may be permitted to say word on one feature OF
it, towit, their religious future.
Experience teaches that European Jews ccm-
ing this country have after less resistance
gives up the observance Of shabbos, and that with
such abandonment the idea Of the real, elevating,
thoughtful and reverential rest, the oneg shabbos
has been greatly impaired
ITO one acquainted with the conditions, there is
reasonable hope that the Russian Jews will escape
the same influences and their consequences.
The greatest problem presented to Judaism in
modern times confronts the Russian Jews and their
religious guides.
IF they initiate the policy of their Sephardic and
German predecessors, shut their eyes to the danger
and declare that nothing be done, it is safe to
predict that within generation their people will
have reached the state in which American Jews now
are, namely they will be making aimess and hating
efforts to recover some kind of shabbos
on the other hand they rise to the height of the
situation they will at proceed to consider what
had best be done.
u would not pretend to put forward a plan
which has assured prospect of success, but do
not hesitate to make suggestion which may lead
to Others and after mature consideration definite
action
Might not Sunday be adopted as shabbos
sheni with all the incidents of the original shabbos?
THE difficulties in the way of any plan like this
perfectly obvious. But if the existence of difficult
ties would condemn project no action would ever
be taken in anything
This suggestion is thrown out for the serious
consideration of the pious followers of the ancestral
ways.
" A religion which abolished the whole national
service in high places and ubsttuted the
pie service which substituted synagogue for temple,
which converted it's oral law into written code,
which elevated the scribe into the seat of priest and
noble, has endured because there giants in
those days
Some of their progency must be living in
time and that among our Russian Jews"
clergyman whose piety has not essened his sense
of humor says that he one day called down into

CAPT. | D. OLIVER.


A VALUABLE MAN TO THE B. AND o.
Among the best known railroad and
excursion agents is Capt. |. D. Oliver
of the Baltimore and Ohio r. R. Co.
He is known by everybody who has
any railroad business or excursions to
give OH railroads. He is known in this
city as well as he is known in his ma
tive state. An excursion that Captain
Oliver can not secure for his road no
one else can. He is liked by every
body and when anything is to be given
out of town he is always asked to
make rates with his road. The B.
and o. has an invaluable man, who is
entitled to every consideration that
can be given.
The Afro American League of which
he is prominent member will always
stand by this excursion magnate
The BEE congratulates him on his last
years success, and it is hoped that the
incoming administration will increase
his work as well as his exchequer.
