had charge of the congregation but
Il short while, coming here from California.
In his sermon last Friday night the listen
ers detected q strange manner, and equally
strange utterances, greatly atvariancc with
his usual style. He stated that his aged
mother, who lives in Germany, had been
sick and he had spiritual warning Of her
death, then he branched otfinto discourse
on spiritualism, being almost frantic ut
times in his words and gestures. The dis
course was so long and strange that many
of the congregation fancied he was raving
and got up and left. Yesterday morning
he children Of the Hebrew syna-
gogue assembled at the usual hour
and the rabbi was on hand, but instead OF
instructing the pupils, as was his wont, he
invited the astonished children ont into the
street and ranged them in q line facing the
style Of architecture, with innumerablt

pointed to them, saying those are crosses

wild talk etlectually dazed the children, and
they scampered home. In the afternoon q
committee Of leading Hebrews visited Dr.
Mays residence and talked with him. The
result of the visit was that physicians
were called in and he was placed under
their charge. The Rabbits friends say that
spiritualism seems to be his hobby. and he
firmly believes he has had message an.
nounclng his mothers death. Mental
anxiety, il is presumed, has temporarily nm
settled his mind. He is now under the care
