more fitting that his Inauguration begin

alumni.
The Inaugural address waa given In the
Memorial chapel, the restoration of

"Under the federal constitution the Na

It has remained nearly stationary.
"It seems to me that these defects can
be traced directly to the fact that the
National Guard Is ia faot a state military

upon them. It is a catalogue of crime,
end as a Christian roan, with shame for
the .Christian church,' I confess and ad
mit that ths church whose professed
faith Is charity and love for all, for the
brother hood of men, for the Fatherhood
of God, and notwithstanding that pro
feseed faith has inflicted such cruelty and
Injury upon the Jew. Not because he
waa a sinner above all ether einners, but
because he was a Jew, And for this rea
son they made an outcast of him, un
sheltered by the Christian stato, un
shielded by ths Christian church, and vic
timised by both." i
"It la a fact embedded in the history
of the pest and the right, the proper.
the just, thing for the Christian church
te do, is to try to pay-In full measure
it never can but to try to pay that
reparation debt, and how Is the Urn.
"In thla his bitter hoar, In his starving
and suffering hour, bow Is the time to

the payment now should be made aad I
appeal not merely to. the sons of Zlon
here, my Jewieh fellow cltisena, but I ap
peal to my Christian fellow cltlsens In
this land to pay and discharge promptly
and generously this reparation debt to the
Jew, .
"It has been Intimated In the communi
cation from the vice president It Is also
civilisation's debt te the Jew, for wha
that is familiar with his history can fall
to recognise the Invaluable eirioa which
ne nas rendered te the pro cress of man

yend dispute, that there Is eoaroely any
branch of art. or science, er litorarura.

rendered great servtoe to civilisation, and
accomplished notable results. .
"Of course 1 do net mean to say or
Imply that thla Is true ef the whole
Jewish reoe, but neither Is It true ef any
raoe or people In Its entirety, but a race
er a people should be er ought to be
judged, not by their worst but by their
beat and no one who Is not history-blind
can fail to recognise the notable service
which the Jew at his best will compare
with the best of any raoe up to our
modern civilisation, from Moses, the great
teacher ef rtghteousnaea, down to Moaes
Mendelssohn, the great philosopher and
tblnkerj from Isaiah te Epinosa. the war
god Intoxicated, aad many more in other
days of scarcely lees repute.
"I say it Is civilisation's dsbt to the
Jew and bow I say again in this, his
sad snd bitter hour, hie afflicted hour,
hie suffering, his homeless, his starving
hour, now Is the time, for civilisation te
pay the debt which It owes to the Jew.
"but beyond all that and higher per
haps than all that It la humanity's
debt Come one has said that human re
lationships, aa they become less close,
are more difficult to moralise, and It Is
true, but human relationships today are
becoming not leee close, but more dose.
Human life everywhere, la spite ef our
present belligerency and strife. Is touch
ing human life, rather tt is touching it
self, everywhere touching Itself. It la all
one.
"I recall that Emerson. In his eesay, I
think, oa the 'Amerloaa Scholar,' says
something like this: The gods at the
outset divided man late men that they
might be helpful te himself, as the hand
Is divided Into ftneers to better serve Its

"Therefore. I say It la humanity's debt
to the Jew and I appeal to that'humanlty
ef the American people, which la the
boast the legitimate boast the only
worth while boast and glory of ths
American people, which never falls to
respond to any human needs, no matter

humanity, that American humanity, to
