pages than it now includes, but it has been restricted to its present
bounds only by eliminating much that was germane to its subject. The
grand fabric of Jewish charity, whose broad expanse extends throughout
the land, compassing every element of society, responsive to every call
of humanity, expressive of every trait of civilization and conducive
to every avenue of culture, has been adverted to but incidentally. In
the field of philanthropic effort the Jewish citizens of the American
Union may unhesitatingly claim to have built for themselves monuments
more numerous and larger by far than their proportionate share; in
this field the historic spirit of Judaism continues even increasingly
to manifest itself. In this field and in this alone the Jewish spirit
has been materialistic. Its forces have been directed not to saving
souls by a change of creed, but by bettering the conditions of human
existence. The great ideals of Judaism, the universal fatherhood of
God, the universal brotherhood of men, and the direct responsibility of
every human being to the Maker of all, have steadfastly been upheld,
but its forces have not been exerted in striving to make good the
seeming shortcomings of the Divine nature, but in striving to make good
the essential shortcomings of our human nature, by alleviating the
distresses arising from the constitution of society and by lessening
the sufferings that are inevitably incident to the conditions of life.
To this end the American Jewish citizens have organized a widely
diversified system of relief for the sick and the needy, and while
so doing have not restricted their efforts within denominational
bounds, but have opened their doors and stretched out their hands to
all humanity. Not alone, however, in dealing with conditions that
are inseparable from the social system, but furthermore in dealing
with such as are removable, in educating and lifting up those of the
community who are in need of fostering care, in furthering the spread
of intelligence and in raising the standard of citizenship, the Jewish
people have been unceasingly active, and especially so in free America,
where, as the foregoing pages have recorded, they have stood from
the very beginning "shoulder to shoulder" with their fellow citizens
of every creed, in every movement that has made for freedom and for
liberty, for culture and for charity. And well they might. To no others
of the Old World denizens was the New World more completely new; for
no other people has the promise of the Columbian epoch been more
completely fulfilled than for the Jews.
And, therefore, more especially while the closing years of the
nineteenth century have seen its brilliant promise darkened by a broad
shadow of the Middle Ages; while the ghastly tragedy that marked in
Spain the opening year of American discovery is being rehearsed in
Russia with all the effects of modern aggrandizement, we may not better
close this book than with the grand apostrophe of the Columbian year
that has been left us by the Jewish poetess, Emma Lazarus:
Thou, two-faced year, mother of Change and Fate,
Didst weep when Spain cast forth with flaming sword
The children of the prophets of the Lord.
Prince, priest and people spurned by zealot hate,
Hounded from sea to sea, from state to state,
The West refused them and the East abhorred,
No anchorage the known world could afford,
Close locked was every port, barred every gate.
Then smiling, thou unveil'dst, O two-faced year,
A virgin world where doors of sunset part,
Saying, 'Ho, all who weary, enter here!
Here falls each ancient barrier that the art
Of race or creed or rank devised, to rear
Grim-bulwarked hatred between heart and heart.'

The Golden Day
And Miscellaneous Poems
By WILLIAM T. DUMAS
Broad Octavo. 144 pp. Cloth. Price, $1.00
"THE GOLDEN DAY," the first portion of the work, is a series of poems
beginning with "Cock-Crowing" and leading the reader through various
scenes to the evening. The design of this portion is to portray the
day in the Sunny South, as is evinced by such titles as "The Fox
Hunt," "The Dinner Horn," "Corn Husking," etc. Interwoven with these
are sonnets and longer pieces on a variety of themes, sentimental,
humorous, lyrical.
Of the miscellaneous poems, undoubtedly the finest, in phrasing, meter
and conception is "The Cyclone." It is in a strong dactylic verse
and is a gem. "Joy: an ode" is of a different type, but full of fine
expression. In this portion of the work is also contained an "Ode on
the death of Jefferson Davis" and a tribute to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
entitled "From the Valley of the Shadow." A number of the author's
earlier poems are also included in the volume.
This production, taken as a whole, stamps the author as possessing in
a high degree the true poetic spirit, and his renditions cannot fail
to find an appreciative audience, not only throughout the South, but
wherever the memories of its former times are harmonized with the
realizations of to-day. The book is a well bound and superbly printed
octavo of 144 pages. Price $1.00. For sale by all booksellers.
