THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS An Eloquent IiialitllnUon Address by (tnbbl E. M. CnllR?li, of Itlclinioml ?Fnrcwoll Sermon by Kev. U. Eb? erson-AdilrcRS of Welcome, by President I. MorUz ?Fine Otnslcal Program.' Probably the most impressive service ever witnessed at Ohof Sbolem Temple wore those held there last night at the retirement of Rev. B. Eberson, after a long and useful pastorate, and the in? stallation of the new Rabbi, Simon K. Cohen. The temple was filled to its utmost capacity before the hour of opening the services, 7:30 p. in. The services upen ed with an organ prelude, grand inarch, followed by the anthem, "Praise the Lord," Alzamora, service?union prayer book and a duet, "The Lord is My Light"?Dudley Buck, by Mrs. Laura do Russy Berry and Mr. Richards. DR. EBERSON'S FAREWELL SER MOX. Following this came Dr. Ebcrson's farewell sermon. He spoke in part as follows: Speaking of orthodox views In re? ligion which many members of congre? gation hold, and again other with ex? treme radical reformed views in the same congregation, the sermons of a ltabbi, particularly in such a congre? gation, can seldom satisfy, and there are not few of such congregations. You seo then, my friends, Rabbi Eberson continued, what great patience the Rabbi must possess in many a con? gregation. The rabbi who values prin? ciples hlghor_^iirui persons, performance of duty higher than perfldous policy, who would rather take up with all he treasures near his heart, the pilgrim's staff, than inoculate at the altar of fleeting popularity, principles and char? acter; In short, the minister who pours his very heart-blood in his sacred call? ing, has a rocky road to travel. Among other things, he said: lndalsm, which embraces the subllniest principles about ("iod and man; yes. man's destiny, his duties, his hopes, his soul's aspirations, should be the constant theme upon Which the voice of the rabbi should dwell, should be beard In the house of God. lndalsm believes In progress and re I form. It is not a stagnant pool In which the debris and fragments of by gono ages arc lo be kept nnd held up as sacred relics; no, it is a living stream, leaving on tho shores of its inlllenliil course the old petrified dregs and continually striving to adopt itself to that spirit, to the wants and habits of the times, and to keep step with the progress the humnii race makes In all departments or life. Standing here now before you to bid farewell to a noble calling?a calling which is deeply associated with my earliest recollections, deep emotions 111! my heart, iarid many years I have de? voted to It lingerlngly pass through my mind. To-night I only speak of my pasto? rate in your mitist. Twenty odd years ago, encouraged by your confidence, 1 came among you quite a stranger. I brought along with me earnestness; zeal for the cause I espoused, i say it with pardonable pride, that my work In your midst was not fruitless. 1 en? deavored to .elevate the Jewish name, and to the best of my abilities strove to promulgate these great principles of lndalsm destined to conquer tho world. And now, my dear congregation, a last word of parting, and indeed part illt; i.S SOCh a?Lll .lOITOSV,?ft-Hrl?t-h-rtrW only who go through such experience can appreciate the feeling by which my heart Is agitated. Looking around me from this pulpit for the last time as your minister from the place I ex? pounded the words of love ,of right? eousness, of truth for these many years, I realize the strong ties which bind the pastor to Iiis llock. Before me are many who have expe? rienced sorrow, with whom I deeply sympathized In their great affliction. Yea, I often mingled my tears with your tears for the great loss you sus? tained nnd prayed for Heavenly conso? lation nnd endurance In your anguished moments. I also see here those In whose joy I rejoiced, who, with Inexpressible hap? piness, 7iian and woman, with two lov? ing hearts beating as one nnd two souls prepared lo express mutual vows of faithfulness, stepped before tho altar and were united by me in the holy bonds of matrimony. I also behold here fathers and mothers whose sweet faced babies I blessed and named. I also bring back io your memory those sol? emn moments when dear children with innoconl hearts and noble intentions dedclatcd their lives to the service of God nnd the glorification of our relig? ion. In leaving you I ask you to think of me when you come into this house to pour out your heart; in Ibis sanctuary where I prayed with heart nnd soul for your soul's salvation, your prosperity nnd happiness. Here In this house I endeavored to instill moral courage In you so as to pass manfully through thai struggles of life, becoming true men nnd women' In Israel. Here I tried to soothe your grief and guide you upon tho path of duty." In leaving you Ii "Think of Ease But Work On." If your blood is impure you cannot even "Hunk of ease." The blood is the greatest susiainer of the body And <when you make it pure by taking Hood's Sarsa? parille you have the perfect health in tuhich vtien fmd mork becomes easy. shall ever cherish the memory of your friendship and shall dwell with delight over the names of those who hnye help? ed me in the performance of my duty. Lot.the light from Him above who Is tho ifon of Righteousness, penetrate your hearts, so that its rays may bring forth In you an nfdettt love for all that 1s holy?for all that Is divine. Let every"spot serve you as conse? crated ground to stand firm In the up? holding of right, of truth, of justice and humanity. "Have a hope in thy sorrow. A calm in thy joy; Have a work that Is worthy Thy life to employ. And oh! above all things on This side the sod, Have peace with, thy conscience And peace with thy God." Next came a finely-rendered solo, "O, Divine Redeemer," by Miss Blanche Hecht ADDRESS OF RABBI CALISCH. The installation address was deliv? ered by Rabbi E. N. Callsch, of Rich? mond, and was an eloquent, chaste and ornate 'production. Among the many excellent passages in his address, wc re? produce the following: v The ?Speaker began by saying thax the departure of Dr. Eberson left him, In point of service, .the senior rabbi in the State of Virginia, and that as such he came to bring to the congregation the greeting and congratulation*) of his own, tlieir? sister congregation in Rich? mond, and to speed the parting and welcome the coming workers In the sacred vineyard. The message that he bore to them was one that could be brought to every congregation in the land, but to them it had an added ap? peal. "You arc.- standing," he said, '"at. an epoch-marking moment in the history of your congregation. You are parting With an old, tried and valued friend, who by virtue of ills holy oflice and by the years of Iiis service has be? come identified with the dearest and tenderest hours of your lives. You arts giving yoillselves over to-night to the leadership of one who ha? been reared In different atmosphere, and who, by reason, or his training, will bring to you the message of our faith in varied form and tone. Yet It will be rb> same message, the same call that has rung down the corridors of tho buried cen? turies, that lias been heard and an? swered by every generation." The speaker then referred to the figure of Abraham, ready to sacrifice his dearest treasure at the call of faith. And we have that same figure, repro? duced in every age, as by some mighty mimeograph of history. In every gen? eration do wc see the figure of Israel climbing the mountain-side of disas? ter, danger and sorrow, bringing end? less sacrifices upon the altar of his faith. He then contrasted the condi? tion of the Jews of Russia, Roumania and Southeastern Europe, with that of France, Germany, and then with Eng? land and the United States. Though the conditions here were most happy yet occasionally they were reminded that even here in free America there are some. In whose breasts freedom had not found full lodgment. There were events now and then occurring that taught us how slow is man's spiritual development, how tenacious he Is of his follies, his superstitions, and his hatreds. But such things were easily borne by one who had.the conviction of bis faith. That was the keynote of his message, the necessity for the conviction of faith. Abraham of old had it, and fol? lowing him there were generations of willing victims and heroic martyrs, to whom their belief was more than all tlii- world could offer, to whom the con? viction of the truth of their cause was a remedy for every ill, a redress for every wrong, tin anodyne for every pain, a sweet Nepenthe to the aching .-souls that mourned for the dead who fell, not on the field of battle, but in the shambles of man's inhumanity. "God tried Abraham, of old. He is trying u.s to-day, but in different man? ner, by the very happiness of our con? ditions. Prosperity Is a harder task? master than adversity. Man considers that Iiis disasters come from the Power greater than his own, and appeals to God for hid. The success he enjoys he conceives to be h!s own triumph, the fruit of the skill of his hand and the cunning of his brain." Tho speaker appealed to the congre? gation not to fall into this error. "You, US A l ollgrcgnlion, are entrrlng Into new relations. Do you, also as indi? viduals, enter into new and closer re? lations with that for which tho congre? gation stands? if you wish your min? ister to do good work you must uphold his hands. Above all- things, do not consider th.a the minister alone Should maintain nil religious duties, lie is not .a proxy to fnlllll your obligations for you, to keep the ceremonies, the Sabbath ami the holidays while you may do as you please. He i.s tho pilot on the ship of life, . but you are not tlie passengers, to sit idly in the cabin, I : tho eiew. who uins: work with him slilo by side, follow his directions and obey Iiis Instructions, and then, If he lr.nl wisely and truly, :in>l In the fear of God, and with knowledge oif appre? ciation of his sacred task, as I pray heaven he will, the ship of your congre? gational life will weather every storm and ride serenely in the sheltered har? bor of God'.s own truth and surpassing peace. Turning to Hie newly elected Rabbi, Rev. Mr. Callsch said: "To you, my brother, I extend a warm and fratern.il greeting, I could point out to you the dangers and the dllilcultles that beset your p ith, bill the pointing out would not lessen I hem nor even guide you to overcome them. You must meet them as they come. The indifference and coldness, the discouragements and dis? appointments that you win meet may at times cause your sohl to sink, but if your it.-.ti t he sturdy and you are lilted with foith ia God's eternal jus tiee. and with the conviction of the un? shakable truth of our cause, then these things will he tint with a lofty spirit, ami the determination to cleave to the line of duty, come what will. This heart and this faith and this spirit are yours.?must be you IS, else you have no place in the Jewish pulpit. You ,ir,' now about to cross the .Tor dan thai .-? parates the bind of the Ideal from file l.in,I of the real. In the words that Moses spoke to Joshua, as given in this week's scriptural portion. 1 say to you, "be strong and of good cour? age." Preserve your youthful enthusi? asms as long as you can; let the morn? ing light be always wltn you; find in your work a genial friend, an Inspira? tion, never n taskmaster. Be ever, as Isaiah voices it, "A witness of God, hi* servant, whom lie has chosen," And now do I give you the hand of fellowr ship, and induct you Into your maiden pulpit as a Rabbi and leader In Israel. May you worthily wear the three crowns spoken of by the fathers, the crown of the law, the crown of the priesthood and the crown of leadership; and above all, may there be ever yours the crown of a good name. Amen." Next came a ladles' quartette and duet, "List the Cherubic Hosts." from Gaul's "Holy City," by the Misses Skin? ner. Kindred Williams, Hecht, Mrs. Berry and Mr. Richards. ADDRESS OF WELCOME. As president of the congregation Mr. I. Morltis bade Dr. Eberson welcome ' and thrlco welcome to the synagogue. He also extended to him his right hand on behalf of the whole congregation, pledging their earnest support. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. As Mr. Morltz concluded, the' new Rabbi, S. R. Cohen, then rose nnd spoke, in part; as follows: The rabbi of old was merely a schol? ar of Jewish traditions and nit au? thority In Jewish questions. Thl3 In? fluence was wholly in the synagogue and religious school, but the change in the conditions of',the Jews by their emancipation from the rigorous laws or the middle ages has called for a greater ability in the. rabbi. He must be a'scholar of Jewish tradition, but he must nlso be a student of compara? tive religions, besides he must know all those sciences the knowledge of which will elevato and perfect man? kind. This, however, Is mere preparatory knowledge. With this he emerges from the school-room and his study to enter the larger arena of the world. To-day the rabbi must be a preacher, a lecturer and an orator. As a preacher he must talk feelingly and tenderly or firmly and emphati? cally on the truths of life, to touch the heart-springs, to open the portals of the soul by the love of God, to bind man lo man by the bands of love and devotion, lo speak of goodness and kindness, justice and mercy, charity and benevolence; lo plead to emotive forces for the bursting of human bar? riers, the equality of man und the unity of God, the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, Tho rabbi must also be n priest and a pastor.; As pastor he must visit his people-In private, to minister to their private spiritual wants, to know%mnn as 'man Is, his desires and passions, his hopes and despairs; to crown his happiness with the halo of heaven, to tinge his sorrow with the hope of Im? mortal love: to send light to those who walk In darkness, to give hope to those to whom life seems hopeless, to teach him whose heart knows only bitterness that even though it be dark to-day, to? morrow-the still will be bright. "[ take It, therefore." Dr. Cohen con? cluded, "that the rabbi must be pos? sessed of a brand knowledge,he must be a speaker, a priest and a pastor. Yet these do not round out nnd complete the rabbi. To reach the heart of hearts he must be possessed of manhood, he must be a man of men and for men, living out In every-dny life the words .and ideals he preaches from his pulpit ps nn example for other men to pattern after: then he will become the rabbi of the heart, otherwise he will be toler? ated ns a man of skill and learning. "You. as T, must realize, therefore, what n difficult position the rabbi holds. To the height of my ability I shall strive to fill it for you. In this T count upon your generalis sympathy, co-operiition and advice. T come to you with prayers, not promises, upon my lips. I beseech God's help to fulfill my hopes nnd aspirations for the snkc of our dear congregation?Ohof Sholom." CLOSING EXERCISES. This was followed by a solo, "The Day Is Ended." J. C. Bartlett, by Mrs. Berry, with violin ohligato by Prof. Krugcr; then a benediction by Rev. B. Eberson, and in conclusion an organ selection. The following gent lernen acted as ushers: Messrs. Moe Lew, Eph. Ball, Ben' Tischler. Harry Brandt, Harry Mo s nnd Dave Mnrgollus. A PRESENTATION. At the conclusion of the services President I. Morltz presented Rev. Kherson a line gold watch, suitably engraved, and a beautiful goltl watch charm. These were tho gifts of 1I12 congregation that Rov. Eberson has so faithfully served for the past twenty two years. TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM. The following resolutions, beautifully engrossed and handsomely framed, were presented to Dr. Eberson: Norfolk, Va., August 3d, 1S93. At the annual meeting of the mem? bers of Ohef Sholom congregation, held this day, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, our beloved rabbi, Bernard Eberson, has decided lo retire from the ministry, after having served us conscientiously and faithfully for the past twciuy-iwo years in 1 He true cause of Judaism; and, Whereas, his efforts have boon untir? ing toward placing us foremost in the ranks of those who espouse our noble cause; be it. Resolved. That we, the members of Congregation Ohe'f Sholom, tender htm our deepest feelings of sincerity <'ttd I gratitude for his arduous, zealous and .solf-sncriflclng energy exerted in our ; behalf, nnd at the same lime assure him that he has a host of friends who will always feel honored by his pres? ence in their midst: and, Resolved, Thru he has, by his many noble traits of character, endeared him? self to all of us. and at (he same time won the esteem and regard of the en? tire community; and bo it. Resolved, That we tender him our most sincere wishes for a long and happy life, so that ho mny yet realize that his efforts in our behalf have not been In vain, and that his good nnd ! conscientious teachings have reaped their desired effect, nnd as the time of his severance from Congregation Ohof j Sholom Is close nt hand, may tho tios 1 of Friendship, which for twenty-two I years have bound- us to him, never be , broken: and be it, further, I Resolved, That a copy of those reso? lutions bo engrossed and framed and j tendered to Dr. Bernard Eberson .as a I mark of our deep love nnd respect for Him.

Night Jailer Kelly shot at some negroes who attempted to assist some prisoners to escape from the city jail last night about 10 o'clock. Tho negroes were in the lane in the rear of the jail und were heard talking to certain colored prisoners, and it is believed they were preparing to get tools to them in order that they might effect their escape. Detective Chlldress went into the opening to the lane, while Jailer Kelly and two or three officers Of tho police department, went into the other opening, but the parties escaped, it Is believed, through the stable next to tho Jail. The olllcors think that a Jail delivery may have been thwarted by the vigi? lance of Jailer Kelly, us the prisoners were undoubtedly planning an attempt to escape with those on the outside. Since the escape of the Hobbijl woman by way of the wnll in the rear of the jail, the other day. the prisoners are being very closely watched. Unici Clerk 1'iiriis 'I tu. r. Pat Wilson,' a colored hotel clerk, couldn't withstand the temptation of running away with $14 left with him over night by a guest at the Philadel? phia House, a colored holstery, kept by John A. Bailey at 322 Church street. Tills easily tempted clerk will have to spend two months in the city Jail. Last Wednesday night a negro named Cotton applied for a room, and Wilson told him that It was the' custom for guests to leave their valuables at the ollice over night. Cotton only had $14, and he gave tills to tho cleric and re? tired. Wilson was not seen again by the hotel proprietor until he was nr restcd by Detective lleppol at the Old Dominion wharf, Just getting ready to board the steamer for New York. He was In Police Court yesterday morning and got a two months' Jail sentence. tytlney Slirrirnoil A Co, Attention Is called to the advertise? ment of the new hat firm of Sydney Sherwood & Co.. 335 Main street.
