 Tobias Lear was held in very high esteem by General Washington, "s these letters show Lear was quite H young man when he became secretary to Washington. He served through Washington's eight years in the pres l idency and remained with his chief lln- til the latter's death at Mount Vernon, The first wife of Tobias Lear was Mary Long of Portsmouth, N.

At the usual weekly services at se Jewish Temple Friday night, Rab-
 E. Frisch spoke on What Judaism ahinks of the Bible" it being the fourth of his series on The Essence of Modern Judaism.' In part he said:
 One of the curious circumstances of the present day is the position oc- cuped by the Bible in the esteem and regard of the people. What do people nowadays think of the Bible? Many of them don't think at all about it, the Bible no longer being for them, within the range of important consid- erations. Some look upon it as a deservedly dethroned monarch, once supreme in dominion, now defeated and subjugated by the hosts of science and history. The vast majority of the people have some vague idea that something has happened to the old religious literary guide to iniure it's prestige as the direct word of God, and yet they retain a lingering respect for it, without however, going to the trouble of forming closer acquain- tance with it. There are indeed a few who recognize that the progress l in the discovery and thought of hu- manity within the last five decades \. n Particular has thrown different \ Ii N>Apon the Bible, but that far from suffering from this the great book has emerged from the test more inyul- nerable and resplendent than ever
 Will the Bible Regain It's Lost Pres. tige.
 Why has the Bible lost prestige SO signally in our times, so that if one quotes from it in private conversa- tion he is suspected either of old fogyism or eccentricity? It is because, on the one hand, it has been forced to give up it's old position as the re- Eealed and authoritative word of God, while on the other hand, the great masses of the people have not yet earned to regard it with the new Teneration with which students of the new school regard it in the light of the new standards of valuation set bp by natural science and historical (esearch.
