Mr. White hnd facts and figures, about which those preset bad never before heard, or If they had heard, they did not consider seriously. The Laymen'* Movement. Briefly, Mr. While cxpluluod tho Lay men's Missionary Movement, lie declared tlie movement did not contemplate sending out .ntiy missionaries nor collecting an* ftni'Is. Instead, the object was to get the churches to study the question and increase thejr efforts. .Mr. White declared that the last rear baa beeii the most marvelous In the history of the Christian Church, und that In Ills twen ty years' experience, he had seen more done in the last year than in the previous uliie* teen. He said thut while the work was spiritual, there was a business and financial side to it, uud that If Kngland and America, tlie two countries upon whom the work of evangelizing the world would fall, woulr. unite In a holy Chrlatlau alliance for this purpose, there was no reason why the Gos pel of Christ SECURE NEW RABB Triple Celebration at Ahav- ath Achim On Sun day. mhl not lie made universal ('luring the lifetime of the present genera tion. ltut at the present rate of giving for foreign missions, pointed out Mr. White, it would take 100 years. Interesting figures were given showing tlie vast amounts that are spent at home and the pal try sum expended abroad 01 many times the number of people. II compared tin* 13,000 missionaries with 150,000 ministers in the t tilted Htuies. and said then- were **),<•"(> of noti-Chrlstlans not Ided for. Mr. White declared tbs* inly $D,000,0fK» Is spent nhroud for the no work. Although the field Is ten times •nter. He further declared that more uith is added to the Mouth each day than Is spent lit u year In spreading tbe Gospel. ‘ Igtire* were read showing nmounta pre- ioitsly given by various cities for forelgu missions nmj how these amounts had been raised because of tuv movement to all tbe way from twice to five times as large. What Atlanta Give*. Atlanta, be said, gnve last year '$522,000 >r the work at home and only $24,000 abroad, or $21 here for every dollar fo- for* elgn missions. Yet the field was greater broad and Atlanta's res|>ou*ihillty greater jere than the percentage spent. At tht* conclusion of him talk, several abort talks were made by those present urging tho necessity of a more united effort on the part of the Atlanta churches to increase Atluiqa's offering and to let Atlanta htirchea share their proportionate ar f tbe responsibility. Kx-ttovertmr W. J. Norfben declared he bad been astounded at tbe facts aud figures lie had beard, and said Atlanta should give three times as much or at least $80,000. K. Calloway thought Atlanta could give times ns much and then not being doing e than was really necessary, concluding. Mr. White pointed out that aside from the spreadlug of tb** Gospel and earning out Christ's command, tbs evan gelizing of the world would be a good bust- proposition and would create a da- for ngrt'e manufactures, especially cotton. Before the meeting adjourned It was de cided to appoint a committee of not more than twenty five composed of members of the various denominations In Atlanta to meet at the Aragon at 12:30 o’clock Haturday and mnkc a report on the question of whav Atlanta should do.

The public Is cordially Invited to a triple celebration which will take place in the Jewish synagogue, at Piedmont avenue and Gilmer streets, on tiunduy afternoon at 4 o’clock. Having remodeled the place of wor ship the Congregation Ahavath Achim of Atlanta has now one of the largest and one of the handsomest synagogues In the South. The main auditorium und gallery haa a Beating capacity of about 2,000. The electric lights, with tlie ancient and modern furnishings, present a beautiful scene. It la for that reason that the re-dedication is celebrated. The Chanaucah celebration, in which the children of the Babbath school will take part, has always been one which the members look forward with great anticipation, for it reminds them of the heroes, the Muccabees, how they freed themselves from Antlochu* Eplphonus who oppressed them, and how Judas, the Maccabee, with a handful of people, defeated a great army and after entering Jerusalem and cleansing the temple, only found oil enough to last one day, but, by a miracle, it last eight days, this being the time required to prepare the sacred oil. The congregation Ahavath Achim was fortunate in obtaining u rabbi who will be the spiritual leader, a inan who Is one of the greatest among the American orthodox rabbis. Beside* be ing a graduate of the great Bablnnlcal colleges and holding diplomas from the greatest rabbis of Europe lie is an eloquent speaker. He has a magnetism by which he can hold his audience for uny length of time and one who hear* him once will surely not miss his next lecture. Above this he is a great think er and scholar. Habbt Joseph M. Levin was rabbi for the last eight years at Wllkesbarre, Pa., where he was honored and respected by all denominations. In the year 1905 when President Roosevelt deliv ered an address in Wllkesbarre he was honored and placed on the platform next to the president. He has been elected by the Congregation Ahavath Achim for five year*. It was by hard work of the members, of the congrega tion and the Atlanta spirit that they have succeeded In Inducing him cotne to Atlanta and serve them their rabbi, Wllkesbarre having put up a strenuous fight to retain him. The members are overjoyed In having him as their spiritual leader and hope that rill accomplish a great deal that not only the members will be benefited, but the city at large also. Rev. I. M. Lubel, who i* the able and beloved cantor of the congrega tion, with a trained choir and a large orchestra, under the leadership of M. Greenblatt, has arranged a beautiful musical progrem consisting of the moa v ancient and sacred melodies. This con gregation is one of the oldest orthodox congregations organized. Undoubted ly the seating capacity will be tested on this occasion. liu u E, KILLS SELF Pianist Sees Wife With An other and Sent Knife Into Heart.
