Friedlander, tho rabbi of tho Synagosuo. Mr. Friedlander is the' youngest man in the State occupying so important a position in the Jewish Chnrch. Ho was born Russian Poland twenty six years ago, and camo to this country, after an education in England, to accept the appointment ho now holds. Ho is a profound Talmuclical scholar, an accomplished linguist and a sound theologian.

He took as tho text of his sermon "In all places where Irecord my name I will come to thee and I will bless thee." Exodus, and said in part: These words are the assurance of God's favor to every true and faithful heart. It is the tone of religion mingled with philosophy and polity. It is the support of the deserted, the comfort of the distressed and the hope of the forsaken. It is a most curious problem to the political inquirer and a profound admiration to the religion man of to day, that the Jew still exists and the flame of Judaism not yet extinguished. Many nations havo been born, have blossomed, faded and passed from the face of the earth; but tho Jewish nation, notwithstanding the many struggles, tho fatigues, the disasters and the unparalleled calamities it underwent, never ceased pursuing the course of its spiritual state.

In fact, in most the misfortunes which befell the Jew only served to fan the flames of his enthusiasm and love for his religion. What was Vespasian's replv to the ltoman ladies when they urged him to inarch immediately on Jerusalem and put a stop to tho rebellion? "Nothing," said the great general, "would unite their forces but an attack from a common enemy." No project or force ever succeeded in the attempt to convert the Jew from his lofty principles.

So far as thoy are concerned, tho trouble is over, and they look forward to a season of victory. Mr. Hart wired the directors to night that he would report for duty next Tuesday. Ho is just tho man to handle the Boston Club, and if anybody can keep the star players from kicking over tho traces ho is tho man to do it. In the opening two weeks of the exhibition campaign tho series of contests between league and American teams have ended evenly, each having won nino games.

Yesterday was totally unfit for ball playing, a cold northeasterly wind making it exceedingly unpleasant for players and spectators aliko and yet 3,040 peoplo paid tuoir way into Ridgewood Park to see the Jersoy City team play the Brook lyns on the occasion.

It was especially hard on the battery players and tho result was plenty of errors. Hughes, Caruthers and Terry entered the box for Brooklyn, Hughes having tho host record, whild Daly and Landman officiated for Jersey City. The lattor was simply wild and swift, while Daly distinguished himself by kick three public buildings that were exclusively associated with SamuelAdams' political life. These are Faneuil Hall in which the town meetings were hold: the old South House into which they overflowed and tho old State Church where from 1765 till 1774 when he was sent to the Philadelphia Congress, ho was invariably present and where again after the war as Senator, as Lieutenant Governor, as" Governor, ho served tho State until 1707 when it was time for him, then 75 years old, to have a little rest. After the passage of the Stamp act James Otis said: "It is tho duty of all humbly and silently to acquiesco in all the decisions of the Supreme Legislature.

Nine hundred and ninoty nino in a thousand will never ontertain a thought but of submission to our sovereign and to tho authority of Parliament in all possible contingencies." If this wb true, then Samuel Adams was the thousandth man. But it was very far from being true, and Samuel AdamB would aoe to it that it was further every day. Otis would havo been satisfied with colonial representation in the British Parliament. Adams was a Home Ruler out and out; not at first for iadonendence any more than Parnell is for Ireland's independence now, but tending gradually and irresistibly to that as tho only rational solution of tho difficulty that could bo found. The Kev.

Mr. Chadwick then treated miuutely of Adams' part in opposing tho Stamp act and encouraging tho colonists to resist the oppressive legislation of the mothor country which finally resulted in their ultimate freedom. "It was a narrow Btago," said Mr. Chadwick, "on whioh Adams playod his part the scenery that of a small provincial town. But ho playod his part so well that thoso who saw and listened wero inspired so do one of tho bravest tilings that ever has boon doue for God and man.

In organizing the Revolution and in the Independence of America ho had many helpers, statesmen and orators of imperishable renown. Something must bo allowed for bias of affection, when a sou of Massachusetts speaks. But I believe that if wo could have a historian absolutely impartial he would say that tho man of the town meeting, Samuol Adams, was the master workman of them all." THE CONTEST FOU THE FAITH. Rev. Robert B.

Hull Discourses on Exiilted Fellowship. The Necessity for Close Communiou Willi the Deity Lessons from tho Lives of tho Redeemer and His Disciples. As has been tho caso for many Sundays, the pews, and even the aisles, of Greenwood Baptist Church, Fourth avenuo and Fifteenth street, wero filled yesterday to hear the morning (lis. course of tho pastor, the Rev. Robert B.

Hull. His topic was: "The Exalted Fellowship." Text, John "Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ." The preacher said This is an exalted fellowship. It is a blessed experience. It is a wonderful honor th.it Hod thus gives His people. John, the beloved disciple, once young, now old, utters in tho words of this text that which has been with him a fact of every day's life.

Once he had leaned uuon the breast of his living Lord, and had held such closo fellowship with Him that he could ask what others dnred not utter. Now, with that Lord crucified, dead, buried, risen, ascended to glory, that same fellowship still exists. John is, however, no longer to have Ibis intimate fellowship as a favor personal to himself. In the preceding verse ho declares that he tells them tho truth as it is in 'that also may have fellowship with us." It is possible, as we have considered the ancient patriarchs, we have envied them their exalted privileges. There was David, man after God's own heart.

There was Moses, of whom it was said he knew the Lord face to face. There was Abraham, styled "father of the faithful" and friend of Uod." There was F.nooh, whose fellowship with his was so intimate that ho was not permitted to die as ordinary men, Im alter walking with Uod here, at one step went from earth to heaven to walk with (Iod in his everlasting mansions. Wo eiwv these men, forgetting that the Lord declared of all these ancient' worthies that the least in the kingdom of heaven that is. least in this Gospel dispensation is: greater than they.

Sellings, whom Assistant District Attorney John L. Devenny, acting for tho Federal Government, charged with having violated the Federal statutes by personating a Government detective. Potter lives at 173 Java street, with his wife, who is one of the Denton family, well known in Queens County. Rellings' home is at 298 Manhattan avenue, and in tho time of uh prosperity, before the unfeeling hand of the Federal authorities interfered with him, he carried on the Cosmopolitan Doteotivo Bureau, at 335 Broadway, New York. He was arrested yesterday on the charge indicated, and on the affidavit of Potter.

The examination was conducted by Mr. Devenny, and interesting allegations affecting others than the principals in tho affair were made. "About the month of April, 1888, I first mot Rollings," Potter sworo, "being introduced to him by a man named Walker. I lived then in Ravenswood, L. with my wife.

Some time in May Rellings said ho thought he could secure mo a position as a United States detective, which place he hold himself, he said, being under bonds for tho shield he wore in tho sum of 15,000. I told him I would be glad to get the place, which would bo mine on the payment of $5. A few days later he said that ho had been in communication with the authorities in Washington, but that nothing could bo done until after the Presidential election. he Haid, 'I can appoint you on the Cosmopolitan when I receive further authority from Albany and yon paying $5 for the That was done and I was employed by him. Ho had three shields, and I got the third one.

A man named Engelbraclit, I was in formed, had worn it before. I thought it strange that no warrant or commission accompanied the shield, and I spoke to hiin about it. Rellings said: 'That's all right. I'll be responsible for all your Acting under his instructions, I secured a room at avenuo, New York, where also lived a young lady named Lottie Worms. I was told by Rollings to get acquainted with Miss Worms; take her down to Rockaway on a certain day, and endeavor to show that she was not a person of good character.

Rollings was then to arrest her and me. I took her alongion the day named, but nothing was done. She behaved properly. Another day was set and on this second occasion Rellings, after shodowing us for some time, arrested us both. He showed a badge with the inscription, 'U.

S. I. and the initials 'C. F. on it.

Ho accused us both of having tried to blackmail Henry Claus, of East New York, and Miss Worms declared that I had nothing to do with her trouble with Mr. Claus. After a talk with her in a saloon, ho got her to sign a paper acknowledging that she had tried to blackmail Claus. Wo all came homo together, and whou Rollings and I parted ho shook mo warmly by tho hand and said I had done well." "When next did you seo him act as a United States doteotivo? asked Mr. Dovenny.

"Ho came to my house and showed my wife and mo his shield, saying that he was acting under Drumraond." "What L. Drummond, New York, tho secret service agent of the Treasury Department." "What power did he say he possessed "Oh, ho said ho could arrest a man in any State and bring him to another without extradition papers."

The Bravery and Wisdom Which Prepared Ihe Colonies for Self Government Samuel Adams' Share in Creating the Spirit of Independence. Samuel Adams was tho subject of the lecture delivered by tho Rov. John White Chadwick iu tho Second Unitarian Church last ovening.

He said: The present time is specially appropriate for tho consideration of tho life and character of Samuel Adams. In a few days we shall be celebrating the final scene of the last act of the groat Revolutionary drama which began in 1760 with the accession of George III. to the British throne and which ended with the occupancy by Washington of the Presidential chair. I am aware that the Revolutionary period is not always reckoned in this manner. The surrender of Cornwallis in 1781 or the evacuation of New York in 1783 is oftoner regarded as its final term.

But from the surrender of Cornwallis or the evacuation of New York to the inauguration of Washington there were battles to be fought and victories to be wou of not loss importance than Saratoga or Trenton or Yorktown, in which, though much bad blood was engendered, little, either good or bad, was shed. It would lie as absurd to begin at Lexington as to end at Yorktown. The inauguration of Washington was the real end of the Revolution. And as we draw near to the anniversary of that end what could be more appropriate than to turn again for a littlo while to the beginning and contemplate the evonts in which the Revolution took its rise and the man who was so pre eminent in shaping those events to a glorious issue, that as often as tho glorious Fourth comes round the name of Samuel Adams should be above all names. The Revolution was a tliree act play.

The first act was tho act of preparation, this ended with the Declaration of Independence. The second was the act of confirmation, the Revolutionary War. The hird act was the act of reconstruction. In each act there were many entrances and exits; there were many persons on the stage, and there were movements when, it was diflicult for tiie casual observer to discover whose was the leading part. liven at this remove it is hard to say whetheisn the third act we shall think of Washington or Madison as first.

But it is not hard to say that Washington was the leading part in the second act ami that Samuel Adams' was the leading part in the first act.whichwas longer than the other two, is just as plain. That is why some one has had the hardiness to suggest that not to Washington but to Samuel Adams belongs the title Father of his Country. Certain it is that Washington bore no such part as Adams in the events that culminated iu the separation of the colonies from the mother country. Adams was par excellence the organizer of independence, the father of the Revolution. Does this distinction entitle him to be called the Father of his Country Whether it does or not' one might as well attempt to pluck off the ring of Saturn and to encircle Jupiter with its aureolo of splendor as to transfer from Washington to Adams that title of spontaneous gratitude and admiration.

In tho heat of partisan animosity, while Washington was President, somo editor (scenting a foreign mission far off, it may be) called him the Stepfather of his Country. It was cruelly intended, but it rudely hinted at the simple truth that Washington was the foster father of America. It was from the loins of Samuel Adams that tho glorious. creature camo The part of Washington was to defend hor infancy amid the clash of swords, to shield her from the perils of her youth, to givt her away in marriage to a right worthy suitor for her grace, and still in that indissoluble union to watch her with a loving eyo until death's dimness came.

The consecration and rededication (services yesterday afternoon at Synagogue Baith Israel, on the corner of Boerum place and State street, were most impressive. Tho synagogue is the oldest in the city.

It was erected twenty eight years Bgo, and every synagogue at present in Brooklyn is oither attended by seceders from or is a branch of it. Three months ago it was found necessary to thoroughly repair tho building and put on a new roof. The seating capacity has been increased, a now vestibule and double entrance way have been added and the entire inside renovated and handsomely decorated. Tho eophorim torim, or scrolls of the law, had been removed while tho alterations were going on, and yesterday they were returned to their resting place in tho ark with all the pomp and solemnity of the orthodox Jewish ritual in the presence of a rejoicing congregation almost too large for the church. The services wore almost entirely in Hebrew.

The congregation kept their heads covered. Each minister wore a long, full robe of black silk, a small velvet cap and a white scarf called a tallus, round his neck. The ushers, Messrs. Krone, Franklin, l'alkart, H. Kaphacl, S.

Phillips, N. Scrmenstrahl. X. Jacobs and J. Arneberg, wore evening and everyone appeared as if trying by the festival appearance of his or her attire to show the joyful nature of the occasion.

The exercises commenced at about o'clock by the trustees and the minister, tho Itev. Jtabbi Friedlander. going to the school house wherein had been deposited for safe keeping the scrolls of the law. carrying them to the vestibule and knocking at the door leading into the. synagogue.

In response to the question from within of what was wanted tho minister exclaimed: "Open for me the gates of the righteous and I will come in and I will uraise the Lord." Tho Itev. 13. Hast ehazan of the Shaaray Zcdck Congregation, of New York, responded from within: "These are tho gates of the Lord that the righteous may come into them. Come into the. gates with praise, into the court yards of the Lord with thanks.

When the trustees approached the ahm mom mir and went up Die steps leading to the ark the perpetual lamp, which is always kept lighted in front of where the scrolls of the law are kept, was lighted by Phillips, Mr. Minko chanting, "And it came to pais when the ark and "Hoar.

All of the pictures and stock are to be sold off before the 1st of May, and the more important of the paintingB will be disposed of at auction this week. Home of tho pictures hare been known to the public for years, for it was at one time common to regard "Knight's" as a fashionable lounge and artistic rendezvous. Many Brooklyn painters have made their debut, as it were, under his auspices, and he numbers in his personal acquaintance artists by the hundred. He has been a shrewd buyer and there are sorao pictnres in his stock that bear tho names of men who now command almost the price of his gallery for an important work. In a small frame on an easel may be seen an examplo of a little picture, but of much beauty and painted with sincerity and" feeling; really better, in fact, than many of tho canvases that appear with regularity in tho New York auctions.

It is a glimpse of lake, wood and mountain, agreeable in composition and pure in color. When Mr. Knight bought it for tG Diaz was a man without a name; now that his name is added to the historic roll its commercial worth has been so increased that its value is best represented by adding two ciphers to the figure representing the purchase money. There are pictures, too, by men who had some fame in theii day, but who are quite forgotten now. Who, for example, recalls one But he was probably an artist of some consequence, and ho shows that he could handle a brush by the way he painted "Fort Wagner After the Assault." This picture is not without some technical deficiencies, but it is worked in rather a broad and telling manner and is of such historical interest that it ought to pass into the hands of some one of the Grand Army posts in this city or elsewhere.

Tho fort rises on tho right side of the picture above a reach of water, with a distant shore line accented by trees, roofs and spires, and the Hteep glacis is strewn with dead and wounded, for the painter did this work in tho ditch of the earthwork at the conclusion of the battle. Jervis McEntee is represented in a picture that he would perhaps smile at if he saw it to day, but while tho execution is wanting in the liiiish and confidence of his later works, there the same sobriety of sentiment and a kindred choice of subject. It represents the ruin of an old mill, with a foreground of rough rook and shaggy brush. Arthur Parton, who was greatly addicted to the Scotch lakes a few years ago, shows two excellent transcriptions of their characteristic scenery, with silvery sparkling on the water and touching tho green of the uplands. Carleton Wiggins' cattlo pictures and landscape show the drift of his work toward solid technique and rich tones and color.

The Jews mingle with all nations, sects and parties in many affairs of life, yet refuse to mingle their blood with any other rffce.

They dwell in their own distinct family and communities and maintain their customs, literature, religion and, above all, the principle of national unity. Israel claims that their never dying existence is due to the special will of God. Truly nothing can shake the truth of their claim. But we may r.ightiy inquire what has served as a mediator, as an agency through the operation of which Israel remained to this day so linked together and so adherent to their religion. Before answering this lot us give a thought to the passage I have taken as my text: "In all places where.

I record my name I will come to thee and will bless thee." It might lie remembered that the first part of this passage which reads, "An altar of earth thou shall make unto me and shall sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, is the lirst place in the Lible where tiie command is made to build altars and offer sacrifices. Hoses, who transmitted this command to Israel, appears not merely the lirst who founded a commonwealth on Just principles, butone who advanced religious truth and political society to as high a degree of perfection as any civilized people are capable of attaining. Tho one great object which he was devoted was the permanent happiness of the whole people, Finding Israel iullueuced with Egyptian paganism ho strictly denounced polytheism and inculcated upon their minds the true teaching of monotheism. He discovered, however, that men at large are not capable of obtaining a state of life which is purely moral and ethical without a practical religion. He found his brethren unfit to he indoctrinated with an ideal religion, a religion based upon philosophy, without positive observation which might have upon man the desired effect.

15y the divine direction therefore contrived a means by which they might gradually approximate the truth. With the command of God he ordered an altar built, then a Tabernacle, thus calling forth the liberality of the community for religious purposes. There, they brought saeritiecs as a token of thanks and gratitude There, poor and rich olfero.l prayer to the same helping power. And the influence of the meetings at that sacred spot, taking (he same ell'oet upon almost everyone of the worshipers linked them together in one practical chain and instigated them to adhere to and struggle for the same reiigious causo. Wherever Israel went the Tabernacle went with them.

The Lord spoke, lirst chapter of John's Gospel we are told that as many as received Him (that is, Christ) ''to them gave he the right to become children of God." And Peter tells us that God in the plenitude of Bis mercy "hath granted unto us his precious mid exceeding great promises that through may become partakers of the divine nature. "Considering the words of the text it will bo noted that this exalte 1 fellowship is spoken of as "with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ." Tho question at once arises, why is not the Holy Spirit mentioned also To this question perhaps tlio best answer is that the apostle here regards the Holy Spirit as dwelling within us and Himself the means by which fellowship with tho Father and the Son is maintained. Now, let your attention be directed this morning to tliree gen crnl thoughts: the origin of mis fellowship, the nature of this fellowship and the conditions by which its enjoyment is hindered or helped. The origin of our fellowship with God goes back to that central find in the history of our salvation. It w.is necessary that as by man camo death by man should also come the resurrection from the dead.

It was necessary that since by man camo sin by man should also come salvation from sin. It was necessary that the captain of our salvation should he a man of like passions with us, that he should sutler as we sutler, be tempted as wo are tempted, in short, he made in all things like unto his brethren. Wheu we announced that (iod became incarnate, that is, human, then we have at the same time aniiouiieed the truth that THE cuxniAL Clinton. Interesting Services VosUirdiiy SJctiirii of Itr.

The Rev. Dr. E. P. Ingersoll at tho Puritan Congregational Church yesterday morning preached from Ihe Epistle of Jude, the third verse: "Beloved, while I was giving all diligenco to write unto you of our commou salvation.

I was constrained to write unto you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints." A brief resume of Dr. Ingersoll's remarks is as follows: Jude is known in the Gospel by several names. He is spoken of as Judas and as Thaddeus. The mixture of languages and racea accounted for this. He was known by one name among the Greeks and by another among the Jews and probably still another among the Romans.

This Judo was, without question, one of the apostles. "Judas not Iscariot." It is not a question to discuss hero whether he was or was not a brother, a cousin or another relative of Jesus Christ. He shows great meekness if he was a brother of tho Saviour in speaking of. himself morely as a "servant." To make himself more perfectly known iu his epistle he describes himself as a brother of James, the apostlo who had charge of the church at Jerusalem. The Epistle of Jude is a gem of apostolic thought and heart.

It is very brief, but it is brevity with clearness and power and vital with spiritual richness and connsels of wisdom. From his original design to write thorn about the "common salvation," ho is startled by the knowledge that a great heresy had crept into the church and that it was going hand in hand with appalling corruption. He know that error in faith brought error life not always immediately, but ultimatelyand he hastens earnestly, agonizingly to appeal to them. Loosen your ship's anchor a little and the waves and the currents will do tho rest. Sink it firmly and the waves and tides but tighten its iron arm.

It is good for us to have waves and tides if we are prepared for them. Stand fast for the faith." What is the faith An analysis of the work done on the field by tho rival teams of Now York and Brooklyn on Saturday shows that the contest was a very remarkablo one for so early a period of the season, and under the circumstances of the little training each team had had for so important a match. While the victory wm undoubtedly well earned by the visitors, the defeat was no discredit to the Brooklyn team. The two lucky hits with which the New York batsmen made their opening dash gave them valuable confidence at tho very outset, while the costly mishap of Foutz's overthrow proved disheartening to tho homo team, giving, as it did, two runs and a lifo to the visitors and a winning lead in the opening inning. Confidence at the bat is half tho battle in a game, and this is frequently inspired by Just such chance occurrences as marked tho' lirst inning's play in this game.

That on such a chilly day only three fielding errors were made in the entiro gamo and two of them excusable ones, shows what a fine fielding gamo the two teams played. One fact the contest plainly developed was that the home team have secured an effective pitcher in Lovett. Captain Ward watched his work in the The services of the Central Congregational Church yesterday woro rendered interesting hy a combination of circumstances. Rev. Dr.

Beh rends, pastor, had returned from the South after a threo week's rest, and conducted the communion services, as was oxpeeted, and Rev. Dr. A. F. Schaulller, of New York, who made a very remarkable impression upon the Central Church people two weeks ago, preached the morning sermon.

Nineteen persons were received into church fellowship, some on confession of their faith and others by letters from other churches. Dr. Behrends said that during the weeks of his absence he had gathered both health and strength, and he felt as if he had accumulated a large store of energy which he hoped would on able him to do more effective work in the time to come. Not an hour had passed during his absence that he did not think tenderly of the peoplo Moses interpreted and the Tabernacle served as the medium of communication. Moses, well acquainted with both sides of Israel's character could through the inspiration of God foretell Washington the title "Father of his Country." But if this title rightly goes to him wdio did the most to give America honorable standing among the nations of the earth then it is still rightly Washington's.

It is glory enough for Adams to bo railed the Organizer of Independence, tho It is the wdioie system of gospel truth, the whole revelation of (iod. You stand beforo the Old Testament as before some imprisoned treasure of art. You woudor at it as at something ancient aud John A. Parker, academician and formerly one of the best known landscape painters in thin city, sold some of his best things to Mr. Knight Adirondack heights and lakes that arc to bo seen and sold this week.

There are some pleasant bits of field, wood, sheep and cattle painting by V. V. Berry, whose work is improving, and two or throe marines by Taylor Baker, who is popular. An earlj David Johnson is among the smaller canvases, and there is a figure piece, an "He said so. He volunteered, then, to take hold of a case my wife had iu the Surrogate's Court in Jamaica, in which she claimed a portion of tho property of her father, Charles C.

Denton, and she was so impressed with liim that she advised mo to let him go ahead. Tho understanding was that if we got a thousand on the property Roll the human became divine, i bus, with our human life united to God in L'hrist, we are able, as Milton says, to "Eat and drink and in communion sweet Quaff immortality and joy." The verv word fellowship indicates this. The verb from which it comes occurs eight times in the New Testament, and five of the eight times it is translated to partake. This is tho root meaning of the word fellowship as here used, and thus we see how thoroughly the text accords with Die fact that since Christ took or partook of our nature we also partake of his nature. The medium by which this partukini; is ministered is the Spirit dwelling within us.

We become new cre.i tures in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Then these bodies become tho temples of Ihe Holy Ghost, and we no longer think only of a God above us but also of a God within us. We say, then, of the origin of our fellowship with God, that its foundation is iu the incarnation and tho atonement of Christ, its application to us is hy the work of the Holy Spirit. The nature of this fellowship, as personal, intimate and organic, will at once he perceived from what has been already said. It is personal.

Possibly the word individual would more accurately express it. It is the fellowship of persons, but of persons a individuals. As individuals we aro born into this world, as individuals we live, as individuals wo die. As individuals we are convicted of sin, as individuals we are horn again by the spirit, and as individuals we have fellowship with our God. This personal fellowship is very intimate.

There is a depth of menning in the oft quoted text: "There is a friend that stick eth closer than a brother." Our Saviour prayed for his disciples, saying: "That they may bo one, even as we are one: I iu them and thou in me that they may be perfected into one." Now this intimate fellowship is more than proximity of persons. There are millions who livo iu closo personal contact who have no fellowship one with the other. They dwell under the same actress in hor dressing room, it would appear, by tho late Alonzo, Cliappel, J. G.

He had returned in timo to bo with them on that occasion hceause he desired to meet them around the Lord's table rather than to depend upon the good offices of a stranger in dispersing the elements of the family feast. Dr. Se.haufller's sermon consisted of an able improvisation of the unwritten early and private life of Christ, in the course of which ho showed that Jesus lived iu a very poor house of a very poor family in tho very despised town of Nazareth; that He was a close student of the Old Testament Scriptures in whatever way Ho got hold of them; that Ho was not a University scholar and must have acquired his education Inclose application and keen use of opportunities, and that He cultivated prayer. When He began His public ministry Ho was much in prayer, and that was not a newly acquired habit, but one to which lie had been accustomed, aud the power of which He had learned by long use. No artist had ever succeeded in presenting more than an artist's ideal of tho countenance ot the Muster.

Certainly no ono had ever portrayed the eyes of their tuturo destiny. In order to implant in them a holy zeal to serve as a strong barrier against the dissolution of their spiritual state, that they might never give up their holy banner he stamped upon their memory the words of God, "In all places whore I record my name I will come to thee and I will bless Believe not that Gods presence is only in the Tabernacle in tho Temple near the altar upon the holy mountain in the holy city; wherever you may bu you have the right to claim your license to teach the world the unity of God. to regulate society with laws of equality ami to exorcise a discipline upon humanity which should aim exclusively at fitting man for conducting himself honorably and prudently in this lifu and properiy prepare him for tho life to come. "I shall be with yon in the synagogue as in the sumptuous temple," says the Lord. "We may nay with prayer our hiil for sacrifices," said the prophet.

The synagogue is a most powerful instrument which operates upon the perpetuity of our unmiugiod nice and upon the immortality of our spiritual state. It is the synagogue that ever kept together in one body the world dispersed members of the Jewish family. It is the synagogue that has ever been the vital vein of tin: Jewish body, and it may truly be said that it is to the synagogue that Judiaism owes its existence. Hundreds of years after the temple was in ashes Israel still claimed "our sanctuary is not totally destroyed," as in place of the temple the synagogue as a place of worship grew up. Then1 the nation met for the purpose of thanksgiving and there the individual came to utter his prayer in the more immediate presence of the Al strange in a museum.

It doesn't concern us of to day. Brothers, the. Word tho new and the old concerns us now as always. Christ is the spirit of the Old Testament as of tho New. We see in each the conflict of humanity inspired of God.

Somo phases of life contending with evil aro brought out in tho Old that aro not to be found in the New. Faith includes the whole system of revealed truth, and Judo speedily makes it plain that the citadel of that faith, the radiating center, is the gospel of Christ. Can there be uncertainty as to what the inspired man means? "Ungodly men, turning the grace of God into lasciviousnoss and denying our only Master and Lord. Jesus Christ." "Master" is here "monarch," "sovereign" one whose right it is to reign as an absolute ruler over us. Thus our Lord Jesus Christ is "our only Master." The life, miracles, death, resurrection and glory of our Lord, salvation through faith in Him, sanctilica tion of tho heart by the spirit and blood of Christ, the supreme godhead of Christ and the Holy Spirit each is essential to the very life of Christian religion.

Are these tho means by which wo can escape from mistakes, from going a little ways out of the way No; sin is the curso of the. world, anc He wdio alone can sanctify the heart alone can save us from sin. Let us mark the clear affirmation regarding this faith. It was "once box closely, and ho said he had never soon a more nervy man in the position or ono who could stand such an onslaught as ho did without becoming rattled. He struck out Connor, Richardson, Slattery and Crane by skillful, strategic play in his position and not by tho terrific pace of his delivery.

In four innings not a hit was made off his pitching, and but for the confidence inspired in tho opening inning the visiting batsmen would not havo scored half the hits thoy did. Ho was cool, collocted and plucky, fielded his position finely, and after the first inning the batsmen had no easy task in securing a single hit in nu inning. His command of the ball was shown in the fact of his having but one base on balls charged to him. On the other hand Crane, who was in oxeellent form for his best work having had plenty of practice all the Winter sent seven men to bases on balls and one by wild pitch, and but for Brown's splendid catching the battery errors would have been doubled. There was but one solitary error in the support given Crane's pitching, and that was O'Rourke's excusable error in took up positions insido the rails facing the ark, Dr.

Mendes offered a brief but eloquent consecration prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer the scrolls of lie law were carried four times round the synagogue, at the end of each circuit being borne to their original position in front of the ark, while one of Iho chazaniin chanted a psalm. The psalms chanted were Psalm XXX. by Itev. Hast, Psalm XXIV.

and G. by Itev. Friedlander and Psalm LXXXIV. by itev. Minkowsky.

The usual number of times the scrolls are carried round a synagogue is seven, in commemoration of the seven times the Hebraic hoit.s marched around Jericho. The number is, however, entirely optional, and. as a long order of exerches had to bo gone through, it was decided to lie satisfied with four. As the scrolls wore placed in the ark ltabbi chanted a hymn of glorification. The scrolls of the law are the live books of Moses written out on sheets of parchment and rolled round cedar cylinders.

Each cud of the scroll is fast to a cylinder and when the parchment in rolled up it is half on the one and half on the other and it is, therefore, easy i lay on tho reading desk and find anyde.sired chapter. When rolled up ready to tie put in the ark these scrolls are covered with handsomely einbioi lered bags, ho made that the top onds of the cvliuders protrude These ends are adorned by silver and gold caps bearing small bells, which ring as thoy are moved. The writing on the parchment, and everything else connected with the scrolls, are entirely done by hand and they are, consequently, very valuable and expensive. As soon as the doors of the ark were closed on the precious books of the law Mr. Phillips made a short address.

He was one of the Adams family which has given to America more political energy and public spirit than any other family of its recordod time. He was a second cousin to John Adams, his great oolaborer in the cause of independence, from whom ho differed widely during tlio Presidency of Washington and John Adams' own; differed as anti federalist from federalist, according to the misleading terminology of the time and as democrat from aristocrat. He was one of twelve children. like almost everybody in those times, and was born in Boston, September U7, 172:2. His mother was before him a Puritan of the strictest sort, his father a man of public spirit holding in succession and simultaneously many offices of public trust.

He was prominent in a club called the Caulkers, which was designed "to lay plans for introducing certain persons into places of trust and power." The father was a well to do merchant with a fine mansion on Purchase street, facing tho harbor, down to which sloped the extensive grounds. School street gets its name from tho school house where the littlo Sam attended, just back of King's chapel where Franklin's statue and the City Hall now stand. There is a story that he was so punctual iu his goings to and fro that the working people used him as a clock. Always so stoutly Puritan the wonder is that the "great awakening of Edwards and Wliitelield, which swept over New England iu his later youth, did not sweep him into the ministry, the destination then of the majority of Harvard boys and the future chosen for him by his parents. He graduated at Harvard in 1740, when Washington was 8 and John Adams 5 years old aud Jefferson had tliree years to tarry in the pre existent heavens.

That already, in 1743, ho was finding the place which ho was to till in his mi turor years is evidenced by his theme for the degree of M.

It is significant of a certain quality of prevision in the Harvard dons that John Adams' commencement part some fifteen years later was the only part assigned that was not theological.

Some few days afterward Rollings came to my house and almost ncared my wife to death by saying that Drummond was after mo for personating a Federal official.

He told me to keep quiet for a few days aud ho thought ho could 'Ux' it. I did stay in the house until he came again. Ho had been drinking, but was not drunk on his second visit. He wanted to borrow $10 with which to take Drummond off. for a good time.

I only had $:2 iu tho house and I gave him that. He told me a few days later that Drummond was still after me. I wrote a letter to the Long Island paper that had got me into trouble and another to Drummond, which I intrusted to Rellings, Rellings told mo who ho saw mo again that Drummond was not satisfied; he would investigate every story, and if what I said was true he would not prosecute mo.

The second annual exhibition of water colors and pastels at the Field gallery contains 111 pictures and forms a pleasant and well selected group. George F. Shelton's "Summer Morning is one of the strongost and ablest of the pictures, for it is painted in a positive manner, with energy, and is a record of first impressions.

Otto Wigand's "Brittany Itoad is an artistic bit, as are the study and "Fog off the Battery," by H. B. Knell. Irving Wiles' figure is somewhat less pleasing than his Venetian subject.

They are distant from us, vet we seem to feel their presence.

They may nave gone into tho heavens above and get to us. Though dead they still speak. This is pur fellowship with our God. Wo do not see His face, nor do we hear His voice, yet. with the inner eye and ear, wo both see Him and hear Him.

We dwell in the Iieulah land and there wc sing: "The Saviour comes and walks by me, And sweet communion here have we, He gently leads me with his hand, For this is heaven's border land." This fellowship is so intimate that Christ and our souls become one. "Thy maker is thy husband," says Isaiah. Our interests thus become identical with Christ's interests. We, therefore, are to havo fellowship with Him in His love. Wo love what He loves and wc hate what He hates.

Jesus loves His brethren, so tloos the saint in fel mighty. In short, since the destruction of the temple, the synagogue has been our only pride and our only patrimony. Well may He understand why the rabbis of the Talmud piaced so much importance on the visiting of the synagogue that they say "One who lives in a place where there is a synagogue and does not come to pray therein is called a bad neighbor." For in tlio synagogue the rich and the poor, the great scholar and the uueduoate.l mechanic concur in their faithful attachment to the spiritual continuance of the Mosaic institution. In ages and countries where bigotry and despotism ruled attempts wore contantly made to restrict the Jews from synagogue. But to day, and in a blessed country like ours, where we may with our neighbors breathe the air of freedom with heartfelt thanks to God and to those men who struggled for the freedom, wo lift up our voice, in open gates and say like our ancestors, "0, ye house of Israel! bless the Lord." We have assembled here to day to hang over our gate the same old ensign, "Baith Israel," and aH Solomon said when he consecrated tlio Temple we may say, "This house which I have built is called by Thy name." For the Scriptures is full and complete.

God has no more to say in regard to tho great salvation. You cannot add to it, and "Ho that takes from it shall take his namo from tho Book of Life." No more eomiiif. The old dispensation gave way to the new. but the new is not io give way. It is to bo tho new forever.

I desire to affirm the grand and procions fact that tho truths revealed in the life and teachings of Christ nre of sovereign power. Thoy go to the very root of moral consciousonss. They establish obligations upon immutable grounds, lifting them above the shifting ingenuity of human reason. 'I man in his highest possibilities God, His government and nature and immortality are revealed. We may not havo the full light of tho Bible.

Iu the process of thought and oxperienco more truths are coming out of the gospel, because they are there. The mighty robbings of nature so far have but surface scrapings of what yet is to be got of this material world. Let science go The church is not opposed to science but to the impertinence of science to tho mere scratching of the surface aud claiming that all is thus revealed. Let biblical research go on, but if not reverent it is only peeping and muttering. It is so easy to criticise; so easy for Inger soll to hurl invectives at the church, but how is he to build a bettor one? Let men beware how they criticise ti" Almighty.

Tho critics who tour scored in the first inning but for that unlucky throw by Captain Foutz and O'Brien's failure to catch Slnttery'H fungo hit an excusable error. That Lovett should causo tho Giants to draw a blank by masterly pitching directly after they had scored live runs on four hits was creditable to his nerve and coolness, for it is hist under such circumstances that half the pitchers get badly rattled. Tho splendid fielding done by Collins bore off tho palm in that respect in the game. It was masterly work, alko in judgment and aoti ity. Four outs and six fine assistances against such a batting team was a splendid record.

Bush ng's catching, too, was a feature and Pinkney did service in his position, as did Smith, with one costly exception which let iu a run. Foutz, too, playod his position finely, tho only drawback being that ono fatal error, while tho outfield was well covered by Corkllill, Burns aud O'Brien. Corkhill led at the hat, ho and Collins alone making safe hits. The New York reporters did not give Collin? a hit, they charging Hatfield an error failure to stop a ball which went to tho ground like 9 rifle shot. They gave Slattery a base hit for a similar hit.

The regular weekly meeting of tho Central Labor Union was held yesterday afternoon in the Labor Lyceum, Myrtle street.

Ralph Waldo Emerson has written, A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us that a higher law than that of our wdi regulates events; that our painful labors aro unnecessary and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong, and by contenting ourselves with obedience we become divine.

The man who always holds his private business subordinate to the public weal is not apt to make his malt house a success.

Twenty eight years have passed since in this city, this, tlio lirst edifice, was dedicated as a synagogue. It was then that the lirooklyn Jews wore not heard of abroad and had nothing to be proud of at home. Now they are recognized as active members of tile spiritual brotherhood at large and as an important link in the educational and charitable chain among their fellow citizens. Now, my friends, to what are you chiefly indebted for whatever makes you proud of your religious edifices and your charitable institutions Without hesi uion it may be answered, to the place which shelters yon now. The Judaic spirit which lurks in lie depths of your Jewish bosom would have remained cold and frozen had it not been awakened and enkindled by tho benign influence of this the lirst synagogue of Brooklyn.

The lirst stone which was placed in that corner, is not the cornerstone of this house only, bin it is the cornerstone of all (he sacred establishments the Brooklyn Jews arc and may justly be proud of. Let me say to those who ask, "What do wo want with a synagogue?" that the place where we gather for prayer is the loveliest spot on earth, it is our Eden, where we may speak face to face with God. In the moment of prayer we rest from care, emerge from the gulf of materialism, retire from the tumult of material life and become inspired with go lly love and intellectual concerns. This is, of course, an idle picture for those who imagine that there is nothing dearer than this lite, that man is no more than a iviined clay, that the soul is merely a focus of personality and that God is only man's magnified image in the sky. To them we can no more describe the value of the hour of prayer than paint their souls.

If children, then heirs, heirs of (Iod and joint heirs with Christ, if so be that we buffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him. We are heirs, then, if we suffer. This, then, was why suffering was welcomed by the great apostle, lie felt that instead of avoiding all heartache, "Though it throb at gentlest touch, Or sorrow's faintest cull, "1'were better it should ache too much Than never ache at all."

'The defeat will do the team no harm, nor will the loss of tho series, as thoir non success against the world's champions will be a powerful incentive to extra exertion in tho American championship campaign.

The New York batsmen have not faced such excellent battery work and fielding as tho Brooklyns gave them on Saturday since the first week of their series of contests with the St. Louis team last October. Thoy will not again defeat their opponents on Thursday aud Saturday next by any such figures as marked Saturday's contest. Lovett in this series will gain valuable experience and better results will ensue. Tho umpiring in this game was excellent, and it showed conclusively the value of tho double umpire system.

The scores of the exhibition games of the past week show very plainly that the new rules favor the batting decidedly. Out of fifty odd games played but one third were marked by single figure scores. One gamo was won hy thirty runs, eight by over twenty runs and twenty by double figures. Tho smallest scores wero thoso in which the Princeton College nino figurod so creditably. The duel actor in tins was antes utis, two years younger than Adams, who seemed for several years, to the historic muse, likely to dispute with Adams the honor of being Boston's foreniosi son in tho struggle for representation with taxation.

But he had little of Adams' steadiness of purpose, and even before his reason had been shattered by the blows showered on him in a coffee house brawl he was so moody and uncertain that it was often the most difficult part of Adams' work to wheel him into line. Long before the Revolution governments as day's work none but American citizens shall be employed. That in all contracts awarded to contractors by the city and county governments they shall specify said contracts that no contractor shall employ any person upon said city or county work who is not an American citizen. That upon all work done by the city and county governments as day's work, eight hours shall constitute a day's work; and in all contracts awarded hy the city and county it shall specify in said contract that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. Mr.

B. T. Degnan, a member of the Hat Finishers' Association, having tendered his resignation as a delegate to the Central Labor Union, to which he was attached for a number of years, the members id' that body thought that he ought to be recompensed in some manner for las past services in the causo of labor, so the following resolutions were drawn up by a committee, were handsomely engrossed and presented to Mr. Degnan yesterday: Whereas It is with feeling of pleasure that wo when a soul has bathed in the divine fountain ho will come forth to put on the armor. He will fight, but not the light of animosity.

Behold the mild, swoet and gentle Christ in the Temple. There is tho majesty of a frown upon Jehovah's brow as ho crios, "Woe! Woe!" The Son of God goes forth to war. Ho agonized for the faith. He proclaimed it. Wo are to have extreme care to possess it, to profess it, to live it, to be solicitous for its purity, to employ all empowers and influence in its maintenance, if necessary to suffer and die for it.

Never let it be our notions and opinions but the faith. Not sonic learned man's delinition or system, but the L.ith oueo for all. Always to the law and to the testimony alwavs, thus saith tho Lord. It is too precious to be 'sacrificed; too noble to bo vilified; too vital to be toned down or neglected. I am appalled at the ribaldry and trilling of men with tho divine things which belong to the price of our salvation.

It seems to me the church of the living God, which Ho bought with His own blood, was never more dangerously threatened than today. If it were the roaring lion I should not fear. The church has come to her power through blnnrl. slip nnlifts her glorious credentials by scape, while a sweet breath of Summer is caught in Theodore Kobinson's "On the Seine."

As one of the founders ol this synagogue, the lienor of addressing you is due not to me alone, lint to some others of our fellow members, especially to my esteemed friend and colleague, the vice president, who not only yielded his own aid toward keeping up this congregation for a period of twenty eight years, but also added to the list of our membership two gooil members, his own children, who became members of our congregation through his influence. He can relate to you more minutely how hard this congregation has had to struggle against those who cared more for fashion of the day th in for religion.

But. as one who has the satisfaction of seeing this congregation growing, 1 fool like saying that nothing can add more to my inward peace of uiin i than the promotion of orthodox Judaism at hn.v ainl the promotion of I hi congregation v. professes to he and to remain orthodox. A. president I am glad to accep! this benu'iful hoii which is now being dedicated to God's service, and in behalf of tlio congregation I extend the warmest thanks to the Building Committee, who have sacrificed much of their valuable time for the improvement of the synagogue and the benefit of the congregation.

I bid van all welcome to this house of Uod, wherein our pravers mav be aec 'lite 1 in love, and i lieg and trust that you will all extend your assistance for the permanent maintenance of this the lirst synagogue in this city. Kev. Dr. F. He Sola Mendes followed with a short discourse.

He took as his text, "If the Lord build not the house, in vain the builders and illustrated it by an allegory of the Medrash. He expressed his pleasure at being with the congregation on the lay of their rejoicing and participating in the pleasure of the newly restored house. It reminded him of the counsel given to the Hebrews who returned from Babylon, and set about restoring and rededicating tho Temple at Jerusalem. That exhortation was: Not by wealth, and not lie power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." It would lie their privilege and their happiness to conserve the spirit of (iod in that house, to look upon it as sacred ground, and enter there always with reverence and awe. Then, indeed, would the Lord help to build their lior.se and guard their citadel well.

An address in German, tho native language of at least half the congregation, was delivered by Dr. Maisner. lie took his text from Genesis, xxxii: 2 7: "What is thy name? And he said Jacob. Then he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel for thou hast contended with (iod and man and hath prevailed," and said among other tilings: These feiv lines of Scripture contain tho outlines of the history of our nation as well as of tho history of devotion. We take these two parts to gother, for in the development of our nation they are only one.

The sublime idea of the only (iod, as reveale to our ancestors, gave birth to our nation and brought forth at the same time places of sanctuary and worship. As far back as the timo of our lirst ancestors there was a knowledge of a God and murks of religious feelings. and Abel were o.l'ering sacrifices to the invisible God. These feeble leniinienls experienced by but a chosen few, were converted into the purer and higher conception of God as revealed by Him to Abraham. That same pure sentiment of religious devotion remains in the hearts of our nation to this day.

The light kindled by our ancestors became the everlasting light. Abraham teaches us how to worship iod. Willi what a world of submission and modesty does he say when pleading for the preservation of Sodom and Gomorrah: "I am only dust and mortal. Let mo find grace in thine ejes." Our sages say Abraham was the founder of the morning prayers, which is to say ho taught mankind to pray. He taught how to approach the Almighty God.

But not only the spiritual part of our nation is recognized to day, but also our social and com soloists and choristers from other Catholic monument of once glorious powers and possibili ties. Those powers and possibilities were never churches of the city rendered efficient aid in marines. 11. M. Sliurtleff's landscape schemes arc good but his color inclines somewhat to weakness.

The previous year the Navigation laws hail been revived. For ono thing they forbade the importation of West India products. Writs of assistance were issued, which empowered the Customs ofticeis to search for smuggled goods. It was against thoso writs of assistance that Otis made his first great spoech.

He had been advocate general, and as such it had fallen to him to defend the writs of assist sin jit' and a chorus of thirty voices, assis' 1 a string orchestra, rendered the music all 'he and grand.

To them I say if you wish to secure this comfort to your children keep up the place of worship which is essential to religion. But I must not forget there are even among regular synagogue visitors who think no more of a place of worship than of any other public place, Let me, therefore, before I quit, impress upon your minds that we dedicate this house as a place wherein nothing but divine service shall bo performed and wherein the word of God shall be expounded. We consecrate this place as our sacred fountain from which strength may flow, which shall tend to constantly keep alive our ardent zeal as steadfast adherents to our law and our religion.

And if in the hour of communication between us and our Maker we will, as our religious code teaches, keep the eye downward and the heart upward," wo will feel it our duty to put happiness, refinement and civilization within the reach of every fellow man. If from this place men and women will leave with the determination to be henceforth free from moral delinquencies, and if visiting the synagogue will have that much to be desired and blessed effect, wo mav rightly claim that this house is our temple and our prayer our saeritiecs, and the question as to whether the temple of Israel was totally destroyed mav be answered in the negative. Hay this congregation continue worthy of its name. May the Alniightv King keep awake in our breasts the living tires of our holy faith. May the most merciful Father who freed our nation from so many dangers and snares shed his spirit through every heart, so that prejudice may vanish and peace reign.

John Adams heard tho speech, and writing of it afterward said, "Then and there the child Independence was born." The same chum has been made for a hundred other events, and with as little jnstilication. Otis never favored independence.

But in that speech he formulated an idea which was no stranger to Colonial thoughts, "Taxation without representation is That was a good cry, and how it rang for the nex1; fifteen years! The writs of assistance and the elotiuence of Otis did not bring to birth tho child Independence. That birth was far remote, undreamed of yet even by Samuel Adams. But the writs of assistance were the lirst of a series of attempts by tho homo government to tax tho colonies tor the benefit of tho mother country or for tho assertion of a principle which Georgo III. never gave up. The next act iu the series was the Stamp act.

In Mav. 17U4, the town meeting appointed its usual committee to instruct its representatives. Samuel Adams I rail by this time acquired an enviable reputation for his skill in drafting papers and tho drafting of the instructions fell to him.

inere are inuemiieH in iiiueii one iivim ia niimu to counterbalance another by Adjustments of pulleys. God, brethren, gives us the privilege of using the consecrated pulleys of faith, so that the more heavily and quickly our trials bear down upon us the more certainly and the more speedily wo are lifted up to God. Mother never lifted a weeping babe more gently to her bosom than God lifts to his heart of comfort our mourning souls. Instead of sorrow and trial causing separation between the soul and God the fellowship is made the more manifest. The dark cloud of affliction never comes but behind it is the sun of righteousness with healing in his wings.

Soon the cloud breaks, and then through the rift shines the clear light made more glorious because the tear drops separate it into the gorgeous rainbow hues that span the heavens to make the beauteous bow of promise. This fellowship or partaking is in its nature organic. We are organically united to Christ. He said: "1 am the vine, ye aro the blanches." The Holy Spirit says: are the body of which Christ is the head." Hence Paul declares of himself: "I live, yet not but Christ that liveth in me." Now, then, let us ask, with a fellowship that is bv nature personal, intimate, organic, what aro the'eoiiditions bv which this fellowship may be hindered or helped'; Since this fellowship is brought to us by the Holy Spirit, it therefore follows that hindrances will consist of anything which grieves Him. We cannot persist in easily besetting and yet hope for the blessings of the fellowship with the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

Our hearts cry, "The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne And worship only The worldly mindedness, which we arc not accustomed to call by so severe a name as sin, must bo overcome. Here wo will find many of tho littlo foxes that spoil the vines. Contact with the world affects the purest and most Christiiko lifo. Tho (lowers in the garden by the roadside aro beautiful. Their silver white and pearly blue and flaming scarlet are delightful colors, but tho wind blows from the dusty road that which tarnishes and at times well nigh ruins their beauty.

Contact with the world will tarnish us. It is a hindrance, but it is a hindrance that may be changed into a help. The helps begin with prayer. And this means more than the formal petition. We are to live in an atmosphere of prayer.

The news of the passage of the Stamp act arrived in Boston in the Spring of and as tho Summer warmed so did the opposition, till in August Andrew Oliver, the stamp distributor, was hung in eltigy, and Hutchinson, lieutenant governor, a very noble gentleman, had his line mansion gutted and then burned a shameful business, which Samuel Adams had no part.

I lie movable sauct uafiy of olden times is a correct picture of tho forn.ier social relations of our people to other nations.1 A cloud rested upon them and a continual lire, outvied around them. The cloud of the darkest misfortunes and the tire of prejudice and intolerance. Israel was condemned, like our forefathers in the Wilderness, to wander from one place to the other without rest or joy. Of tho common rights, of man he was robbed, from all society repulsed. Ail the higher branches of art and science were closed to him and the lire of hate, prejudice and rtlatider was directed against him.

Still the house. of Israel was not destroyed, for Israel is like the bush in the prophet's vision which burned in a flame of fire, hut was not consumed. And what ga' our people the spiritual power to overcome all those trials 7 The house of worship, the Beth Israel. The house of Israel, the house or worship. When the liomans tool; possession of our country anil dispersed our people Beth Israel still remained hhc house of God.

Wherever tho Jew found a resting place he erected a house for his Uod and house was his refuge where he prayed' and jried and found consolation and satisfaction for ill his sorrows ami halm for his nainful wounds, Mid there, also, was he encouraged fov the honor his people and his God, to die, if need be, tho death of the martyr and the saint. Therefore, my brethren, hail to this day, ha.il and praise to the nations. Glory to our God that our name is no more Jacob, the wanderer and hated one, but Israel, the conqueror.
