HERZL MEMORIAL MEETINGS.

(Concluded from previoirn JJU[/<!.)

to-day repudiating the exalted conceptions of their ancestors.

But the Jews were themselves perhaps to blame as they had not followed in the footsteps of Herzl. In Palestine, where the actual work of rebuilding was in progress, a spirit of cour- age and optimism prevailed which was not abashed by the present difficulties and external factors. The spirit of Pales- tine must permeate Jewry throughout the world so that these latter will then be able to strengthen the hands of the builders

of the land itself.

After the "Haskarah" had been recited, a brief address was given by Mr. I. Levitan who called upon the younger genera- tion to continue the work of the dead leader.

The evening closed with a vote of thanks by the chairman to all tho e who had participated and helped in the arrange- ments for the evening. The chairman also welcomed in their midst Mr. G10rini, the Palestine opera singer, who was there

\\'ith greeting from the homeland.

CAPETOWN.

The twentv-sixth anniversary of Dr. Herzl's <leath was com- memorated in ·Capetown last Sunday night by the holding of a meeting in the Zioni. t Hall. Dr. S. E. Kark presided over a very large gathering, and with him on the platform were Mr.

D. Mierowsky and Mr. B. L. Rubik, LL.B.

Dr. Kark stated that we set aside this day not really a a Yahrzeit, because it wa. not Herzl's death we wanted to com- memorate on it, but rather his life and works. We would do hetter to call it Herzl's day. We wanted to remember hL ·pirit and all tho e ideals for which he had given hi. life. It was

t~. ·pecially necessary for us td-day, when we were burdened with

doubts, to rem mber Herzl's grf'at faith in hims If anfl in us and thf' v .. ·orlcl g-enerall y.

Herzl had been the crowning glory of th last decade of .Jewry. Zangwill had aid of him: "He was a pdnce in Israel,"

hut the peaker would say not only wa he a prince in Israel.

hut rather what had been . aid of another prince: "He was a prince towering in his greatnes above ev ryone for the las•

r everal centuries."

At the conclu ion of hi addre s Dr. Kark introduced to lhe gathering Mr. Mierowsky, after ~hich he called on him to

~peak.

Mr. Mierow ky, at the outset, referred to the facts that he had recently heard that in Vienna it had been decided not to commemora~ Herzl'.s Yahrzeit this year. He did not know what the u_nderlymg motives of this decision were, but if it was to . ubst1tute the commemoration by a celebration of his birthday, then he had nothing but praise for those responsible. If, on the other_ ha~d, the event was to be entirely omitted with no such 'Ub tituhon, one of the greatest historical blunders was being committed.

If it had been merely a que. tion of commemornting- only a great man, a great_ statesman, philo opher, etc., the Viennese would have been qmte correct--it would have been time to dis- continue these function . But Herzl to us meant much more than a great man, or a great philosopher. Herzl to us war;;

. ymbolic of the mo t beautiful chapter of a romance the world h~d ~ver known. It was a beautiful chapter in the romance of Z10msm and the first chapter in the rejuvenation of the Jewish people.

. In vie":" of the large _number of young people in the hall,

~aid .Mi:_. Mierowsky, he w1shed to dwell on the romantic aspect of Z10msm . . The world of romance knew of no greater, truer, more pathetic love- tory than the love of the Jewish soul for Palestine. The . peaker de cribed the tie between the Jewish people and Eretz Israel as "an elastic cord" which the hard·~r one pulled, th~ wider. and stronger it grew. Persecution, tor- ture, deg:radabon during the centurie. of dispersion ha·I onlv

increa. ed this love. ·

.Palestine had perme.ated the live. and conceptions of the Jew1sh peo~le. It had ~wen them, becau.e of its very natme becau.e of 1t, ."erv varie~y, a conception of life which was re- markable f oi- 1t,,.. harmomou. blending of the spiritual and r,1ate1 ial.

Why cl id this devotion to Pale. tine exist'? asked th"

.·peaker . . The ans~:er to him v.as plain. The Jew and the soil of. Pale .tme were 1!1s?lubly combined. As long- as a Jew re- tamed 111s charn~ten.-tics he wa. a Pale.~tinian. The attitude of a Jew to Pale tme could always act as a gaug:: to his Jewish- ne ...
