Rabbi Simon Delivered Stirring Ad dress?Rabbis Stern and Eoeb Con duct Ritualistic Exercises. The Joint Thanksgiving- service of the congregations of the Adath Israel and Washington Hebrew congregations was held In the Temple on 8th street yesterday after noon at 3 o'clock, and was attended by a gathering that comfortably.'filled the edi fice. The beautiful service prescribed by the Hebrew rituals for Thanksgiving cere monies was conducted by Rev. Dr. Louis Stern, and Rev. Dr. Ijoeb conducted the religious exercises. The (juartet of the Temple sang the an# thems and hymns appropriate to the day in an exquisite manner. At the close of the religious exercises the Rev. Dr. Abram Simon of the 8th street synagogue delivered the address of the day. Dr. Simon said. "My lines have fallen In pleasant places yea I have a goodiy heritage." So sang the pilgrim Jew as he reached, the happy and sacred soil of Jerusalem once again. The exile was forgotten In the Intense Joy of the new home. Gratitude washed away the lines of grief and seems of suffering. In similar words, the pilgrim fathers sang their psalm of praise when their feet trod the free soil at Plymouth. The ocean was behind them?forgotten, ?for a while, were the tyranny and persecution, and thanksgiv ing for reaching and winning the new land became pivotal of their entire future career. The sense of gratitude became a matter of record and of custom and of law. Sentiment of Gratitude. "Gratitude i< the fairest blossom which s,;'liips from the soul. Man never rises so high in the spiritual scale as when he bends low in humility and appreciation to the souri e of all blessings. No true or brave man ever loses his independence by ascrib ing or fei ling lils dependence upon God. t >n tie' eontiary, mi h a feeling becomes a well-spring of more Intense and invigorat ing energy, ambition and character. It alone -i.>s ;:>an from the gutters of base ingi.iiitude and Impudent insolence and un bridled s iiishness. It giv>s wings to the soul, ami bases the struggle for the ma terial tilings of life upon an Idealistic foundation. Let not man say, 'My strength and the power of mine arm hath gotten me this wealth.' Prosperity oft blunts the keen edge of appreciation and Induces a false pride and a stultifying and stunting con science. "Since a nation Is but an individual writ large, gratitude becomes a part of civic life and responsibility. Our lines havo fallen In pleasant places and we have a goodly iieritage, is signally true of our country and history. If by comparison the sense of appreciation becomes whetted, the Ameri can ought to be the most grateful indi vidual under the nun. The Thanksgiving day rami s with an annual and steadily In creasing reason for gratitude. Lack of National Conscience. "Our trouble lies In a lamentable lack of national conscience. We have lost our moral sensitiveness. We forget that spec ulation is peculation. We are eulterlng from the bad citizenship of good men. The ones 'whose lines have fallen in pleasant places and have a goodly iieritage' are the most guilty. They have kept away from (he policeman's club, have practiced a neg ative morality and saved themselves from being caught. But the poorer man. whose lines have fallen in the glitters and whose heritage is one of depravity and disease, for which he cannot be blamed, is usually the unfortunate man who crowds the pris ons and swells the inmates of the peniten tiaries. "Oh, our cowardier and our slow Justice and our blunt conscience! Where is the patriotism or daily honesty and of common decency? Where Is the courage to do right? Our patriotism Is fireworks, either of the skyrocket or spit-devil character! Yet even here we have reasons for gratitude. The year has witnessed a remarkable dem onstration of the contagion of fine example. The President lias ;;<t in motion concentric circles of ever-widening reform and enthu siasm. Young men have felt the touch of his strong hand and felt the flame of his burning soul. The triumph of the people last month was the most splendid proof that the heart of American manhood is sound and whole. "The honor for having forced Russia and J^pan to an amicable settlement furnishes ground for our pride and gratitude. Amer ica has won the fear ana the respect of the world. She has become the peacemaker and the apostle of Justice to the nations. Yet our joy is not unalloyed. The voice of our brothers in Russia whose lives have not fallen in pleasant places Is a grief and a pang to our souls. What an opportunity was placed in the hands of our government that lias all along torn to shreds the sophistry of diplomacy and the red tape of political entanglement! How proud we would have become, with what ad(UtiOi.9i joy we would have sung our psalm of gratitude, could our nation, through its President, have said to Russia. 'Thus far shalt thou come and here shall the proud waves of thy bigotry be stayed!' Hut It was not to be. European nations can threaten Turkey Into submission where a paltry few dollars was in question, but where thousands of lives were under con sideration the bogey of international policy was forced forward. Not a Jewish Question. "The world must understand that the persecution of the Jew in Russia has ceased being a Jewish question. It is a problem in Christian morals. It is a uni versal question. Christianity cannot be asked to shoulder responsibility for those who rise not equal to her teachings, but her voice ought to !?? heard authoritatively through Rome and the constituted authori ties of Protectant Kurope. "At any rate, the voice of our brothers eries unto us. Let our prosperity not chill our hear - I.et us give?give freely. We have li goodly heritage of financial pros perity. social happiness and political peace Uncii year brings increased recog nition and JustillcaGon for this great na tional feast. May its blessings develop corresponding duties mid intensify our na tional conscience. Praise and glory unto God. the giver of all good. Our heritage forever!" The address was listened to with close attention, and at Its conclusion Rabbi lx>eb offered prayer. "America ' was sung by th"> congregation, and the service closed with benediction by Rev. Dr. Stern. Seated in front of the altar during the services, in addition to the officiating rabbis, were Mr. Simon Oppenhelmer, secretary of the Adath Israel Congregation; Mr. I. S. Blout, presi dent of the Washington Congregation, and Mr. Fisliel. vice president of the Washing ton Congregation. THE STATE OF TRADE. Conditions Reported Satisfactory by the Dun Agencies. NEW YORK.
