THE _JEWISH - NEWS Page Ten Our CHILDREN'S CORNER Dear Boys and Girls: Only a few days remain before Rosh Hashanah, and I am sure that all of us look forward eager- ly to the solemn days which be- gin with the New Year. There will be a special New Year column in our next week's issue which will be devoted to the Holy Days. Today I am printing for your benefit the famous speech by Mordecai, the very interesting Jewish character in George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda." It is one of the great appeals for a Homeland for Jews. A very pleasant Sabbath to you all. UNCLE DANIEL • • • JUDAIC NATIONALISM Sentiments Expressed in George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda" by Mordecai "In the multitude of the ignor- ant on three continents who ob- . serve our rites and make the con- fession of Divine Unity, the soul of Judaism is not dead. Revive the organic center: Let the unity of Israel which has made the growth and form of its religion be an outward reality. Looking forward to a land and a polity, our dispersed people in all the ends of the earth may share the dignity of a national life which has a voice among the peoples of the East and - the West—which will plan l the wisdom and skill of our race so that it may be, as of old, a medium of transmission and understanding. Let that come to pass, and the living warmth will spread to the weak extrem- ities of Israel, and superstition will vanish, not in the lawless- ness of the renegade, but in the illumination of great facts which widen feeling, and make all knowledge-alive as the young off- spring of beloved memories . . .

The vision even as the sons of England and Germany, whom enterprise car- ries afar, but who still have a national hearth and a tribunal of national opinion . . . Let the cen- tral fire be ,kindled again, and the light will reach afar. The de- graded and scorned of our race will learn to think of their sacred land, not as a place for sacred beggary, to await death in loath- some idleness, but as a republic where the Jewish spirit manifests "There is a store of wisdom itself in a new order founded of among us to found a new Jewish the old, purified, enriched by the polity, grand, simple, just, like the old—a republic where there is equality of protection ... Then our race shall have an organic center, a heart and a brain to watch and guide and execute; the outraged Jew shall have a de- fense in the court of nations, as the outraged Englishman or Am- erican. And the world will gain as Israel gains. For there will be a community in the van of the East which carries the culture and the sympathies of every great nation in its bosom; and there will be a land set for a halting-place of enmities, a neu- tral ground for the East as Bel- gium is for the West. Difficulties? I know there are difficulties. But let the spirit of sublime achieve- ment move in the great among our people and the work will begin . . . "Let the torch of visible com- munity be lit! Let the reason of Israel disclose itself in a great outward deed, let there be an- other great migration, another choosing of Israel to be a nation- ality, whose members may still ages . . .
