over the wicked and godless. But my brethren, let us not be of their opinion; lotus not appear on this day oi New Year as well as on tho Day of Atonement before the great God as hypocrites 1 dissemblers, manifesting devotion and liety only because of finding mercy in the sight of the Almighty, while after those days have passed our religiousness vanishes -like a shadow. Lot us not think on this day of New Year of 'acquiring the Lord's grace by a superficial piety which many show by -attending the divine scryicd and listening to the captivating songs which arc heard in the House oi God. It is true that hymns nnd prayers aro to divine service. 3iit they are not tho means itself which can 'bring usori tho way of salvation on, tho road which-leads' to happiness.

showinc tho great interest the iuembers take in the prosperity of their congregation. PrrrsnuitG, Pa. Nothing can bo more un pleasant to us than to chronicle a schism in a congregation. Wo desire peace, union, and harmony. Yet such a schism has taken place in Pittsburg.

A new congregation Emanuel has been inaugurated, and feel ings run high as usual on such Each party, in such cases, is exclusively right, and the opponent absolutely wrong-ami none can change that opinion. We have studiously abstained from writing publicly on the subject, or answering any private letter. AVe have no opinions to offer, no more interests to protect than every other Israelite, and desire peace and union in Pittsburg as anywhere else among our friends. Still wo believe in justice to both parties, and especially to our readers; wo must report the case, and wo do it in the words of tho local organ and a very fair one at that the Pittsburg Leader. The Leader says: "Our Hebrew citizens are commemorating those days, the commencement of their New Year, a feast they consider one of the highest of their church.

Although not strictlv belonging to those feasts which have their foundation in biblical tradition, New Year is to them probably tho most endeared on account of its tendency, namely, mutual forgiveness, grace-making, and renewing the bonds of friendship and good fellowship. Knowing this, and having heard of lately-grown-up schism nmong members of the Hebrew church of this city, tho writer felt a kind of curiosity to see how New Year's time would influence tho opposing elements, and in expectation of an explanation from tho right source, we entered the synagogue on Eighth Street, where tho congregation of liODEf SnOLEJI convenes for its religious services. "Tlie interior ot the synagogue makes a most charming impression, boautiiully decorated and illuminated; furnished in tlie most refined style, it seems to be just the place where, in divino service, the mind may dwell in the inspiring thought of religious teachings. "On entering, our first glance mot the nrk, with an inscription nbovo in Hebrew and English, 'Seek peace and pursue and above this the words, 'Know before whom v'nn i i "Seated in a comfortable chair after beautiful singing of the choir, we listened to the cni-in nil oi tlie rnbbi.

Tim thouaht of our fate and the thought of tho guider of the same brings our minds to deep earnest religion, takos'pains to j-emind men bv commandments and symbols of their dependency of fate. Much man tan attain by his striving and struggling, but lie is not tlie only ia.ctor oi his destiny. As the ship grieving, and pressure for eternity moves when we ask ourselves, should it bo that all our doing and driving is without object and trackless? Is our existence no more than wind and breeze Then it sounds from our inner selfish ness till up your breast With chanty, humanity is immortal. "Friend, Hidu fcarest death thou wUhest to live forever.

Live in the whole; it remains long after you. "The gigantic spirit of the times is striding, majestically thither, without even noticing the dwarfs that within and outside of Israel counteract with threatening clamor and enraged gestures. The horn, shofar, the syinbol. of the day, sliall transport us to. the past, when, under tho clang of trumpets on Sinai, the moral law first was revealed.

"This symbol refers us after the words of tho prophet to those grand times when 'the big trombone was which in our language translated is: it. refers to that glorious time when the world will be full of perception ns the water covers the ground of the sea. Take therefore to heart the spirit of these great ideas Fato, Pcrishablcncsi; and Virtue. In the words of Goethe may I-call to you '''Nehmt den heiligen Ernst mit hinausr (lenn dcr Ernst macht dusLeben (Take along with you the holy earnest, for tho earnest gives bliss to life.) "It may probably be of interest to the-readers oi the Leafier to get a plain statement of the schism in an article of the blatt bearing on this subject." Our crowded columns this week compels- us to defer the statement of the schism in the temple as published in the Pittsburg. Yolksblatt, until next week.

Through the medium of your valuable paper let mo earnestly urge the members of the Grand Lodges' of the West and Pacific Coast to bco that their delegates attend on that important occasion. I entreat them not to permit this great opportunity to pass without being participants in completing the union of the Kesher Shel Barsel, and of organizing it permanently and on a secure basis. Motives of economy must give, way to stern Their presence is neccs-ary to secure measures and laws equitable and satisfactory all section not that the eastern delegates would force upon the Order any legislation manifestly unfair or unjust, but so that the requirements nnd views, of all 'should be heard and consulted, and there bp no excuse for All the Grand Lodges have elected their delegates and six weeks notice lias been given of the time of meeting, so that ample opportunity has boon afforded to inako the necessary arrangements. The importance of this Convention to the Order can not bo overestimated, and tho work to be done is as arduous as it is important.

A fair and equitable territorial division is ta be made, so that the Jurisdiction of Grand Lodges can bo finally settled by undisputed authority, and each one bo accorded room for increase. The organic law of the Order is to be adopted and the relative positions of members to their lodges, of lodges to Grand Lodges, and of the different Grand Lodges to each other are to be clearly defined: Usurpations of power which never can bo justified, oven by the plea of necessity, will hereafter bo prevented, a competent Appellate Court and a central executive body, are to bp; instituted and the members thereof elected. The ritual is to be thoroughly arid made to conform to the the. present age. Vi; i' To'do all this work.

requires the active participation of representative men from all' the Grand Lodges: ot the Kesher. The Order is at presont respon sible' head whoso authority is' universally reeogh'ized and there is absolutely no union. Having now, as nearly as can do. abuuriuuieu 123 lodges and about S100 members, wo have attained such numerical strengtn tmu a nerfect union is indispensable to our exist ence; and that is tho result we arc now endeavoring to effect. Xet rattier judgment, rah down as water and as mighty stream says the 'Prophet in the name of God, Do- you suppose, my frieads; that merelv bv giving 'to the melodious voice of the chanter nnd spending thereby many hours iii tlie house ol worship, you havedone something for tho ol Judaism, ol your own spiritual -welfare and of your children's happiness?

I therefore can not help putting the question to you, dear friends. Have you come this evening' into the House of God with a clear conscience, a spotless spirit and -a' clean heart?
