THE FOUR KINDS.

The four kinds or specimens of
vegetation that are brought as fes-
tai bouquet to the sanctuary on this
Feast of Tabernacles have always
symbolized to the Jew the variety of
Gods creation and the value that
God attaches to each creature, the
high and the lowly, the beautiful as
we'll as that which is devoid of
charm. The palm branch is placed
alongside of the myrtle and the will
low as an acceptable offering to God.
Gods world is of infinite variety.
That gives it it's charm Human So
ciety is similarly constituted. What
an infinite variety of human beings
and human character, each one
stamped with an individuality of his
own. Evidently God SO desires it.
Man has always striven to reduce
this variety to the greatest possible
uniformity. Religionists seek to con-
vert others to their form of worship

Think of our dear Mary Antin
touring the country with the Who
is-its, telling our bankers wives
what great friend of labor Hughes
is Mary, Mary, why SO contrary?
We thought that by this time she
would be sufficiently Americanized
to know the difference between the
progressive and the reactionary ele-
ments of this nation Or is it posi-
bic that Mary Antin does know the
difference, and yet enjoys the pub
licity the present junket is gaining
for her, and the tingling sensation
that hobnobbing with SO many rich
women is giving her? Perish the
thought!

and belief. States seek to stamp
out diversity of speech, race, creed,
and mode of life. The conventions
of society force upon all certain
uniformity of custom and manner.
The final result of it all must be the
loss of individuality.
Yet what is there more valuable
to the world than individuality? A
persons contribution to the sum to-
tai of human achievement, progress
and happiness will measure largely
in proportion to his individuality, his
peculiar talents, idiosyncrasies, bent
of mind and qualities of heart and
soul. Let the lesson of the -Four
Kinds not be lost on us.

and our hearts can pulsate with the
rhythm of their passionate souls.
We can hold converse with all the
great minds of the present, identify
ourselves with their thoughts, long
ings and aspirations. We can follow
the poet in his musings, the thinker
in his meditations, the prophet in his
impassioned outbursts of wrath and
indignation at the worlds wrongs,
and in his beautiful visions of bet
ter world and better humanity.
Nay, if our minds are but suhused
with enough sympathy, we can iden-
tify ourselves with every great
movement, every noble endeavor of
any section or group of the human
race. Such is the true life of the
mind Thus to live, is infinitely to
extend life.

THE JEWISH MINISTRY.

What is the matter with the Jew
ish ministry nowadays? Recently
several young rabbis, mostly gradu-
ates of the Jewish Theological Semi
nary of New York, studied law and
were admitted to the bar. But now
comes the most startling news of
this kind. Rabbi Moses Cries of
Cleveland, O., one of the oldest grad
yates of the Hebrew Union College
and a man who has been most sue
cessful in his sphere Of work, an
nounced on the eve of last New
Years his resignation from his pull
pit and his intention of leaving the
ministry altogether.
Rabbi Cries is, comparatively
speaking, still a young man. He has
been a leader among his colleagues
and a most successful worker in his
community. He has been president
of the Central Conference of Amer
lean Rabbis for two years and has
been at the head of one of the largest
and most prosperous and most inhu
ential congregations in the country.
And now after a service of twenty
five years in the rabbinate, he re-
solves to quit it. It is true, Rabbi
Cries has lately been in poor health,
and he may be in need of a rest
4
a rest now, instead of arranging to
have his resignation take effect next
June Has he, too, like others before
him, discovered that the Jewish min
istry nowadays requires too great
sacrifice on the part of it's members,
without the adequate reward of
achievement, not to speak of other
rewards.

ON HOW TO SEND FUNDS TO
RELATIVES IN WAR ZONE.
Petrograd, 29-11, August, 1916.
Mr.. Felix NJ. Warburg, Chairman,
Joint Distribution Committee,
New York.
Dear Sir:
AS we go on receiving monies
from various agencies to be trans
mitted to respective payees, and as
we often cannot forward the money
on account of the address being
lacking or incorrect, etc.-we here
with beg to enclose an advertisement
which we should thank you for pub
fishing in the Jewish papers of your
country.
Yours very truly,

Enclosure From The Jewish Coloni-
cation Association.
We have repeatedly informed all
those who applied to us from Amer
lea, that the best way of renting
money to relatives in Russia is
through the Joint Distribution
Committee" 81 William ST., N. Y.
However, large number Of re-
mitters still continue to forward to
us money for their relatives or
friends through other channels
(small banks, post-offces, etc.,.
These remittances very often give
the address of payee incorrectly or
incompletely, and the result is that
a large number of them do not reach
their destination.
We therefore once more draw the
attention of the American public to
the fact that the best way of sending
small amounts is through The Joint
Distribution Committee The re-
mitters may be sure that their mon
ey will reach the payees in full and
at the earliest date
However, should the remitters
prefer other channels for forwarding
us money, we request them at all
events, to observe the following in
structions:
1. Send us only drafts, enclosing
with them: (a) First name and
family name. (b) Address-the last
known to sender. (c) Sender's full
name and address.
2. Do not use Authorizations of the

NEWMAN ALSO COMES STRONG AND TIES ROMANS FOR THE LEADERSHIP-ANNIsTON DOES WELL

Annston, May 21.-(Special)-The fea- ture of the past week in the Georgia Alabama league has been the playing of the Talladega club, as Garrett's Tigers have won four out of five games played Talladega deserves a great deal of cred 1t for their playing, as that club was without a manager three weeks before the season started, but they have in Tige Garrett one of the best managers that has played in the Georgia Alabama league.
 The winning streak of Anniston has all so been a feature. The Holders are the only club in the league which has won two games in one series from Rome. An niston won one game and lost one this week to Griffin and won two and lost one to Rome. The local team has good wrecking crew in Clarke, Reynolds and Showers. The latter has secured six two base hits one single and a home run this week. In Stone, Russell, Morrison and Sigmon, Reynolds has about the best pitching staff in the league.
 Newman, by winning three games and losing two while Rome lost three games during the week, has tied the Romans for first place. The Rome team has led the league during the season, but is be- ing hard pushed by Newman and Talla- dega. In Flynn Newman has a whole ball club. In game this week against Rome, he stole six bases and a day has not passed this season that he has not either got a home run three-base hit or performed some Way out of the ordf-

TALLADEGA'S RUSH FEATURE
 OF THE WEEK IN THE GA. l..

nary. Rome has good manager in
 Matty Matthews, and a good pitching
 staff-Lowery and Whitely being among the best in the league.
 The Romans have won most of their
 games by excellent team work, as that
 club appears to be about the best organ
 ized of any other in the GA. L. Frank
 Manush, a former Atlanta infielder, is
 at the head of the club. In Shaw, Wiley
 and Pierre they have some good ball
 players The Rome club seems to be a little weak with the willow, but the men
 arc exceptionally fast and have succeed
 ed in scoring in every game played this season.
 The playing of Griffin has been a sur-
 prise to the fans of the league. as they were organized weeks before the season began and began their spring practice about month before the opening of the
 league, and it was expected that Began would get away under a good lead over the other clubs in the league but they seem to be weak in their pitching staff, and the other clubs have won nine games from them, while Griffin has succeeded in winning only six. However, in An derson, a lefthander, they have a good
 pitcher, and at times they show flashes Of surprising strength, as in Fridays
 game, when they defeated Talladega 15 to 3.
 LaGrange lost four games this week and won only one. This club has rood players in Waldron. who tried out with Mobile and Atlanta in the Southern league, and has starred in the GA. l.. for four years; in Wilson, Ginn and Po- land Bowen does not seem able to get the right results out of his material. Bugs Weston, thought to be one of best pitchers, was released. Thursday and was promptly signed by Rome. It Is hoped that the Georgia team will get together this week and get off the bottom and be- gin to win like the other second division teams.
 Among the good hitters in the GA. l..
 tnls season, Flynn of Newman, Waldron of LaGrange, Showers, Clark and Rev
 holds of Anniston, Kirk of Griffin, CIapp
 and smith of Talladega and Shaw of Reme have been the most noticeable.
