In introducing Rabbi Levy the Rev. - 'Tr. Albert O. Dlffenbach, pastor of the " -Church of the Ascension, said that the , 'time had come for the consideration of the universal essentials of religion, and that it was fit that the noted Jewish , 'leader should be the speaker, because he had taken such a prominent part in - 'Interpreting religion in accord with the 'Catholic and cosmopolitan spirit of the Jtirae. , , Voices Demand for Unity. In the course of - his remarks the .rabbi aaid: "I do not Indulge the belief that the " time is at hand when men are about to drop their sectarian differences and ,' dogmatic beliefs. "The era of synthesis jnust be preceded by a long period of -analysis. I recognize the need of dlf ' ferent party-alignments, and I realise' ' ;the necessity of variation of forms to meet ihe requirements of - varying na--tures, temperaments, tastes, states of 'education and civilisation -among men. "Far be It from me to argue for uni formity; such an appeal would be in j direct opposition to tod'a law and the1 -methods of nature.. " "My emphasis is placed on unity, not ''uniformity.- Underlying all forms, be neath all manifestations., there is an eternal reality -essential truth. While "'the- method of expressing that truth may vary, there Is comparative una nimity concerning the truth itself. ' "Jews and Christians believe In a Ood, infinite and eternal. They accept the binding character of the moral law. ; They agree on the duty of exercising charity and the need of displaying af fectionate justice toward all men.

"The latter are fences, and it la well said that fences close out more than they can close in: while the former are bridires which enable men to hold free and acceptable intercourse with one an other, to go about doing good, and to ate in ail good works which may a the aeneral uullfL The fences divide the community, only too often, into warring-camps; the, bridges admit the possibility of a fraternity which ma v Derform the will of the universal father.

Toklo, Nov.- 18. It was learned here today from 'a high official source at Pekln that, the dowager, empress of China died suddenly ' last Saturday morning at 2:30 o'clock and that the death of the emperor occurred after the death of the empress. . The announcement was made by an official of ' the Imperial government. who stated that the dowager empress. Tsze Hsi An, had died Saturday morn Inn and that the emperor had died Sat urday evening at I o'clock. It Is strongly suspected here that both the Chinese rulers were murdered, either directly or by slow poisoning. It is known that the emperor and the dow ager empress had not been friendly for ytmrm, eeuiuse 01 uie progressive tend encies of the emperor. It Is thought here that both rulers died as the result of an elaborate web of Intrigue that has been woven with Chinese patlenoe in the celestial court for many years. An Imperial edict issued today pro claimed Prince Ch'un, the brother of the dead emperor, regent of China, and Pu Yi, his son, the emperor.

It is not my aim that this, or any other community, sheAild be less Chris tian, but more so. - In the light of this cooperative creed Jew and Christian could walk, aide by side, working to gether for good, inspired to mutual service, united in every good cause which of right appeals to the con science and reason of the children of the one Father eternal.

An effort to have the federal government take a hand in the bollermakers and machin ists' strike on the Denver A Rio Orande railroad by seeking the cancellation of the mail contracts on the ground that the railroads cannot maintain mail train schedules, will be made by the delegates to ths American Federation of Labor convention here tomorrow or Wednesday. It is stated that the bad condition of the locomotives of the Denver & Rio Orande due to the strike makes It Impossible to maintain a schedule In conformity with the mail contract with the government, and the postofflce authorities will bo asked to cancel the contract. The convention settled 'down to bard routine business this morning, so that a sine die adjournment can be taken either Friday or Saturday. Today's deliberations of the conven tion will be devoted almost exclusively to Jurisdictional disputes between or ganizations belonging to the federation, it Is probable that national officers will be nominated Thursday.
