogue on this day of judgment, where he judged his own life and pro- duced the witnesses against him- self, he was forced to confess that only Satan could thus have misled him; could have poisoned his mind with reasons which con- vinced him that he had Vetter re- main in the town. Ile had no real faith in God. It painel him to leave his business, and there was even a more horrible feeling that filled his heart at the time: it was that the departure of his neighbors would leave their places empty, and he would profit by it. He well knew that this feeling was the decisive reason for his remaining in the town. In his memory now arose the moment when he escorted the de- parting families from their homes. How be wept! It touched his heart to see the misfortune of his brethren who were compelled to take up the wanderer's staff. And how it pained him to part with those families with whom he was so friendly that he well-nigh considered them blood relatives! The majority of them were mem- bers of his congregation, related to one another by bonds of sor- row and friendship. When they wept he was in great distress, and he, too, dropped tears of sincere regret and sorrow; but in a cor- ner of his heart there lurked a feeling of satisfaction in that all his competitors in business were about to depart. He felt ashamed when he thought of this, but he could not banish it from his mind. "What has conic over me? Am I no more a man? Have I become a selfish beast?" When the teacher left, Yossel undertook the education of his sons. lie himself was not un- learned and was fully able to in- atruct his sons. His eldest son was dull, the younger was not without intelligence, but he had no desire to learn. Both were genuine farmer boys, who de- lighted to play with horses and understood the ways of animals. His wife disagreed with him as to his method of teaching and begged of him to remove to the city and give them a Jewish edu- cation, but he always postponed it. Basha was right, there was no system in his teaching. He could not instruct the lads without hie- ing his temper, and when he lost control of himself he terrified them. "Why do we stay here?" she would ask, when she saw her sons growing up in ignorance. She felt lonely ever since her friends and relatives had left them, and she saw her boys finding com- panions among the peasants and adopting their uncouth ways. „,t,What shall we do?" her hus- band replied. "I am not rolling in wealth here, but at least I earn something; and what can I de in the city?" "What will become of the chil- dren? See how they are growing up! After we are gone they won't know how to say Kaddish, and not one candle will they fight at our Jahrzeit." In his heart of hearts the man agreed with her, and decided to follow her advice. But he post- poned his removal from summer to winter, and from winter to summer, always excusing himself on the ground that he had some business to conclude; and so the time passed. Then typhoid fever became epidemic in the village and it, neighborhood. There were a num- ber of deaths. Basha was also taken with the fever. For a few days her illness was not noticed. Yossel had acquired the peasants' habit: he believed in preventing the sick one from taking to bed as long as possible, to see whether the disease could not be cured without a physician. When such a miracle did not occur an old wo- man sage would be called in to speak a charm and brew some healing beverage. The old woman Yossel called in did her best, for she had a deep affection for Basha, who was known as a kind- hearted woman among all the peasants. She gave the invalid a strong concoction three times daily to induce perspiration, but it (lid not help. The sickness took a dangerous turn. Yossel aroused himself sufficiently to. go to the city to fetch a doctor, but just then all the doctors were extra- sixth/tardy busy. Ile returned with the promise that the doctor would come the following day. When he entered the house he found Basha dead. "Hour after hour she called for you," wailed the old woman. "Why did you come so late? She had something on her mind she wanted to tell you." Yossel gazed upon the face of the dead woman. She seemed to be asleep, as if her last words were still hovering about her lips —the words she wished to impart to him. "I forgot to tell you," re- marked the nurse, "the inspector was here and he said had you come an hour later she would have been buried without you. They will not allow a dead body to remain unburied for say length of time, on account of the epidemic." "I swill take her in my wagon to the city," Yossel decided, stag- gering to his feet, as if in a dream. "Say Tillim, children," he commanded hie cons, who were weeping in a corner. A police officer, Yossel's friend, appeared. "What a calamity has befallen me!" wailed Yossel to him, "It is God's will," remarked the other. "I must harness a horse and at once go to the city with her." "My friend," remarked the other, "it is forbidder), in such a time, to carry a corpse so far. We will find a place for her near our own cemetery." "What do you say? She is a Jewish woman!" stammered Yos- sel, almost beside himself with grief. "It makes no difference; we will bury her close by," replied the officer. "I have nothing to do with it; it is the inspector's order and it must be done," Yossel sought every means in his power to gain his end, but it was im- possible. lie was compelled to acquiesce . . With the assistance of a broth- er in faith, who happened to pass through the town at that time, Yossell laid his wife to rest in a trench near the Christian ceme- tery. - After that he could not recall whether it was night or day; there was a desert in his heart;, the world- was full of confusion. , While she lived he did not value her at her real worth, in spite of his love for her. Now that she had left him forever, he felt that she had taken with her the very light and warmth of his life. Time passed. Yoesel',,s sons be- came sturdy young men; they were no more afraid of their father. After his wife's death Yon- sel's strength seemed to ooze away. He let things take their course. His eons took the busi- ness into their own hands. Every day widened the breach between them, and the young men became more and more like the peasants among whom they lived . . Once he determined to return to the city. He disliked the sight of his sons, for they trampled upon their religious duties, and more and more followed the dis- orderly life of the peasants, but he had neither power nor will to warn them, and he knew that even if he had the will they would not heed him. He thought that in 1936 A Happy New Year to Everybody! L'Shono Tovo Tikosevu S. A. GRANADIER It's in the very nature of a man to sense the power of fine clothes.

GRANADIER , ' Cattlemen's Tailor Cherry 2452 UNITED ARTISTS BLDG, the town their downward career might be checked, but whenever he spoke to them of returning to the city they strenuously opposed it. After much deliberation he de- cided to transfer all his property to them, and with a small sum of money, which he expected his sons to brine- from the annual fair, which was then being held in the heat town, he decided to re- turn to the city alone .. . •lie was sitting in the house— he remembered that well — and was waiting anxiously for the re- turn of the young men from the fair. The door opened and an old peasant, with a fat, beaming countenance, entered. "Cheerful news, Yossel!" he cried, in An exultant voice. "Ex- cellent boys, your sons! They have about gone and done it." "Yes, yes; great sons;'but what have they done?" inquired Yossel, with some anxiety in his voice. "What should they be doing?" replied the peasant, surprised. "Don't you know that yesterday the priest received them in the arms of our holy church?" "You are jesting, Jesimo- witsch," cried Yossel. "Why, my sons left for the fair, to sell goods. Today they return. It can- not be—no!" "But I know, brother," replied Jesimowitsch, "they di d have goods to sell, and sold them, but it is alas true that they wete baptized yesterday." "How could they do it! How could they do it!" "Does it surprise you? They have now quite A sum of money whjch they received for the goods they sold, and they intend to take a nice little farm in the neigh- borhood. They will receive a loan from the bank, for they now have a right to acquire land In their own name. Why don't you re- joice, you stupid Yossell" And now, as he stood before his Creator, he considered what he had done, anti all that had happened to hint. His heart was lacerated, his spirit crushed, He did 'not complain; he felt that ri just punishment had overtaken him. But he felt so distressed for his wife's sake; for her grave, lonely and deserted, with no chil- dren to pray for her soul, and no Jahrzeit lights, and then, on the Resuryction Day—oh, the greater sorrowl • . . . "Kedushal Kedushal" cried a neighbor, jostling him, plucking him by the sleeve. Yossel passed his hand through his moist hair, roused himself from his reverie, and raised his face to the East.
