day morning at the Temple Emanu-El, the
Rev DR.. Joseph Silverman declared that
i'm the controversy between Russia and
America over the passports Of jewish

Of the United States would be identical
with cowardice."

ton will be taken" said DR. Silverman'
that will express to Russia tie demand
of our government either for the absolute
enforcement of the treaty of 1892 or its i'm
mediate abrogation and the enactment OF
another treaty that shall more emphatic al
ly than the present Cne secure equal rights
TO all Americans.
Resentment against this insult is not
merely a Jewish matter. 1t is an insult
TO the whole American nation, and the ma
] tion will rise up in protest and rebellion
against such an insult. If America ac
cuiesces in Russian discrimination agans
her Jewish citizens she becomes an ally
Of Russian religious inquisition and be

NEW DIVISION OF MANKIND
Lionlike (Roosevelt), Oxlike,
Manlike and Eaglelike.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Boston, Dec. 17.-ln series of sermons
to be published under the generic title Of
The Four Faces" the Rev. Z. ;. Henson,
former pastor of fremont Temple, mas di-
vided the physiognomy of mankind into
four classes, or types.
These types comprise the lonlike, the
oXlike, the manlike and the eaglelike. In
choosing examples of each DR.. Henson
likens Theodore Roosevelt to the lionlike.
John d. Rockefeller and Abraham Lincoln
to the manlike, and George Washington
and Thomas jefferson to the oxlke.
Dr. Henson takes his text from Ezekiel l.
10. which speaks of Ezekiel's vision of the
four faces of the eyangels.
The men who i'm the past have subdued
Kingdoms wrought righteousness and op-
tanned promises who out Of weakness were
made strong, waxed valiant i'm fight and
turned TO flight the armies of aliens, were
men Of the lion type" declares Or. Henson
Gideon, Daniel, Paul, Knox, Luther Crom-
we'll and Roosevelt are the lion type. And
these are the men who are wanted to-day.
The manlike type" Dr. Henson says
is the hope of humanity the world over
"Of the problems confronting us, he says
the solution will not be reached by the
coldly intellectual processes of education
nor by the hard compulsion of legislation
= but by the manifestation of that charity
which belongs TO the man type, to Lincoln
Queen Victoria, William Wilberforce and
! Rockefeller.
The country needs more men like Rookie
