Excerpt from Yahvism, and Other Discourses

The issue of this volume is due to the desire of the Louisville Section of the Council of Jewish Women to show its reverence and affection for the memory of the sainted author. The editor appreciates the honor of having been entrusted with his task. He has had delight in rendering this humble service of love to the undying soul of his late colleague and friend. His only regret is that he has been unable to fulfill his duty less imperfectly. But it has not been easy to choose out of a mass of material the portion most valuable and fit for a book such as this. Moreover, few of the discourses were left by their writer in a state appropriate to publication in permanent form, and the editor, while seeking to present the text in most readable shape, has not dared to take liberties with the matter at hand. It is his fervid hope, however, that his work may further the aims and ideals of his lamented friend, to whom, surely, naught might have been more pleasing, as a sign of love and gratitude, than the publishing of such a volume.

Also, the editor wishes to give thanks to the members of the Publication Committee of the Louisville Section of the Council of Jewish Women for aid in various matters; to the several friends who kindly lent him some letters unveiling the depth of feeling and friendship that was in the author; to Rabbi Isaac S. Moses, for data bearing on his lamented brothers early life; and, above all, to Mrs. Moses and her family for valuable help, especially to Mr. Melville Moses, who for some years had been collecting most piously the writings of his father, and thus unconsciously cleared the way for the present work.
