II am confident that J. M. Nc

aid children, can tell the location
of them If they want to-" declared
Police Chief Rice this morning.
The police placed little faith in
the assertions of Madeline Melon
old, age 16, the older sister, that
she would drown herself and the
younger child, Lois, age seven, II
the court awarded them to their
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Nc
Donald, again. To each police shift
as it goes out Is read the descrip-
ton of the missing children and
the men are told to make particu-
lar INQUIRIES in trying to locate
them. II Madeline threw herself
and the child into the river, as
she threatened, there Is little hope
of locating the bodies for some
time on account of the cold
weather.
II do not believe that Madeline
Mcdonald has carried out her
threat to drown herself and her
little sister, Lois. She may do SO,
however, before the case is ended,
as she has firmly set her head
against the return of her little sis
ter to her parents. If she finds
that she is pursued and there is
probability of little Lois being
taken away from her she may end
her troubles in some dreadful way.
Madeline, before leaving, was
worked up to high pitch of ex-
element and seemed on the Dor
der of a nervous collapse. She had
conceived the impression that the
court was about to restore the lit
tie girl to her parents. and Made
line declared that before she would
consent to see her little sister go
through what she had to endure
they should die together first"
Mrs. Pickard, E24 Nora avenue,
this morning made this statement
when questioned as to her knOwl-
edge of the missing girls where
abouts. Mrs. Pickard was very
much averse to talking of the case
at all. as the only knowledge she
had of the Mcdonald troubles was
gained through the fact that j. M,
Mcdonald and wife for time oc-
cupied suite of rooms in the fiat
at the corner of Nora avenue and
Pearl street, next to the rooms &C.
cunied by the Pickard family, and
Madeline Mcdonald was in and out
of Mrs. Pickard's rooms often.
Madeline Mcdonald impressed
me as high minded, honest and
upright girl" continued Mrs. Pick
ard. she was always truthful and
prompt in keeping her word and
was never out at night. When her
aunt, Mrs. j. M. Mcdonald. went
away, Madeline would no longer
stay at the Dexter hotel, where her
aunt and uncle were stopping. We
sympathized with her and invited
her to come and stay with us I'M
til her aunt returned, which she
did. She was with us 10 days be.

see everything for herself, not what
her advisers wish her to see.
From o'clock onward she is at
home to her ministers, with whom
she does not hesitate to indulge in
very forcible arguments of their
proposals do not suit her.
Dinner is at p. M, and except
when guests are present it is par
ticularly meager meal. Like every
true Hollander, Wilhelmina is al
ways in bed by 1880 p. m.

holds that the statement which is said
to have been made by President Eliot

that the Jews were physically .infe-

which their ancestors were subjected.

a weekly rest-day is necessary, and it
is also essential that there be.a gen
eral observance day. Some labor, how.
ever, is imperative every day, and in
such eases an extra shift should be
worked in so that each shift may have
one day in seven. We would, how
ever, change the word Sunday to Sab
bath, and then we would have a more
correct terminology and one satisfac-
tory to everybody. Those who con
scientiously have and still do observe
Saturday as the Sabbath should be
permitted to trade on the first day of
the week, although we strongly favor
of the week as a cirH rest-day, for
such an institution the Sabbath actu-
ally is.
Where. however. the judge is large
ly misled is when he says: 1T is the
peculiar feature of Christianity by
which is meant the system of theology
taught by the old and new testa-
ment." And this in reference to the
Sabbath. No doubt he uses the term
christianity" merely as a matter of
convention. But he makes mistake
in spite of it all. The Sabbath is not
theological institution. nor was it
Christian institution. 1t was, as to-
day intended, primarily Jewish, for
rest and for worship expressed in
terms of the noblest service of God.
The Sabbath should not restrict us,
but refine us; it should not be con-
fined by laws, but merely defined by
them.

;ux-N.n of the Western Book
Book concern of the
anu the Methodist Episcopal
Church Church, has been saying
some things recently which sound like
a swan song. He attacks the tyranny
of the unsanctifed labor union, but
the labor union has largely been made
tyrannical, if it indeed be so, by the
aggravated tyranny of the union OF
capital. The church may not be a.
rectly prejudiced against the work
man. but it decidedly is so indirectly.
The church has become the rich man S
church, and all too frequently not
only the workingman, but also the
middle classes are snubbed. What
welcome would man in working at
tire. with rough exterior, but gen
tie soul within, obtain at fashiona-
BILE Fifth avenue church in New York?
He would be Stunned, perhaps con-
demned for his presumption. Or.
Jennings correctly remarks: IF the
working man does not go TO church 1t
is because the working man does not
want to 90 to church., for the church
offers him nothing but theology, dog
ma and creed, and the working man
has generally gotten beyond all these
non-essentials and enemies Of relig-
ion. And further, he is a social in
ferior. We do not act much better
in our temples and synagogs. We are
assimilating the evils of our environ
ment in undue proportions, and all
this is revenging itself upon the tenn
pie and the church. The church. as
such, is a democratic institution and
should dispense to the hungry and the
thirsty the bread and the water, not
of death. but of life.

mediaevalism and assume it's evOlu-
ton and progressiveness. We recent
iy mentioned the turtle crawl of
small portion on Anglo-Jewry in this
direction. We may now regard the
movement in Franch, which somehow
received an impetus from the recent
separation law. Judaism in France
has been at very low ebb, and even
the late chief rabbi, Zadok Kahn, per-
mitted some innovations Of little con-
sequence. Now, however, the Union
Israelite of Paris has dedicated its
new temple wherein the service and
the whole mise en- scene are patterned
after those of the American Reform
temple. 1t is to be hoped that this
will restore many French Jews to Ju-
daism and the temple. Germain Levy
is the founder and the rabbi of the
new society. In his opening address
he declared that all religions had to
undergo an examination of their con-
science. that there must be distinc-
ton between ''fact and form, princi-
pie and CUSTOM" that "liberal Juda
ism appealed to reason, and they were
following the best Jewish tradition by
accepting truth from whatever source
it came Narcisse Leven, vice pres
ident of the Orthodox Central COnsis
tory, bespeaks no future for Reform
in France because French Jews are
broad-minded as it is, able to dis
pense with the ceremonies in practice
without troubling to revise their re-
ngious standpoint in theory He
regards the movement as a schism,
detrimental not alone to Judaism, but
also to civilization. He further stated
that if Reform became general
French Jews would lose the conf
dence of Eastern and Russian Jews.
The Orthodox French Jewish press
designates the service "a grand
mass" and criticizcs the move as
rapproachment with Christianity aris-
ing out of an ignorance of the spirit
of Judaism. Such opposition and at
tacks are trivial and will in no wise

Unobservant, yet he glories in being

be national Jew, perhaps because of
the growth of Hungarian anti-Semit-
ism. perhaps because he is not n So
called religious Jew. All non-relig-

however. is optimistic and fears not
for the future of Jewry. 1t is safe.
His pride of race makes him feel that
Judaism will never die and that jew
ish ideals will eventually triumph
and dominate. We could do with
many such ardent Jews as he, al
though we feel that the way he gets
