Lecture of Rabbi Jacob Feurelicb! at the Lin
den S'.reet Temple.
UNWISE TO CHANGE TO SUNDAY
Christians Erected a Barrier from
Jews by Changing the Sabbath from
the Seventh to the First Day of the
Week All the Associations, Prac
tices and Principles of Judaism
Vould Be Sacrificed by a Change.
Rftbbl Jacob Feurelicht lectured last
night at tne Linden Street temple on
tbe advisability of changing the Jew
lota S.ibimth from Saturday to Sunday.
Additional interest Was added to tiie
subiact from the fact that at a recent
debate of the Culture societv, the ques
tion of lnulnng tbe change was deoided
In the affirmative. Btnrrlng to this
decision Rabbi Fourlicbt introduced bis
remarks by saying:
This induced me to select for the subject
fot my lectors this same iuetlon. We
Cannot Stand idly by when uch (U'-'tkms
lire agitating tbe mind of our youth. I.
as your rabbi, cnuuot remain indifferent
or silent when qMStlOM are raised which
I oi. corn the honor, the mission, nay, the
very life and existence I f all Israel.
The Sabbath is the mam pillar of Juda
ism. Like the uuity of Clod, the Sabbath
forms a part of the coveuant ou Bloat. As
molality derives its sanctity from Ood, so
does purity of life find its ftreiigth in the
Sabbath, Without the Sabbath Judaism
is ii religion without tlol, a life without a
s; int. The state could never endanger
i lie vitality, the hoe and vigor of the
Jew H ui es the general neglect of the
sabbath today. 1 na violation of the Snb
bath in coineii'jence . f the pressure of
oomn Sfcial competition robbed the Jew
i f his Idea ism. loot ened his family tie; it
materialized the Jew.
lAIl.t'IlK WITH NOTED RABHI3.
More than fifty years ago the question
bow to rescue the Ssbbaiu and with the
Babbath the cans of Judaism, was the
grave object under di9cusaiou m the con
ference of rsform rabbis in Qsrtnany,
Then already the trauafor ot tbe Sabbath

rabbis- The Sabbath wbicii is allowed to

it. By v iv Of cotupromiso tbe iu
trodnotion of laddittona) Sunday Hrvices
was proposed, but this was also
defeated. I n Berlin Ueform congrega

Kinuorn's proposal of b.ddiug San-

"Every attempt to elevate the Monday to
tbe dignity of a solemn day of worship
will hasten the uef-'al of the nsitorical
sabbath. Tbe radical cure of a tramfer of
l!i.' Sabbath to Suuday, however, tt aside
of the impossibility of a trausplantatiou of
tne Jewisu sentiment counectod with the

is a surrender ta tbe conflict of ilea rui-

Mr Kobier. rabbl of Temple Beth-El
of New York, one of th" tnot learned

It you want to test the worth of an action
try to recognize tho underlying principle
and aim that produce It, or observe tho
consequences thereof, it cannot be denied
that Sunday servile has the tendency to
v. ak"ii the hold of the ancient Sabhatli
and sooner or later also of the other boll
days and commandments of tho Jew until
nothing will be left except a nuked theism
which in time will make an alliance with
free religionism and will become a religion
without a uoa.
IT I'AILKD IN OBIOAQO,
To verify mv iiSM-rli .n I I givevoii
Instanoe winch i a well known fact. The
Sinai congregation of Chicago was the
lirst in this country which Introduced Sun
duy services. At tho einne time tbe main
leiinnce of the regular Snbbath service wi
made the condition of tbe inovatlou. The
movement seemed to be very reasonable
and meritorious. Tuey said: quite a num
ber of people are nimble to attend divine
services on Sabbath why should they not
be offered bii Opportunity to snlisfy their
desire for a spiritual elevation But
alas I heboid the cousequeucosl A fow
years later the ancient Sabbath was
btm ruled out. Tbe Sabbath Is deBd!
Died of consumption. This was th offi
cial burial permit for the old Jewish Sab
bath lsi-ued by tbe spiritual leader of that
congregation. One year later the presi
dent of that congregation proposed nlso
to transfer nil the Juwish holidays to Sun
day as the most convenient day for divine
sorvioe. And It wa merely logical con
sistency on his part, although he was then
defeated by a few votes, but it is only a
question of t ime when his ndvico will be
lollowed. The Hebrew prayer book was
abolished, all Biblical and traditional rites
and customs were unuuled. Ono relic re
muinad in their synagORUP, the sacred
scroll, although it was not used
any more, lUU it reminded them
ou the past, mid tb;it they were Jews,
but at last this was n'.so thrown out to
gether with the holy ark.
SUNDAY
AUB.V.H MOVUMLNT.
A few weeks ago 1 received a circular let
ter which, I presume, was tout to all min
isters. Iu this letter tbe suggestion is
made to establish anew religion called
Unlon-creedj it is signed by free-thinkers
and loaders of ethical culture, and also by
the rabbi of the Sunday Sabbath congre
gation. These aro the eonaequenooi Of the
Sunday Sabbath movement. And still
there are some even in onr midst who co
incide with that radienl divine to trnusfer
the Sabbath to Sunday, declaring the old
Sabbath to bo dead. What right to justice
have those Sunday apostles to call tbe old
Sabbath dead? If tho Sahbatb is
dead in ono congregation, that does
not signify its total extinction.
Let them look at the Sabbath as it. is kept
at largo by Israel 01 today and they will
retract their statement that tho Sabbath
is dead.
Numbers, nhvavstoil the truth. Count
ing all the Jew of Asia, Africa, Europe,
America to Australia, wo will find that at
least 70 per cent, still observe the Sabbath
with ancient revorenco and piety, and of
tho remaining 30 per cent, who do not
keep the Sabbath not a tenth part is will
ing to exchange tbe Sabbath for tue Sun
dav.
Daly a few years ago the new Turkish
Synagogue was dedicated at Viotinn. The
majority ot tho members of that synago :ue
are moiioy-kings iu the gay caiiiial of
Austria. TI.ey have built this house

that great wealth can secure.

of rich marble aud gorgeous gildings.
I'hey have uti'.i.ed the latest acieutiti,' uu-

as one of the grandest achievement' of
architectural skill And what is more.
there is no mortgage ou it. At the dedica
tion they owed not a ceut.and that I more
thuu can be sai l of most synagogue . m
tins country. And with all this splendor
and beauty and modern luxury, and wilh
all their intelligence, with all their Indi-
lual culture and itches, the members of
thut synagogue keep Iho Sabbath intact
not only lu theory but also m Dractice.
I'hey obrve the Sabbath strictly as their
ancestors did one tlioiisind of years ag
iocs that look as if the Sabbath was de 1 1
Similar congregation mav bs f iund iu
nearly every large city of KuroH The

If the BOn-obserVaUotl of the individual

It Is commonly known that the Jewish
iabbath was observed as aday of rest and
edification by Cbtlsteudom until BU
A. I It was hatred that caused
tbe change of the Sabbath from
tbe seventh to the first day of the week,
in order to have nothing in common with
Israel. And now shall we imitate onr
Imitators Will the change of tln Sabbath
remove the hatred and prejudice that atill
exist against the Jow Will It roo-
vluco our fallow citizens of our
loyalty to religion aud state
Why, the progressive Jew is most
liable to tbe charge of disloyalty and la
tldelism.
1 preeO me von have read the letter
which Bar, Father Ignatius, of Ufale,
wrote last month to the Jewish World, of
londoii; It was ptibllehed iu most of the
Jewish weeklies here. That gentleman
being at tbe World's fair, vinted ;he Sinai
temple, in Chicago, and had a religious
conversation with the rabbi of that tem
ple, whom he calls an arch heretic and a
real atheiit, and expresses i.i- astonish
ment and grief that the Amorican Jews
have given up tbe whole of historic Juda
ism and l divinely revealed religion.
A change of the Sabbath would surely bj
regarded by cur Christian nrlghtnr a a
cowardly Surrender, or as a compromise
with tli ranug church. No, a thou
sand tlmse no. Our duty today is
to maintain onr Jewish identity
and to preserve our Jewish Sabbath with
out faltering, Without yielding.
We admire tho efforts of the late organ
ized Sabbath association, the members of
which nre the most prominent rabbis aud
laymen, of New York. The aim of this so
ciety is to restore the ancient Jewish Sab
bath to Its glory. All we can say Is that
we wilh sincerely that success may crown
their noble efforts. We used such socloties
in every city. The time has arrived for a
universal ctTort to reconquer tho lost Sab
bath of the Jew Wo cannot but gain lu
the world's ropect, lu our own self -esteem,
by a restoration of tho Jewih Sabbath
And instead of lessening Ha powoifui
bold upou th" people reformed Juda
ism must do it h utmost to atreug' li
eu its oauae. The very namo of
reform evinces a desire for reviving, not
for destrryiug the e.-'outial of religion.
TrUS progress lies not in abolishing, but in
improving the ceremonies of religion, and
in making snub improvements that will
tei.d to strengthen the religious leollng of
tbe people. The question of form and re
form should not interfere im matter per
taining to the very essence and vitality o
the Jew.
now TO Kltl I' TBI
liAY BOLT.
The Sabbath must again bo rendered the
great ednoator and Instructor of the Jew;
and if circumstances hinder us rrom giving
the Sabbath the required sanctity, let us
do everything in our power to make tho
Sabbath evu ngaiu resplendent with its
charm and iutter. The Friday evening
w as always the Jtwtah fountain of joy,
From Its crystal waters the nllllcted
and persecuted Jew drank and tolt re
freshed and strengthened. The domestto
virtues of the Iowa were cultivated at tbe
feHtive board Upon which tho Snbbath
lamp cast its radianciv We sorely irnud u
revival of the Jewish family pride, it
household reunion every Friday evening,
as breakers against tho treacherous pillars
of the clubhouse wilh it life devouring
whirlpool. O frlonds, let us rolnstltute
tbe Sabbath queen in her bridal garb ou
Friday oveuing. We will llud In It that
consolation that soothes the troubled
heart; it will regulate aud moderate our
lives, aud wo will attain real joy and truo
happiness.
As the conclusion, I would say a few
words to our dear ladies: It is deplorable
enough that we men have the excuse.
We cannot help it, circumstences compol
us to violate tbe Sabbath. But yonr
children ought to bi made awaro that
they can and must keep the Sabbath holy.
Give tho Sabbath a friendly welcome in
your homes. Show your children a differ
once between Sabbath and week days.
Give a good examplo to your growiug sons
and daughters. Let tbero be au air of
peace and huppiness in your homes, show
ing to the visitor that the Sabbath is not
dead, at least not in your homes. Hake
your homo on Friday evening especially
bright, cheerful and attractive. Mako
your bosbnuds, sons nud brothers think
"that home is tho best placo on earth, not
tho club.

JESUS THE IDEAL IN
President Harris, of
Huckiiell, Fills
s Pulpit.
Rev,
HE PREACHED AN ABLE DISCOURSE
Mentally Jesus Is the Highest Typo of
Manhood and Morally He Is the
Ideal Man Courage, an Element of
Manliness, Was Perfectly Embodied
in the Character of tho Divino Son
of God All Should Learn It.
Rev. John H. Harris. D.D.. Dreiidsnt
of Buckuell university, oconpled th 3
pulpit of the Penn Avenue Baptist jg
ennren at doiu strvicts yeiteraay. '
text in tho morning was, "What Think
Ye of Christ? Whose Son Is Hv They
Ssy Unto Him, the Sou of Dsvid." Tbe
speaker said :
Jesus is in character tbe Idtal man. Be
ing mutt be the true ground of seeming,
elue seeming it unreal. Life mutt b the
spilng of activity, or activity is merely
mechanism. Love mutt bo tbe root of
morality or morality it more formalism.
Reality, life, love three are tbe substance
of manhood. Before, then, we Inquire what
a man it In hi relations, we must inquire
tt l. .it l.u is in hlmtulf.
Mentally Jesus it the bighojt type of
manhood. He has a tirm grasp on reality.
He sees thing:, as they are. Men aro liable
to illusions illusions from reverence for
great name, or fioiu disregard of nil
authority; illusions from roapecl for tbe
pastor from contempt fur it; illusions
from idanlificattou with parly, or froui
notation Jesmrltea above all Illusion
and grasps reality. He face toward tbe
future yet does not break with tbe past,
lie Inucntifie" himself even with the Jews

mind lelSet the umveital. Tue precept of
the aeiuioii on the mount are for ull
tunes, all places. There is scarcely uny
lornl coloring in it. Peoples of all lauda
ran understand its allusion. The power
d Jesut mental grasp It shown in the
limpid simplicity of hi utterances. We
fail to recognize the drift of Hit teachings,
beCSUSS they are so cltar. St there is no
UttSrsaoSOO practical morality that can
tie placed beside Ills. This is true also of
His other discourses. Compare w ith any
ite r ((imposition, the discourse to tha
disciples on the night laifore the cruet Ui
. in, In Its profound reach of thought, its
Simplicity and gi undent of expression; or
the intercessory prater in WblCb, 'if any
where in human tueech, divinity i mam
fest," and you will Im constiaiued to joiu
iu the Verdict of the olttcers.
Tilt Al I'REIIENS-ION OF TftOTI
Never man spoke like this msn. Hit
was tbe intuitiuu of pur eouL Itiiau
i. lustration of the fact that the spprsbsn
lon of the truth I ethical. No truth ba
been ditcoVred by a nun morally impure.
Men who love the truth nnd do the truth.
Will know tne truth. A loan cannot ou
day accept and utter a falsehood, aud the
nest day find bis apprehension of truth a
boiraa lufore. If a man bows to have
v u.hington'a lucid, aim t Infalllblt jsdg
eat, he must like Washington, from
ohildnood OB, sssk sud do the trutu. For
the impure soul bee ne s ti e blind sou!
Purity of heart, llMSTity of purpose,
uuaelfiihiiea, make men such a was Llu
coin, alight and leader of the age; selfish.
Dee, falsehood, ambition, will obscure and
dull the brightest intellect, at intheiase
of Bonaparte, totucha degree that men
una- qnaiuted with Iks ultimate relation
of the intellectual aud ethical, ttand
atuazrd at tbe fully into whicn a man of
M high mental powers can plongS, But

Proftsior Harris continued his dis
