A VACANT PULPIT.

The report published few days ago that the
trustees of the Temple Emanuel had decided
TO fill the place which has been vacant since
the Rev. DIR. Gottheil became rabbi emeritus
by the appointment of DIR. Leonard Levy calls
attention to the fact that the position has
gone begging for years. The report that DIR.
Levy had been called was unfounded as stated
in The Tribune at the time. but there can be
no doubt TO the anxiety of the members Of
the congregation to have the place filed. and
they are leaving nothing undone toward accom-
piishing that end. The name of every available
man in the country is under consideration, and
while many of the candidates. men of merit
and worth, have devoted champions among the
officers of the congregation. no one has yet been
decided upon as a successor to the venera BILE
man whose days of usefulness are unfortunate
ly at an end. The Emanu-E Ell Is tile most i'm
portant Jewish congregation in the country 1t
is rich and influential; its members are liberal,
and the matter of compensation for the right
man could he quickly adjusted; in fact. the sue
cessful aspirant for the place could name his
own price
When DIR. Adler, and after him Dr. Gottheil,
assumed the duties of pastor of the temple the
majority of the congregation was of foreign

birth. and sermons in German were more ac-
ceptable than English discourses. In those
days when pulpit in Jewish congregation
became vacant the theological institutes OF Eu-
rope were drawn upon, and the young men
who came from Berlin Vienna, Prague anu
other centres of Jewish theological learning
were uniformly successful in their work
But times have changed. The present con-
gregation of the reformed type Is American
and its members want as leaders men VINO are
Americans OF these there are so few that
they are eagerly sought, and many are engaged
before they are graduated. That the supply is
not in keeping with the demand is demon
strated by the vacant pulpit in the Temple
Emanuel The condition is a strong argu-
ment In favor Of the Jewish Theological Semi
nary, and an assurance to the men who are
giving it financial aid that they are helping
good cause.

continued. 1t needs no such eloquent voice as
his to remind us of the all too obvious evils OF
overeducat!on when too much instruction or too
much study is crowded into given space OF
time. The latter evils are as great when they
occur in the university as when they are in the
primary school. md they give grave warning
against carrying too far the attempt to shorten
the time of course while maintaining or actu-
ally increasing the scope of the curriculum We
do Eot mean to say the Harvard three year
course involves such evils. But it may well be
feared that any further shortening would make
perilously toward that disastrous end.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Bribery in elections is ancient if not hon.
orable custom. This is shown in the case of
Shrewsbury, England An extract from Parry s
"Parliaments and Councils of England" of case
OF bribery, with its punishment. in 1571 shows how
long the perncious custom has been in practice:
Thomas Long, d very simple man, and unfit to
serve is questioned how he to be elected.
He confesses that he gave the Mayor Of Westbury
and another "a for his place. They ordered to
repay this sum, and fine of f20 is to be assessed
on the corporation and inhabitants of Westbury for
their scandalous attempt" One imagine the
Indignation of those inhabitants of Shrewsbury who
received bribe having to help pay fine for
those who did.

with it's better sentiment than to be

with it's better sentiment than to be
forced to dwell in the thought that Its
people are living under an administra-
ton hostile to all that to which the
people of this section cling most ten
aciously in defense Of their underly-
ing civilization. It is perhaps, natural
that the president, under all circum-
stances, should not say as much In
giving his views on this subject as has
been said for him by Mr.. Page and Mr..
Edwards and yet the evident display
Of conservatism and friendly feeling In
Mr.. Roosevelt's utterance is 80 marked
as to bespeak at least suspension Of
criticism with the view Of rendering
final judgment upon the subsequent
events of his administration.
There remains two years of his pres
ent term Of office, and unless appear
ances are deceptive, Mr.. Roosevelt will
be nominated by his party as his own
successor. Whether or not he will be
elected is different thing-the Consti-
tuition hopes and believes that he will
be succeeded by Democrat-but
there is abundant time in the closing
years Of the administration for the
president to make good all that has
been said for him as regards his at
titude in the matter Of southern ap-
pointments.
It is a dreadful, uncanny thing for
the south to be made to feel that 1t Is
not "at home In the house Of Its faith
ers." True it Is there and there to
stay, to do it's duty loyalty, how much
better for the people Of this section to
know that they are close to the throb
of the nations heart, with the right
hand of fellowship extended, with their
sympathies respected, and their con-
ditions appreciated, rather than the
association be one Of open indifference
or actual antagonism.
AS for the Negro, he is being treated
more fairly in the south today than in
any other part Of the Union. The best
people Of both races understand each
other. II there is a problem 1t Will
work itself out in Gods own way, and
in His appointed time. The result can
not be forced. To attempt to do this is
to lose all the progress that has been
made. to hinder instead Of to help the
Negro-to make it harder for those in
the south who do understand him and
his conditions to help the race In It's
effort at practical elevation.
This said, therefore, let US give the
president a fair showing, and let US
Judge him by the future. II by his
future course he shows that he under
stands and appreciates conditions as
they exist in the south, he will go out
Of office with the same regard as that
in which his lamented predecessor was
held.

Rules For the Sick Room.

Here are a few rules Of the sick room
that are worth remembering:
Never allow a patient to take the
temperature himself. Many patients
are more knowing than nurses when
there is a question Of temperature.
Never put hot water bottle next to
the skin. It's efficiency and the pa
tents safety are both enhanced by
surrounding the bottle with flannel.
Never allow a patient to be walked
out Of his first sleep; either Intention
ally or accidentally.
Never imagine that a patient who
sleeps during the day will not sleep
during the night. The more he sleeps
the better he will be able to sleep.
Never hurry or hustle.
Never stand and f1dget when sick
person Is talking to you. Sit down.
Never sit where your patient cannot
see you.
Never require a patient to repeat a
message or request. Attend at once.
Never Judge the condition Of your
patient from his appearance during the
conversation. See how he looks an
hour afterward.
Never read a story to children, If you
can tell it.
Never read fast to a sick person.
The way to make story seem snort 1s
to tell 1t slowly.
Never conflne patient 10 one room'
II Won can obtain the use Of two.
Never allow monotony in anything

The Grace of Adherence.

The duty Of abhorring evil is one that
Is general in it's Dature. It admits Of
no exception Of favored vices. We are
very liable to excuse the sins which we
"are inclined to" while roundly con-
demning those we "have no mind to"
It is one of the weaknesses Of poor hu-
man nature that II sin is agreeable
to us we discover or invent excuses for
it. 1t Is not so bad as some other sins;
indeed, In our case, it is not certain
that it Is sin at all. We have a Ger
tain right to do what we would blame
others for doing or we even say to our
selves that it Is merely conventional
wrong, but Is in fact no real wrong.
Whatever Is wrong without exception
in our own favor we ought to cultivate
the grace Of abhorring 1t, for we may
be certain that If we allow ourselves
an easy sentiment Of allowance for
any sin we have taken down the bars
to its commission and one sin being
made easy opens the way to another
and another until the conscience is
scared as with a hot iron.-Pittsburg
