REV. DIR. isaac MAYER WISE.

IbIsN v. IN bHN1 ""
Or. Wise enjoyed the very best OF
health. and indications were that he
would live for many years to come.
This illustrious man was born at
Steingrub, Bohemia, April 3, 1919. He
received his early religious instruction
from his father, who was a religious
teacher: his grandfather was a physi-
clan who had graduated from the UNI
versity of Padua. Early in life he
evinced a great desire to attain knowl-
edge, and As soon as he was able he
attended the University OF Prague, OF
which he was the Oldest living gradu-
ate. When he left the university ne
settled In Radnttz, Bohemia, where he
became a rabbi. Here he was united In
marriage to Miss Theresa Bloch. The
young rabbi was a contemporary or the
great European Jewish reformers, but
as Europe was then in a state of revo-
luton. there was little opportunity for
progressive ideas to spread, so DIR.
Wise immigrated to America with his
family, arriving in New York July 20.
1916. When he arrived here Judaism
was also In a chaotic state. There were
many congregations throughout the
land which were of an ultra orthodox
nature, but there were also a few that
were reformed. Before leaving Europe
DR.. Wise had furnished a plan for re-
forming Judaism. This young enthusi-
asst was warmly welcomed by DIR. LII
lienthaI, DIR. Lesser and other eminent
rabbis. His first ~rabbinnical call was
10 Albany, where he remained until
1854, when he was called to Plum
Street Temple In Cincinnati, where he
remained until the time OF his death.
The most important work of DR..
Wise was his efforts in the reform OF
Judaism In America. In addition to
being editor, rabbi and teacher, he
wrote many books, one OF the most
important being the first English
translation of a Hebrew prayer book.
Probably the most important result
of his life work Is the attitude which
the Judaism OF today occupies towards
Christianity. BY Of numerous
books and lectures all over the country
be gave the Jews the tolerant view OF
Christ which they now hold. He pic
tured Christ as a great Jewish reform
err. who fell a victim to the Roman
empires fear that the mission OF Jesus
was political instead Of spiritual. II
can be safely said that DR.. Wise die
more than any other man Of his time
to bring Jew and Christian into har
> mony, and to make the lame Of Chris
honored among the Jews.
The funeral Of DR.. Wise took place

in which he had officiated since 1854
and was marked by the utmost sim

arrest for fighting in the saloon. II is
stated by those who know something

A Dcformcd Boys Sacrifice.

He lived in a little village in Italy,
at the foot of the Alps. His mother
was a widow, and he, her only child.
was a poor little cripple. When he
thought of his sad cOndition-that he
could not play like the other boys, AMI
that II he grew mp he would not he
able to work like men-he felt very
unhappy.
One day he was going through the
village and stood to rest under the
open window Of a In which some
children were playing. One OF them
CHANGED to break a plaything. when
another took hold OF 1t. and throwing
II out OF the window. said: I'll throw
II away; it's no more use than Hans,
the cripple" Oh. how sad the words
made poor Hans feel! He crept back
home and told his mother. while the
hot tears ran down his pinched little
face very hard, indeed. His mother
took him upon her knee and sang a
little song to him that she had often
sung before. II ended with iris little
chorus: God has His plan for every
man"
And, although Hans felt very happy
while listening to the sweet tune and
voice, yet he could not believe that
God had any plan for him. But he was
mistaken. Just at this time the Aus
TRANS were at war with the Italians,
and trying to take their country. In
order that the Italians might know
when the Austrian soldiers were com
ing. they had built large piles OF dry
wood on the tops OF the hills, and put
men to watch them night and day
When any OF these men saw the Aus
trians coming, 1t was his duty to sci
fire to the pile. Then the man upon
the next hilltop would see 1t and SCI
fire to his, and so on, until all the val
leys were made aware that the enemy
was approaching and the Italians were
reused to meet him. The piles were
called beacons, and the men tina
watched, the sentinels.
Now, one night a festival had beer
kept up In Hans village. All the vii
layers except Hans and his mothe
were there; and, although Hans ha'
gone TO Ded, he could not sleep. Sc
after a while he arose up silently an
crept up the hill to stay awhile wit
