said:

learning, and he exerted an influence
that was felt in every Jewish communl-
ty. He was the father and founder of
the Hebrew Union College, at Cincinnati,
from which some of our good and learn
ed rabbis have graduated. He was a
rabbi in all that it implies, a teacher.
and he was consulted upon nearly all
momentous questions. particularly where
any doubt existed and almost invaria-

such trials. land by all Jews, who loved

of promoting the prosperity Of the motor

months ago the motor car as applied for
business purposes was not being very
generally adopted. but since the outbreak
of host:lities in South Africa the streets
have become comparatively uhronged with

nendous demand for horses for the troops
