NNAb AAN'SAASNt etAA CS tS Ntlt iAltb " lNil one glory of the dawn, and all hearts were humbled and exalted in one Wor- ship. When at last Gods holy morning shall dawn, and we shall see Him as He is, all true hearts shall know the same worshipful joy and understand the one language of love and adoration,
 Rev. w. F, Dickerman of the UniVer- salist church spoke in glowing words of the Universal Brotherhood of Man." saying in part:
 An ancient Jewish prophet said in the distant ages of the past, A Gentle shall come to glory in Thy using For the first time in this city this pro- phecy has come to be true and we come here tonight to glory with you.
 Tt was a beautiful thought that in ancient times So!omon's temple should be built upon field hallowed by broth erly love and reconciliation. and to-day it is fit and appropriate that this tenn pie can be so dedicated. I would that all temples might be thus dedicated in brotherly love. rather than in differ ences of opinion and dogma as they have been done but too often in the past.
 Here we are come together repre- senting all shades of belief. I envy you people of the Jewish race because you have been the bearers of the precious jewel to Christianity.
 "The heart is a much better basis to come together on than on creeds and metaphysical discussions.
 ''We cannot come together on a basis of metaphysics, but we must come to- gether on a common love of humanity.
 '''Fhe Hebrew idea of God rises like a ! mighty peak far above the conceptions of God held by all other people, and I envy you for bearing the knowledge of the eternal God to the rest of humani- ty
 You as race have been true to your idea of God and have not divided him into many gods. trust that this meet ing may cultivate the brotherhood of man, a brotherhood which has been exemplified by Judaism SO well. Tonight we are exemplifying what we believe to be true. We are glad to be here. Do you realize, friends, that | the better feelings, the better emotions | are happily triumphant here tonight? I hope, with our mutual ideas of right | eousness, we shall be able to bring to pass that righteousness that makes for peace and love with all men" The audience joined heartily in sing i ing:
 | Now is the time approaching, 1 By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together One shepherd and one fold. Now Jew and Gentle, meeting
 From many different shore, i Around one altar lneeling, l One common Lord adore.
 Rev. F. A. M. Browne of the Presby- terian church spoke with much warmth and fervor. He said:
 q had never until the dedication on | Friday been inside a Jewish temple. | As I have looked around this temple I | have thought that there was but little difference between this church and my l own Presbyterian church. The archi- 1 lecture is much like that in my own church, likewise the pulpit, I place my | hand upon this book of Scripture and 1 feel the same pulsating thrill that feel from my own Bible l hear the psalms read here and feel the same in- l spiration as in my own church. q wish to tell you right here how much indebted we are to your people 1 for all that they have done for the world. I never felt this indebtedness more than I do on the present occa- sion.
 q have heard it stated that science deer not go with the Bible. l suppose you know that in Central Africa they have no Bible, but they have no sci ence either. In China they do not have science, but they do not have the Bible either. The Bible and science are not 1 opposed to each other.
 q do not know much about the be- lief of this Congregation Mishkan Is rael I understand that you are re- formed Jews, but l hope that you are not so reformed that you have lost your hold on the old Hebrew Bible, the words uttered on Sinai. May God shower His blessings upon this congre- gation. and prosper it's work in this temple"
 Rabbi Levy introduced Rev. Dr. c. P Masden of the First Methodist church by relating the interesting fact that while a student in Philadelphia he had often attended Dr. Masdens churcf there to get inspiration, and he attrib' uted the fact of his becoming a rabb among his people to pr. Masden's in. spirations.
 Rev. Dr. Masden said: This is ont of the returns of a minister's life. Lit tie did I know that this young mar came to hear me preach in the City O Brotherly Love. He shall not outdo me in heartiness on this occasion.
 q came here gladly tonight to beal my congratulations for your new tenn ple It is said there is hospitality ii nature and there is also hospitality il architecture. I congratulate you upor the hospitality of this temple. When came into it I found myself worship ing as heartily as I do in my owr church.
 "This is an age in which we magnify the things about which we agree. N man can preach long against the creed of others and retain the respect of tht community.
 "We are nearer one in our belief than we imagine, but we do not know each other well enough. We are ikt long lost brothers who have met fol the first time after long separation. w
