Jewish Holidays
Are Being Observed

Services for the Jewish holidays are
being conducted at Temple Bethel by
MIR. Selig Miller, brilliant young stu
dent of the Hebrew Union College of
Cincinnati. The first service began last
Wednesday night, the eve of Rosh Hash
anah, or New Year. The topic of Mr.
Mlller's sermon was "Our People and
Our Religion" At the service a beau
tiful tribute was paid to the memory of
Rabbi Sol Kory. In the tribute Mr.
Miller said: Through his pious deeds
and noble acts of kindness, his over
whelming personality shines forth 1t is
his sincere soul and faithfulness and
every form of noble achievement, which
shall ever remain with us"
On Thursday morning the New Year
service was most inspiring. In the midst
OF the service the trumpet was blown
by Gus Bernheim The sound of the
trumpet is to remind the Jew of his call
to duty: to array themselves under their
banner: it is an ideal banner proclaim
ing the worship of God and faith in
Him.
On Friday niCht regular Sabbath eve
service was read Mr.. Miller chose for
L
Coughlin.' He challenged Couehlin to
choose between religion ard politics. "a
man can not be a religious leader and a
political leader at the same time" stated
the speaker. "They do not mix. Re
hgion is pure, healthy. true and eternal.
Politics is impure, diseased. false. chang
ing. Coughlin's religion has deteriorat-
ed into false and evil interpretations.
while his political ideas have developed
into unsound, unreal. insiduous state
ments When Father Coughlin attacked
the Jews in his campaign address in
Cleveland, Ohio, prominent leaders of
the Protestant and Catholic churches
condemned him for preaching anti-Sem-
ltlsm under the mask of economic his
tory.
Tie misrepresented Jewish teachings
as Tor the principle Love thy neighbor
as thy self The statement is from the
old Testament in the book of Leviticus.
Chapter 10. Father Couglin was or
Gained as a priest to preach the religion
of human brotherhood. not the racial
hatred propaganda preached bv Nazi
pagans. Coughlin is teaching unameri-
can doctrines. He breaches European
aselsm. We must denounce any trend
whatsoever which points to it, for Fas-
clSm is foreign and seeks to destroy us.
II means dictatorship, and dictatorship
must not be tolerated in America. The
men who founded our government form
ed 1t upon democratic principles. Ours
is democracy; a democracy it shall re
main"

Bishop Green Brings
Message of New Era

Last Friday night the congregation of
St. Mary's Episcopal church and mem
bers of other denominations had the
pleasure of hearing Bishop William
Mercer Green, as he filled the pulpit
on this occasion. He chose as his text
the 10th verse of the 4th chapter of St.
Matthew "And he saith unto them, Fol-
low me, and | will make you fishers of
men,"
Bishop Green said that when Jesus
went about preaching to men, He told
of a new day that had come, with new
principles, giving peace, justice, security
and happiness to mankind. 1t was a
fuller and more abundant life Prior
to the days of the Master that the coun-
try had been ruled by three separate
races, each contributing to the habits
of the people. The Jews had stressed
religion but rather of ritualistic form;
the Greeks had taught men to think;
the Romans to rule and exploit the
people. All had become bankrupt in
principles for they failed in the teach
! ings of a brotherly love for man and
spiritual attitude. AS Jesus taught
these principles that men had a right
to live a fuller and more abundant life
and attempted to perpetuate these laws
among mankind, that it conflicted with
the functionings of the three races,
therefore they sought to destroy him.
AS in those days it was the beginning
of new era, it was today that we
are entering a new day. Our pioneer
principles had been found lacking. Self
ish nationalism, exploitation, competi-
tion and profit motives were outm oded.
We have to follow the teachings of
Jesus as our shrewdness and smartness
in the pioneering of our country has
reached an end. We must seek richer,
fuller and more abundant life. 1t was
the only way out. The teachings of
Jesus are still as true today as they
were when he preached on earth CEN
turies ago We must teach men to live,
we must let men live

Christmas Tree Business
Expands In Eureka

EUREKA.-For the past eight years
the Hofert Co. has operated in Eureka
and vicinity cutting Christmas trees.
They shipped Is cars the first year
they operated here. This year they
have already sent out As cars and
others will follow. Each car contains
about 5,000 trees, ranging in size from
two to 30 feet This year they en-
ployed IS cutters, 20 yard men, 10 IN
spectors and taggers, all local men with
two office men and one district man.
ager, Art White, who has been here for
the past eight years. They ship to every
state in the union and plan on coming
back next year in bigger way.
A. J. Thomas & Sons have operated
in this vicinity for the past six years.
Last year they set up a spraying plant
in Eureka which puts out three kinds of
trees; the frosted, the silvered and the
valley green. They also ship many of
the plain trees. Mr.. Thomas developed
the process and the formula for the
mixture used in spraying the trees. He
has been in the Christmas tree business
for 81 years and halls from Mason City,
Iowa. He plans on shipping about 30
car loads of trees, between 1000 and
5000 of these trees are sprayed.
In addition to the two companies es-
tablished here, there are several in
dependent operators who have shipped
many cars of trees and there are sew
eral other individuals who have trucked
loads to various eastern and south
western points. The thing which pleases
most is the fact that this is an industry
which. with careful cutting, will not
wear out but will develop as the years
go by and the timber surrounding the
Christmas trees will increase in growth
and value, due to the clearing out.
This has been an unusually favorable
season for cutting trees but, now that
the snow is here, it will prevent many
being shipped that otherwise would
have been since many of the trees
come frem-land in Re. about 40
miles from town. Several trucks have
been busy "a hours day trucking
these trees to the railroad here.
