New York, January 22.-(special.)-
 Rabbi Albert Moses of Mobile, Ala. who vas one of the prominent delegates to the great Hebrew convention in this city this
 week, is encouraged over the work of the convention He said today
 "The New York meeting may be con
 sidered epoch making. It brought the greatest leaders of reformed Judaism in
 touch with the leaders of the vast Jew ish population of New York city. The addresses were broad instructive and en-
 tertainlng. This is especially true of the address by Secretary Nagel on immigra- ton problems. He showed broad minded attitude toward the immigrant Jews. "The great principal result of the con vention was in making permanent the plans for new buildings, and for work of the Hebrew college at Cincinnati. This
 institution is in charge of the union, and IS for the training of teachers of re-
 formed Judaism.
 Because of it's vast Jewish population the students of Jewish affairs find New
 York a great field for investigations New
 York has larger Jewish population than Jerusalem ever had. I find that the New
 York Jews are working out their prob lsms manfully. Nowhere can be found grander institutions for the uplift of hu- manty. There are still great opportuni- Judaism in New York.
 While l have been impressed with the splendid work of New York, still 1 have not found the great city so bewildering.
 T expect to return with deeper de-
 votion and stronger sentiment of love for
 the south than I ever had. So far as
 material things are concerned, our civil ization is perhaps not so far advanced as that of the east, but in morality, culture, civilty and the higher things of life we're far superior that there is no compa rison. Commercialism and busi-
 ness absorb nearly all the energy of the | average New Yorker. After business his
 time is given every largely to idle pleas ure
 There Is in New York a lack of that possible touch which makes life so well
 worth living, and which does so much to eradicate race and social prejudice in the south and west"
 Dr. Moses was on the nominating com
 mttee and took an active part in the proceedings of the convention. He has been much in demand as a speaker while in New York. He spoke Saturday night
 at the Temple in Newark. N. J., to one of the largest audiences which has gath cred in the temple for many years. He preached Saturday morning in Temple Apawath church. of which his uncle the l Rev. Dr. Isaac S. Moses, is the minis 1 ter Saturday afternoon he delivered an
 address to. the children at the Educa- 1 tional alliance. pr. Moses will stop over l in Washington on his way home as q
 guest Of Congressman Taylor
 l Asked for an expression as to the out | look for the repeal of the statewide pro- | hibition law in Alabama by the newly elected legislature. pr. Moses said: My views in regard to the prohibition laws are too well known to make state-
 msnt from me worth while. I am con- vinced that at the hands of our great gov ernor Emmet O'Neal, and the splendid legislature now in session at Montgom- cry, that the prohibition question will re- ceive proper attention. and a wise solu- tion will be accomplished.
