to their proper growth and develop
ment are perennial, growing CONSTANT
ly, never failing. The perennial force
in the Jew is his religion That Israel
has evolved perennially is due to no
other fact than that he is able to ac-
commodate his religion to new enrir-
onments, and to adapt its principles
to new conditions. Whether the Ell
vironment is Canaanitish. BabylOnian
Persian, Greek, Roman, American,
whether the conditions are heather,
Christian or religiously nondescript,
as in our country, the Jew has been

and being was never sapped. He has

have failed of reproduction and furth-

has continued perennially young and

HOW JEWS HELPED AND HURT

Rabbi Stephen Wise Declares Jews
That Cease to be Jews Hurt the
WOrId-Jews Helped HELPED WOr,,l
Because They Were Jews.

Jews helped the world because
they were Jews. Jews have hurt til:
world because they ceased to be jews
This was the message contained IN
the sermon of Rabbi Stephen 5. Wise
ut the Temple Sunday on How Have
the Jews Helped and Hurt the World
Rabbi Wise declared that the jew
least jew is most hurtful to the world
and that the jew who gives up his
.icwishness is potentially and actively,
an enemy of humankind.
Thank God. Israel does not pcddle

you specifics or panaceas. The ques-
ticn is not what Israel gives. Israel
demands everything of you. II you
are going to leave us because we can
give you religious cod liver oil, then
God bless you. We, too, have faith
Int it does not depend upon prolDng'

Rabbi Wise declared that the Jews
hurt the world by disloyalty. and tina

In describing Isracl's bcncfactionS,

Of the universe. He stated further that

addition Rabbi Wise said that the Jew
does not ask II lip acknowledgement ol

for his bcncfactioIS but asks that thai
gratitude be lived and that 1t be re-
Ncaled in action.

 back of Wade's store, tied his feet to
 the bedpost and then performed the operation upon him with a pocket knife.
 Wade was next called to the witness stand Friday afternoon, and with tears streaming down his face he told the
 court how he had performed the opera tion, and that he had done it because he was insane as the result of the ln- fidelity of his wife. He stated that his wife had admitted to him of her .rn- proper relations with Warren. Mrs. Evelyn Wade, wife of the de- fendant was called to the witness
 stand immediately following her hus- band. Mrs. Wade admitted that I'm proper relations had existed between Warren and herself for several weeks.
 At the conclusion of her testimony,
 Mrs. Wade stated 1t was her belief that her husband was insane at the time
 the alleged operation occurred. Dozens of witnesses were introduced
 during the trial, many of whom testi- fled they believed Wade was insane, ! and did not know what he was doing. Judge Fort, after hearing the report of the jury yesterday, announced that tho sentence would be imposed next Sa.ur- lday

eBirminghah hasn't any more oS a crime situation than many other large cities" continued Judge Fort, but at the same time the situation here Is grave enough to warrant some action being taken at once.
 .'Immediately when the suggestion is made to increase the number of men or the police force some one raises the cry that the city hasn't enough money to pay their salaries. But surely city Ike Birmingham with all the wealth around it. can get up the money some way to add few more policemen to the force.
 "The money might be raised by in- creased taxes. Many people object to this, saying the taxes already are too high. But the safety each person would receive would more than repay them for the few cents they would pay out in taxes.

He is at the present time giving particular attention to the quartet-the Harmony Four-who are preparing to sing some of the quaint old negro songs combined with some of the most up-to-date pieces and also sev- eral harmony numbers of their own composition.
 All of the proceeds of the minstrel will be turned over to the orphanage to be used in making Christmas merry for the little motherless and fatherless children they are caring Tor. Tickets were placed on sale a few days ago. and may be op- tained from any member of the Yukpa club
 Rehearsals have been held for the past two months twice a week. and recently three times a week. The director. O.. Gordon Erickson, says he fs very much pleased with the progress and that he feels this will be one of the best musical affairs he has ever directed

FREE SERVICE CARS FOR MEMBERS ONLY Forty Stranded Motorists Aided by Service-TouriSt Camp
 Is Planned

Forty stranded motorists were sent on their way rejoicing yesterday afternoon by the Birmingham Automobile club. In the future this service, which for sev- eral Sundays has been free to every automobile owner in the city, will be limited to members of the club. Most of the calls received yesterday were from members of the club, the secretary said last night, which shows that its members are beginning to appreciate the advan- tages of the association.
 The management of the club announces that the free service, for members, will he made a permanent feature in the club's activity, due to the success with which 1t has been found to work. Now members are being received right along on the strength of it. according to the club secretary.
 Final plans for the establishment of a tourtst camp are expected to be made this afternoon at meeting of the mis- celjaneous committee. This committee Is composed of 0. w. Fraser. P. c. Kidd and Henry M Dozier. Sites will be visited this afternoon by the committee with a view to location. This camp is badly needed in Birmingham, 1t is said. Most large towns through which tourists pass have a camp where the visitors may secure refreshment free of charge and inouiries are received almost daily at ci,ps, headquarters by tourists for a camp here.
 ..It Is surprising" Secretary Dobbins said last night. how many tourists are coming through Birmingham. And they are not all going through. We had several who were passing through on their way to Florida to stop off fin Bir- mingham and liked our city so well that they are spending the winter here. Not ono party. but several have done this. The first thing that tourist does when ha gets to town is to look up the auto mobile club If we had camp. as we plan to get. more of them will stop and the town will benefit by the advertis- ing.
 'Our efforts to assist the city with the traffic regulations seem to be bear ing fruit" Mir Dobbins continued. We are going to finish marking off the park ing district of the business dlstrct this week. It is surprising the amount of
 mace that is conserved by this systematic uethod of uarking the cars V

HUNDREDS GREET SANTA CLAUS ON
 ARRIVAL IN CITY

Santa Claus, with his bags and bag gage, arrived at the Louisville and Nashville station Saturday afternoon to spend the Christmas season in pir- minKham. Several hundred excited children met him at the train and es- corted him through the streets. At every corner, the great crowd of chill dren was made larger by many others who would turn and follow old Santa, dc spite the protests of fathers. .nosh- CTS. guardians of older brothers and sisters.
 Santa arrived, bringing with him sev- erai hundred special orders in the way of toys, dolls and the like to be dis tributed in Birmingham. He will be at the stores where he has established doll and toy depots during the holidays.
 From the station Saturday afternoon Santa went to his toy depot at Louis Pizitz' store, where he is keeping a choice collection of pretty things for the kiddies. Santa was met at the sta- tion by his big motor car, which has taken the place of the beautiful, though obsolete reindeer that he used up Until a few years ago.
