Dr. Julian MOrgenStern

l T was our delightful friend. pr. John
 son. who said of Burke that you
 could not meet him casually sherter-
 ing from a shower of rain without discov- ering that you were in the presence of a man of genius.
 This pretty compliment might be trans
 ferred to my newly found friend, Dr.
 Julian Morgenstern, whom I had the pleasure of meeting less than a month
 ago when he was here, for the governing
 thought which permeated my mind when
 left this charming gentleman, scholar and author after an hours delightful talk, vas that of a master intellect, a beauti- ful nature and withal a modesty which
 proclaims genius and talent louder than
 any fanfare of trumpets or herald angels
 sing.
 Dr. Morgenstern, who has an interna-
 tional reputation as man of letters, oc- cupying as he does the chair of Bible
 and Semitic languages in the Hebrew
 Union College of Cincinnati, where both
 professionally and socially he has gath cred about him a most charming and de- lightfu1 cotere of intellectual lights car res his work as lightly as he carries his triumphs he is wholly unspoiled by sue cess, a pleasant debonnair figure, easy in all company, telling bright story with droll enjoyment, the brilliant twinkling eye of his race speaking with fun, the
 mobile mouth working with the genial current of his thought,
 Wherever his brilliant path may lead I him. whether as the beloved leader or
 a congregation of earnest, eager follow | CTS, or as the master mind of great university, or on the platform where his erudition and knowledge are dispensed
 with lavish generosity he is amply fitted.
 to adorn it by his master intellect and deep religious training.
 In talking with pr. Morgenstern he pre- faced our conversation with the remark that the very high sounding title of the
 position he occupies at the Hebrew Union College is a very long and formidable name for very simple thing.
 For" he said, my duties are those of the teacher of the Bible, and of the He- brew and Aramac languages; former'y included Arabic in the course of lan- guages, and 1 also taught ASSyrlology. Regarding my lectures here before the Council of Jewish Women Dr. Morgen- stern continued, q am taking hold of the subject at the point I left off some three years ago, when I lectured here. Those lectures on the Book of Genesis err bodied The Story of Creation,' and in ciuded the first eleven chapters of the book, and those I now propose to give will start at the twelfth chapter, talk ing up the Abraham Cycle of Stories. "A number of the traditions Of the BOOK of Genesis are founded directly upon Babylonian and Assyrian mythology. For example, The Story of Creation, those
 of the antediluvian generations, and The Story of the Flood Beginning with the l twelfth chapter of the Book of Genesis,
 which is the second portion of the book,

w c. T. IL MEETING

A most interesting meeting of the Woodlawn W. c. T. U. was held We'd nesday morning in the Woodlawn Library The business was presided over by the President Mrs. E. C.. Brooks.
 The Treasurer Mrs. F. s. Cooley re- ported that the Jubilee Fund of $10o has been subscribed and is to be memorial to Mother Martelia Jane Persinger whose son, Rev. J. c. Per- singer, gave so much of his service to the great cause of temperance.

we find it dealing primarily with ehe question of Gods relation with Israel and Israers relation with the rest of mail- kind
 "A study of the Baby1onian religion will show it's influence on the religion of Israel" continued Dr. Morgenstern, 'as well as it's influence upon other religions. Prs ctically all religions are traced back to Rabylonian origin. As far back as the sixth and seventh centuries B. C. the influence of Assyrian and Babylanian re- ligions is felt upon the culture and the religion of Israel. It would be a mis- take. however. to assume that biblical writers in presenting the Babylonian leg end and traditions did so mechanically merely copied what they had heard au,i read Indeed, they did exactly what Shakespeare did when he borrowed the plots of many of his plays from early traditions or stories. He took the frame work. but breathed into it the spirit of his own genius and poured the divine spark of his own brain into the priceless literary setting he presented to the world"
 Similarly and upon an even larger scale,' said Dr. Morgenstern. the Biblical writers found various Babylonian tradi- tions and myths, and breathed into them the spirit of the Jewish religion, and made them the vehicles for conveying to the Jewish people and to all mankind a spiritual message that is full of mean ing and inspiration for all people at all times'
 "One of the purposes of my course of lectures said Dr. Morgenstern, Ifs to bring to mind clearly what is the direct Jewish thought and message in the leg ends that are presented in the Book of Genesis
 Just because the pathetic idea and movement were fundamentally ethical and moral, these stories of Genesis sound positive ethical and moral note. But they teach, not abstract ethics and morals, but ethics and morals as an in- tegral part of Israel's religious history

Once again the school doors
swing open to admit the juve-
nile population of Idaho county.
There come the youngsters who
are embarking upon their first
venture into the realm of books
and regular hours for work and
study; there are others in the
various grades up to the high
school seniors with their newly
donned dignity. Many familiar
faces in the high school will be
missing for the graduates have
passed outside the doors of the
local institution and many of
them are entering the institu-
tions of higher learning.
The pupils old and young, as
the graduates of college learn,
will know in time that the rules
of school are the same as the
rules of life. Those who work
faithfully and direct their ener-
gies along intelligent lines move
forward steadily. Those who
fritter away their time are left
behind. Each must learn that
the discipline of school is only a
forerunner for self discipline.
If all the parents would in
stluct the children and impress
upon them a few fundamentals
the tasks of the teacher would be
lessoned. Once children learn
that of more Importance to them
is what the teacher thinks of
each and his work than what the
pupil may think of the teacher
there will be fewer troubles in
schools. Doing a little more
work than is required, having
lessons better than necessary to
get a mere passing mark, being
as well behaved when teacher is
absent as when she is in the
room watching and refraining
from petty deceits at all times
are excellent foundation stones
for building character that will
spell success when the pupil
finds it is no longer possible to
look into the back of the book
and find the answer.

REBUILDING RAILROADS.
1t is going to take time, brains
and money to bring the railroad
system up to the needs of our
country.
Political speeches, bowling for
more wages, government opera
ton or employees ownership will
not do it.
1t is the biggest job in our
country today-working up OF
the transportation industry to
the point where it can carry its
load as it should be carried.
1t must be carried without
strain and bad management and
cusswords, and with plenty of
engines and cars where they are
needed, moved swiftly to where
they ought to be.
Experts generally have agreed
on these three fundamental
facts:
l. That industry in the Unit
ed States has outgrown the
whole system of rail transporta.

2. That steps must be taker
at once to increase the working
capacity of the whole system.
3. That development to act
