LECTURE ON RUSSIA.
Interesting Address Delivered by Rabbi
Reynolds in Unitarian Church.

Rabbi Reynolds lectured last evening
in the Unitarian church to large
audience on the peculiar polltico'eco-
monte conditions obtaining in Russia
The speaker made point that the real
object of Russia's aggression In east
ern Asia was more territory to be dom
mated over, and the occasion OF the
massacre OF the Jews at kischinef was
TO give Russian populace a chance to
vent their thirst for blood before 1t
should be turned against the local au-
thorltIes, The exciting experiences or
the speaker In smuggling himself over
the Russian frontier to visit his home
and kindred from Switzerland, where
he had been studying, were graphical
