JEWISH LITERARY
SOCIETY
SIMPLICITY OF LIFE is REAL
BASIS OF CULTURE.

The Jewish Literary Society held
its eighth public meeting at the Mon
tefiore Hall Wednesday evening and
the attendance was larger than at any
other similar gathering. The guest
of the evening was Rabbi Henry
Cohen of Galveston. Following mu-
steal and literary program Dr. Cohen
made, in part, the following talk upon
Culture.
We have here tonight representa-
tiyes from both of the Jewish congre-
cations of this city; people united in
one idea and effort from which fruit
ton is bound to follow. In union
and cooperation there is always
strength, Many fibers of hemp are
required to make strong rope-one
fiber will support but little weight.
The fact that you are here is very
pleasing and gratifying to me, for in
true culture the process of develop
nent rests upon the selection of the
best of everything and the uniting of
these better things Just as you two
congregations have worked harmoni-
sously in the building up of your lit
erary society.
am very much of the opinion
that simplicity of life is the real
basis Of culture. ! know it is not a
thing Of mannerisms. Culture does
not consist Of outward manners, and
one is not to be considered cultured
who follows set styles and fashions
and baneful habits.
Culture, if | may generalize, is do
ing chat which will help your neigh
Dor and the accomplishment of good
deeds and the creation of good in
situations that will be Of help to flu
ture generations.

would only go and commune, in some
quiet chamber, with one of the great
men who have contributed to the
wealth Of literature and knowledge,
by reading one of their books, they
would find that their evening had
been spent most profitably and that
they were bigger men and women for
the time SO well employed.
Because you do not know how to
play bridge whist or are not an
adept at the superficiallties sof A

lack culture. For culture is of the

STATE PROHpS
MEET Soon
NAY ATTEMPT TO MAKE Wt1lS
KEY SELLING A FELONY IN
STATE.

Jackson, Miss. Dec. 22.-At the
state Prohibition convention to be
held in Jackson on the first day Of
January it win be definitely dcterm-
ined whether a fight will be made at
the approaching session of the legl:.-
lature to make the penalty for Illicit
liquor selling a felony, instead of
misdemeanor
Representative Prohibitionlsts from
all parts of the state, voicing the SEN
timents of the various church organ
izations, the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and other bodies en-
gagged in the fight for temperance, will
be present at the meeting.
Practically all of thc Protestant
churches, especially the Methodists
and Baptists. have given unequivocal
endorsement to the slogan of the Anti
Saloon League, Make 'Whiskey-Sel
ling Felony" and it is generally be-
lieved that the convention on New
Years Day will thus declare itself and
urge the legislature to enact stat.
ute Of that character.
A recommendation will also be sub.
mitted to the lawmakers for a stat
ute providing for scientific temperance
instructions in the public schools.
Owing to the fact that a majority
of the members in both branches Of
the lawmaking body are new men.
without previous legislative exper-
ience, it is impossible to forecast what
action will be taken on the first-named
measure.
The Anti-Saloon League is backing
the movement to impose the felony
penalty, and an effort will be made
at the convention on January 1st to
secure the unqualified endorsement
of the work Of that organization.
