"You think, then," asked Jacob, "that morals should have no part in the government of nations?"
"Morals! There is no sense in the word. Politics exclude morals."
"If that is your profession of faith, all discussion is impossible between us. I believe in morality, always and everywhere, and every time that an injury is done to it I call on the justice of God."
"God! Justice! You believe in that? Are you a Catholic?"
"No; I am a Jew."
Bavorof had never met a Jew of this stamp. He looked at him in astonishment, and asked:--
"German Jew?"
"No; Polish."
"Does Poland contain many Jews who think and reason like you?"
"I do not understand the question."
