The pulpit of Temple Beth Israel was made vacant by the resignation of Rabbi Stephen Wise, the present pastor, who will leave for New York, there to start up an Independent Jewish church.

Through his efforts the magnificent new temple at the corner of California and Webster streets, the finest -structure of Its kind anywhere on the Coast, was recently completed. He Is an advanced thinker and at his church has been given a freo rein of speech. Should he accept a call to Portland his place In San Francisco will be difficult to fill. Rabbi Nieto said to a representative o The Oregonlan that' he had received no offer as"yet from the Temple Beth Israel of Portland, and until the offer was made he couldsnot tell whether he would ac cept it. - "'I like San Francisco very much," he said, "and hare a host of-vcry dear. friend hero. My Wife's health Is such thai it would take a very strong In ducement for me to leave Not long ago I received an offer to take a Chicago pulpit at a large salary and refused it, partly on her account. No,' X will not say that I would go to Portland, for I have received no offer and I could not speak Intelligently until I was given notice." Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of Temple Beth Israel, when Informed of the con tents of the foregoing dispatch, said that no call to the pulpit of Beth Israel Con gregation had yet been made by the board of trustees. rjERIXCTION AT IAST.
