Exciting Scene at the Howard
Street Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
DECLINED TO BE QUESTIONED
Hebrews Who Objected to Religious
Criticism From One of Their
Own Blood.

An exciting scene took place last even
ing in the Howard-street Methodist Epis-
copal Church when Herman Warszawiak,
Superintendent of the New York Ameri-
can Mission to the Jews, had finished his
first address to the people OF California on
the subject of evangeliZing the Jews.
a large number OF Hebrews were in the
audience that filled every available seat in
the assem- bly-room, and, though they
listened in silence until the address was
over, they could contain themselves no
longer when the last words had been said
andithe audience began to disperse.
Then they crowded about the evangelist
and demanded to know his authority for
some OF the statements he had made.
He refused TO answer them, saying that
the place was not proper one for such
discussions, but that he would be glad to
meet his questioners later and give them
any information in his power.
This so incensed some OF the Hebrews
that they scoffed openly at the speaker,
and one man told him that he was rene
gade and should stop trying to Christian
ize Jews unless he was prepared to back
up his arguments with facts.
Mr.. Warszawiak finally beat hasty re-
treat and the DIRECTORS adjourned to the
sidewalk, where they held an animated
debate IN which some very uncompli-
mentary expressions were applied to the
evangelist.
Mr.. Warszawiak is strongly Hepraic in
cast Of countenance and accent and is an
earnest and telling speaker when warmed
up to his subject, 1.-THE Salvation of
Israel"
He dwelt particularly on the statement
OF Christ that the Hebrews were his chosen
people, and said that the Christians OF the
world should bear this fact strongly in
mind and make every effort by prayer and
example TO bring the Jews into the inheri-
lance that belongs 10 them, inasmuch as
1t was through the Hebrews that the Chris
tians of to-day became possessed OF the
blessings of Christianity.
There are Il, 900 600 of the chosen peo-
pie living in darkness in the United States
to-day" said he, land l cannot conceive
how Christian who believes in and fol-
lows the teachings of the Scriptures can
think on this vast army OF human beings,
bereft OF the blessings of Christianity,
without reaching out a helping hand to
save them.
Gas punishment for their sins God has
scattered them, but he has said that he
will gather them again, and 1 believe he
will.
They must be prepared for the gather
ing, however, and the Christian owes it to
God TO aid him in gaining for them the mer-
cy that IS gwen the gentle through his be-
lief in Jesus. l have come 5000 miles TO
beg of you, plead with you, implore you
to carry the truth to the Jews, and con-
vince them that salvation can only come
through Jesus.
Pray for them and plead with them,
and you will do noble work"
The speaker closed with a strong tribute
TO the Jew, as an upright man and good
citizen.

MAYORS COMMUNICATION.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen:
Gentlemen: In arranging your list
of officers and employees for the coming
year 1 would suggest the adjustment
of the following Offices: license in
spector. This is merely a special police
officer whose sole duty it is to arrest
parties doing business without license
contrary to law The regular policemen
are required to prevent violations of
law, and the commission can and will
join the board in enforcing the license
law by requiring that policemen see to
it that every business man or firm in
the respective beats is licensed.
Market Clerk, whose duty seems to be
to collect market rents, to open and close
the market, to enforce order in the mar
ket. The duty of collecting market rents
should be injoined upon the city treas
urer. The regular policemen on this
beat should be required to take his post
at the market house during market hours
and preserve order A regular janitor
should be appointed to open and close the
market and to keep it cleanly.
| would respectfully recommend that
the matter of sanitation and removal of
garbage from the city be taken under
close consideration, and that you do not
now elect an inspector, or fix the salary
for such an officer. l have serious
doubts as to the wisdom of removing
garbage by contract with the lowest bid
der. The intense competition for the
work is too apt to force bids to figure
which makes impossible full and eff
cient service, too few men and too few
wagons. rss
Upon investigation and consideration
you may deem it wise and economical
for the city to take the matter of gar
bage removal directly in hand, purchase
teams and wagons and place a compe-
tent man in charge as sanitary officer
and superintendent. 1t is plainly the
duty Of every policeman on the regular
force to make diligent inquiry into the
sanitary condition of the city and to
arrest for all violations of your sanitary
laws. ..t.l-.
These suggestions are submitted for
your consideration.
Respectfully,
f. V. EVANS,
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-12-05
