was involved very deeply with the radicals, and was close to
Moses Hess when the latter worked with Marx and Engels.
Geiger's investigation in Breslau, conducted by the Bunde-
stag within a year of Auerbach's release from jail, would have
to be quashed. It is interesting to note that while the Jewish
Encyclopedia of 1906 makes mention of Auerbach's
imprisonment, the supposedly more comprehensive recent
Encyclopedia Judaica obliterates the information entirely.
Excerpts from Geiger's first Breslau sermon are reproduced
here.
Assume that the time has come when you will stand before
the Judgment Seat of God, and that He will say to you: "I have
made known to you through My prophets the profoundest
essence of the Word that was revealed to you: It hath been
told thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord doth
require of thee: Only to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God. And He will ask you now:
"Have you truly dealt justly with all men, even with those not of
your faith? Have you been mild and forbearing? Have you not,
in smug self-righteousness, overrating your own worth and
your own piety, forgotten about Me, your God?" If you must
then answer (since there can be no concealment of guilt
before Divine Omniscience): "O Lord, I have adhered to many
statutes and have kept them with scrupulous care—but I have
not always been just," would you not then realize that you had
neglected eternal values for the sake of transitory things?
There is an ancient tale about a dispute among straw, stubble
and chaff. Each of these three boasted that the field had been
sown for its sake alone. The grain of wheat, however, listened
to the quarrel from afar and said, "Wait until the owner of the
field comes, and then we shall see for whose sake the seed
has been sown." And behold, at harvest time the owner came;
he cast the straw to the ground, he burned the stubble, and
threw the chaff to the winds. But he gathered the grains of
wheat and guarded them carefully.
