18•, Lewis Mumford
In "The Conduct of Life"
The binding force of an
ethical force based on pur-
pose has been dramatically
confirmed in the history of
the Jews: its practical con-
summation in our time per-
haps merits our special note.
Scattered to the four corners
of the earth, the Jews, dur-
:lig the long period of the
Dispersion, s t i 11 retained
their faith in a divine pro-
mise: in the restoration of
Jerusalem, in the advent of
a Messiah, and finally, in

the prophecy of Isaiah, of the

Jews have performed the in-
credible feat of returning as
a unified political group to
their native home in Pales-
tine. Thus a collective pur-
pose, working over an al-
most cosmic stretch of time,
has brought its own fulfill-
ment. By that fact, every
contributory ceremony and
ritual and prayer, every
hardship and sacrifice, has
been retrospectively just-
ified. The mere existence of
Israel today is a testimonial
to the dynamics of purposive
development. If the Greeks
had had such a vision of life,
they might have left an even
deeper impression upon mod-

coincident coming of a day
when the nations will no
longer war against one an-
other, but join together in
ways of peace.
