We publish this our second issue Of the
TINES under difficulties not less trying
than we encounted with our first number
last week. Our new printing press and ma
tcrials ordered from Chicago came to hand
only three days ago and the short time we
have had to put them IN working order, has
prccluded that attention to this week :
paper which we would like to bestow upon
ii. w therefore solicit the forbcarance of
onr friends for another week, by which
time we hope to be prepared to issue the
T,ns. in Its full size.
Our expenses in getting established are
very large, and we respectfully solicit the
patronage Of every friend of Superior, both
resident and nonresident, in the way Of
subscriptions, advertisements and job work.
BY their aid We hope to make the TINES
q paper that will do credit to Superior, a
city thatshas such brilliant destiny.

The SERMON AND LECTURE OF REV. DR..
SzoLp-AN AGREEABLE VIsIT.-It was
stated day or two ago that the Rev. DR..
B. Sold, q celebrated Jewish divine from
Baltimore, had, through the recommended
ton of Rev. DR.. Bethlehem, been invited
by the Hebrew Benevolent Association, G
Young and useful beneficial organization, to
deliver lecture in Richmond. DR.. Sold
arrived on Saturday, and on the same day
delivered q sermon in German before the
congregation Beth Ahabah at the Eleventh
Street synagogue. The subject of the SER
mon was "The Two Pillars of True Re-
lieion," and it YVES handled in a manner
which gave unanimous satisfaction to oil
audience which crowded the synagogue to
it's utmost capacity.
On Sunday afternoon, at the same
place, DR.. Sold delivered his lecture in
Euglish on the "Life and Works of Moses
Maimonides.:: 1t was q plain biographical
sketch, but included ON elaborate and
scholarlike disquisition upon the spiritual
development of this great Rabblnlcal
teacher and philosopher. Clouds and rain
prevented the assemblage from being as
large as it otherwise would, but neverthe-
less the synagogue was crowded, ana the
lecture was received with general appro-
baton.
After the lecture, the distinguished lee
turer and number Of invited guests were
handsomely entertained by Mr.. NJ. May at
his restaurant, on Broad street. Remarks
we're made by Drs. Sold and Bethlehem,
Hon. William Lovenstein, Messrs. Becher,
Millhiser, Wise, Bowman, stroock, and
others, and everything passed of pleasantly:
DR.. Szold's visit has been source OF
intellectual pleasure to many beside his
Hebrew friends, and we hope he may carry
away with him impressions of Richmond af
agreeable as those who have made his ac-
ouaintance and who have heard his lecture
will ever cherish of him.
