IN CONCRETE TOMB
Body of Esq. S. H. Myers Has
Been Permanently Placed.

The body Of Esq. S. H. Myers, of
Kelly. was disinterred Saturday and
placed in concrete mallsoleum on
his place constructed by the Meach-
am Contracting Co, of this city.
Some time last summer Esq. Myers
arranged with the above named
company to build the mallsoleum at
some future time before the end of
the year. At that time Esq. Myers
was in good health. but he died very
suddenly several weeks ago and his
body had to be buried temporarily
until the tomb could be prepared.
This was done recently and the
mallsoleum as completed is an endur-
ing piece of concrete work large
enough to hold the body of Esq.
Myers and that of his wife. His
body was placed in the compartment
intended for it and all of the open
ings sealed Saturday.

the Spirit of American Judaism" His
address in part follows:
1.-The spirit Of American Judaism first
asserted itself when Stuyvesant. the
governor Of New Amsterdam, would
not permit the few Jews who had emf
grated from Portugal, to unite with
the other burghers in standing guard
for the protection Of their homes.
When the tax collector came to Asser
Levy to collect a. tax on this account,
he asked if that tax was imposed on
all the residents of New Amsterdam.
No was the reply. Tt is only imposed
upon the Jews because they do not
stand guard have not asked to be
exempted replied Asser Levy; I am
not only willing. but I demand the
right to stand guard
That right the Jews have asserted and
exercised as officers and in the ranks
of the Continental army and in every
crisis of our national history from that
time until the present day. The Amer
lean spirit and the spirit of American
Judaism were both nurtured in the
same cradle of liberty, and united to-
gether In origin, in ideals, and in his
torical development. The closing chap
ter of the chronicles OF the Jews on
the Iberian peninsula forms the open
ing chapter of their history on this
continent. 1t was Luis Santangel, the
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-01-19

MISSION OF REFORM
JUDAISM OUTLINED.
Schiff Says It Is to Remem-
Der the Past and Build
for the Future

New York, N Y, Jan. 19.-At the
dinner to delegates to the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations, ia
cob II. Schiff. the POSTMASTER, spoke
in part as follows:
ct is a very great honor indeed
to have been called upon to preside
over this gathering, and much of
pleasure and satisfaction to welcome
you to this festive board.
"As American Jews, fervently loving
the Stars and Stripes and attached to
everything the flag of our country
stands for. but none the less proud of
the faith in which we have been born,
you have willingly come, some from
distant homes, to join in the council
just being held here for furthering the
cause of Judaism within this great and
glorious country of ours. Even If we
are progressive in the construction
Of the doctrines of our faith. we never
theless mean to uphold it for its worth.
not only to ourselves, but alike to
mankind, to which it continues to be
the missionary of the gospel of the
Unity of God and Of the brotherhood of
man until the time shall have arrived
which alas, yet appears far distant,
when every temple erected to the Most
High shall indeed become a house Of
prayer for all nations. The mission
OF reform of Judaism is not to diScOrd,
but to reconstruct. not to forget a glo-
rious past, but 10 create the basic con
ditiops for an assured future, so that
our posterity may remain within our
faith, as proud of it as our ancestors
were ready to bring every conceivable
sacrifice to maintain and perpetuate it.
Reform in Judaism started the day
after the law was proclaimed on ST
nai's heights, but the never changing
essence of our religion remains for
all times. It's forms may change and
adapt themselves TO the demands OF
varying conditions and surroundings;
what Judaism has ever stood for and
continues to proclaim, the Unity of God
and the right of every human being to
approach his Creator without any in
termediary. is adhered to by reform
Judaism as firmly as in the most rigid
orthodoxy
Not for moment do I want to cast
the slightest aspersion upon those who
for the time being, probably constitute
the hrge majority of our coreligion-
lists N this country. and who still
cling to the orthodoxy they have
brought from their distant native
lands. but I maintain that. if we want
