Text Appearing Before Image: attempt to define His motive in this tragic end of agreat person. God sometimes, in His infinite wisdom,selects a man to designate that his life may be remem-bered by all mankind. At the conclusion of the CivilWar it seemed to every one that the life of AbrahamLincoln was complete. His work, a great work, hadbeen accomplished. Yet God saw one thing lacking.To perpetuate through the annals of time itself, onething was essential. And God designated him and madea martyr of him. *Isidor Straus was a great Jew. All the traditionsof the Jew were dear to his heart. In the past we, asJews, have been able to say the Jews are great philan-thropists. Now when we are asked, Can a Jew diebravely? there is an answer in the annals of time. Whenwe are asked, *What enabled Isidor Straus to do allthese things? our answer must be,God blessed him andgave him Ida Straus. Isidor and Ida Straus were twopersons with a single thought. Beloved and adored ofeach other in life, in death they were not separated.
