from the Presbyterian church. Mrs.
Slocum read a paper about the Par
sonage Home, which was enjoyed by
all. Supt. Rosenberg spoke upon
the subject, why we build Parson-
ages" and Pres. Seaman gave US an
interesting message, The Wesleyan
and the Parsonage. (" After the pro-
gram Saturday evening adjourn
ment was made for an inspection of
the new house, where refreshments
were served in splendid fashion by
the social committee.
Sabbath morning Pres. Seaman
preached and proceeded to raise the
money which would be necessary for
finishing the Parsonage free from
debt. We had a great time. and
everybody was happy and responded

ership of DIR. Seaman in just a few
moments $500. was subscribed, this
being enough to carry US through.

Hans Hanson. Z played to a good
sized house here yesterday evening.
There was a good deal of comedy in
the play and the orchestra music be-
tween acts was splendid. AS whole
we believe the performance was very
we'll received. One actor in parti-
cular commanded the admiration of
all, and that was Baby Lorraine who
took her part all through the play in
the best possible manner.

The Lecture Course

The second number on the Hurley
Lyceum Course at the Star Theater
last Tuesday evening was not so well
attended as could have been desired,
possibly on account of the short
time twas advertised and because
of the numerous other attractions
which have taken place here re-
Gently.
However, those who attended were
indeed fortunate for the presenta
tion Of the play. Peg % My Heart !,
by Lucille Adams. interpreter. was
very good. The play itself is excel
lent and Miss Adams Interpretation
was pleasing.
The next number on the course
will be the lecture by Smith Damron
on the art of making pottery. This
interesting and instructive number
is dated for Dec, I, at the Star
Theater

THE JEWS IN THE 1BERIAN PENINSULA
By DR.. S. N. Deinard


in COrdOVa in 1885. His father was
himself learned talmudist and de-
voice of science and could trace his
descent back through long line of
scholars. He was Moses first teach
er. When Moses was thirteen years
old the family of Nahum had to
leave Cordova owing to the fanatic
prosecutions instituted by the ruling
Almohades against all unbelievers,
to whom the only choice given was
Islam, exile, or death. Nahum re-
moved with his family to Fee, Mo-
rocco, only to encounter there, too,
the savage bigotry of the same Nit
hammedan sect that had it's seat OF
power there. For time he and his
family like all the Jews of that land
had to put on the grise of processing
Moslems, believers in the prophet
Muhammed. Yet at the risk OF
his life Maimonides would, when
ever the opportunity offered itself,
urge his brethren to remain true to
their faith, and wait for happier
day. AS consequence his position
becoming insecure, he with his fam
lily left Fee, and emigrated to Pales-
tine, whence after a brief sojourn,
they moved to Egypt, and settled in
Fostat, old Cairo.
Egypt was then ruled by the en-
lightened and tolerant Saladin, and
the political and material condition
of the Jews under his reign was as
favorable as it had ever been under
the sway of enlightened Muhamme-
dan rules. At first Mailnonides
passed through many vicissitudes,
and for many years fortune refused
to smile upon him. But his mind
was constantly engrossed with his
studies, and his time so fully occu-
pied with benehcent work for his
brethren and his fellow men that he
cared neither for fortunes favors
nor for her frowns. Like many other
learned men Of his time both among
Jews and Muhammedans, he made
the practice Of medicine his bread
winning occupation, and SO great
was his knowledge in that field, and
so skilled was he in the art of heal
ing, that he was appointed as physi-
clan in ordinary at the court of Sala-
din, and was offered the same posi-
ton by Richard Occur de Lion,
which offer however, he declined
His home was fairly besieged by
people from all ranks who came for
medical advice and treatment.
