SUPPRESS NOTORIOUS HY-
POCRISY.

Often, yes, only too often, do we
see some one or other seeking notori-
ETY. through expressions from the pull
pit and eventually the press. Why
do such men as DR.. Hirsch for in
stance, give utterance to such ey-
pressions as were credited to him re-
Gently? We don't believe that he
means a ward of it. He is seeking
notoriety as we stated before. If the
Jewish press would unite and pay no
particle of attention to such remarks
it wouldn't be long till the tenor of
his lectures changed and such action
would be ablessing for our people.
A newspaper is supposed and ex-
pected to tell the public everything
within its power, but they are not
supposed to be the guileless prey OF
some soulless hypocrite seeking free
advertising so that when he makes +;
lecture tour he is the "noted Mr.. SC
and So or ''noted Mr.. somebody
else" Let's unite and quit dis
pensing free advertising to notoriety
seekers, whether they be ministers
editors or in other walks of life. Al
long as we countenance it so Ions
they will continue it.
Unite and turn the current.

SETTING AN IDEAL.

Every sense brings to us the mes
sage of duty in this great world. AS
we look out upon that expansive field
of labor, we perceive in this corner OF
that work that seems to accord with
our desires or capabilities and we fix
that corner as the profitable field in
which we shall engage. In other
words we set before us our ideal.

RABBI WILLNER'S THIRD
LECTURE.

A1e'oo LUCY ONSAAlhS5 1to1pUl w Ill
ner delivered the third of his series
OF lectures on the Dogmas of Juda-
ism. He touched on only two sub
jects: The Unity of God, and the
Probability Of Miracles. He said in
part: The idea of unity is opposed
to the trinity Of christianity and the
dualsm of the Persans. These lat.
ter were monolators and therefore
found themselves in some things,
agreeing with Judaism. They wor-,
shipped sAhura Mazda and detested
Ahriman. Judaism protests against
this dualism, but it's influence was
keen in shaping the christian idea of
God and Devil. Whether we believe
in angels or not is immaterial the
angel is supposed to be messenger
of God. But to. believe in devil
means to subscribe to dualism, or
''two Nominations. The Satan of the
Bible and Jewish writer's is not. a
power of evil working against God,
but so to say the executioner of God +;
he fulflls his Masters message.
Going over the belief in miracles,
the definition of the word was deyel-
oped and it was shown that miracle
is an event which is remarkable, be-
ing contrary to our expectation, based
on our known laws of nature. This
| definition corresponds with the ideas
Of Locke and Huxley. But some
! times one law counteracts another,
and then something unusual happens
not contrary to nature, but contrarp

LIVES OF EQUAL VALUE.
Rabbi Harrison Says Riches and
Standing Don't Count in
Hereafter.
Sermon on Atonement Day.

Rabbi Leon Harrison delivered
a sermon of foroeful appeal to his
congregation at Temple Israel on
the occasion Of the, eve of Atone
ment Day, Yom .Kippur After dis
cussing what the iday, means, DIR.
Harrison declared life Of equal value,
no matter, of, how little value it may
be in this world; that it is more ac-
ceptable to see. Gods temple filled
only by the poor than only by the
rich, honored by those who have lit
tie rather than those who have every
thing. In closing, he made an APP
peal for the uniting of families "rent
asunder,'' and friendship again be
tween those who have been old
friends but whose relations have been
severed.
The sermon, in part, follows:
What is the secret and power. of
this wonderful day that still draws
every Jew to the house of God; that
| fills the most irreverent with solemn
emotions? Why is, atonement still
the annual revival, almost the resur-
rection, of Jewish feeling in every
Jewish heart
1t is surely not because we believe
artlessly with our fathers that the
Book of Life is closed and sealed
with the shadows of the coming
night; that it is decided on this day
who are to live and. who are to die
who are to prosper and who are to. be
afflicted, who are to beacast down and
who arctic be exalted.
! Nor do we assemble thus solemnly
and universally with the superstition

passing shadows-this deepest emo
ton of all overwhelms, us on this day

of. reverence. AMI is that little
thing in this generation that has be-
come SO fippant, that is so cynical,
|tthat seems incapable of taking life
Earnestly, of considering the universe
seriously and asking whence they
come and whittier they go and what
purpose they serve and in whose
hands they are?
In the intoxication of the wild
chase for the worlds prizes you
pause for a moment, therefore, not
for superstition simply or. ancient
custom or fear, but because a sub

younger generation and to all our
fellowmen.
All Lives Count Equally.
Every man should seek, must seek,
to be at one with the Highest, to. rise
again to- the level of his own best
self, in religious language, to, be re-
conciled with God. Every man! Not
some men who believe certain things
as in other religions, not a few capri

cry man, for every mans life is of
unspeakablc importance. Yea, incon-
eeiyably great as the All-Powerful is,
/ insignificant as each man seems to
be, yet every human soul is precious.
You may have almost lost this sense
of the unspeakable value and divine
ness of your own life. You may
have failed; you may be a broken
man. You may be crushed and spir-
itless. You may have fallen behind

THE UNEASY ORIENT

ONE cablegram reports that Japan
is threatening to use force to
~ recover the steamer Tatu Maru,
seized by Chinese cruisers and held
by China at Huangpu on the charge
that it was carrying arms and am
munition for Chinese revolutionists.
Another dispatch states that Japan has
been compelled to vacate or buy all
the Russian banks throughout Man
churia seized by her during the war,
and consequently has lost prestige with
the Chinese. No doubt Japan has
earned the contempt of the heather
Chinee by giving up or purchasing the
seized banks, but why this evidence
of Japan's advance in civilization or
her response to European and Ameri-
can coercion should be mistaken by the
Chinese for a sign of weakness would
be inexplicable if we had not witnessed
from time to time Illuminating flashes
that lit up this or that new angle OF
what the Chinese call their character"
Between the surrender or purchase of
the Russo Chinese banks the capture
of the Tatu Maru and China's con-
temptuous refusal to surrender it on
demand there is a distinctly traceable
connection. 1t looks as If Japan had
lost prestige in China, and if Japanese
prestige is on the wane there will be
more complications in the east, for
Japan will make up her mind that she
must reassert herself.
That China should obligingly have
stepped forward into the ring at time
when many thought that Japan's lat
had been flung into it and that the
brown brother was "spoilin for a
fight" with somebody, If he could con-
duct said fight without being at too
much expense, is another evidence of
the propensity of the Monaghan for
me- '1ing blunders A war with Japan
would almost inevitably lead to the
long talked of disruption and partition
of the Chinese empire, and the word
almost" is used merely because there
is remote chance that China might
turn the tables on Japan. In the event
of anything so unlikely the concert of
the powers would tune up in the orient
again and China would find that she
had been pulling chestnuts out of the
fire for the benefit of the Europeans.
A strong, consolidated China, able to
attend to her own affairs, would be
guarantee of the peace of the world.
1t is to be hoped that China will not
go to war with Japan. No matter
which wins there will be an addition to
the white mans burden of worry.

LEST WE FORGET

A ARRANGEMENTS are being made
N for the annual encampment at
IA Santa Ana one month hence of
the department of California and Me-
vada of the G. A. r. The number of
men entitled to wear the little bronze
button is dwindling, but there are still
enough veterans of the war of the re-
bellion to make the army of the boys
in blue recognizable force. The
story of the blue and the gray is an
old story now. and the men who led to
battle the armies of the divided re-
public have nearly all heard taps
sounded as they sat by the ashes of
their campfires in the cleaning OF
their lives. One of the veterans has
said. pathetically, that "a long march
wearies them now" They have had a
weariful, long march over the hills
and down the valleys and along the
rough roads of life since the last great
review, at the close of which the war
drums throbbed no longer and the bat
tie flags were furled. The country can
never outgrow it's debt to the men
who saved it. The Union was formed
in blood. and years afterward was ce-
mented in blood. But love, said the
immortal Henry Drummond, is
stronger cement than blood. 1t is the
greatest thing in the world, the great
est power, the greatest force. May
brotherly love continue in this republic.
Every gathering of the G. A. r. re-
minds the good citizen, not only of his
indebtedness to the fathers, but of his
duty to posterity. Conditions that
threaten to divide the United States
into hostile camps should be fought
and fought, and fought Brotherly
hate succeeded by brotherly strife will
inevitably be the result of a course of
conduct which separates the people of
this country broadly into two classes,
those who Have and those who Want.
AS courageous Bob Ingersoll used to
say, "It won't do; oh, 1t won't dol"
When the veterans assemble let their
fellow citizens bethink themselves of
the real meaning Of this reminiscent
gathering. this echo of an old deadly
strife, that is almost forgotten. We
may forget the strife, but we may not
and must not forget the causes Of it.
Privilege. unbridled and unchecked
and defiant. and a disregard Of the
rights of man and of the first princi-
Piles of Americanism, produced the
war of the rebellion.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget"

How He Did II

when was Connected with a certain
western railway" says prominent
official of an eastern line, 1--WE had in
our employ brakeman who, for spe-
cial service rendered to the road, was
granted months vacation.
He decided to spend his time in q
trip over the Rockies. We furnished
him with passes.
HE went to Denver and there met
number of his friends at work on one
of the Colorado roads. They gave
him good time and when he went
away made him present of noun
tain goat.
Evidently our brakeman was at a
loss to get the animal home with him,
as the express charges were kery
heavy at that time. Finally. however,
hitting upon a happy expedient, he
made out shipping tag and tied 1t to
the horns of the goat Then he pre-
scented the beast to the office of the
stock car line.
"Well, that tag created no end of
amusement. but it served to accom-
plish the end of the brakeman. 1t
