just as the sailors were lifting
the anchor. Many of them lost
their places, and were not as
comfortable during their voyage
as at the outset. They were
wiser, however, than the fourth
party, which stayed so long
on the island, and tasted so
deeply of its pleasures that they
minded neither the wind nor
the ship's bell that called them.
Said they: "The sails are still
to be set; we may enjoy our-
selves for a few minutes more."
Again the bell sounded, and
still they lingered, thinking,
"The captain will not sail with-
out us." So they remained until
they saw the ship moving; then
in wild haste they swam after
it and scrambled up the sides,
but the bruises and injuries
which they encountered in so
doing were not healed during
the remainder of the voyage.
But, alas for the fifth party.
They ate and drank so deeply
that they did not even hear the
bell, and when the ship started
they were left behind. Then the
wild beasts hid in the thickets
made them a prey, and they
who escaped this evil perished
from the poison surfeit.
The "ship" is our good deeds,
which bear us to our destina-
tion, heaven. The "island"
typifies the pleasures of the
world, which the first set of
passengers refused .to taste or
look upon, but which when en-
joyed temperately as by the
second party, make our lives
pleasant, without causing us to
neglect our duties. These pleas-
ures must not be allowed, how-
ever, to gain too strong a hold
upon our senses. True, we may
return, as did the third party,
while there is yet time and with
but little bad effect, or even
as the fourth party at the
eleventh hour, be saved, but
with many bruises and injuries
which cannot be entirely heal-
ed; but we are in danger of be-
coming as the last party, spend-
ing a lifetime in the pursuit
of vanity, forgetting the future,
and perishing even of the poison
concealed in the sweets which
atttract us.

The Jewish Museum on the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion still bears living
testimony of the Frankfurt house of Rothschild is loyalty to tradi-
tional Judaism. Among the Museum's many treasures is an
ornate, silver Hanukah menorah (top photo), made around
1840 for the Frankfurt house of Rothschild by J. H. Ph. Schott
Sohne. At the base of the nine-branched menorah is the coat of
arms (bottom) of the Rothschild family, which had been raised
to baronial rank in 1822 by the Emperor of Austria in gratitude
for services rendered to that country. The escutcheon has in
the first quarter an eagle, in reference to the Imperial and
Royal Austrian coat of arms. The second and third quarters
have the family symbol—an arm grasping five arrows, to indi-
cate the unity of the five Rothschild brothers. The fourth quarter
has a lion rampant, alluding thereby to the Hessian Electoral
Court, as Meyer Amschel Rothschild, the father, had been
Crown agent in the 18th century to the principality of Hesse-
Nassau. Flanking the coat of arms on either side of the stem
of the menorah is a unicorn and a lion, the joint emblems of
the British crown.

HILL—T T
(From The Talmud)
And it came to pass that a
great ship, while sailing upon
the ocean, was driven from its
course by a high wind and fin-
ally was becalmed close to a
pleasant-appearing island, where
they dropped achor. There grew
upon this island beautiful flow-
ers and luscious fruits in great
profusion, and tall trees lent
a cooling shade to the place,
that appeared to the ship's
passengers most desirable and
inviting. They divided them-
selves into five parties; the first
party determined not to leave
the ship, for said they, "A fair
wind may arise, the anchor may
be raised, and the ship sail on,
leaving us behind: we will not
risk the chance of missing our
destination for the temporary
pleasure which this island of-
fers." The second party went
on shore for a short time, en-
joyed the perfume of the flow-
ers, tasted the fruits, and re-
turned to the ship happy and
refreshed, finding their places
as they had left them; losing
nothing, but rather gaining in
health and spirits by the recrea-
tion of their visit on shore. The
third party also visited the
island, but they tarried on the
way. Meanwhile a fair wind
arose, seeing which they hur-
ried to the ship and arrived
