An Interesting Lecture by Rab- bl Konrfeld Svnday
 Night.

Rabbi kornfeld delivered second lecture Sunday night to large audience.
 The subject Of his discourse was Ethics and Religion, aad he handled his theme in a very able, interesting and instructive manner. Rabbi Kornfeld is young man Of high education aud brilliant talents, and he made a very pleas ing impression on all who heard him. He hasia fine flow and al cx- cellent command of language, and his dietion is elegant. In his dis course was displayed the work Of the student, and familiarity with philosophy, the late sciences and the old languages. His lecture also disclosed tue fact that he was very careful student of rhetoric and the art of discourse. His arguments were carefully prepared and arranged
 
 in systematic manner with proper conclusion and climax.
 ~~Altogether young MT, Kornfeld evidenced the fact that he is and has been q very hard student. He is a young man with brilliant promise and wonderful possibilities, and should he continue as begun, will undoubtedly make his mark in the world.
 The services were opeEed by a solo, entitled "The Flower Land, :" rendered by Miss Bessie Altheimer in her clear, sweet voice. and were concluded by solo rendered by Miss Blanche Altheimer in her mezzo soprano voice. Mrs. Maggie Hill presided ct the organ and the music was also most pleasing and enjoyable feature Of the occasion.
