NE MORTAL TO HAY
AMERICAN JEWS ADDRESS MRS.
HAY-HER REPLY.

The memorial address presented by 1858
Jews In America and Great Britain to Mrs
Clara Hay In memory Of her husband, the
late John Hay. sets forth Mr.. Hays serv-
Ices to the Jewish people, including the
note sent in September, 1902 to the powers
slgnatory to the Berlin treaty of 1878, ap-
pealing to them to compel Roumania to OBJ
serve article A Of the treaty which pro-
vided for liberty of conscience. also the
forwarding of the Kishinefr petition. The
memoralists say:
In the pressure and the stress of this
busy age, even the greatest benefactors of
mankind are soon forgotten, but Israel,
who has suffered through the long centuries
never fails to remember deeds of kindness
and righteousness wrought in her behalf.
Therefore the kaddsh prayer, which sixty
rabbis recited in Cleveland in honor of the
memory of John Hay on July 3, 1905, while
his mortal remains were being borne to
their last resting place. will be permanently
adopted by the synagogue, both in this
country and beyond the seas, as a part of
the divine service on our days Of Judgment
teachings Of our faith. the books OF account
are opened before the Lord"
Mrs Hay has replied to the memorial
with letter Of recent date, addressed to
simon Wolf OF this city, which reads as
follows:
Il have recently returned to Washington
and seen for myself the wonderful memo
rial which your coreigionists OF America
and Great Britain have addressed to me in
honor of my husband. John Hay, the late
Secretary Of State AS there is no special
person named as chairman or secretary l
did not know to whom to acknowledge my
thanks, so come to you and ask you IL
YOU will kindly convey to your people in
such way as to let 1t be known to all
those who have signed this memorial how
greatly l appreciate 1t and how touched I
have been by tho rka hla fnplipU a
miratton and respect shown by the Jews the
world over for my dear husband.
I only wish that this influence could have
been far-reaching enough to have prevented
the recent horrors which those poor people
have suffered, but the alkwise Father of
us all has thought 1t best for them to suffer,
and though we do not know the meaning
OF 1t all now some day 1t will be revealed
to u.s."

0RMAL DEDICATION TOMORROW

When Gen. John W. Foster, ex-Secretary
of State, opened the proceedings at the new
lexington Presbyterian Church last even
ing he faced a crowded auditorium. He
congratulated the pastor and the members
of the church upon the completion of their
commodious and beautiful edifice, adding,
You have an important work to do in this
city and 1 am sure you will do it faithfully
and we'll"
In introducing the first speaker of the
evening, Rev. A. w. Pitzer, D. D., who
brought the greetings of the Southern Pres
byterian Church, Gen. Foster said: Il do
not like the name of southern added to the
Presbyterian: neither do 1 like the word
northern used in the same connection. 1t
is time that such an appellaton is dis
carded, and trust the time will soon come
when there will be no Southern Presbyte
rian Church"
DIR. Pitzer prefaced his remarks by say
ing: 1.-THE church is not created by man,
but by the spirit of the living God. I be-
ieve in recognizing the ministry and the
certificate of every evangelical church. We
are coming to that point, and it will soon
be consumma ted.
He spoke of his early religious training,
saying that 1t was different now from what
it was in his boyhood. At that period of
his career he remembered his mother taxi
ing him by the hand and saying: Come,
son, let us go home. This is no place for
u.s." His illustration referred to some re-
ligious meeting his mother had taken him
to that did not accord with her creed. He
congratulated Gen. Foster on being a Pres
byterian, as he himself sincerely believed
in It's creed He closed his remarks by ex-
claiming: God hasten the day when there
shall be no church of the SOUTH the north,
the east or the west
Rev. DIR. John G. Butler of the Lutheran
Place Memorial Church was next intro
duced by Gen. Foster, who said in his in
troductory remarks that the Lutheran
Church stood for more than denomination,
for 1t stood for a state, and added: when
ever 1 see the statue of Martin Luther at
Thomas Circle l think of how much more
Importance it is than any other Of the

been for Martin Luther there would be no

presbyterian general assembly had con-

REPLIES TO LORD ROTHSCHILD
CONCERNING ZIoNISM.

NEW YORK. January Cdr. Max Nor

which has just reached here, is as follows:
1.-THE Zionists have never forgotten that
Palestine proper-viz, the country west or
the Jordan-is not large enough, whether
vacant or not, to contain all the Jews de-
sirous to return to the land of their fore
fathers. We always contemplated to draw
into our colonizing scheme the Sinai PEN
insula with the plain of Penlusium, the
Hauran and the valley Of the Euphrates,
which are now practically empty, and
would If properly irrigated and provided
with means Of communication. even with
present methods Of culture, offer some 200
millions of settlers sufficient room for work
ing and thriving. There are now some
We do not expect that our number Will
augment to the amount of 200 millions with
in measurable time.
'.Zionism Is not meant for prosecuted
Jews only, unless one would consider the
adjective as mere tautology. 1t is for
those millions Of Jews who wish to continue
the historical life Of their nation in the
country hallowed by the memories of the
ancestors.
1--WE do not intend to pay a ransom for
land held by legitimate owners. We VIII
buy at current prices whatever land we
might need in Palestine proper, but pr1n-
cipally occupy the wastes, the nominal pro-
prietor of which is now the sultan. All
that is needed is the sultan's consent which
will have to be obtained by reasonable sac
riflces.
1--WE protest strongly against the insinua-
ton that we have any-avowed or conceal
ed-intention to found in Palestine Jew

the sultan He knows that we never
thought OF infringing on his sovereign
rights All we ever wanted was-and is
local autonomy permitting the unfettered
display of all our economical and moral ca
pacities.
who have been and are adverse to any large
immigration Of Jews In Palestine without
the previous consent of the sultan and
without his granting first the rights indis-
pensable for our prosperity.
Nothing we have said or done Justlnes
the allegation that our hope OF obtaining
Palestine and the neighboring countries as
legally secured homo has faded into
vision of more-distant hope than 1t was
ever considered to be at the outset of our
movement by all the serious and responsible
persons within 1t.
.The signatories Of the letter in your
columns put their only hope in charity.
We need not point out once more, after so
many times, that mere eleemoSynary action
Is utterly inadequate to meet the wants OF
the situation. OF course It is necessary to
assuage the actual sufferings. But when
this Is done-more or less scantily-things

contrary, strives at solving radically the
Jewish question and redeeming civilization

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW.

Word reached Washington during the
past week that the Canadian brotherhood
has agreed to join with the brotherhood
chapters in the United States in making
the convention Of 1897 which is to be held
in this city, international in character. In
vitations have recently been issued to the
national organization of the brotherhood
of St Andrew In all the foreign countries
to Join in this movement, which, II &C
cepted. will make the 1907 convention the
largest gathering of laymen of the An
glican communion ever held in any coun-
try.
J. Lewis Gibbs, president of the Wash
ington junior assembly of the brotherhood
OF st. Andrew, is making visitation 10
all the junior chapters in this diocese.

ing year: Bert r. Amos. director; David
b. Perry vice director: George 5. Whit

sistless current Mr.. Garrison and his little
company were following 1t on the bank
and crying aloud: "A covenant with death
and an agreement with hell" IL the Con-
stitution was a covenant with death, it
was only those who stayed with 1t that
were able to amend 1t.
Others Preceded Him.
1t has been the burden Of the addresses,
especially those by negroes IN their cen
tennial speeches, that there was no one
else to speak for the slave when Garrison
began his campaign In 1927. This they
gather from his ba sraphy. He says:
There was scarcely man in all the
land who dared to peep or mutter on the
subject of slavery; the pulpit and the press
were dumb; no anti-slavery organizations
were made: no public addresses were deliv-
cred: no entreaties were uttered in the ears
Of the people: silence. almost unbroken ST.
lence, prevailed universally"
This statement Is not true. There had
societies. even If Mr.. Garrison had not
been interested In theme He says:
In 1927 l went to Boston and edited a
paper called the National Philanthropist 1t
was devoted to the cause of temperance. Up
to that hour I had known little or nothing
of slavery. . . / was almost wholly
ignorant in respect to It,"
And yet while he had previously been
editing a paper in Newburyport there were
public anti-slavery meetings in that town.
Be 1t remembered that the Missouri COM
promise, with the ADMISSION OF MISSOURI as
a slave state, was in 1920, and the country
was hot on the subject. There were meet
ings everywhere in the north. To show this
it is enough to read Henry Wilson's Rise
and Fall of the Slave Power" Six state
legislatures outside New England passed
resolutions asking congress to forbid the
extension of slavery. In the the Pennsyi-
vania legislature there was not a dissenting
vote to the resolutions which denounced the
attempt ito spread the crimes and cruelties
of slavery" Henry Wilson says
.Never before had the anti-slavery SEN
timent of the north been so quickened and
aroused Popular meetings were holden In
which federalists and democrats enthusiast
tically and cordially united. Public adj
dresses were made and petitions and memo
rails were sent to Congress-.
Early Abolition Societies.
1t was in this period in 1924 that the at
tempt was made to introduce slavery into
Illinois, and very hot was the discussion
which ended in making 1t free state. At
this time there were more than a hundred
abolition societies In Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky ana

SERVICE FOR MEN
TO BE HELD AT CHURCH OF THE
EPIPHANY.

Arrangements have been made for a
unique service for men only at the Protest
ant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany,
January 81, at 8 pm. to consider the
movement for church extension in the twen-
tieth century and plans for raising thank
offering "for 800 years OF English Christian
ity" in this country. The offering will be
presented at the general convention in
Richmond, Va, in 1907.
Bishop Satterlee will preside at the meet
ing, and among the speakers will be Bishop
Mackay-Smith of Pennsylvania, George
Wharton Pepper Of Philadelphia, and j.
Writ Randall Of Annapolis, Md. Ladies
will be admitted to the spacious galleries
Of the church.
When the general convention OF the Prot
estant Episcopal Church Of this country
meets in Richmond. Va, in 1907, three GEN.
turtles will have elapsed since the first cele-
bration of the holy communion in an Eng
lish colony in North America. Formal no.
tice of this tri-centennial will be taken by
the church. and 1t is anticipated that the
celebration will be one OF the most impress
i've ever held by a church body in this
country.
1t was proposed at the last general con-
vention that the men of the denomination
throughout the land, either communicates
or occasional worshipers. unite In making
a great missionary thank offering 'in graf
Christianity" This Is to be presented at
the Richmond assembly. The fund will be
used for the missionary work Of the church
at home and abroad.
Careful plans have been laid for bringing
the proposition to the attention of every
male member of the church in the United
States. Committees are being appointed
in every diocese to raise the fund by per-
sonal solicitation
The Committee.
In the diocese of Washington the follow
ing churchmen have been appointed to serve
on the committee: Rev. DR.. Alfred Hard

and Mr.. Warner as secretary Of the COM
mfttee.
Placards have been prepared for posting
in the various parishes of the city. These
read. In part, as follows:
'The primary object OF this movement is
to quicken among men a sense of the Inn
portance of the church as q factor In ma
tional, social and domestic life and to awak-
en- or to stimulate In them a feeling of graft

tie future.
The secondary object of the movement
is to give to each man an opportunity to
express his gratitude and in some measure
to discharge his responsibility by uniting
