Rabbi Sees World of Hate

Who Oppose Nations League

DR.. Henry Berkowrtz, rabbi of Con-
gregation Rodeph Sholem, Philadel-
phia, who occupied the pulpit of Dr.
Samuel Schulman at Temple Beth Ell
yesterday, declared that spirit of
hate, transcending even the three car
dinal sins, was more widespread to-
day than ever before. He instanced
the pogroms in Eastern Europe, adding
that the Japanese were massacreing
Coreans and that negroes were being
lynched by Americans.
The league of nations, he said, was
all the more needed because of these
conditions, and he denounced those
who, he said, were flooding the country
with propaganda against the covenant
on the ground that it was rreligious
and immoral because the peace confer
ence at Paris failed to oper. it's scs-

CHAPTER III.-By the time George

tne prettiest girl present, and got on ia
m!ously with her until he learned that
queer looking duck" at whom he had
1aoy's rather. He was Eugene Morgan, a
Hormer resident OF Bigburg, and he was
returning there to erect factory and to
vention.
CHAPTER IV.-Eugene was an old ad-
mlrer OF IsabePs and they had been en-

complexion, pallid at hrst, had De
come mOttled; nery Splotches appear
ing at his temples and cheeks. "What
do you mean by telling me-telllng me
there's talk abOut-abOut-" He
gulped, and began again: "What do
you mean by using such words as

Fanny looked up at him woefully
over the handkerchief which she now
applied to her redeemed nose. God

she murmured. II wanted to say so,
but it's only old Fanny, so whatever
she says-eyen when it's sympathy

only poor old lonely Fanny"
"You look here !" George said harsh
ly. when l spoke to my Uncle
George after that rotten thing l heard
Aunt Amelia say about my mother. he
said If there was any gossip 1t was
about yOu He said people might be
laughing about the way you ran after
Morgan, but that was ALL"
Fanny lifted her hands, clenched
them and struck them upon her knees.
"Yes; it's always Fannyw she sObbed.
Ridiculous old Fanny--always, al
ways"
and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close it came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through a partition
by swerve which splintered a shaft
of the runabOut and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state Of rawness hideOus to George
though, for that matter, they we're

to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick In his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
versatiOn and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight Of Eu-
gene; and vague revulslOn, like a
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent Of
so much thought about her companion
and Of such reliance upon him.
The two began to, walk ON toward |
the gate, where they stopped, turning |
to face each other, and Isabel's glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
5tantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as In
some rigid trance, and staring straight |
At them, gave these signals of greeting |

CHAPTER XIII.

George went driving the next after.
noon alone and, encOuntering Lucy
and her father on the road, in one on
MOrgan's cars, lifted his hat, but no
wise relaxed his formal countenance
as they passed. Eugene waved cor
dial hand quickly returned to the
steering wheel; but Lucy only nodded
gravely and smiled no more than
George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in num-
bers and gayety by the absence of
George Anderson. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Hiss
Minafer in quite a futter "Why,
George!" she said, turning to her
nephew, "HOw does it happen you
didn't tell us?" And with both hands
opening, as if to express her innocence
of some conspiracy, she exclaimed to
the others: "He's never said one word
to us about Lucy's planning to go
awayw
probably afraid to-" the Major sug-
gested didn't know but he might
break down and cry If he tried to-
speak of it." He cIapped his grandson
on the shoulder, inquiring jocularIy:
"That it, Georgie?"
George made no reply, but he was
red enough-to justify the Majors de
veloping chuCkle into laughter
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got an impression that
his fiery blush was In truth more fiery
than tender.
After the arrival Of coffee the Ma
jor was rallying Eugene upon some
rival automobile shops lately built in
a suburb, and already promising to
flourish.
Il suppose they'll either drive you
out of the business" said the old gen
tleman, ''or else the two of you'l drive
all the rest of us OIL the streets"
"If we do Wen even things up by
making the streets five or ten times
as long as they are now," Eugene re-
turned.
:HoW do you propose to do that?"
''It isn't the distpnce from the cen
ter of a town that counts" said Eu-
gene; "it's the time It takes to get
there. This towns already spreading;
bicycles and trolIeys have been doing
their share, but the automobile is
going to carry city streets clear out to
the county line"
The Major was skeptical. "Dream
