Ragged and hardened veterans OF last years
camp ign are beginning to drift into the big
headquarters tent, where they are always
warmly welcomed by the proselytes. But Ihe

huge tent as slumberlng volcano which may
at any time awake and overwhelmD them. This
causes considerable disQuieJ. Then, too, the
people do not regard the IudusIrials so
faYOrably as last year.
No Change in the Ritual.

Hebrew congregation on progress" the sup
Elementary address by Rabbi Voorsanger OF
San Francisco. in the course of which he said
that people could pray just as well with barred
heads as with covered heads, and the efforts of
the radicals TO reform the old Jewish ritual,
have raised storm OF opposition In the ranks
Of the Older members OF the congregation, the
conservatives, who, holding that what was
good enough for their forefathers is good
enough for them. vigorously oppose even the
slightest change IN The ritual.
The conservatives complain that several
changes have been made recently In the SER
Vices without the consent OF the congregation.
Then last week resolution was adopted that
no further changes be made without such con-
sent. Immediately afIerward the famous SER
mon on Progress" was delivered.
The elders claim that Rabbi VoOrsanger was
NOT expected TO address them, and some object
to his reference 10 the methods OF worship IN
vogue. II his congregation, they say, will so
far depart from the custom OF their ancestors
of Old TO enter the synagogue with uncovered
heads all well and good but as for them they
Will never consent TO such departure.
