ton in 1866 of late Friday evening
services with lectures. It was an in
novatiOn which spread fast and has
become an integral part of American
Judaism. Remaining loyal to the ira
ditlonal Sabbath it gave opportunity
Tor Jewish worship and spread the
knowledge of Jewish affairs at
time when young men and women
could attend.
Ideals Ever Before Him.
But his ideals for American Juda-
ism were ever before him. He abided
ms time and in the end was success
full. The Union of American Hebrew
Congregations was established in Gin
cinnati in 1873, the Hebrew Union col
lege for the proper training of Amer
lean rabbis opened its doors in OctO-
Der 1875; the Conference of American
RabbiS was established in Detroit in
1889 His first prayer book, Min
bag America, became the most popular
prayerbOok Of the land but when the
rabbtnical conference adopted the
Union Prayer book he was the first
to recommend its adoption to his con-
gTegation.
Only the synod has not become a
reality. But this has been discussed
at the conference OF rabbis time and
again and many of US believe that due
to the changed conditions of life it
has no place in American Jewish life
though tradition warrants its adOp-
ton.
I have outlined the activities of
this foremost American Jew, I have
placed before you the debt Ameri-
can Judaism owes his memory. And
I feel this is an extremely inadequate
presentation of his life. It does not
take into consideration the human
factor, the beautiful life Of love, the
devotion to ideals, the continued &C
tivities in pulpit and the professors
for his pupils, how he wove them into
his life and gave them a love and
devotion for the faith he held dear
and which they were to teach Above
all it does not bring to your mind
the memories these words recall OF
the great man whose meekness,' to
use a taIumdic phrase was his great
ness" May his memory live on and
his activities find expression in the
deeds of his pupils,

In New York tentative plans have
been drawn for a home for girls Whose

select the display, I would gather together
some Of the products Of Christian literature
What a marvellous contribution Christianity
has made to the world through the religious
pressi Then I would gather up the rarest
work Of Christian art That would TOD
the nOn-Christian world OF anything IN that
line worth exhibiting. I would have a
Christian home, such as IS now lived by
many of our faithful common people Along
side of that Christian home I would set an
other family who had never heard Of Jesus
Christ, who knew nothing Of the kindly
ministry Of the mother wisdom Then I
would take a Christian institution Of learn
ing, a hospital and a thousand other pro-
ducts-Or rather,-children whose mother is
the gospel Of wisdom; and finally, would
set in a prominent place a man who had
been saved from life Of sin through this
glorious gospel Of wisdom and made
power for righteousness. We have many
such children born Of the mother OF wisdom.
Billy Sunday would ill the bill. Then over
them all I would fix great arch emblaz-
oued with these words: 1.-The mother Of
wisdom is justified by these, her children"
Who Are the Children Of Wisdom?
Finally let Us ask more specifically, who
are the children of wisdom2 They are those
who are born Of the spirit Of God. They
are the children Of God by faith in Christ.
They are the wise and good scattered
throughout the whole earth, and who have
down to the present You will find them
everywhere
They stand before kings. in the forum,
the senate and in all the walks OF life.
And what are they dOing2 They are work
ing for humanity and not for self They
are Waging a relentless warfare against all
forms Of sin, iniquity and oppression They
are increasing with every passing day, and
their united forces are being felt by the
powers of evil never before. They are
already landing a soIar-pIexus against the
kingdom Of iniquity, whose throne is tot
tering ready to fall shaken by the mighty
tread Of this united host, whose mother is
wisdom. whose weapon is righteousness,
whose object is peace and joy through the
Holy Spirit.
They are bringing in the kingdom OF God
amongst men; and their motto is the
chorus OF the angels, GLORY to God in the
highest; and on earth peace and good will
to men" Their battle hymn is:
''The kingdom is coming,
o tell ye the story
Gods banner exalted shall be;
The earth shall be filled
With his knowledge and glory
As waters that cover the sea-"

them who favor revivalist methods, into
two opposing factions These factions
are facing each other in a dozen cities
at the moment, where Sunday advance
agents are at work creating a public
opinion that may result in future Sun
day engagements.
Against Sunday two cOmaDnies Of
leaders are Joined. One company Op-
poses the man because OF alleged VuI-
garity- Foremost among these is the
veteran Washington GLADDEN., the Con-
gregationaIist. The attacks which Sun
day makes upon the churches are not
resented, so far as can be discovered
They are held to be professional, to
help on Sunday plans, and it is known
that they are the same that have been
hurled at the churches for so years at
least
Sunday reports engagements tenta-
lively made three years in advance. but
committees in Baltimore where an IN

Isaac NJ Wise was born at Stein

died in Cincinnati, March ,26, 1900. His
early years were years Of struggle

vail, and that 100000 men are idle.

not to mention crippled men, and de-
stroyed properties To call this g civ

facts, lis an insult to the name OF

The plan of the congress is not one
of protest, not one to register the views
OF Christians on war; but TO get down
to exact methods by which the 1nflu-
ence Of churches OF Europe ana Amer
lea can be brought to bear directly
upon government officials to cause
them to put an end to present cOnd1-

publish literature that will cause the
peoples of all nations to rise and de-
clare that not only must war cease, but
that these vast expenditures OF money
and men stop. The congress is to be al

MAY REFER AFRICAN DISPUTE
TO THE CONSULTATIVE BODY
EpiSCOpalians in this country are
keenly interested in the decision Of the
archbishop Of Canterbury to refer the
Kkuyu controversy to the conSulta-
: tive body of the Anglican communion.
This is so because of the very close
relations between Episcopalians and the
church of England. The famous con-
trOveTsy has not vitality affected the
corresponding body here. For some
reason fights Of the bitterest kinds can
go on in England, and never cross the
Atlantic ocean. Episcopal leaders here
fear some may do so, but the Kikuyu
controversy has been like all that pre-
coded tit has stayed at home.
The bishops of MOmbasa and Uganda,
in Africa. celebrated the Lords sup
per in a Presbyterian church. and ad
mitted Christians not Anglicans to it.
The bishop of Zanzibar, a High church
missionary, reported the incident. and
all England was aflame. Now arch
bishop Davidson, of Canterbury, asks
the judgment of the consultative body
whether the acts Of MOmbasa ana
Uganda cOntravened or not the funda-
mental principles of the Anglican COM
munion. It is TenOrted that most Amer

A Question of Economy

A question in connection with the
silo proposition is the saving of valu.
able feed stuff that would otherwise be
wasted. THERE'S probably enough for.
age grown on the land in this section to
feed all the cattle through the winter
season if it were saved and not allowed
to waste. This waste is most notice.
able in corn. tits estimated that over
eighty per cent of 1.-THE stalk and leaves
are wasted. If these were converted
into silage the entire product would be
utilized. Upon our Southern farms it
is said under our method of gathering
corn by slip shocking in the field we
lose above forty per cent of the feeding
value of the corn crop all of which
could be saved and use by adopting the
Silo.
