FROM REV. f.. A. THOMPSON.
Holds Successful Meeting i'm FIorida,
and Texas

To the Editor of The News:
After two very successful meetings
in South Florida, where we had quite
a good number of additions in the
three leading churches of the towns
in which we held cur meetings, we
are again in the grea, state of Texas.
and began our other meetings LAST
night with the Central Avenue Bap-
tist church. With the continued
blessing of the Lord we are expecting
great things to be accomplished.
We found the state of Florida in a
very spiritual condition. Everybody
seem very optimistic, and no one
seem discouraged on account of the
destructive war.
We anticipate going to our field of
labor in New Mexico after the 18th
of this month. from which place we
will write The News from time to
time. Respectfully,

SAYS OUR HOLIDAYS
ARE DECENERATINC
Rabbi Cries Deplores Growing
Custom of Merrymaking, In.
stead of Thinking.

Rabbi VI. J. Cries, president of the
Central Conference of American Rab-
bis, speaking before the Free Syna-
gogue at Carnegie Hall yesterday
morning, deplored the degeneration of
the American holidays. He spoke on
Lincoln and Washington" and pointed
out that their birthdays should be re-
membered, not for the celebration OF
the days, but for the powerful messages
they bring.
unfortunately" Rabbi Cries said,
call the holidays on the American ma
tional calendar have been transformed
by the worldly spirit Of our generation
to public holidays. The day of the
Declaration of independence and our
national Day of Memorial are not con-
secrated as days of noble thought Of
country and of national uplift. but are
descrated by almost universal merry
making and feasting, pleasure-seeking
and sport"
The speaker compared Lincoln, born
10 poverty and disadvantage, with
Washington, born TO privilege, advan-
tage and fortune. Both OF them, ne
said. were great Americans.
what a lesson the public men OF
our own time might learn from the NE
and memory of Washington. Both he
and lincoln were lovers Of their coun-
try; both lovers of mankind, honorable
in their public life and clean in their
personal life, the two greatest OF
Americans among the greatest in al!
the world"
