BISHOP CARY SPEAKS

Bishop A. ]. Carey, who is spend
ing some time in the city, spoke be-
fore the meeting Of the Ministers AL
lance on Monday afternoon at Bethel
A. M. Z. Church. DR.. Carey paid a
a glowing tribute to the life and work
of the late DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, rabbi
OF Sinai Temple, who passed away on
Sunday morning He told of the
days when DR.. Hirsch was mem
Der of the board of directors of the
institutional Church, of which he was
pastor, and how he often said the
work being done by the board was a
great inspiration to Kim in the build
ing Of the Sinai Temple. DR.. Hirsch
was a strong advocate Of the rights OF
our race. A telegram of coincidence
was approved and sent from this meet
ing to the family. The speaker then
very bitterly denounced Wrigley, the
chewing gum man, who is said to be
member of the Ku Klux Khan. He
said he felt sure that members of the
race would buy other brands Of gum
if they just must chew gum. He also
told Of the great work being done BY
the A. M. E. connection throughout
the country and other ministers pres
ent also spoke along this line.

DEATH OF RABBI DIR. EMIL G.
HIRScH-oNE OF THE FORE
MOST CITIZENS OF AMERICA

Sunday. morning, DR.. Emil 6.
Hirsch, who, for more than forty-three
years, was the rabbi at Sinai Temple,
Grand boulevard and 10th street,
peacefully closed his eyes in death, at
his home, 46th street and Drexel
boulevard.
When the end came he was sur
rounded BY his immediate family and
close friends. He was seventy-one
years OF age at the time Of his death.
He had led long, active and useful
life, for the benefit of humanity, re-
gardless Of race, creed, or nationality
He was. by far, one of the greatest,
most profound and accomplished
scholars that the Jewish race has 50
far produced on'this continent.
Long since he had outgrown the in
tellectual needs and bounds of that
race, and he had become world char
acter, free from race prejudice and
narrow-mindedness.
Plain and simple funeral services
were conducted over his remains al
Sinai Temple, Tuesday morning
which were attended by thousand:
and thousands of people in all walks
Of life, including many Of the most
distinguished and leading divines ir
this city not of his religious faith.
His remains were laid to rest By
the side of his father, Rev. Samue
Hirsch, in Rosehill cemetery.
Services Are Simple
The services were simple. The alb
sence of flowers was almost startling
This was in accord with the wishes Of
DR.. Hirsch, for in his last sermon
preached at Sinai several weeks ago
he had proclaimed his aversion to os.
tentatious funeral display and hac
said; When my time comes to go
wish my friends would use the money
they would spend for flowers in some
worthler and more enduring expendi-
ture."
DR.. Hirsch had requested many
times that no eulogies upon him Be
pronounced at his funeral. His wishes
were respected, and in the funeral adj
dress DR.. Levi referred mainly to his
outstanding characteristics. Chief
among these was his charity Of mind
his tolerance of opposite points OF
view
He had deep appreciation Of the
opposite point of view to his own,
said DR.. Levi. HE knew that ortho-
doX Judaism could not permanently
flourish upon American soil, and yet
he appreciated the beauties Of ortho.
dox Judaism, and spoke Of them SC
often and 50 feelingly that many
doubted the sincerity Of his actual con
victions."

Many prominent Jews were present.
Among them were President M. E.

with the entire directorate Of the tenn
pie, including Edward l. Chaser, Louis
Eisendrath, Clarence Il. Coleman, S.
d. Schwartz, and Harry Hart and
Joseph l.. Gatzert, former presidents
of the temple Other Jews Of promi-
nence present included Leo Straus, DR..
Julius III. Meyer, Jacob M. Loeb,
Judges Joseph B. David, Henry Hor-
ner, Harry NJ. Fisher and Hugo Pam.
The funeral services at the temple
were read by William Wilhartz, who
for many years has read the temple
services. The active pallbearers were
the ushers Of the temple, DR.. Elkan
w. Fishell Walter S. Baer, Milton E.
Falker, Harold S. Guthman, J. L.
Kraus, A. J. Korr, Merrill l.. Israel,
and Isaac L. Marienthal, The hon

The musical program was under the
direction Of Arthur Durham, choir
leader and organist Of the temple. 1t
was composed of numbers which DIR.
Hirsch, himself an accomplished mu-
stefan, had often requested at the fu-
neral exercises of valued friends, and
consisted Of the Beethoven Funeral
March; Tschaikowsky's How Blessed
Are They; the Twenty-third Psalm in
Koschat's music setting, and HandePs
Dead March from Saul"
Casket Opened at Grave
In response to the request of the
Rev. Joseph Stolz, the casket was
opened at the grave and men and
women again filed reverently past, lips
murmuring the ancient Jewish "shol-
ON eace"-as they gazed for the
last time upon the teacher.
1t will be recalled that only few
years ago many of the warm friends Of
DR. Hirsch endeavored to induce him
to take a bold stand against permit
ting highly respectable colored people
to reside near him at 36th and Grand
boulevard AT that time he very
bluntly informed his friends that he
did not object to living by the side of
decent colored people; in fact that he
would prefer to live near them than
he would to live close up by the side
Of some white people he knew, and
when DR.. Hirsch constructed Sinai
temple at 10th and Grand boulevard,
and moved farther south in order to
be near his new temple, he sold his
old home to colored man and gave
him plenty of time to pay for it, abso-
lutely proving that he was far above
permitting himself to Be swayed BY
race prejudice. In his death this city,
this great nation and the civilized
world has lost one Of its first and most
distinguished citizens.
