RABBIS PROTEST.
ASK That Sectarian Teaching in Schools
Be Abolished.

Chicago, Dec. A problem which
has agitated school boards in all cities
of the country where the population has
a large foreign element broke out in
Chicago when a memorial asking the
school board to do away with all Sec
tartan teachings in the school was pre-
scented to President Alfred r. Urion.
The memorial is signed by five Jewish
religious workers.
The petition claims that in various
hymns in the schools there are moral
lessons Numerically opposed to the
Hebrew faith and that there is a ten
dency to teach Jewish children things
that their religion either condemns or
does not favor. This is against the
spirit and the letter of true democracy,
the protesting rabbis claim, and they
close their memorial with a request
that the president at once issue an or
der taking these hymns out of the
schools

ALL HOPE GONE.
Wreckage of the Steamer ELAN
Vannin Floats Ashore.

London, Dec. All hope Of the
survival of the passengers and crew
of the Isle of Man steamer ELAN
Vannin was abandoned today when
portions of a steamers upper works
and small boats, picked up on the
banks of the Mersey. were definitely
identified as belonging to the missing
vessel. The Ellan-Vannin carried IL
passengers and a crew of 81.
The little craft was the mascot of
the Isle of Man Steam Packet COM
pany's fleet and her luck was
proverbial. For 40 years she had
ridden the seas and she had never
lost a passenger. She sailed or her
last voyage from Ramsey, Isle of Man,
for Liverpool at midnight on Thurs
day and ran into the hurricane early
yesterday. 1t is believed she was
driven on Mersey bar and foundered.
The loss of the steamer Thistlemore
off Appledore in Barnstable bay also
was confirmed today, but some of the
crew of 80 were saved. The steamer
Arndale, which was in the vicinity at
the time of the disaster picked up
the Thistlemores boats containing 10
men one of whom later died from the
effects of exposure. The Arndale, like
many other vessels, was damaged and
put back into Barry, Wales.
The gale continued over the Irish
channel with undated severity
throughout the night.

Committees Named to Organize
the Work.
MIR. TRIMBLE'S TALK.

The gathering at 6 o'clock dinner
last night at the Commercial club of
40 church laymen of the city was rep
resentative of the various business in
terests of the city. The object of the
dinner was to effect a permanent lay
mems organization for Topeka and to
discuss plans for the big Laymen's
Missionary convention which will be
one of about rs similar gatherings be-
ing held over the United States and
will take place February 22-24
Il believe that a crisis is at hand in
the worlds history" said Robert Stone
who presided at the meeting. The lay
mems missionary movement seems to
be one of the greatest movements of
our times. 1t was inaugurated some
years ago by business men who saw
something nobler than mere CONNER
cial interests.
Mr. J. E. Trimble. the speaker of the
evening, who has charge of the work
in connection with the experimenting
of the IA conventions which will be
held in the western-c central division of
the country was then introduced
While the speaker gave in clear way
the object of the great world wide move
ment his address was full of humor
which occasionally caused a ripple of
laughter. He said in part:
THE laymen'S movement is a lneal
6escendent of the haystack evangelical
and not many years since an anniver-
sary was held of the haystack move
ment at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New
York and out of this grew the laymen's
movement of today.
1T isn't lifeless movement but is
alive and alert. 1t has as its purpose
the evangelizing of the world this gen
Grafton. The fact that it is a laymen' s
missionary movement is what has i'm
pressed me. 1t is only about 20 years
the first woman graduate went out from
a college in America. Be it as it is the
secret got out-and it is out for good.
OF course the young people found them
selves in the last century-take the
student volunteer movement for exam
pie.
