but he did not commit suicide, nor did he starve. there is always one last refuge for the failures of the ghetto, and elkan's easy experience with the jewish philanthropist had prepared the way for dealings with the christian.

to-day the rev. moses elkan, 'the converted jew,' preaches eloquently to his blind brethren who never come to hear him. for he has 'found the light.' exeter hall's exposition of the jewish prophecies has opened his eyes, and though his foes have been those of his own household, yet, remembering the terrible text, 'he that loveth son or daughter more than me [310]is not worthy of me,' he has taken up his cross and followed after christ alone.

and even if the good souls for whose thousands of pounds he is the annual interest should discover his true past—through this tale-bearer or another—is there not but the more joy over the sinner that repenteth?

duties neglected, deadly sins trailing in the actual world their unchangeable irreversible consequences—all this is irrelevant. he has 'found the light.'

and so, while haigitcha walks in darkness, yvonne prays in her chapel and elkan preaches in his church.
