He said thai the Jew wag seen at his best when considered with' reference to his passion for knowledge, for his loyalty te Judaism, his charity, his home life and his Idealism. The Jew with religious and spiritual ideals, the speaHer said, was found in all ranks of life, and he declared that the Jew who would, make the greatest contribution te American thought would be not a representative of the older Jewish families, but one who bad come to America within the last quarter of a century. "The Jew is pre-eminently the religious idealism," eaid Dr.. Wise. "The Jew has an incurable disease the disease of idealism. This has made him again and again leader in great world movements."
