THE STOCK MARKET Gould Stocks Drop is a Feat ure of a Stagnant
 Market.
ERIE BOARD NEXT WEEK
Missouri Pacific. Reaches the Lowest Level in Nearly Ten
 Years.

The same stagnation in the stock market prevailed during the first half of the day as was witnessed Tuesday, with this exception, that trading was enlivened by the collapse in various low priced shares. Some of the de- clines were three to five points, the Gould issues collapsing. Rock Island, Southern Railway, and Erie were also notably weak The result of these sen sational movements was slowing down of the general market, which had been very firm for a time; then a slow sagging off, under reduced volume. Early in the afternoon the entire mar ket was distinctly heavy, carried down. ward by various disquieting rumors.

The news that there might be some labor troubles growing out of the at- tempt of railroads to cut wages did not disturb the street. In the first place it is not believed that there will be any general reduction before next fall; not then If the outlook for 1909 Is good. Tn the second place It is not common sense to believe that labor unions will order strikes at time when there are two to three men for every one position, with the prospects of this ratio increasing rather than de- creasing.

we the soul to answer to the
prayer books call? When the
divine call came to Samuel, he
answered: Speak, Lord; thy
servant heareth.' Are we pre-
pared to answer as Samuel did!
Do these earnest petitions, these
soulful exhortations, do they
make any impressions on our
hearts? Do we surrender our
soul to the Divine Being?
"For, after all, the question is
not have we the power to an

but have we spirit and soul

frame of mind. That frame of
mind is to be acquired in one
way only. By faithfulness.
Men build great bridges for rail
roads to cross over, because OF
faithfulness. Men make i'm
rmense boats to travel the seas,
and faithfulness does it. The old
Jewish faithfulness to every law
of God is the key to unlock many
closed doors.

good enough for simple folks,

The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1908-11-05

y The following is a very inter-
esting extract from the sermon
delivered by DR.. Henry Barn
stein on Yom Kippur at Beth
Israel Temple:
CAS- we are now in the new
Beth Israel, it seems a fitting OPP
portunity for us to consider why
we should come here every week.
I have preached the subject OF
synagogue attendance again and
again, and, as is your custom,
you have always given me re-
spectful hearing. Yet only a
few make it custom to attend
the place of worship at least once
each week.
"Other congregations are
made up of all sorts and condi-
lions of people. And Jewish
congregation-no matter what
branch of Judaism it may belong
tbs also composed of all sorts
and conditions of people, and
one has only to ask the question
of men and women and note the
difference in answers to realize
in how many different ways peo-
pie are accustomed to look at this
matter.
"The regular attendants on
the synagogue service will tell
you that they look forward to
Friday evening with pleasure;
that they get something helpful,
something worth while, in these
services. The best kind of men
and women feel themselves bet
ter men and women after the
have attended a service of wor-
ship to their God.
"What is the real function of
Jewish public worship?
"The English Jew will tell us
that he has no particular desire
to go back to the Holy Land
that he doesn't care about the re-
vival of the old ceremonies, and
that he does not look forward to
the temperance of a personal
Messiah. We Americans, look
ing at things in our occidental
ism, hear our English co-relig-
ionists with sympathy, perhaps.
I'VE will agree that the ritual
