The Bitter Truth.

Joseph Hergesheimer, who enjoys
an even greater literary reputation
in England than at home, dined re-
Gently with a friend at a New York
restaurant.
The novelist was condemning the
prevalent commercial spirit in liter
allure and said:
''In true art money should never be
an object"
At this point in the conversation
the waiter brought in his exorbitant
bill and Mr.. Hergesheimer, scanning
the document, sighed and remarked {:

MEMORIAL ADDRESS BY RABBI
LOWENTHAL, CHAIRMAN.


Death is the saddest, darkest, most
so'emn, most inevitable fact In the
world; we cannot ignore it. Death Is
the one event Of awful significance to
every one born into this world. Small
or great, noble or base, wise or dull,
we cannot evade it. To ignore death,
to belittle the Importance Of death in
tEe economy Of human existence, to
take no account Of the tragic occur
renee which divides US from the ia
miliar things we hold so dear, from
the love and the light so precious to
Us, is an impossibility. For. since the
fist funeral, the Angel Of Death has
not remained away anywhere, for any
length Of time. He allows no respite.
He is ever crying out, give, give.
From our own comparatively small
district, has he summoned many COM
rades within a single year. Like
strong-hearted men, we fulfilled our
apI cinted task and accompanied our
brethren to their last resting place.
Yet our duty has not ended at the
cemetery gate. The human heart
Graves for more than decent burial.
The wife, the mother, the sister longs
for sympathy. The children are not
satisfied to know that the body has
been laid beneath blanket Of fow-
crs. They want TO linger over the
memory Of their dear ones. They
long to know that there is something
beyond the grave.
And so we have set aside this hour
to pay tribue to memory Of our de-
parted brethren and TO extend to
their loved ones our brotherly SYM
psthy.
With reverent admiration we men,
ton the names Of:
Emanuel Lodge No. 1903 lost during
the past year Brother David We'll, a
Jew Of splendid qualities. For MANY.
many years he was President Of Kahl

IN behalf Of suffering humanity and
he was an exemplary husband and
father.

matters appertaining to the welfare
OF his fellow-men, and occupied
lofty place in civic and communal at
fairs. Without warning, without
cause. Il was an assassin's bullet that
laid him low.
American Jewry sustained great
loss by the death OF Samuel Grabfel-
der. He was a nationally known
philanthropist; a liberal giver to in
stitutions In all parts Of the country.
or late years his chief philanthropic
interest was in the National Jewish
Hospital for consumptives in Denver,
Colorado, OF which he was President
for twenty years. To this institution
he gave very large sums. He was a
gentleman Of fine qualities Of heart
and demeanor.
We also desire to pay n tribute TO
the memory OF Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Jews have lost a friend. She was one
Of the very best known American

there Is much that helped to dispel
