To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Does it seem sad that the future is pledged to a remnant, and only a remnant? Such is God's universal way of working throughout all nature. Of the many seeds sown but few come to fruition ; and no synagogue may hope to gather fruit /from all the seeds it plants. A reading of the history of this or of any other historic con- gregation evinces the same law of the survival of only a chosen remnant, and reveals to us a continuous infiltration of new forces to maintain the congregation. The personne...l of every congregation inevitably changes with time's relentless flow. As we number the congregation to-day, how many can we count bearing the honored name of Judah, Gomez, Hart, Hays or Seixas families once so numerous in this synagogue ? Families become scattered ; time's irresistible democracy brings low those who sit in high places and raises the lowly, and nature inexorably decrees that human stock must die out unless it be rejuvenated by an infusion of new blood. Therefore, as we number the congregation and lament that the young do not always take the place of the old trusted warriors who are taken from us, shall we not aver that no congregation can live wholly on its inherited forces?
