Truly may it be said ofhim;~ -
How blest the righteous when he dies,

While Heaven and earth combine to say
How hcst the righteous when he dies.

AT THE SYNAGOGUE.
Rabbi Rosenberg on the Indispen-
stability Of Religion.

There was large attendance at the
synagogue last evening" to hear Rabbi
ROsenberg's lecture on the indisa-
bility of religion. He commenced the
discourse by reading from the bible
tn sentences: ''And he did eat and
drink and went his way: Thus Esau
desplsed his birthright." He COM
pared great many people of the
world to Esau who only lived to on
joy such pleasures and eschew spirit
ual things. People were too prone to
run after the theories of certain
scientists who in reading the book Of
nature had thought they had dis
covered fatal contradictions, and
therefore concluded that the bible
was simply a collection of supersti-
tions. II life was mere bubble, and
that death was the end of the soul,
why should man not, during his en-
istense here on earth, have as good a
time as possible. Why curb passion,
why restrain lust, why respect an
another mans rights. He then COM
mented upon the present condition of
affairs which made some men very
rich, and the poor poorer. The state
and human society must be reorg-
nized and new laws must be passed
which will place all on q basis OF
equality. He then touched upon
marriage, and showed 1t to be one OF
the institutions of religion, and that
these who persons were calling the
Bible book of superstitiOns, were
advocating free love, which he con-
demned in the strongest terms. He
promised at another time to deliver a
lecture showing the Importance OF
religion from scientific standpoint.
