DR.. Peters sermon.

Preach every commandment Of God,
regardless of consequences. We have
soft soaped the poor and honied the rich
until both have lost faith in US. Greed
has commercialiied business, mann
monized the church, and hypnotized the
clergy. We need old-time ministers,
who were prophets, not parrots or
phonograps Many Of the churches in
the large centers, he said, are dominated
by the rich who, by payment Of large
salaries silence the preachers, who seem
willing to sell their conviction for coin.
One man gives million for university
in California, and then puts up the
freight rates and makes it all back by
robbing the poor shippers. Another
gives millions to philanthropy, and next
day puts up the price of oil, and makes
it all back, and more. He gave a brief
account of campaign that is being
waged in New York against usurers,
who are extortionate in their dealings
with the poorer classes. 1t was found
that nine out Of ten of these moneyed
oppressors were leading members Of the
church.

TRIBUTE no JEWS.

Speaking again on The Jews Part
in Making America, = DIR. Peters paid
an eloquent tribute to the race. The
jew wishes to be measured by the stand
ard applied to other men, and that
justice be done him. The story of the
Jew is the history of civilization; he is
the fulfillment of prophecy, the wonder
of the world; they are heard Of away out
out of proportion to the weakness OF
their numbers. The Jewish race has
produced greater men in proportion to
their numbers than any other people.
They have made a tremendous fight and
have won out, with hands tied behind
them. The Jew has given the world
knowledge of the only true and living
God; he has given it Moses, and the
Bible; the worlds ideal, Jesus, was a
Jew. OF special interest was the state
ment of the lecturer that Jews formed
the financial basis of the Columbus ex-
petition; that it was Jews and not Jewels
that financed this expedition Of dis
covery, and that it so happened that the
first white man to put foot upon Amer
lean soil was Jew. And again he said
Haym Solomon, a little Jew broker, was
the real fnancier of the American revo-
luton, he having given in all 1868, 900
to help the colonial cause, not a cent of
which has ever been paid back Haym
Solomon's story is an unwritten chapter
in American history As to the Jew Of
the future in America, DIR. Peters thinks
he will be neither Christian nor a good
Jew, but a Goddess American. He says
the Jews who have become Christians
have been failures. Commenting on the
fact that a Jewish rabbi, DIR. /. Levin
thai, of Nashville, pronounced bene-
diction in the auditorium here last Sun |
day night, Dir. Peters said: Because he
makes concessions he is none the less a
Jew. DIR. Lewinthal is solving the prob
lem OF right relations between Jews and |
and if there were more Rabbi |
Lewinthals the question would be set

decisive inning we hadn't been able
to do anything with Browns pitch
ing. He was going strong and 1t
looked as If we never could beat him.
Then O'Leary and Crawford cracked
out line singles to start the inning,
and with runners on first and second
and no one out It looked as If we
would at least tie, and perhaps win
the game light there. Cobb was at
bat-and If there is q better bunter
or faster man going to first want
to see him. Brown planned the play
all himself We fellows on the bench
knew exactly what was going to be
tried. 1t was million to one Cobb
was going to bunt toward third base.
He had been signalled to sacrifice,
but we knew he would try to puck it
down the third base line and beat it
out. Brown stopped the game and
consulted with Steinfeldt. He might
as well have told us what he was go
ing to do. He was intending to make
the play to third base and it looked
as II he was going to throw away the
game. Cobb laid down a perfect bunt
just side the third base line, just
the right distance and speed. Brown
couldn't have had a chance to catch
him at first, but as he pitched Brown
followed the ball, cut across to the
third base line, grabbed the ball on
the second bound and shot to third,
forcing O'Leary by ten feet. The
failure Of Cobb's great play upset US,
and minute later King snapped the
ball to second and caught the runner
of that base, Tinker playing the ball
perfectly and timing his arrival at
the base to the tenth Of a second;
and on a strike out as Cobb was try
ing to steal, King fired high over sec
ond, Evers leaped, grabbed the ball
with one hand and came down on top
of Cobb. The succession of wonder
fully executed plays was enough to
break the heart of any team, and the
fact that the Tigers kept fighting
clear to the end proved their game
ness, although it didn't win the game.
/ believe every player on the De-
troit team that night gave it to
Brown for making the greatest play
they ever saw, and 1t certainly was
the most wonderful / ever looked at.

John A. Fox, special director of the Ma

resignation to that body to become COM
missioner at large for the Panama-Cali-
fornia exposition at San Diego.
While Mr. Fox was unanimously re-
elected by the congress and was urged to
remain at an increased salary, he felt
that he could accomplish much for the
country in his new. position without de-
tracing from the great work already aC-
compliShed. He will remain with the
rivers and harbors congress until the first
of the year, and then formally sever his
connection with that great body to enter
upon his new work He is we'll known

having visited all parts of the country
during the last five years as the repre-
sentative OF the National Rivers and Har-
bOrs Congress.
The South feels cOmplimented that a
Southern man should have been selected
for this important position in connection
with the exposition. and inaSmuCh as the
Panama Canal will be especially bene-
fetal to the South, the exposition people
feel that they have made no mistake in
selecting him. Mr.. Fox is a native of
Louisiana, a graduate of Tulane Univer-
sity. and a member of the American So
