Kabbi Wise, true to his ideals, is do ing his bit for the country, not merely by speaking from platform and pulpit, but in furnishing a living example of his .doctrines by going to work in. the shipyards With his son James he goes to the plant with the rest of the work ers- at 7 o'clock In the morning and quits with the rest after a full day's work In the heat and It - Is hot In Stamford. He preaches that every one should do his best to assist the country in car rying on the war programme, and then he lends a hand himself to show his congregation how the thing is done. When he received his first week's pay he turned It over to the man in the shipyard who was most in need of it. both charity and patriotism Rabbi Wise practices what he preaches. In Portland. Rabbi lae was known as a good epeaker, a good rabbi, a good reformer and a good comrade. It Is in the last rapacity that he shines in the Connecticut shipyards. ."Good scout," "regular fellow." are the words with which the shipyard workers char acterize the New York rabbi. Rabbi Wise was in Portland at th Temple Beth Israel for six years. Dur ing five of those years he was actually engaged in preaching; the .sixth, he spent in European travel. When he re turned to Portland he received a call from the Temple Emanrdel In' New York City, which has the largest-congregation in the world, but he turned it down in favor of another call from the Free Synagogue, where lie felt he could have more freedonj of speech. - His first words in New York were that he in tended , to, have an . unshackled; un muzzled pulpit, and much to the. sur prise of the city he has lived up to his assertion ever since he went there. During- the Lewis and Clark Fair In Portland Rabbi Wise was- heard visitors from ail parts, of the United States and added to his National' repu tation as a forceful' and brilliant Speaker.
