+" COUNCIL NAMES COMMITTEE
TO SOLICIT FUNDS
Agitation Is Also Started for Another
Waterman at the B. & O.
r. r. Crossing.

Council, at their regular meeting
Tuesday evening, scored the apparent
lack of interest shown by the board
OF trade and others in the matter of
homecoming celebration for Me-
dina county's returned soldiers and
appointed a committee to go ahead
and solicit funds and make arrange
ments preliminary to the staging of
monster welcome, the tentative
date OF which was set for Labor Day.
The members of the committee are
Mayor Dimmock, J. E. Mason, and
Dallas Warner. A full report will be
presented at the next meeting, and
the program arranged for, providing
public sentiment favors the propo-
sition. This same body passed reso-
luton favoring a celebration early in
the spring this year, but the COM
mlttee appointed to arrange for the
details met with little encouragement
and the matter was dropped.
The question of obtaining another
watchman for duty at the B. @ O.
railroad crossing was also discussed.
A request had previously been made
for a second man, only to be turned
down by the railroad officials. The
matter will now be taken up with
the state railroad commissioner. The
present watchman is on duty but
eight hours a day, no one being at
the crossing in the evening when the
north and southbound trains pass. Sew
eral near accidents have been reported
lately which resulted in the above
action being taken.
The sidewalk proposition was dis
cussed pro and con, several village
property owners having refused to
comply with the councils request that
they build walks. One property owner
in particular, Joe Ault, seems to have
aroused the, ire of the members by
his refusal to lay a walk on his South
Prospect property, with the result
that action to compel him to do SO
was started. Another walk under
discussion was that bounding the land
owned by Mrs. Whipple on North
Huntington street. The ordinance calls
for four foot walk, although walk
builders claim the laying of four
foot walk here will ruin row Of
sfade trees. Settlement of the mat
ter was left to the sidewalk commit
nee. Mrs. Whipple stands ready to al
as the council advises.
III Contractor Kellogg was present anc
stated that he has at last purchased
a steam shovel, although it has moi
yet reached Medina. The idea that
North Court street will be finished
this summer, was secuted as the -mer.
est possibility.
A resolution was passed authorized
the Clement Co., to repair the foot
bridges over Champion Creek or
Prospect and Elmwood streets. New
flooring will also be laid on the
Huntington street crossing. The
question of building a retaining wal
along the creek bed on Smith roac
was also discussed, but nothing def
nitely decided.
An ordinance was passed authoriz
ing the clerk to make an advance
draw on the county treasurer fol
funds needed for the last half of thi.
|. calendar year.
N Further business was prevented by
the absence of the village solicitor
who was in Cleveland, and the meet
ing was adjourned to await his pleas

THIRTEEN CARS DERAILED
IN B. & o. SMASHUP

Thirteen cars, loaded with all kinds
sof merchandise, were derailed and
smashed up Sunday morning on the
B. & o, about two miles west Of Lodi.
The cause of the accident was due to
a wheel breaking on one Of the for
ward cars.
The B. & O. has double track
where the accident occurred, but the
wreckage completely covered both
tracks. Later in the day the wrecking
crew succeeding in clearing one of the
tracks which allowed a resumption Of

broader views to unite humanity is
needed today more than ever before.
And this holds good also in re-
gard to the great social conflicts
which threaten society today with a
perfect upheaval. Here, too, recon-
ciliation is the imperative duty on
all sides. AS in the great cosmic
economy the hostile elements of
fire and water, heat and cold, light
and darkness constitute in their CO.
operation and coordination the or
der and maintenance of life, so
must in the social economy the an
tagonistic forces such as are CAPT
tai and labor, employer and employ
ee, possessor and wage Garner, work
together in unity and harmony for
the promotion of all industrial life
and the maintenance Of our whole
fabric of civilization.
Organized selfishness on either
side impcrls the social order of life
and so does socialism here and plu-
tocracy, with its oppressive sys-

form Judaism is not break with
the past, but as Traverse Herford
so beautifully characterizes Phari-
sale Judaism as believing in con-
tinuous revelation. There is and
there should be no standstill, but a
continuous positive progress, its
ever-creative principle working on
and on through all the night to an
ever brighter day Of God.
In this spirit the Hebrew Union
College has been working all along
But the time has come for us
when we should open its doors wide
that students and laymen, of all
denominations and shades Of opin-
ion, should obtain a better know
ledge Of our wondrous history and
literature, and a clearer insight
into the development and constant
expansion Of our religious truth.
Better knowledge of Judaism
Necessary.
Judaism is altogether msunder-
stood, if taken as a secluslve, ra-
cial or national concern. II has at
all times assimilatcd the culture Of
other nations and lands, and in its
turn eXerted a powerful influence
upon the surrounding world Yet,
it seems to me, that we have failed
to cast sufficient light on our Tai
nude and philosophic, as well are
our more ancient, literature, to
show the constant exchange Of
thought and the hospitality to their
views and customs prevailing thru
out Jewish history.
We ought to have n series Of
public lectures given regularly by
our professors of the faculty and
outside scholars, inviting other in
stitutions TO attend !. for my
part, expect to deliver this winter
a series of lectures on the New
Testament in the light Of Jewish

who in darkness, and the Day of
Atonement will come to all.
EpiscOpalian Convention and The
Jews
Such is the teaching Of enlighten-
ed Judaism as voiced by our sages
of yore. AS Rabbi Meir's wife
Beruria, the Jewish Portia, said to
her husband Course not! Read not
in your Scripture, The sinners shall
cease from the earth, but the sins;
then will the wicked be no more"
So does Judaism this very day plead
for the worlds lasting peace say
ing: "Let hatred, dscord and NAL
ice be banished forever among the
nations, the religious and the class
es of men, so that the Day of Re-
Cancellation, the day of One God
and One humanity may be nigh"
How preposterous at this late day
to propose at an Episcopalian or
any other Church convention plan
Of Outstanding the Jews, as was
done recently. Are those Church
leaders aware of the fact that soon
after st. Paul, the founder of the
Christian Church, had written his
Epistles sowing discord and hatred
between the Jew and the Christian
world, R. Johanan ben Zakkai, the
rebuilder of Judaism after the de-
struction of the Temple, uttered the
significant words: "The stones of
the altar, we are taught in Scrip
ture, should not be touched by iron
which is the instrument of murder,
whereas the altar is to establish
peace between Israel and our Faith
er in Heaven. So should religion
everywhere establish peace between
man and man, between class and
class and nation and nation"

on the last Mishnah of Eduyoth. A

save the world for true democracy,
bringing about the day of One God
and One united humanity.
Judaism Must Humanize Christian
ity's Creed.
Well, then, along this line our
entire system of education must be
reconstructed, and Judaism must
step to the front not to Judaize
Christendom, but to help to human
ize its creed and broaden its views
in the spirit Of mutual recognition.
1t is reproach and "a bitter les
son to be told by the bishops of the
New York Convention that so large
percentage Of Jews have lost in
terest in their own religion and are
rapidly becoming atheists. All the
more incumbent becomes the duty
upon US to exert all our energies
upon intoxicating the great principles
of Judaism as the Religion of JUS
tice and of Humanity upon old and
young, and proclaiming its world
redeeming truth upon the housetops
so that all, jew and non-Jew alike,
may listen and learn.
And when will this great oppor-
tunity be offered to Judaism of rem
dering, uninternationa and interde-
nominational, all-uniting spiritual
and social forces, if not in America,
the land of idealism, where the idea
Of Parliament of Religions and of
World Tribunal of Peace was CON

Covenant Of the Nations was pro-
posed by its lofty-minded President,
which will sooner or later form the
Magma Charta of New Humanity?
