 Members Present.

Last night was a banner night in the hIetory of Horeb lodge, No 25, l. O. R. B., and 60 new members were initi- atcd into the ranks. The class Is the largest which has ever been initiated into Horeb lodge and the addition of these sixty members, aSong whom arc some of the most prominent merchants and professional men of the city, makes Horeb lodge the largest in the district.
 The lnitiatory work took up about an hour and q half and then a banquet followed m the Steinert atheneum. Several addresses had been made .up- stairs. among which was one by Adam Wiener, the grand president of the or der. After the banquet Judge Isaac Wolfe acted as toastmaster and intro duced other speakers.
 Among those who were called upon to speak was Harry Cutler of Provd- ence, the first vice president of the or- der and his address was one of the most notable of the evening. He spoke of how the Portuguese Jews in this country had been replaced by the Ger man Jews, and how now the German Jews are gradually giving place and becoming absorbed by the Russian Jews He spoke of the farlslghtedness of the German Jews when seventy years ago, they adopted a platform to stand on both in Grmany and in this country. This platform and the infu- ence of the unity of the German Jews has led to much advancement Now thousands of Russian Jews are coming from across the water, men coming not of their own volItion, but because of the years of persecution they have en- dured. It is the duty of Horeb lodge, he said and of the other lodges, to help these people along; to educate them and upllft them and teach them to know what Americanism really means. In these Russian Jews there Is the same throb which beats in ev- cry Amerlacn heart; the same ambi- tione, the same passions, the same faults We are here as pioneers tc direct them.
 The lofty principles of the United States government, he said, "are nc more lofty than the principles of our religion and of our lodge. Be a good citizen and you will be a good member of Bnai BrIth; be good Jew and you will be a good citizen. Be absolutely altruistie, always doing for others, and making the paths of others easier
 We revor the memory of one who carried in his heart everything noble and true; whose only thought was for the good of his fellow men, and whc < gave promise of a great future when his life was cut short. refer to one Of the late members of Horeb lodge one whom you all respected and loved Judge Jacob Ullman He was fine ideal for a young man to have His work left incomplete, muet be carried on by you
 Mir. Cutters remarks regarding tho | late Jacob Ullman brought Co tho minds of many who were present the fact that the night was near the an. ! Iniversary of the judge.
