DEDICATION OF A
NEW SEPHER T0RAH
CEREMONIES AT THE NEvAH
ZEDECK SYNAGOGUE.
DR.. Isidor Myers Delivers an Ad-
dress-Congregation Inscribes
the First and Last
Verses.

The dedication Of a new Sepher Torah,
or Book Of the Law, took place yesterday
afternoon at the Congregation Nevah Ze-
deck, on Mission street. The Torah
which IS IN the form of parchment
scroll, was recently written by B. Gold
man, scribe, in Europe, and brought to
this city, where it was raffied and do
mated by the winner to the congregation
The ceremonies of the dedication consist
ed OF an address by DR.. Isfdor Myers of
the Bush-street synagogue and selections
by the Hebrew Orphan Asylum band.
The first and last verses of the sacred
scroll had been left unfinished by the orig
inal scribe, and 1t became the duty of the
members of the congregation to fill in the
required letters of the verses, and this
privilege was acquired yesterday after
noon by purchase. NJ Rapkin acted as
auctioneer, and succeeded in collecting
quite sum, which will go to the benefit
of the verses had been completed the
Torah was deposited in the ark in which
reposes several other sacred scrolls.
In his address DR.. Myers said: TT is
in accordance with an ancient Jewish GUS
tom that we are assembled here to finish
the inscribing of the Torah. The Torah
greater than that of the priesthood or
royalty. Every Israelite can take the
crown Of the Torah and put it on his own
brow 1t is a sacred heritage handed
down from generation to generation. II
is your best friend, and has at all times
been the safeguard of Israel" DR., My
ers referred to the sentence OF Dreyfus,
which he characterized as the greatest
tragedy of the age.
THE fate of one man. he said, de
cides your fate and the fate of every Jew
in the universe. It is the case of an indi-
vidual unjustly condemned through the
hatred of the pagan spirit that is still
rampant in the world. France is not the
only country where bigotry condemns the
unfortunate to suffering. There are other
places equally as intolerant."
DR. Myers concluded by exhorting his
hearers ever to remain steadfast TO their
Torah, which was an antidote for all the
evil passions TO which man is heir.

Unbinding of Lazarus.

Rev. E. Nelander of the First Englisl
Lutheran Church preached to his con
gregation last night on THE Unbindin,
of Lazarus" In part he said:
God never does directly what he can
do through others. He might have
furnished Noah with complete ocean
steamer, but he did not. He let the
patriarch hammer away at the ark
through a century, but he did furnish
him with the length, the breadth and
the height, because there was no skill
in him to discover these.
Roll ye away the stone" said Jesus
to his disciples; not because he could
not himself have done It, but he would
let him 60" he said. He could him
self have unwound the. bandages, but
that is not his way of doing things.
He is saving the world through US.
His word to every one of his follow
ers is: Lend d hand. Loose them
and let them co. The great eman-
cipator speaks. Unbind the cerements!
This is practical "Altruism."

was the Virgin Mary, and his large audi
ence followed every word with attention
In part he said:
All Christians love and honor the
holy name of Mary, because she had
a special share in the work of our re-
demption, and this work was to CO.
operate freely and intelligently in body
and soul; to accept an office of the
highest dignity indeed. but one that
involves great responsibility and sor-
row. This office was greater than any
given to either man or angel.
She was associated in his work She
stopped him at the age of II when he
said he must be about his Fathers
work She caused him to resume it at
the marriage feast in Cana, at Cab
lee, where he worked his first miracle
at her prayer. She was associated in
his passion. Simeon bound son and
mother in common bond of suffering
and she followed him along the dolo-
rous road that led to Calvary, and
stood beneath the cross. Why was
Mary there? What mother ever goes
to the execution of her son? Here
was some design of God, some mystery
of his love to be carried out.
Our Lord had been conceived and
born without detriment to her virgin
ity, without pain or labor. God lays
upon her the full law of maternity,
that ''in labor and sorrow she shall
bring forth children.

CONSUMPTION Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 W. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

Philadelphia, Dec. lit is probable
that legal steps will be taken today
to protect the interests of some of the
customers of the Investors Trust,
concern similar to Miller's Franklin
syndicate, of Brooklyn, which closed
it's doors a few days ago. A number
of investors whose money is tied up
will arrive here today and hold con-
ference, after which the wheels of the
law will probably be started in mo-
ton. That no proceedings have been
instituted against the trust before this
time is due to the fact that nearly all
of its customers live in faraway cities
and states and in foreign countries.
