The Secretary replied bi Joshua J. Sperka. A great writer of Palestine - - — - wrote once, that while in the great past of Jewish history the stress and emphasis that was put upon the duty of the Jew "Kiddush Hashem" to sanctify and glorify the name of God, at present, a new note must be add- ed to this grand concept of Juda- ism: Namely, "Kiddush Hach- aim," the sanctification of human life by the recognition of the dignity, value, and priceless worth of human life. Participat- ing lavishly, generously in the War Chest, saving and up-build- ing by it numberless human ex- istences, Jewish and non-Jewish, the Jew accomplishes at once both things: He sanctifies and glorifies the God of Israel, and bears witness to the sanctity, in- violability, and digrity of Man. The problem of the medieval alchemist was how to transform ignoble crude metals into pure, refined gold—the great problem of our age is to transform gold into human assets, into human values, into means for the up- uilding of Man. At the very start of the World War, President Roosevelt stated that in these extraordinary times we must transform our money-making and acquisitive aility into altruistic money-giving, money-distriuting faclities! The first paragraph in Mai- monides "Laws of Zedokoh" reads: "It is the special, sacred duty of the Jew to provide and to take care of his haunted, needy brother Jew--because if the Jew has no pity and compas- • sion for his fellow Jew—to whom shall he apply in his need and plight—maybe to his tormenters and persecutors?" Maimonidcs eloquent words are doubly true, i our and of double significance in day when, under the inspiration of President Roosevelt even "Ne- dive Amim," the noblest of Gen- tiles, make it their duty to save, rebuild, and repratriate the lives n " of the re of "Sherith Israel m- nant of Jewry i Europe.
