Interesting Address by a

One of the most interesting features

began with an enjoyable program at
ithe synagogue at Sixth and French
streets on Sunday. was the mastery
address made by Isaac Wetstein, a a.
year-old boy. a student of the Phila-
delphia High School. who astonished
the aud ence by his eloquence and de-
livery. His address was as follows.
1T Is with both pleasure and regret

that I have not had more time, in

through the same cause as many are

pared with yc Oiden days. Therefore.
We must come to the conclusion OF the
necessity OF the maintenance of a
Sunday school And, my friends, we
must also come to the conclusion that
the Sunday schools must now take the
place Of the synagOgues In many re-
spects; for, tnen. the children can
learn their religion in their native
tongue. as the children Of the oiden
days did, and get a more thorough un-
derstanding OF the same. IL is also a
benefit 10 those children who attend
the Sunday schCcl, for when they go
to the synagogue and sing those beauti-
full and holy hymns as"zimlock," AN
kel-ohanOO' and "Adon-o,om," they
will have a better understanding Of the
origin CT these songs, and what they
mean. My friends. then. if you have

BOSTON. Feb. 27.-Speaking of Cap
tain Concas' statement that the loOr
which the Brooklyn made saved her
from being rammed by the Maria Te-
resa, Admiral Sampson said:
The statement is incorrect. The
Maria Teresa was thousands OF yards
distant at the time-so far away that
the Brooklyn was in no danger of be-
ing rammed. The Intervention of the
Iowa and the Texas precluded, of
course. any possibility of collision with
the Brooklyn.
But the Brooklyn was not required
to make the loop in order to save her
self. That is all care TO say in the
matter"
