an Interested hearing by large audi

the IL o'clock service in the morning

Rabbi Goldman is himself Russian
Jew and knows the land of the Cars
like book, the result of observation
and experience, as well as of keen,
intelligent study. His discourses
were patriotic and Illuminating and
were listened to with the utmost at
tention. The lecture on "Zionism"
was peculiarly fitting at this time in
view of the military successes of the
British army in Mesopotamia under
Gen. Allenby and the capture of Jeru-
salem from the Turks. He spoke
of events in that part of the world as
they related to Bible prophecy. and
said that Jews from all quarters of
the earth would return to Palestine,
the inheritance of their forefa:ners,
to live under the protecting aegis OF
the British and American flags. Rabbi
Goldman asserted that the Jews had
no desire to re-establish a government
in Palestine. but desired to live there
under the administration of friendly
people.
At the Y. N. c. A. he described to
gathering of men that filed the gym
i.aiiun the tyranny and despotism Of
the imperial government of Russia un-
der the late Gar Nicholas. particr-
larly as 1t applied to the persecution
of the Jews. He also told how Ger
man espionage and propaganda in
spired by the Kaiser and the military
authorities in Berlin had debauched
he Russian people and brought upon
them the unutterable misery and suf.
fering of the Bolsheviki as carried on
by such men as Lenine and Trotsky.
German agents and propagandist OF
the lowest type.
Rabbi Goldman declared without
reservation that the Jewish rfassacres
in Russia and the Armenian loutrages
in Asia Minor were carrief out at
the suggestion OF the Kaiser and were
preliminary towards the realization
OF his ambition for world dominion.
The Kaiser. said Rabbi Goldman. told
the Car that the Jews OF Russia
were preparing to overthrow his gov
ernment and that the best way to pre-
vent 1t would be to order a general
massacre OF them. Acting on this in
formation the Gar intimated to the
enemies of the Jews In Russia that
such a course would be agreeable to
him. AS a result hundreds of thou
sands of Jews In Southern Russia
were slaughtered in cold blood. The
Kaiser made a similar suggestion to
the Sultan of Turkey in relation to
the Armenians and a similar reign OF
murder, rapine and destruction was
secretly instituted there under govern
mental auspices. Millions of inno-
cent people were killed in Russia and
other millions in Armenia. all OF them
at the instance Of the Kaiser. The
day of reckoning and retribution Is
coming for the Kaiser and his ad-
visers. said Rabbi Goldman. and the
Russian people will have a hand in
melting out punishment to them.
The Russian people are all right at
heart. declared Rabbi Goldman. and
will come back as an ally of England,
France. America and italy in lighting
the Huns. The Russians as nation,
he asserted, were intensely hostile to
Germany. and were only waiting for
the destruction of the Bolsheviki to
re-allign themselves with the Allies in
the warfare on the Central empires.
The day of their triumph. with Amer
ican assistance, he said. was coming
as surely as daylight follows dark
ness. and he predicted that it would
not be delayed longer than next year.
The Russians, continued Rabbi Gold
man. love the Americans and will
heartily cooperate with them In the
destruction of their enemies.
He said the reason of the debacIe,
OF retirement of the Russians from the
