Naturally, it must be the rabbi. It goes without say- ing, therefore, that at such a juncture he should have the privilege of resigning. His failure to exercise that option neces- sarily implies an acqulescence by him in the views of the board of trustees.” The personal conference with members of the committee, said Dr. Wise, showed that “if some members of the congrega- tion should differ from my views ex- the subjection to and control of the pul- pit by them would involve such a saeri- fice of principles as would leave me no convictions worthy of the name to sur- render at any subsequent Behest of the board of trustees. “The absence of friction in the past be- tween the rabbis and board of trustees of Emanu-El, to which the communication refers, proves that the pulpit has been circumspect or that it has been most ef- fectually muzzied, or that the board of trustees has had the forbearance of the angels with the occupants of the pulpit. As for the forbearance of angels, which has possibly been theirs, I wish to make clear that I would not deliver my con- science into the keeping of the angels. My conseience is my own. That this ap- peal ta the spirit of my people' at its highest shall not have been made in vain is my hope, though every thought of a CONET 15 SEEN WITH AKED YE Astral Body Observed at Nice Plain to View of Astrono- mers on Mount Hamilton MT. HAMILTON, Jan. 6.—The faint comet discovered on December & by As- tronomer Glacobini of the Nice Observ- capable of giving them enormous ve- locities, sometimes amounting to dazens | of miles per second. The tails are thus composed of a multitude of such par- ticles moving out from the head. The comet is a moving object, best seen just at the first trace of dawn, a short distance above the horizon, and about ten degrees of arc south of the cast point. Those living under thick skies or in the glare of electric lights must not expect to see more than the head of the comet. The orbit computed from Mr. Smith's observaticns by Dr. Crawford of the Berkeley Astronomical Department shows that the comet will continue to approach the sun until January 322, when its solar distance will be 26,000,00¢ miles and that it is moving in a parabolic curve which will carry it out of our solar system never to re- lin and in a few hours the injured were being cared for. The accldent occurred at the same place where a collision oc- curred some time ago, in which two per- sons were killed and several badly in- Jured. SAN JOSE, Jan. 6.—Millard Noble, con- duector on' the mail train wrecked near Harmey, Nev., last night, who was re- ported seriously injured, telegraphed his parents in this city this morning that he was not Injured. ————— FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY FATALLY STABS COMPANION Petty Quarrel Between Lads in a Railway Office Culmi- nates in Murder.

Such a formula is resignation, without the slightest guaran- tee that reason and right are on the side of the objectors—the mere statement of the case is its own severest condemna- tion. “How can a2 man be vital and inde- pendent and helpful if he be tethered and muzzied?
