The first List was accompanied BY circular
letter making thee following modest demands:
l. That each house be provided with we'll
printed Bible; 2. That the selections Be read
aloud at the family table every evening 3.

In addition to this, before the sermon every
Sabbath there was Bible reading, and oc-
casionally an expository discourse. In the
course of single year tho whole readable por-
ions Of the Bible had bean gone through.
Many Letters were from time to time received
with reference to the selections, proving the
actual interest that had been aroused. The

ever we are forbidden to cross the Jordan o
the accomplishment of our dearly cherished
plans, let us be content, as did the great and
noble servant of God, and feel that like him
are we but servants, and that the Master willed
not that we do that work. Only live We
nobly, strive honorably and act righteously
and ours is the eternal victory.
The brighter day dawns, Oh ye vanquished,
Who toll in the battle of life
A day of encouragement holy
Full free from contention and strife.
Defeated in many struggle,
A pean OF triumph yell sing,
And night time of dark, anxious waiting,
Shall surely golden day bring.
80 bright on horizon eternal,
A vision of glory see,
day-tim of happiness vernal,
A glorious triumph for thee

Who bravely, persistently trod
The earth-life in sorrow and sadness,
Rests at length in peace with his God"
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1893-12-01

The man who denounces Bible critic as
bad Jew, is q blockhead, or malicious meddler
in things of which he is thoroughly ignorant.
He does not know that Bible criticism, like
evolution, is working theory, by aid Of which
new truth is constantly being developed.
Bible criticism, 50 far as it is current among
Hebrews, n ither affects the integrity Of fhe
Scriptures as the sacred encyclopedias of Israel,
nor does it affect the validity Of the law of
Moses as an efficient rule Of action and . fashio-
ner of the conduct Of men. Nor does it affect
the strength of Jewish doctrine, ~ it has
evolved from the teachings of numberless gem
erations and 50 far Is it is an expression Of the
consciousness of the people This silly conten-
ton as to whether thinking Jew is good
Jew, and as to whether liberal teacher, IL
safe teacher ought to stop. At any rate ought
never to be raised by ignoramuses, who cannot
even define the term Bible criticism.-Dr.
Hoorsanger in The Jes0ish Progress.

BIBLE READINGS.

The study of the Bible is too often neglected
by us. The Mohammedans call MS 1.-THE
people of the Book" We deserve rather to
be designated as The people who know least
about the Book" What shall be done to
make the Bible again what it was once to MS?
Good work is undoubtedly being done by Bible
classes that are everywhere springing up in
connection with the synagogue. There are,
however, certain things to be pointed out
here-things which if not attended to will
mar much of the usefulness of these organiza-
tions. First and foremost, those conducting
them must come thoroughly prepared. Per-
functory preparation is injurious both to the
teacher and his class. All solid work put into
the preparation of lesson remains for all
time. The contagion, too, of careful prep
aration is marvellous to behold Questions
are often asked by those in attendance and
evasive answers given. The result is easily
foreseen.
Every class should have at hand in the as
sembly-room, few carefully selected books
bearing on the subjects discussed. 1t is need
less 10 say That Inc teacher SHOULD nave good
ly supply of standard up to date books on his
own shelf.
Questions should be encouraged. 1t is easy
for the experienced teacher to elicit inquiries
involuntarily. On all such questions that he
has drapn from his class, his thought should
be clear, else the information which he imparts
will be hazy. This must be avoided at al
COST After covering certain ground within
given time, e. g., the Pentateuch, experience
has shown that it is profitable to repeat by
topical expeditions or talks" For these,
the writing of papers should be encouraged,
followed by discussion. We have seen the
greatest interest manifested in these. 1t is not
the quantity of ground covered that counts,
but the quality. This is one way to remedy
the prevailing evil.
Another means in the same direction sug-
gested itself to the writer some years ago. 1t
was put in actual operation with lasting pro-
fit, and the scheme was copied in other places

children, and scores of friends and homes that
are sacred, even to the angel of death ? These
are the victors in life and we deem them happy.
Look now to the other picture. Are there
not some men, who seem never to be able to
gain anything, who never begin thing, but
it ends disastrously, who never struggle but
what they are defeated, who are mayhap, even
more conscientious, more honorable, more OBJ
servant and moro attentive to their duties than
their victorious brothers, Yet, not the dove
of peaceful conquest, but the ominous buzzard
of defeat whirls and circles above their heads,
watching and waiting for the carrion of their
baked plans, and swooping down ever and
anon to feast upon the carcass of their dead
hopes. To them pain is a constant companion,
the hunger of despair gnaws at their heart,
sickness and death invade their homes, they
bite their lip in the anguish of impotence to
see their children feel the numb pain of their
fathers defeat, and have the sin of their weak
ness visited upon their offspring. These are
the vanquished in life, we deem them unhappy
and to be pitied.
Yet shall we say that they are utterly van
quished and unhappy? After all, the victory
of life is not the victory merely over its
material conditions. There is an inward strug-
gle as well. There is life within which is
also q contest to be gained or lost.
Our material success or failure is not always
of our own doing. do not intend in anywise
to preach fatalism or predestination. Far is
it from my mind to deny the existence of mans
own free-will and self responsibility. Well do
know that industry and thrift and economy,
and not fortune or chance are the roads to
prosperity, yet let us not forget that He who
lifteth the fallen, and healeth the sick and
setteth the captive Free hath also ordained that
there shall be those fallen, and those sick and
those fettered. He, by whose finger nations
and empires are moved about as pawns on the
chess-board of history, does also guide and
guard the destinies of individual life, and there
is none too small forHis lowering care. He
has given us assurance that all victory lies not
in outward conditions, nor are they all the
vanquished, who SO appear in the eyes of men.
Life is q moral obligation, as we'll as strug-
gle for physical pleasures and success There
is victory to be won in the one as well as in
the other. And he who wins in the first, who
accepts and honestly and conscientiously full
fills that obligation as it is given to him to see
it, he is not the vanquished, but the victor,
cen though material prosperity may not have
followed him, and pain and sorrow may have
claimed him as their own.
Many a man has, like Israel's lawgiver,
toiled and striven for an end, only like him to
stand on the border-land of its accomplish
ment and be forbidden to cross. Yet do we
count the lawgiver among those who have

the worlds educational congresses. The
most distinguished educators from all

views. We hope for two things in con-
nection with their meetings. Yes, come
to think of it, three. One is that they
will do what. so far as we know, no
body of school teachers or doctors ever
did yet--have their meeting rooms well
ventilated, so that good, pure air will be
in circulation. Another is that they
will tell us why the proportion of con-
victs who can read and write is steadily
increasing in our penitentiaries. Tho
third is this, Why is it that in a news

1t is pity that DR.. Adolph Soetbeer
did not live to greet the international
silver conference at Brussels and give it
the light of his great thought. DIR. Scot
beer was seventy eight years old and a
professor at the university of Gottingen.
He was the highest authority in the
world in matters pertaining to the coin
age of money. With the conscientious,
painstaking quality Of the German mind,
he investigated everything pertaining to
money and finance, beginning with the
amount of gold and silver dug from the
worlds mines year by year, as far back
as any record goes. Coinage and bank
ing laws also came under his careful
study. One OF his most important works
is the history of the production of the
precious metals since the discovery of
America by Columbus. DIR. Soetbeer
was bimetallist and his plan for max
ing gold and silver money circulate to-
gether will doubtless be the arting
point for all schemes to that effect for
many years to come.

INTERESTING INFORMATION.

The New York correspondent OF the
San Francisco Examiner furnishes high
ly important information touching the
contest for United States senator in
California. AS might be expected, Mr.
Cleveland is also deeply interested in
this struggle, being anxious, no doubt,
to secure the election OF a gentleman
who has "clear ideas concerning the i'm
portant questions which confront our
party" in order, no doubt, that he him.
self may find out from him what they
are. Mr.. Cleveland has not yet issued
an ukase regarding the California SEN
atorship, but is likely to do so at any
moment if things do not slip along on
the slope to please him.
The gentleman who is making the
most active campaign for the California
senatorship is w. w. Foote, and therein
lies Mr.. Cleveland's interest. Mr.. Foote
happens to be a nephew Of f. G. Bene-
dict, the gallant yachtsman who carried
Mr.. Cleveland and family hither ard
yon through the blue waters OF Buzz
Yards bay last summer. Naturally Mr..
Cleveland is much interested in Mr..
Foote'S candidacy on account of his
uncle The delicate duty seems to have
been intrusted to the correspondent OF
the Examiner Of imparting to the peo-
pie on the slope the highly important
information that Mr.. Cleveland looks
upon the candidacy of Mr.. Foote with
extreme favor in order that this fact
might weigh in the candidates favor.
To do this it was necessary that the
warm friendship existing between Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Foote'S uncle, Mr..
Benedict, the rich yachtsman, should be
duly set forth. This the correspondent
accomplished very neatly, as follows:
f. C. Benedict is known to all the east and
part ct least OF the west a. Grover Cevelands
chum. He calls the president elect admiral"
and Mrs. Cleveland Frances Cleveland
calls Mr.. Benedict Commodore" and Baby
Ruth eau be found on the rug in Mr.. Benedicts
drawing room almost as often as she can in
her own quarters. The Clevelsnds and the
Benedicts live next door to each other at Nos
10 and u West Fifty first street Benedict runs
both the houses, and Cleveland rented No, y
from him because he likes to be near the COM
modore They call Cleveland "Admiral" be-
cause he assumes command when he is on
board Mr.. Benedicts yacht, and that is when
ever he has any spare time during the summer.
When the admiral and the commodore fancy
game of erbbage, or when Mrs. Cleveland and
the baby drop in to see the Benedict girls, they
90 not have to run the isk of catching cold,
