f 4 ' TTTE aiORyTXG OREGPyiAy. SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1914. . . - . - 1 A i I SYNAGOGUE MARKS ITS 25TH BIRTHDAY Notable Religious Ceremony Is Held by Congregation A - Beth Israel. RABBI MEYER IS ELOQUENT Jewish People Are Urged to Bear to World the Religion and! Culture of Judaism With Greater Unity and ZeaL Oldest among- the religious organiza tions of Portland, in point of continu ous existence, the Congregation Beth Israel last night held special services In their synagogue commemorative oi the twenty-fifth anniversary of its dedication. Choral ceremonies were an impres sive feature of the services, a special choir, augmented for the occasion, rendering this part of the programme. Rabbi Martin A. Meyer, of Emanu El Synagogue, of Ban Francisco, delivered the anniversary address, which was a stirring call to the congregation for continued unity and seal in "bearing to the world those things which Juda ism and the religion and culture of Judaism alone are able to give." "We celebrate tonight," he said, "not the mere material fact that these walls of brick and stone have stood for 25 years; we celebrate, rather, a spiritual faot that has persisted through those years and is persisting and will per sist for countless years to come." Rabbi Meyer earnestly urged to his audience the carrying of their religion always into dally life and activities. "When the time comes that we can confine religion to the four walla of a , synagogue or of a church and can di vorce religion from life and life from religion, then I believe that we shall be ready to write the epitaph of man. Synagogue Cannot Stand Aside. "The synagogue cannot stand by, to day any more than any church can stand aside, and not throw itself Into the solution of the burning questions that are being hurled into our Uvea This may not be easy, but if the syna gogue is to serve it must be able to bring an answer to the problems of life. A religion that confines Itself to a Sunday school or to a church or to any place or boundary is half a relig ion: it is religion masquerading. "The times no longer are satisfied with mere negation of things. They de mand positive affirmations. The old, selfish, individualistic ideas of years past are giving way to a better and broader view." Rabbi Meyer declared that the need of the day is not consideration of minor forms or ceremonials,-but a broad and full realization of the under lying truths that have made Judaism one of the most powerful and vital in fluences, religious and ethical, that has moulded the growth, not only of the Jewish people, but of the peoples of the entire world. Sigmund Sichel, president of the congregation, following the prelimi nary ceremonies of the evening, gave, a short address of greeting .and the Rev. Robert Abrahamson gave the scripture reading. Rabbi Jacob Bloch. formerly rabbi of the Congregation Beth Israel, spoke remlniscently of the founding and de velopment of the congregation in these years past. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, head of the Free Synagogue in New York, was the only one of the three rabbis who have headed Beth Israel who was not able to be at the cere monies. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, present head of the congregation, and D. Soils Cohen, preceded Rabbi Meyer's address. Mr. Cohen in his address touched upon some points similar to those dealt with by Rabbi Meyer, pointing out the Important part that religion and re ligious congregations seem destined to play in the solution of the problems that beset the people of the present generation. Rabbi Wise Closes With Sermon. Rabbi Wise himself closed the ad dress of the evening with a simple sermon, bearing in it the thought of helpfulness and Bervlce as the spirit . v. . itnv. Tnnn thA svnaeocue of Beth Israel and the hearts of Its peo ple. Dr. T. L. Eliot gave the closing benediction. Members of the choir that served at the ceremonies last night were: E. E.

"I believe in the Prohibition party and intend to vote the Prohibition ticket, because I think the Prohibition party is the only party, every member of which is a voter for principle," said H S Stine. of Medford, Senatorial nominee. "I am not a Prohibition Democrat or a Prohibition Republican, because I don't think there can be such a thing." National Prohibition Urgred. Mr. Stine added that, though he was for precinct, county and state prohibi tion always, he considered National prohibition the only solution of the liquor problem in the United States. The main address of the evening was made by W. S. U'Ren, the Prohibition candidate for Governor. "Let me say, to begin, that I want to be Governor." said Mr. U'Ren. in part. "There are a lot of other things I want, but I do especially want this office, for I think I can do many things for your benefit If I am Governor for four years. "I want it, first, to enforce prohibi tion laws, and second, as a pulpit from which I can preach National prohibi- tlllr U'Ren denied that prohibition could be a moral question and not a political question also. "All the good morals I know are good politics, too, he asserted. Continuing, he referred to his plan for furnishing state employment at road-making, so that any man want ing a Job could have one. He said that there should also be employment for women. He proposed in this connection that the state should provide employ ment at the minimum wage fixed for women, which would compel private employers to pay at least as much to their women employes. Conference Ends Today. "Then we'will have a minimum wage law that will work," he said. Mr. U'Ren explained that he would raise the money for state employment pur poses through an Inheritance tax on estates of the dead. "I think we can not only reduce state taxes, but per haps support the state altogether on Inheritance taxes." he concluded. The Prohibition training conference will end with morning and afternoon sessions today at Prohibition party headquarters In the Behnke-Walker building. Fourth and Yamhill streets. Addresses will be made by Ernest B. Taylor, Curtis P. Coe and F. W. Em erson. In a discussion of "Practical Poll tics" at the afternoon session, W. S. U'Ren reviewed the political situation in Oregon for the last 30 years. He declared that the day of corruption in politics was past, and said that in the last 10 years he knew of only three cases in the Legislature in which bribery could be even suspected. Mra Lucia Faxon Additon occupied a W. C. T. UT hour with a talk on "Labor and Prohibition." In the morning E. A. Rowell, state publicity agent for the Prohibition party, advised the workers to be in teresting. He said that if they did not succeed in getting proper publicity it would be their own fault, as the pa pers, regardless of editorial policies, were always willing to give space to news of interest. "In spite of what they think," he said, "they will print any thing that has news value. Your no tices must be of timely importance or have unusual features." Other speakers Included A J. Bolster, on "Our Party Principles; Why a PartyT"; R, G. Sumerlin, on "Organi zation: Its Importance"; Jeff Irish, on "Our Attitude Toward Other Organisa tions"; S. W. Grathwell and Professor F. W.

Two Brothers Say Will Do Chorea or Pick Berries if Only Home Farmer Will Take Them. While the lure of the country under any conditions is strong for city-bred children, there are at least five boys under the care of the Associated Chari ties who are anions to make their own way in their fresh-air outing this year, instead of being a charge against the fund raised for that purpose. Two brothers, Ernest and Artnur, aged 13 and 11, made the first applica tions for work on tarms tor tne Bum mer. Ernest is especially eager to get on a place where there are animals. He was the lad who last year lugged his pet rabbit all the way to Silverton, be cause he could not bear to be sepa rated from it, even for a fresh air out ing. The rabbit was killed by a cat last Winter and now Ernest wants to go where there are horses and calves and chickens to be petted. He and his brother declare that they can pay their way by picking berries and doing chores, if only they can find some farmer who Is willing to take mem for the Summer. Two pals. Joe. aged 14, and Frank, aged 13. followed the application of the two brothera They want to go together and spend the whole Sum mer in the country by working their way. While Secretary V. R.

I. W. W. URGES ONE UNION Artur Glovannitti Say9 Capital and Labor Truoe Impossible. "There can be no peace, no truce, no harmony between the master, or capi talist, class, and the working class until one or the other has been re moved from the earth or until one has absorbed the other."
