JERSEY CITY "NEAR DRY"
Bibulous Strangers Pant, but
Initiated Pass Portals.

II was a "dry" Sunday In Jersey CITY
yesterday-for strangers-but far from
Sahara for regular patrons and friends
who were vouched for as not being plain
clothes men or sleuths of the Anti-Saloon
League. The word had gone forth that
the Sunday Observance League and the
other prohibition associations would make
a united effort to obtain evidence through
corps Of agents.
A few saloons actually closed. Many.
however, had their bartenders on duty on
the inside. while the owners remained on
the outside. unlocking the door to trusted
acquaintance.
The can trade" was practically sus-
pended. as officers were on guard near
all places. Few. II any, Of the sleuths
were able to obtain admittance to the
saloons, and at late hour no arrests had
been made for violation OF the excise law.
1t is probable that the guard Will be
maintained by the saloon men every Sun
day, not only TO avoid detection by the
Sunday Observance agents. but to avoid
going before the city commissioners on
charges. for licenses OF several saloon
keepers have beer forfeited recently

GIVE BOAT TO MISSIONARY
st. Thomas's Church Members
Reward the Rev. H. Stuck.

The Rev. Hudson Stuck, the Alaska
missionary. received a motor boat yester-
day from members OF St Thomas's
Church, Fifth avenue and 53d street. The
missionary. in telling Of his work. said
the greatest dificulties OF the mission
aries In Alaska were not due to the cold
weather, the loneliness and the ignorance
or the natives, but to the whites, who
sell tho Alaskans whiskey and steal from
them. 1T is pitiful TO be compelled to
teach savage people not to despise the
whites" observed Mr.. Stuck.
Some time ago, according TO the mis-
sionary, three young men were brought
from Alaska to Massachusetts TO be
taught mechanical, Industrial and agri-
cultural arts They are about ready to
return and set up a training school on
the Episcopal mission lands.
THE soil OF Alaska has never been
cultivated" Mr.. Stuck said, "and yet
much Of 1t will raise excellent crops.
The whole Yukon Valley Is left TO the
Anglican Church as a mission field. II is
too large. and the work is wholly be-
yond the ability OF a few men to perform.
The death rate among the natives is
larger than the birth rate"
The missionary intimated that Alaska
was being prepared for a great change.
He asked the st. Thomas congregation,
which gives large sums to missions, not
to base It's gifts on numbers. for IL 1t did
IL would send all Of its money to China.

JUDEA HOSTILE TO JEWS
Rabbi Wise, in Address, Says
He Found Unfriendliness.

Rabbi Stephen s. Wise. delivering his
second address on observations in the
Holy Land In the Free Synagogue. at
Carnegie Hall yesterday morning, said
that the most striking feature OF the
birthplace OF Christ is that Jews are
scorned there. He said that he and his
companions were greeted In unsympa-
thetic and unfriendly fashion by the Greek
priest in the Church of the Nativity,
where the manger had been.
Making an appeal for the care Of the
Jews I'm Jerusalem. DR.. Wise said
III the only brides that be offered the
sick and poor and broken Jews In Jerusa-
lem be hospital beds and classroom facil-
ties, shall we not be equally ready to
offer the indispensable things which we
have no right TO withhold? Give to the
Jewish sick adequate hospital beds and
nursing care. and build and throw open
schools for the Jewish children In Jerusa-
lem, and II will not be necessary even to
think Of neutralizing missionary effort
among the people fundamentally loyal and
ever ioath TO leave the heritage Of their
fathers"

Able Administrators.

New Yorks churches continued 10
gather in harvest of bishops until an
advanced hour last evening. Manhattan
got little more than her share, perhaps,
but The Bronx, Brooklyn and the other
boroughs did not fare badly. and the out
lying towns and villages in the dioceses

thing of the unusual supply. With 113

morning, afternoon and evening.
Bishop William Lawrence, Of Massa-
chusetts. TO whom fell the honor Of preach
ing the sermon in the Cathedral of St
John the Divine at the opening service
of the convention. preached yesterday in
the new Chapel Of the Intercession. at
155th street and Broadway. The re-
nowned beauty OF this house of worship,
with the countrywide reputation Of
Bishop Lawrence, combined to crowd the
chapel almost beyond It's capacity.
The Bishop rewarded his hearers with
a sermon simple and optimistic. He did
not want, he said. to reproach any one
for proper zeal, but he thought IL often
happened that man became overzealous
and therefore lost sight of things which
a habit of serenity would help him TO
keep in mind. He developed his idea from
the story Of Moses.
No Lack Of Leaders.
I'VE must not show lack of faith in
the Almighty" said Bishop Lawrence,
"just because we come face TO face with
our own inability to perform something
we have taken the lead in. as Moses
undertook TO lead the Israelites 10 Canaan.
When Moses could do no more. and all
seemed lost God sent his pillar Of fire
TO point the way. And when the Red
Sea blocked the way and Pharaohs hosts
were close behind God swept the waters
aside.
You men and women who undertake
a leadership against an evil in this world,
when you find that you can do nothing
more. don't show your lack OF trust in
Him by fretting and losing yourselves in
your disappointment Remember that this
is Gods world and in the end he is 60
ing to make il a righteous world, and
that there are evils that neither this gen.
Grafton nor the next, nor many gener-
atoms afterward. will cure. Leave it to
God"

the Journey. Moses had been taken up TO
the top Of Mount Pisgah and shown the
promised land. spread In beautiful piano.
rama at his feet.
But Moses was not TO be the first Of
the Israelites TO enter that wonderful
land" said Bishop Lawrence, "even
though he was the leader. He fell asleep
on Mount Pisgah. the Bible tells us. and
others led the happy band across the
boundary. And there is a lesson therein
also.

voted your lives 10 leadership, and who
