NATIONAL GRAIN
DEALERS MEET
Thousand Delegates Discussing I'M
portant Matters at the Meeting
In st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 15.-With thols-
and delegates attending the national
grain dealers association began its
convention today. A. E. Reynolds, OF
Charlottesville, Ind, opened the con-
vention. The plan to establish federal
inspection of grain promises to be one
of the most important topics discuss
ed. The project was voted down a
year ago at Indianapolis. The discus.
sion practically aligns the east against
the west. Grain grades higher in the
west in point OF shipment thai. in
points east where received. In the fed
eral inspection of uniform standard the
eastern buyers would have to accep,
western grading. Trading in grain
features was another subject on which
the convention will probably take 9
stand.

Property Mortaaged.

John w. Cassidy has mortgaged all
his property that was obtained
through his local bucket shop opera
tons, and it is an irony of fate that
the broad acres that were once the
possession of well known Quincy
playwright, and which he acquired.
are now the subject of dispute be-
tween the people who have claims
against him and himself. 1t is only
from the equity on these acres that he
expects to prevent proceedings which
might overwhelm him the moment
they were instituted One of the
claims held against him is that of a
man who, if he cannot collect it, will
be left penniless.
A requisition for William A. Cassidy
is now in contemplation, and It is said
that there is sufficient ground for
bringing back the man to stand the
outcome of legal proceeding.
Various legal proceedings are also
in course of consideration by ATTORNEYS
relative to John w. Cassidy and inter
esting developments are considered
certain within day or two unless set
Element is made OF certain claims
against him.

To those acquainted with the facts,
it is no longer doubted that John w.
Cassidy was all along back of the Cas-

the receipts of the firm, over and

turned over to w. Cassidy. More
than this, it is now known that less

CHILDREN CELEBRATE
CHANUKAH.

In the presence of their par
ents, relatives and friends, the
children of Adath Yeshurun Sun
day School celebrated Chanukah
last Sunday afternoon at the
Synagogue. Despite the in
clemency of the weather a very
good attendance prevailed.
Minchah services were read
by A. Hurwitz and the Maariv
by Morris Mas, both be-
ing under fourteen years of age.
There was quite a lengthy list
of recitations and one or two pa
pers, after which the children
received bags of nuts, fruits and
candies and retired.

to church sermons.
1t is about time we gave the
Hirsches and Wises more seri-
GUS consideration, and that we
tell them if they want to REFORM
society, become politicians, if
they want to amuse an audience
with speeches become lecturers,
and if they wish to be in close
friendship with the ministers to
become members of their
churches. Judaism is not Chris
tianity; a rabbi is not minister
and synagogue is not a church
and neither is a Jew gentle.
Those who are inducing us to
Christianity are not church rab-
bis, they are apostles, and the
great danger is in the fact that
they are coming from our midst,
destroying everything that is So
called Jewish. The way natur-
ally opens itself for Christiani-
ty, at least for modern Christi
anity, which does not believe in
the Trinity.
Sooner or later the time will
come in the Jewish camp when it
must arise of necessity to declare
an open war against this move
ment. War which will have
great effect on the future of the
Jews in America.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1908-12-24
THE CHRISTIAN JEW.
written especially for the Jew
ish Herald by Rev. H. B.
Lieberman.)

Statements, you know, have
all but said openly and plainly
that there is in existence here in
America, a movement which
commences with Judaism and
ends with Christianity, and those
who are at the head of this move
ment are nearer in their minds
and in their feelings to the gen.
tile than to the Jew. There is
great danger if this movement
continues and grows that it will
in the end bring thousands of
the Jewish youths under the
wings of Christianity.
May those about whom we will
write holloa as much as they
please, and may they repeat
thousand times that they are
representing true Judaism; we
are telling them that the way
which they are dragging along
the American Jewish youth ends
at the church.
We admit that the generals
of this movement do not know
themselves how near they are to
Christianity, and it perhaps may
also be that they are covering
the truth not only from others
but even from themselves, but
be the matter as it may, this
does not a particle improve their
dangerous agitation and their
anti-Jewish propaganda. The
first Christians were themselves
Jews and they used to say that
they did not come to destroy the
Jewish religion, neither did they

but what they did come to do
was to take an extract of this
religion, the foundation of it,
and this is the ''love for human
ity." Just the same words are
used by our new apostles; the
very same words they are preach
ing in their temples in the name
of Judaism and Israel. In the
name of Judaism and Israel
Rabbi Hirsch says that he rec
ognizes a gentle to be a nearer
co-religionist than an Orthodox
Jew, and we regret that these
words have to be written in the
history of the Jews of America.
May the Jews of America
know that from the pulpit of
Temple Sinai, propaganda was
made for Christianity. May
they also know that there is a
rabbi who opened his heart and
explained his feelings of sympa-
thy more for Christianity than
for Judaism, for not always do
the leaders have the courage to
express just what they feel, but
the tendency is always the same;
the rabbi who says that Jesus
was the greatest man among
Jews, who takes sentences of the
new testament for his sermons,
is wniking to the camp of the
gentiles. The tone of his speeches
is so similar to that which the
first apostles had used, it is so
far from Judaism that it is very
easy to recognize that there is
nothing left in them of Jewish
culture, and that they have no
connection with Judaism and
their influence comes entirely
from the non-Jewish new tesla
ment.
Another thing we do not COM
prehend is the Judaism which
Rabbi Wise breaches in his free
synagogue, mot to destroy but
to build" The preface which
brings back so strong to
our minds the statement of the
first Christians is not a good

/
do we understand in the word
cold Judaism? The foundation
of Judaism, says further the pro-
gram of the free synagogue, is
to keep up the social conscience
and make stronger the brother
ly feelings, but, my dear Rabbi
Wise, the social conscience does
not lie within Jewish hands only,
and neither have we the strength
to watch it, and brotherly feel
ing was preached by the Chris
tians nearly two thousand years
ago, as we'll as by the Jews.
Now what is the difference be-
tween your free synagogue and
a church Does not DR.. Aked,
the minister of Rockefeller's
church, preach the same as you
about brotherhood and humani-
ty Or still more, do we not find
in the Christian, Mohammedan
and Confucian books the verses
in the same words of brotherly
love? What, then, is Judaism,
and in what way does it differ
from the above mentioned re-
ligions? What relationship has
Judaism to the series of lectures
on the social problems of our
times which were held last year
in the free synagogue, and what,
for instance, can Mr.. Robert
Watchurn or other ministers
such as Hervln, DIR. Devine, ia
cob Riis, who lectured last
year in the free synagogue, tell
us about Judaism? If there is
really no difference between a
rabbi and a minister, between a
synagogue and a church, between
Jew and gentle, why not better
go to church and do away en-
tirely with the synagogue?
The free synagogue was orig
inally a church, and remains
still the same, says DR.. Wise.
Well, we will take the Doctors
word for it that it is so; but the
question is, if there is no differ
ence between ,T1daiSIn and Chris.
