As Founder and Teacher of !
Society for Ethical Cult?
ure Dr. Felix Adler Has
Won Many Followers j
Seldom Prays at Service,
Teachings Have Made Him a
Storm Centre Through the
Greater Part of His Life
This is the eleventh in a series of
Monday warning articles on the
mown preachers of Nene York.
They aim to answer the questions:
"Where are the great preachers?
})ocs Sew York know her own pul
j>its or is the tradition lost?"
The articles will not attempt to
distinguish the great preachers or
to determine the greatest among
them. Tiieir purpose is to present
the preachers as they present them?
selves. Readers must form their
own conclusions.
The ten preceding articles have
portrayed Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- \
diek. preacher of the Old First
Presbyterian Church; Chaplain Her- ;
bert Shipman, rector of the Church
of the Heavenly Rest; the Rev. Dr.
Newcll Dwight Hillis. pastor of
Plymouth Church, of Brooklyn; the
Rev. Dr. William Laurence Sullivan,
of All Sauls' Unitarian Church; the i
Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wist, of the \
Free Synagogue; the- Right Rev. ',
David H. Greer, Bishop of the Epis?
copal Diocese of New York; the Rev.
Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, ?xistor of
the Clinton Avenue Ccrngrelational \
Church, Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr. '
Ernest M. Stires, rector of St.
Thomas's Episcopal Church; the
Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman, rabbi of
Temple Emanu-El, and tlie Rev.
Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of
the Broadway Tabernacle. Next
Monday's article v~ill deal u?th Dr. ;
5. Parkes Cadman, pastor of Cen-'
mgregational Church, Brook- \
lyn.
One of ' popular preachers in .
v is not a preacher at all in the
nly r.cttpted sense of the term,
of the Society for
Culture, which he and a few;
i nearly half a cen
tnry ago after it had been determined
that the forma' pulpit was no place for
him.
He is Dr. Felix Adier, who has,
his impress on the city as
few cf its public teachers have stamped
His Society for Kthical Culture : <
is one of the most widely approved in- ,
flu? ne? for j,'ood in the city. Yet it ;
: y years to iive down the '
preJD > it :t. For it was be- ' ?
the society came into being ;
a refuge for a group of un
s ,1 . men who thought as j
did Dr. Adler. ?
-r, anderstand these prejudices it is j
to know something of the;
c i a that led to the founding:
of the Bociety. Dr. Adler's father had
been rabbi of the Temple Emmanu-El.
n was destined for the preach?
ing ministry, and many fait he would
be called to succeed his father.
On h a return from Germany the
young Felix Adler was invited by the ;
trustees to preach in his father's pul- |
pit. He delivered an address upon the
Book of Esther. It was scholarly, elo?
quent and impressive. But it was re?
marked there had been no mention of
the Deity.
Adherents and Opponents
Then it was that the adherents and
opponents of the young man separated
into two camps. Some argued that he
had a wonderful future in the pulpit
ministry. Others said his failure to
mention God indicated a lack of faith.
Young Adler was privately advised that
he ought not to assume the duties of a
rabbi, but he was also privately ad?
vised that he ought not to abandon the
idea of being a public teacher.
Young Adler heeded tho advice
wholly. His decision came after much
deliberation. Some of the members of
his father's own congregation joined
with him in the plans for the Society
for Ethical Culture.
Public meetings were planned and it
was found they attracted Jew and
Gentile alike, men and women who
were pondering the problems of right
iiving, but had been perplexed as they
?vandered through the mazes of theol?
ogy. They went to the meetings of the
society because thero they heard teach?
ing upon the problems they had pon?
dered.
From this small beginning the so?
ciety grew. It was hindered .for years
because a Jew was tho leader and this
Jew had turned from a rabbi's office.
But the fact that Jews and Gentiles
alike were attracted to the Sunday
morning lectures, the fact that the
teaching was universal in its applica?
tion, ultimately broke down the bar?
riers of prejudice.
To-day the society has its own home
on Central Park West. Its membership
is numbered in the thousands.
There was no service in the build?
ing yesterday. The year of public
teaching came to an end the preceding
Sunday. Dr. Adler will have a rest
and renew his preaching in the fall. He

is 6S years old. His efforts have taken
a heavy toll of his physical strength.
Dr. Adler is most intense. His is
cne of those burning souls which con?
sume their bodies. In every effort in
which he engages he puts all his physi?
cal as well as mental strength. His
addresses are the results of real labor.
For three days before hi? appearance
in the pulpit his wholo attention is
centred upon his sermon theme.
He dictates as the thoughts come to
him. Then he revises and re-revises.
When delivered his address represents
all he can give to it.
Dr. Adler has a native serenity in
spite of some of his unorthodox utter?
ances. Those whose memories go back
to the beginnings of his ministry Bay
he was always free from nervousness
on the platform. It was a gift with
liim to think upon his feet.
His pulpit manner is as quiet as his
mind scums serene. His gestures are
few but emphatic. His voice is well
modulated, and possesses a rare qual?
ity, in that it never has to be strained
Seldom a Prayer
There is seldom a prayer. There is
no effort to give to the Ethical Culture
Society meetings a church atmosphere
There is music. There is a Scripture
reading. After these conventions Dr
Adler proceeds to the business of th?
meeting, which is the discussion of ar
ethical problem.
One cannot assert tTiat Dr. Adler i?
not a religious man. Some years ag<
he spoke on the subject, "The Eelief ir
God as Viewed from an Ethical Stand
point." One passage was as follows:
"What is the meaning of tho world
What is it to us? Is this world i
pitiless machine, in which things tun
out good or ill, just as chance may tie
termine? Are the disappointments o
life merely a derisive answer to humai
aspiration? I do not see how I can b
indifferent to these questions. It is a
if I had been transported iato
strange country in the night and ha
awakened in a colossal mansion an
should ask, Where am I? If, indeed,
am to judge by some of the cries
hear, by Borao of the ?sights about m<
I must suspect that the house in whic
I live is a madhouse.
"We have at least one advantage ove
the people in the churches in considci
ing the riddle of life, that we can r?
fleet upon It in quiet and tranqu
fashion, without feeling that it is si
to doubt. Nor yet are we antagonist
of the churches. We are not, indeei
to be called atheists. I am not into:
ested in labels. I have for the tim
left man behind me and am face 1
face with the eternal stars."
On another occasion Dr. Adler saic
"When we leave our old religion v
forget it has an office for us. Certa:
things that the old religious teache:
havo said ring true and will forev?
ring true. On the other hand, the:
are many things that must be sa
that have not been expressed. The pe
son who ceases to bo religious cea?
to have the affections that lead o
from religion. He is aware of the h
man fellowship of which he is a mei
her, but unaware of the life of t
universal soul."
Dr. Adler's teachings havo made hi
a storm centre throughout most of t
years of his manhood. Early in li:
when he held a professorship of H
brew and Oriental languages at Cc
nell University, he was denounced
one whose rationalism made him da
geroaa to the young. So bitter w
the denunciation that Dr. Adier fina
relinquished his post. Nearly a qui
ter of a century later ho was called
the chair of political and social eth
at Columbia University.
On timely topics his voice 1b fi
quently heard. Speaking of dl-/or
ho said:
"The grent flaw in the modern at
tude toward marriajre and divorce, t
thing which makes much of our d
cussion of it false, is that vision
concentrated upon two members of
three-cornered figure.

but not free to fro out, and in spite of
the shocking incisease in divorce that is
still the normal assumption regarding
marriage in most homes.
"One great modern heresy is that
the state can take care o? the child.
We talk in an offhand way of great
public asylums for the care of children.
Much is said about what scientific ex?
perts can do with children, but while
it is true that parents cannot take the
place of scient??c experts the experts
cannot take the parents' place."
Dr. Adler has delivered many ad?
dresses extolling the teachings and
leadership of Christ. Some one said of
him that he contemplated Jesus with a
yearning friendliness. His addresses
upon the Christ teachings have at?
tracted hundreds of professing Chris?
tians to the society.

Ysaye and Elman Heard
In Their Last Joint Cxmcert
Eugen Ysaye and Mischa Elman ap?
peared last night at the Hippodrome in I
! what was announced to be their last
joint recital for all time. "Concert j
Temps," by Mozart and by D. Alard, a i
; suite of Moskowski's and the Bach ?

gramme
Tho Hippodrome is far from being an ?
, ideal place for music of this intimate
kind, the subtleties of which are lost in
the echoing spaces of so large a hall.
It was, however, hardly large enough to
? hold the throng of those desiring to
hear these two artists last nicht. They
were received with great enthusiasm.
Women Prepare Plans
For Dual Club Convention
Miss Eugenia Wallace Promotes

Early in June four prominent wom?
en will meet in Buffalo to make plans
for the forthcoming convention of pro?

the first of its kind to take place in
the L'nited States.
One of the four is Miss Eugenia Wal?
lace, vice-chairman of the National
Committee of Business Woman and
vocational and employment director of
the Central Branch of the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Wallace is a fearless cham?
pion of the rights of the woman work?

at the Hippodrome before an audience
nearly if not quite as large as the

The Italian soprano seemed tired,
the tag end of a long season weighing

I Yet at times as m "Ah. non credea,"
from "Sonnambula," the etheral qual?

less satisfying, though it had moments
of great beauty. She seemed often to

trouble with th epitch was evident.
With a summer's rest she will be

On the Screen
Dorothy Gish and Richard
Barthelmess in Excellent
Roles at Rivoli
"I'll Get Him Yet" at the Rivoli is
1 un amusing story of a newspaper re?
porter, who refuse, to marry the girl
he was in love with because she had
so much money.
Dorothy Gish and Richard Barthel
mess play the leading r?les, with
George Faucett thrown in for good
measure, which is enough to assure
the success of any comedy.
We liked the picture in its early
stages, while it was comedy, better than
we did later when it became farce, but
oven at that we have no fault to find
with it.
Miss Gish played with admirable re?
pression considering the temptations
the script offered, and she gave a de?
lightful performance, ?she has to boar
! in mind that she is just about twice
as funny as any other comedienne to
?" off with and play accordingly.
Lillian ?lish said ro us yesterday: "Dor?
othy is the funniest person you ever
? : to. She can think of more
clever things in one minute than 1
could thinK of ir. my whole lifetime."
And Richard Barthelmess's part was
I so much like himself that we could
I only sit back and say. "Well, well,
: Richard is himself again." Tinier the
circun we know that Richard
, would act just as Scoop McCreedy ?
' acted.
Susy Faraday Jones- that is, Dorothy
Gish owned a par: of a railroad and
j she commanded the trains not to stop
at Everdale. And then after she was
married she went then; to live and
she wai ted 11 em to stop.
Susy and Scoop fell in love wjth
each other when Scoop went to get
a story for The Tribune about Susy's
party. Oh, yes, rse, we news?
paper p? rsons do meet lots of inter?
esting people, but Scoop wasn't the
editor. That mattered !
n ? ? Si ,. however. She just said
"yes" and sent Scoop in to ask papa. '?
