Jew and Gentle
Join i'm Plea for
Greater Unity
Rabbi Wise and the Rev
DR.. Holmes Exchange
Pulpits

The Rev. DR.. John Haynes Holmes,
pastor of tho Church of the Messiah,
Unitarian, exchanged pulpits with rab-
bi Stephen S. Wise yesterday and told
the mepbers of the Free Synagogue
that orthodox Christian theology was
based on "a monstrous superstition"
Speaking of Christ, the minister
said: "He was a universal prophet.
The converted Jew, Paul, developed the
idea of exclusivencss, because Of his
great pride of race, and invented tho
monstrous superstition that Jesus was
the divine Son of God"
DR.. Holmes and Rabbi Wise in his
sermon before the congregation Of the
Church of the Messiah, both attacked
the "eXclusivencss" Of Jews and Gen
tiles.
II hate orthodoxy as I hate hell"
DR.. Holmes told tho Jewish congrega-
ton he addressed. Rabbi Wise is
nearer to me in the things that count
than are 500 out of every thousand
Christian minister's"
DR.. Holmes dwelt upon the antagon-
ism between Christians and Jews, term
ing it "the deaths head" and "the
scourge of humanity"
N"o ~ lhe supreme Tragedies OIL
human history" he said, "was when
the rift between the Jew and the
Christian widened and became so deep
that the Jew hated the Christian and
the Christian hated the Jew, and each
began to persecute the other"
He condemned the Jewish idea that
they are "the chosen people, because,
he said, it taught eXclusiveness.
"Your forefathcrs," he continued,
"were guilty Of one of the supreme
sins of humanity, the sin Of exclusive
ness, which made them believe that
they were better and higher than other
Of the Nazarene. We Christians don't
talk so much about being the chosen
people, but believe that we are the
same thing.
Liberal Judaism is revolt against
orthodox Judaism. Liberal Christianity
! is revolt against Christian ortho-
doXy. Both know that the world can
not be saved until the Jewish and
Christian orthodoxy are rooted out
root and branch.
"The old Christian theology is the
dreadful theology Of lost world"
DR.. Holmes pronounced his belief in
cone God and universal Father. All
men," he said, "arc children Of uni
Versal spirit in one great household
The end of the war, Dr.. Wise pre-
dicted in his sermon at the Church of
the Messiah, will see the end
of all Christian prejudice against the
Jew. He insisted, however, that the
Jew should not blend in with the other
races of the world, but should always
stand apart.
"For the Jew to merge himself away
with the peoples of the world is q
thing impossble.' he said "1he great
est wrong that Jewish people could in
fiict upon the world to-day would be to
surrender and efrace themselves. The
Jew reaches his highest and best who
is most a Jew
Ii races are to live together in unity
and happiness, DR.. Wise said, they
must be unified but not made uniform
You can render no greater service
for America" he concluded, "than By
insisting upon your liberalism and al
it means. We OF the House of Israe
can render the same service"
Rabbi Wise characterized DR.
Holmes as "a man who stands out a.

Drive to Raise
$1,75O,Ooo Fund

The Young Women's Christian As
sociation opened its New York CAM
paign for sl,75O,o00 yesterday at the
Hippodrome with a mass meeting that
was unique-not one speaker used
"Do Your Bit" "Over There" "Some-
where in France" or "Oyer the Top"
DR.. Harry Emerson Fosdick. OF
Union Theological Seminary. presided,
and addresses were made by Robert
Davis. Of the American Red Cross, and
William Fellowes Morgan. president
of the Metropolitan Young Mems
Christian Association. Harry Barn
hart, four infantry bands from Camp
Upton and Miss Margaret Romaine, of
the Chicago Opera Company, supplied
the music.
"The relation between womanhood
and war has always been a direct
one," said Mr.. Fosdick, ''and some of
the most stirring chapters Of the
wars history are those in which are
recorded the part women have played.
The Y. w. c. A. is nos begging for
money; it is challenging New York to
have share in helping women to do
their war-work."
Mr.. Davis made a plea for the wom
en- in munition centres Of France.
"If the Y. W. c. A. means to go
abroad and put those women in decent
houses, where they can get their
proper perspective of life once more.
"a RI
it!' And if the Y. W. c. A. means to
take care of the girls back here whose
husbands and sweethearts have gone
to fight, we say God bless you For
those fellows are worried about their
girls, and. if they can depend on you,
it means Just that much more energy
released for fighting"
Mr.. Morgan read letter of appre
citation of the Y. W. c. A. work from
President Wilson. The letter read:
"My dear Mrs. Cushman: May 1 not
express to you the admiration which
/ ], in common with the great body of
the the work of the Young Women's
| Christian Association.
"It has responded in this time of
need in the most admirable way to
the claims upon its patriotic services,
and wish to give myself the pleasure
Of expressing my appreciation and the
high value which put upon its work.
Sincerely yours.
WOODROW WILSON" .

thing to not initiating Debussy is to
initiate him we'll. This Emerson Whit
horne, born in Cleveland and resident
there, but educated under Fuchs in
Vienna, has done in his little orches-
trail piece, "The Rain" which was
played by the Philharmonic at it's con-
cert yesterday afternoon in Carnegie
Hall. The rain falls with much dis
elimination in this piece, and the in
struments are used lightly and with
sure effect in producing their agree
able pecture. Now and then, as if to
suggest the mood Of people who are
ralned upon, sorrowful melody enters
in the strings and makes every one
little depressed until the composer en-
ters, as composers will, and bows his
acknowledgment Of the gracious ap-
plause.
Instead Of the other new pieces
promised, those by George F. Boyle,
Mr.. Stransky played Debussy's "Rondes
de Printemps," and played it with nice
though without as much rhythmic
sprightliness as one could have wished.
Mr.: Graveure sang two arias in full
and rich voice, and the programme
closed with the now familiar Rachman-
inof Second Symphony.
The musicians of the orchestra were
altogether admirable The strings
played truly and eloquently; the wood
winds were soft and rich. The en-
sembIe was generally free from what
may be called the muddy interior"
which has sometimes married the per-
Torrance at these concerts Mr.. Viii
lard, the retiring president of the Phil
harmonic, is justified in his confidence
in the organization. Whatever the oc-
casion of the to-do that was made
about it last season, one cannot doubt
that when kept up to the mark these
musicians form one of the two or three
best orchestras in the country.

Pauper's s15o,o0o
Will Gets New Test

The Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court has reversed the decision
Of Surrogate Fowler admitting the will
of Mrs. Susie Warner Wolfe to pro-
bate. and has ordered that the contest
brought by half-brother and half
sister of the unfortunate woman be
tried.
Mrs. Wolfe died q pauper in Belle
vue. Later, through the will Of her
aunt, her estate received $150.000. The
contested will leaves most of the prop
crty owned by Mrs. Wolfe to Thomas
p. Illingworth, whoeposed as her hus-
band. If the instrument is declared
valid in the coming trial he will re-
ceive about S125,0oO.
The contestants Of the will are Mrs.
George B. Wentz. of 335 West End
Avenue. and Albert B. Nichols, of
Hampstead, L. I. When the will was
brought before Surrogate Fowler for
probate their lawyer, James H. Hickey,
quit the case, and the counsel which
have sufficient time to prepare his
case. On these grounds the Appellate
Division orders that the contest be
retired.
Mrs. Wolfe had tragic and squald
life. She was a bride at fifteen and
deserted wife at twenty. Her last
days were spent, victim of drink
and privation. in the charity ward at
Bellevue. Her will was made on Feb
ruary 8, 1915. She died on December
20 Of the same year. Under its pro-
visions Mrs. Wentz and Mr.. Nichols
received SIS each. Joseph C. Wolfe
the husband, who is alleged to have
deserted the testatrix, receives a like
amount
Later Mrs. Wolfe's aunt. Mrs. Susan
w. Nichols, died and left her niece
half share in her 100000 estate
Of this share Ilingworth will receive
almost he entire amount unless the
will is broken
The contestants allege that Hing
worth never worked regularly. never
properly provided for Mrs. Wolfe anc
also treated her cruelty. 1t is charged
further that he induced Mrs. Wolfe
to make her will while she was ir
a weakened condition from liquor ant
cigarettes.

The Symphony Society year ago

Hall, and given to marked expression
of interest Kalinnikow in this work
shows himself most strongly as a pupil
of Teshaikowsky in the manipulation
Of his material. He writes through

The symphony is based on Russian
folk song, an attractive little time in
itself, and one which the composer has
developed in most unexpected fashion
Especially pleasing is the broad mel
ody of its variation in the second
movement, and the tumultuous work
ing out fthe finale. 1t is q work,
neither revolutionary or epoch max
ing, but pleasing throughout. Mr.
Dnmroch gave it an unusually spirited
performance.
The assisting artist was Efrem Zim-
, balist, who played for the HUBBY con-
oerts for violin with orchestra. Aside
from Mr.. Zimbalist's splendid per-
ofrmance, the work aroused little in
terest. 1t is of little originality or
depth, and is manfestly written for
the displayal Of the powers Of vr-

programme closed with the prelude
to Die Mustersinger."
The Hippodrome has rarely held a
larger audience than the one that
gathered there last night to hear John

excellent voice and sang HandeEs

style. OF course, there were the usual
Irish ballads and Mccormack was as
