sal belief? Does it prove the unity OF the
race? Have all the scattered tribes retained
the tradition that belonged to original man?
Or has the Infinite Father spoken to The
inner consciousness? We may never be
able to answer these questions which en-
gage the thoughts Of scholars. But we may
rightly conclude that the fact of a common
faith thus discovered and now unQuestioned
affords good ground to accept the doctrine
as truthful. 1t is unreasonable to reject
what the race has cherished for ages To
say the least this consensus of opinion may
be presented as a presumptive proof, one
not to be turned aside except upon evidence
that cannot be resisted But we may pre-
sent considerations that confirm what
worldwide man believes.

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
AT ZIONIST MEETING

NEW YORK, July Tone of the most
interesting and animated conventions In
the history of the Federation of American
Zionists was that which was held at Tan
nersvilie. adjourning Wednesday afternoon
after a session Of several days. Though the
convention opened under inauspicious cir
cumstances on account of discouraging re-
ports from the officers IL terminated with
much enthusiasm among the 200 delegates,
representing Zionist organizations IN all
parts of the country.

president, who had announced his determi-

was literally forced by popular clamor to
reconsider his decision. The same influence
was brought to bear upon DIR. Magnes, the
secretary. with the same result. They were
reelected amid much enthusiasm.

Nini8ter8 10 Insane.
Religious Services Conducted St EIzabehs-Rev Dr. John
Chester, Dean Of Chaplains of Institution-EIis
Notable Passionate Here

The recent investigation into the condi-
lions at the Government Hospital for the
Insane has conferred much interest In this
important institution. But with all the
scrutiny that 1t has been subjected to little
attention has been given to the faithful
workers in the religious field there-the
chaplains of the hospital, who at regular
intervals visit the asylum and carry spirit
ual consolation to the affiicted souls that
abide within Its confines. 1t was suggested
that ministers of the gospel could serve
but little purpose IN visiting an institution
for the insane. that their hearers would be
beyond the pale OF reason However true
that may be In the aggregate as to men,
bers. 1t Is insisted that at the Government
Hospital for the Insane there are large
number OF monomaniacs and persons sent
there for crime whose understanding is
quite the equal at least OF the average
churchgoer.
Religious exercises are held In the as
sembiy hail of the main building at the
hospital. attendance on which is entirely
voluntary. Strange to say, 1t Is very
largely the reverse of the rule in most city
churches, in that the congregation is con-
siderably made up of the male sex The
arrangements for chaplain service are prob
ably unsurpassed in any other insane
asylum. There are five chaplains each

A letter was read from the bishop OF
Manchester to the effect that there could
be no question OF the urgency Of the pres

to seize this great opportunity. The bishop
of Birmingham was quoted on the present
monopoly of the church by the piutocraey
and the capture Of the parish churches
