STILL VAST AREAS UNSETTLED Over Twrnty-ElBht Million Imm Brents Have Come Into the t nlte.l atatea from All the .atlona of Karth. Younger Jews Must Look Back Prof. Nathan Bernstein Tells I. 0. B. B. the Work of Their Fathers Must Inspire Them. Prof. Nathan Bernstein of the Omaha High achool spoke to the Young Men's Mo Klnley lodge I. O. B. B. Sunday after noon, at the lodge rooma In the Continental block. In an earnest manner he appealed to the younger Jew before him and those in America, to let the work of their an cestors inspire them that In the end they might prove their case and a Just appre ciation for the part they are taking in tho world. "The social unrest which Is so conspicu ous a feature of the Twentieth century civilisation, Is not sparing the Jew," said Prof. Bernstein. F.specially Is this noticeable among the younger element, educated by the public achool to see little difference between him self and other Americans, he is beginning to Inquire Into meaning of his continued ex istence. Trained to believe that Judaism stands for religion and not for a race, he must needs understand that religion and obey its tenets more faithfully if his long existence among the nations of the earth ia to be Justified. That he may have a proper pride In hla blood and ancestry re- qulrea him to believe in the principle of Noblesse Oblige-" The pride of the alumnus 'in his college is due to the traditions and achievements of th college. It inspires him with cour age to Justify' the college Ideals. His loyalty to these Ideals 1 compounded of faith In what other alumni have been able to achieve. He is the better man for hav ing breathed in thla atmosphere, for hav ing lived in this environment. No college can claim a longer nor a stronger life than the Jew. In none are traditions of so lofty and Inspiring a value. The Jew links ancient, modern and recent history. Were It not for his faith In the persistence of the ancient Ideals, the darknesa of the mediaeval age had overpowered the Intellect which kept alive the feebly burning lamp of learn ing that drear time. If all thla inspires the Jew with a Just and proper pride, it en talla on him no leas a reMponsiblllty. If during many years of travel he remained true to hla Ideals, he must not, he dare not, in a more favorable soil allow the flcwsr of his culture to become withered for want of proper nurture. If young Isruel expects to reap the reward awarded to those who further the course of civiliza tion, they must not shirk its duties. As many of them have greater an better ad vantages than their sires, so much stronger and batter laborers must they be in the cause of humanity. If prejudice exiats, the opon records of young Israel's life must be the proof of its baseless fabric. If blood counts for anything they will not fail the test. A study of the history and the tenets of their anceatral faith will inspire them with a xeal to again become and remain leadera in the world's uplift. Then will they show the world that Israel's mission is peace and as of old will help not only themselves, but all the world to become the Lord'a anointed, not only in a scriptural, but no less in a philosophic sense. j WASHINGTON, .May 10-Of the people In the t'nlti-d Stales and Alaska, aixnii one third live In the ihlrieen orlghml states.
