cation for thirty-four years, DR.. Stern,
interested the large audience greatly. He
said in part:
This Is our jubilee, the semi-centennial
anniversary of our congregation. 1t is pc
culiarly our Congregations day. Let us
with true and becoming humility again
pray with the psalmist: Not unto us, q
Lord, not unto u.s. but unto Thy name be
the glory for Thy kindness and for Thy
truth Anniversary celebrations like the
present are important milestones In our
career as religious community. directing
our gaze both forward and backward in
earnest, thoughtful reflection. When Israel
still lived in Its own land as a nation, every
fitch year was celebrated as a jubilee
year, when liberty was proclaimed through
out the land, when all lands that had been
sold were returned to their original owners
or to their descendants and the Hebrew
bondsmen We're set free. The jubilee was
ushered in with the solemn, joyous blast
of trumpets. Also, our jubilee sounds
trumpet call. as it were, a call loud and
earnest, that should find a responsive echo
in every heart.
And let every man return to his fam
fly was the command of the Jewish law
for the jubilee. Never before in our his
tory came these words to US with deeper
meaning and greater force? Never before
have we been brought to a clearer realiZa-
ton of the solemn duty of reciprocity, Of
mutual responsibility between the scattered
members of our faith. The awful caami-
ties visited upon our unfortunate brethren
in Russia lose part of their horror in the
happy contemplation of a resulting closer
Jewish brotherhood, In the growing COnvic-
ton that Jewish hands, Jewish minds and
hearts must solve the Jewish problem. This
is the clarion call to duty that comes to US
In no uncertain tones" And he continued
by pointing out the necessity of making
the future brighter in accomplishments
than the past.
Other Addresses.
Mr.. Simon Wolf was the next speaker,
and he touched upon the future. He want
ed the descendants of the present genera
ton to be able to look back with pride on
the accomplishments which their ancestors
did, just as last night, they were looking
back on the work of their ancestors Rabbi
Simon, in a fine discourse, compared Israel
to the little cruise of oil which it. was
thought could last but day, but which
lasted eight days. Nations had thought
that the Jews could last but short time,
yet they are still prominent in the walks of
life.
One of the features of the celebration was
the singing of the jubilee hymn which was
composed by Rabbi Louis Stern The
music of the service was especially attrac-
tive.
The celebration will end with ball and
supper to be given at Rauscher's, on Con-
necticut avenue. the evening OF January 4.

Statment of a Bishop.

This candid commentary upon work in
Japan should set the missionary boards to
thinking 1t is a question in the minds OF
many Catholics and Protestants whether
they are making such progress as should
be expected from the number Of laborers
and the size of the vineyard. A bishop
told me not long ago that the growth OF
Christianity generally during the last ten
years had not been SO rapid as formerly;
that the number of converts was smaller
than for the ten years previous. although
the educational institutions under the care
of the Protestants were more largely at
tended and had greater influence than
ever before. He attributed this not to any
lack of zeal on the part of the missionaries
or respect for Professionalism on the part or
the people, but to the revival of patriotism
and to the anti-foreign wave that swept
over the empire in 1885 and 1896, when
Russia France and Germany interviewed to
prevent Japan from enjoying the fruits or
her victory over China. He did not Sug-
gest any such reason as Is given by the
editor of Nippon, although the japanese
point of view is worth considering, and 1t
is true, as he states, that there is no great
Christian teacher in Japan today; none
that will compare. for instance. with DR..
Hepburn. one of the pioneers in mission

soon after his restoration to power. He
went again before bestowing the gift of
constitutional government upon HE sub
jects, and for the third time to offer thanks
at the close Of the war between China and
Japan ten years ago. It Is the revival Of
very ancient ceremonial which remained
obsolete for centuries while the mikado
was a prisoner of the Shotgun and was not
permitted to take even that part in public
affairs. None but favorable comments have
appeared in any of the newspapers OF Japan,
either those published In the native or In
foreign languages They all appear to re-
patriotism and they respect the modest dig
nifty of the emperor In attributing the VIC
tories of his armies to the influence of the
spirit of his ancestors. although that theory

Roman Catholics in Japan.
Speaking OF missionaries, the Nippon,
one of the most influential papers in Japan,
has an article concerning the mission of
Archbishop O'Connell of Portland, Maine,
who was sent to Japan by the pope to
strengthen the relations between that gov
eminent and the holy see and to express
to the mkado his appreciation of the lib
eral manner In which the Catholic mis-
sionaries and converts have been treated.
The Nippon says that the Roman Catho-
lies have 6O,000 converts in Japan, the
largest number of any foreign faith, but
1t does not anticipate any great growth in
the future because the missionaries are not

preachers of the European creeds ana de-
cline to be convinced. The Nippon says
that the Protestant propogandists also
leave much to be desired in respect of abil-
ity and learning among their missionaries.
There is in fact no great teacher
of a foreign religious faith now in Japan"
the editor says. THE Greek church made
some semblance of success at one time, but
1t has now come to be associated with
policy of aggression and until Russia
purges herself completely of her evil repu-
tation the church she obeys will remain
discredIted."

Decision Affirmed,

~ Washington.-In. an opinion by Jus.
tice HOLMES, the supreme court of the
United States upheld the validity Of
the Minnesota state law holding rail-
road companies responsible for injur-
les done to employees through the
carelessness of other employees
The case was that of the Minnesota
Iron company VS.. Mark NJ. Kline.
Kline was the engineer of train on a
road in st. Louis county, owned by
the iron company and was injured
through the failure of brakeman
to set switch. The jury in the trial
court brought in a verdict for $4,000.
The court, however, took the case
into its own hands, and ordered that
the state law awarding damages to the
servants of corporations because of
carelessness on the part of their fell
low-servants was unconstitutional.
The state supreme court reverses this
finding and ordered that the verdict of
the jury be carried into effect. That
decision was affirmed.
