DIR. uMAGNEs' SERMON.

Every Jewish paper one picks up
still teens with references to The bomb
shell cast by Dr.. Magnes into the camp
of Reform Judaism. This will continue
indefinitely. 1t is a healthy, a most
encouraging sign an daugurs well for
Conservative Judaism Many are the
hearts in which beat high the hope that
this re-awakening VIII be of lasting
benefit
AS for Reform at which the blow
was aimed, that is another story"
Conservatives now see that what at
first appeared but as a cloud on the
horizon, no bigger than a mans hand,
has grown with incredible rapidity
an dalmost engulfed the ever noble
craft of our faith, which had success
fully withstood tempestuous storms
for untold centuries.
The forked lightning of Dr. Magnes'
disapproval at the insidious inroad
made in the faith by Reform in the
last fifty years descended like an avail
anche, and those responsible for the
present state of affairs are casting
about for a haven of refuge. Excite
ment is rife, there is much talk and
hard feeling in many quarters. DR..
Magnes, the central figure, sticks to
his guns Although the awakening
lacks the spiritual force for which he
prayed, he must rest content that he
has caused this stir. The American en-
vironment is highly responsible that
his ideals will fall far short of realiza-
ton. Many circumstances economic in
character, put this beyond our control.
Our mode of life is incompatible with
great religious activity. The soul puts
forth power towards spirituality only
in proportion to the trials to which it
is subjected
The crisis, If it may so be designated,
precipitated by DR.. Magnes lives by
virtue of it's novelty, Reform Judaism
will no doubt inaugurate some new
movement, may be attempt some slight
departure inorder to quell the tumult.
But, as the excitement dies down, all
will settle into the old-time calm.
Not but that change would be both
wholesome and desirable from many
standpoints. But the Jewish mind un-

Senator Delivers death comes so
unexpectedly upon the state that even
with the prcmonitory warnings that
had been given there is no preparation

the porch of his beautiful home in the
brilliant October sunshine, the golden
foliage Of the naples scattered in rich
profusion on the ground, everything
suggestive of peace and health, he
talked as jovially AS he always had,
with mock gravity complained Of the
doctors that they wanted him 70 be
in bed without cause, reviewed some
of the phases of the political situation,
spoke of Roosevelt, and his future,
pledged himself to a continued struggle
for the common right, and waved his
arm in farewell, apparently serene in
the prospect of speedy restoration TO

for the prosecution this morning. lie

In summing up, Lord Alverstone de.
scribed Crippen M an extraordinary
man. II guilty he had covered up his
CHASTITY crime in n CHASTITY way and,
IL was believed, in the most brutal and
Gallons possible manner If innocent, il
IL impossible to fathom his mind, as he
is abolutely Indifferent to the charge Of

or to prove his innocence.
Crippen, the justice declared, undoubt

Wet him on that score. lie charged
the jury that they must be convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt that the hu.
man parts found were those Of Belle
Elmore and that her death was caused
by the wilful act of the prisoner.
The jury then retired and after a half
hours delibcration reported that il had
found DIR. Crippcn guilty. Crippen was
thereupon sentenced to death.
Before passing sentence, Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone asked the prisoner
IL he had anything to say.
In a low voice Crippen replied; ~
till protest my innocence" The Chief
justice then donned the black cap that
had rested near him throughout the
trial and pronounced the sentence of
death.
Crippen will be hanged. No date has
been set, but it will probably be done
within a month.
II was announced this evening that
Crippen would be hanged on November
18th.
