At the close of Dm. Voorsanger’s address the cantor, cholr, orchestra and organ rendered part of Weber's jubilee cantata . Dr. S. Hecht of Los Angeles ssed the congregation, taking | * his topic, “The Watchman on _the | | Towe He reviewed the history of Tem- | nu-El, which was a pioneer and | a pathfinder. ‘Temple Emanu-El was_{n- deed the watchman on the tower. The| | speaker reviewed the birth of the re-| form movement in Judaism In Germany, and dwelt on the growth of the seed in this free land. The old proverb was | proved by Judaism—that those who have | sown oft in tears have but prepared a | harvest of fjovful gathering. The poet | | Mendelsohnn had produced for his coun- | trymen civil liberty. The crusade for | iberty started in Germany had produced remarkable results. The children of Jew and Gentile went to the sa schools; they went to the same unive: ! ties, and they had the courage to aside Jewish prejudices and leave confines of the Ghetto. ft was not to de- sert the synagogue or treat with indif- ference the Jewish religion. The move- ment of reform was to stir all to better | conditions. “You friends, you of the Congregation Emanu-El,” said 'the speaker, ‘have | caught the spirit of the great leadors. You have strengthened the work, and it is your duty to go forth and proclaim the | | cause. Old and young shall be the watch- | men on the tower to proclaim ‘Behold the | time of mankind’s deliverance has come— | the time of happiness for Israel anc ull‘ mankind.” * Rabbi Jacob Neito delivered an address | on “The Future of the Synagogue.” He | asked the congregation to look back and zeview the great struggles made by tho: | who had made it possible for the Je | to-day to enjoy so many priviieges. should not. forget the sacrifices of and blood made by the heroes. Too ol | alas, Judaism to-day means the obser | ance of certain holidays. ‘““We must perform,” said Rabbi Neito, | “as we profess, and keep alive religius 'svnflmem. In the synagogue of the fn- ture men and women will coms for in- spiration, and not merely to opscrve f(nm: in the synagogue of the future th | | | | el iife | will derive new knowledge and power, so that they may lift up the fallen. With | the object of bringing light to those in darkness and to relieve the weaary, the synagogue of the future will be a place of which all Jews will be proud, for to be a Jew will mean to be upright and God- fearing and having a desire to the sufferings of our fellow men.” More stirring words have never been heard in a house of worship in_this city than those spoken by the Rev. Dr. tephen Wise, who took for his subject, lsrael's Fellowship With Other De- nominations.” The address was a master- | ly and scholarly one, daring in Its con- | ception, and at its close drew rounds of | applause. Dr. Wise sald, in part: The subject on which I speak to you is not | to be found in the liberal thought of this cea- | tury but in the word of the prophet Isaiah, who | | spoke 2500 vears ago as follows: ‘‘For my house shall be called a house of prayer for ail peoples.”” Israel leads to-day in the plea for fellowship, for it believes it to be possible. We | sce the armies of the Lord fighting for no spe- | clal purpose. A few months ago the world wit- nessed the powers of the earth banded together | to right a terrible wrong. Under one head the | troops of all civilzed nations worked with @ | common accord. As important as the work ot the Allied Powers is that of putting down the | Boxerism of the Spirit of Evil. We of Israel believe that we can ally with other churches to do this thing. They, how- ever, must be prepared to do certaly things as we are prepared to do to-day. Kach one must | teach "trat its creed 15 only a seeking atter | truth. All churches should teach not right belief but right-seeking. Religions must teach the truth and not falsehoods. Let it not be taught in the Sunday-schools that the Jews were the killers of Jesus, but that we récognize him as a great man and a great:teacher and one who had a mission to perform. This is the stand to-day of modern Judalsm. When some time ago a terrible wrong was perpetrated on a soldler and a Jew and the world stood aghast jt was the duties of all churches to_rise in their might and plead for justice. Recently | in Bohemia a Jew was sentenced to death on the charge of killing a Christian girl so that her blood might be used in a Jewish service at the synagogue. re again all churches should have risen up and with one accord have denounced the charge as @ vile blasphemy and & reproach to all religions. All churches should beunited for justice and fair dealing. They should be united to put an end to the double standard of morality: the sfiver standard in the morality of men and the gold standard in the morality of women. They should unite to stamp out the gross evils which exist in all large cities. 1 plead with other churches for toleration, peace and mutual respect. relieve nst of hurling stones let them build the great church of the future. Let each one take & stone from the.walis of ration and putia the new and final church which is to be. We have driven God out of the world by bulldin temples and churches of opposing creeds.

B HELPERS OF ZION MEET. Rabbi Wise Tells of rtrmiuel Perpe- trated on Jews at Roumania. The Helpers of Zion Socfety held a fes- tival celebration last evening in B'nai B'rith Hall, 121 Eddy street, in commem- oration of the dedication of the temple. A pleasing musical programme was ren- dered by the choir and orchestra of Beih Menacham Streisand congregation and addresses were delivered by Rev. Stephen Wise, Rev. M. S. Levy and Rev. Isidor Myers. The anclent ceremony of the lighting of the “hanukkah” candles was observed, In honor of the tradition that 2 | flask of oil found in the temple burned for eight days and nights. Dr. Wise spoke eloquently on the mis- sion of the Zionists, whose alm was not to secure Palestine for all Jews, but for those Jews who were oppressed in many countries. He drew a thrilling picture of the wrongs wrought on the Jews of Rou- mania by the government of the countr, a government which owned its own exis ence to the work of a_ Jew, Disraell of ingland. No country has dared to help the oppressed Jews of Roumania, and it remained for Zionists to bring them out of bondage to the promisea land. If Christian lands practiced but one-tenth of the religion they professed, there would be no need of Zionism. Dr. Wise told of tue work accomplished In the past three a few, the Sultan of Turkey was not averse to Jews living in Palestine. Ho felt sure that the coming century would see the solution of the great problem. The speaker told of the bravery of an English officer in South Africa, who captured a fort with a handful of ‘men, “because he had his orders to do so in his pocket.” “The fort we have to capture is that | of Zion, so that the Jews who are cruel- | ly treated may Jive in happiness. The | world may laugh and tell us that the task | dangerous and impossible, but with God’s will we go forth to victory, for we have His orders in our pockets.
