LONGBEACH, Cal, Dec. II. 1908.
ED. STANDARD:
When Los Angeles decided to have
an up-to-date Y. NJ. C. A. structure
Francis Murphy was invited to in
augurate a movement for funds
Murphy said my ever reliable friend
Harriet WeinstOck, the Jewish mer.
chant of Sacramento, must have the
seat of honor at banquet and we
will show you how the brotherhood
OF man is practical thing, Mod-
ernism, a modern Jew and modern
McthodisD. There are 500, 900 Jews
IN the United States like him, who
are in faith looking for the coming of
the Messiah in the brotherhood of
man, when every man in goodwill
and fellowship will be the savior of
every other man, just as Jesus whose
teachings they cxalt sought to be.
And it was SO that, WeinstOck CO.
operating with Jew and Gentle, set
the pace. He gave, and advised all
Jews to give, and to get all the good
it brought into life. He told of a
conversation between mother and
daughter, who, when tod that Jesus
was a Jew, said. "Oh mother! I
always thought he was l Congrega-
tionalist! Every library should con-
tain WeinstOck's book, Jesus the
Jew" with preface by President
Jordan of Stanford. He is enthusi-
astic for the Y. NJ. c. A. and every
work that unfolds wholesome life.
He is now in New Zealand, studying
the workings of the compulsory arbi-
tratiOn law with thought of its use
in California, thence he sails for
Europe, where he speaks before sew
eral philanthropic meetings.
The world is discovering that gen
eral welfare-fOr society-accessi-
bllity of all to its benefits, must be
the democratic principle of every
pro b"no puJiico. In the natural law
of evolution out of the Inadequate
church, in the Y. NJ. c. A. is the
science of new impulse to make it
adequate by unity in a common pur-
pose-better for people, better for
church. Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in Olympia, the city beau
tiful, which John in his vision adown
the ages saw-clean-shirt day clean
not the city as it is to-day, but the
harmonious creation of united
Olympia on the ideals of her best
thinking-better still best doing
each something. The Y. NJ. c. A.
should be social center where one
can meet all sorts and conditions of
men without sectarian halo, palm
leaf and bymnal of inadequate med
iaeval days, but in a friendshiply
way" to get at the best there is in
life. People often become insane
from selfish isolation or lack of hui
man sympathy, or the habit of har-
boring ignoble thoughts. A man is
a native of God, and has no neces-
sity TO lack wisdom when the great
informing principle is within each of
the whole social bunch which might
assemble. A monkey does not re-
quire a doctor, neither would man
were he to live in fellowship with
the best within-practice living in
the city of god, as becomes genial.
rightly developed heir of things ma
terial and spiritual-and so the poor
doctors might then become produc-
ers of real wealth for this and the
other kingdom. On Percival's dock,
years since, lot of women, young
and old, come over on unusually
steep gang plank, with poiSe ease
and reserve power like quail, in
grace and beauty of physical action.
quickly noted the low heels and
sufficient width of their shoes and
consequent absence of crooks at
knees and lOins, which have to come
with high heels, and cause many
nervous ailments, which like any
other hell are not enjoyable. The
lOw-heeied women were beaming
with JOY, but few high-heeled
young women afraid to venture first,
requiring the aid Of purser, police
man and friends, were full of ex-
preSsionS OF fear, real helplessness,
were tax on the time of others, and
each walked under disadvantage be-
cause the long bones of the lower
limbs could not with high heels be
at right angles with the bridge of
the foot. Let one stand erect, then
put book Under his heels and the
erect posture is impossible without
crook at knees and hips. The wo-
man doing that, don't break Gods
law of health. She is broken in
health, not the law, and disobedience
in any world and all worlds is like
unto that. The low-heelers made
fine exhibit of sanitary work, break
fast food and high thinking at their
