THE MAIDEN IN THE TEMPLE.
The First Woman Since Deborah
to Preach in Synagogue.

to Preach in u Synagogue.
San Francisco Examiner.
Miss Rap Frank, a daughter Of Israel,
has addressed a congregation in a syha-
gogue. That woman should preach 10
the Jews In one OF their temples is moro
than unusual; 1t has but one precedent
in all time. The prophecies Deborah
spoke in the synagogue. Years counted
by centuries passed before another
woman was accorded similar honor.
This second Deborah is Miss Frank, q
young Californian, q resident OF Oak
land.
The synagogue in which che first
spoke to those ot her race and religion
is in Seattle. She was deemed compe-
tent to preach and was asked TO speak
from the pulpit. III know that 1t is nn-
usual and that in the history OF our
people no woman except Dcborah spoke
In the synagogue, yet the experience did
not seem strange" said Miss Frank.
i This young woman WAS born In Cali
lfornis and educated at the public
lschoOls. A. the stste university s'r
took q special course In philosophy.
Il Her intention is 10 go next year 10 Cin-
cinnati and TO study in the Theological
SEMINARY OF the Hebrews there situated.
/, She ia now familiar with the Hebrew
Language and Literature. and having
made a special study of philosophy is
eouipped Tor the theological course she
expects TO take. Miss Frank has taught
lin the public schools 10 Nevada and
Z. California. and now lives ut 1853 Seven
lteenth-st. Oakland. A sister Is teacher
lin The Oakland high school.
Recently she delivered lecture in
Oakland and Sacramento on "Heart
Throbs OF Israel" aud soon will deliver
this lecture in San Francisco.
Miss Frank evidently has \ purpose 10

Ilgion Ia evident. BY the Hebrews
! OF this coast Miss Franks course Is
viewed with great interest and atten-
y lion. Because Of this interest Miss
e Frank was asked to write tor the FIX
aminer an article descriptive Of her pur-
poses. White she has avoided hriuging
her own personality into her contribn-
ton she gave an outline OF her belief
and incidentally SURVEYS a common

purpose may be To endeavor to bring

A Question.

For the Courier.
There IL, perhaps. no very easy point
in grammar. but mode seems TO he "a
TAR in the back ground as any subject
about il. The definition given ny gram
marians is about the same, viz: Mode
10 the manner OF expression. Let us
now take a special view OF the subjunc-
tive mode. The definition given by all
prammarians. who recognize five modes
is that 1.-The subjunctive mode expresses
doubt, condition or contingency" No~
let us see. Butler says the suhjunctive
mode has six lenses. Gould Brown
gives the same only two-thc present
and past. Holbrook says, The sub
iunctive mode has three tenaes--present I
past, and past perfect" The grammar
now IN use In our schools gives the snb
iunctive mode two lenses Only-th,
present and past. Let us now study IN,
definition given, and see what we are u
do with the following sentences: II
John has arrived l shall see him" "If
had eeen him. would have spoken &
him" Now leave the Introductory (ii
out and you have John has arrived, etc
and, I had eeen him, etc. II 10 Difficult
10 say that the fret 10 not present per
feet, and the last pact perfect. Il
equally difficult to follow Butler an
!. imagine the aubjunctive mode and II
. ture tense-for instance: II ] shall hav
arrived, or, If / shall be loved.

light on this subject?
