Excerpt from Esther and Harbonah Nearly forty years have passed since I wrote this play. I wrote it for my young pe0p1e, for the cause of religious Loyalty, to keep them strong therein. To-day other problems are forced upon our at tention, some of them emphasized by the great War. Among them are social and religious questions, such as religious loyalty which keeps Protestant sects apart from each other, antagonizes Catholic, Greek Church and Protestant, and frowns upon intermarriage. Religious loyalty is one of the chief features of the Bible-book upon which this play is based. Hence the condemnation of intermarriage in two scenes of the play. And it is highly probable that the racial, social and religious asperities, prejudices, hatreds, etc., which will naturally be the aftermath of the present War, will bring forward the problem of removal of Jew ish disabilities in lands where disabilities exist, and above all, the question, Who shall have Pales tine, when the future of Syria shall engage the great Powers' attention.

And it is highly probable that the racial, social and religious asperities, prejudices, hatreds, etc., which will naturally be the aftermath of the present War, will bring forward the problem of removal of Jewish disabilities in lands where disabilities exist, and above all, the question, "Who shall have Palestine," when the future of Syria shall engage the great Power's attention. Hence Harbonah's earnest championship of the Jewish people, and his presentation of the high ideals of law and order, love, chastity and industry, for which the Jews have stood throughout all the centuries, thus earning the right to receive the consideration of the world. Religious growths, thought-growths, all growths, must vary. Variation is God's own Law. There is room for all, provided they injure not. There is something good and something useful in all. Our problem is to e-ducate, i. e., lead it out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Beauty Crowned: Or the Story of Esther, the Jewish MaidenThis story furnishes glimpses of the court of a Persian king, his harem, and his palace; it refers to many customs connected with social and domestic life; it portrays the character of an Oriental despot and outlines the organization of his government; and it proclaims the queenliness of a beautiful woman when possessed of corresponding graces of mind and heart. The story touches history at so many points, and the references to laws and customs - many of them undesigned - are so numerous, that it were easy to detect a mistake, if the writer were not true to facts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Book of Esther The various literary and ethical and religious characteristics of the Book of Esther, and the history of opinions regarding it, in the Jewish and in the Christian church, give it, in some respects at least, a position quite unique, and accordingly invite our study. The story of the book is, briefly, as follows: The Persian king, Ahasuerus, makes a magnificent feast, first for all his princes and nobles, and then for all the inhabitants of Susa. The king orders Vashti, the queen, to appear in public. She refuses, and is de posed from her position as queen. It being necessary to choose a new queen, fair young virgins are brought in from all parts of the empire, that from them the king may make his choice. The result is, that Esther, a beautiful Jewish maiden, the adopted daughter of Mordecai, is chosen. Mordecai subsequently reveals a conspiracy against the king, and thus saves the king's life. He refuses, moreover, to give the customary obeisance to Haman, the king's favorite. Haman, in revenge, plots to slay the whole Jewish race throughout the empire. Having been obliged by the command of the king to be an involuntary instrument in confer ring high honor upon Mordecai, his passion of revenge becomes still deeper. Esther, however, skilfully using her charms and power as the king's favorite, obtains what is virtually a complete reversal of the destructive decree. Haman is hanged upon the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai. The Jews, under the encouragement of a royal decree, fall upon their enemies, and slay them. The festival of Purim is instituted to commemorate this glorious deliverance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
