family, who had been lis-
tening with breathless attention to
all that had been said, was a deeply
religious one. Simple-hearted and
guileless were they all. :\ very brief
pause ensued before the father
said:
"This seems to me to be the
Lord ' s work. I feel that 1 have no
right to interfere in the matter at
all. Rebekah is to decide ; but she
has my consent to become the
daughter-in-law of this man of such
wonderful faith, for I verily be-
lieve the Lord has ordained it."
"Thank the Lord!" exclaimed
the man of (mkt, alniost humble
demeanor, and he rose and passed
Rebekah the ring set with a dia-
mond of pure white brilliancy. Si-
lently she received it. "\V ill you
go?" they a4ked tensely.
"I will go," she said simply.
The mother protested.' "But Re-
bekah," she said earnestly, "surely
you don't. understand all that this
means. 1)o you feel that you are
fitted for the position in which you
will 1:c placed?"
Rebekah's wonderful eyes
looked straight into her mother's.
"Why not'" she asked, and no an-
swer could he fOtIlld. Then she
said:
"I have never known any men-
lover-men, i mean : but 1 have al-
ways known that some day 1 should
leave this dear home and make one
for myself."
The supper-bell rang, and they
went in to eat and drink, and to
discuss plans.
In the morning the man with a
trust insisted on an immediate de-
parture. The family protested, the
mother and brother being especially
reluctant to give consent, but Re-
bekah never once wavered from her
decision. and agreed to make prepa-
rations for the journey at once. So,
before many hours, her family gave
her their choicest blessing and re-
linqUished her. I low simple a
matter, after all, to garner the
fruits of faith.

In the magnificent grounds of his
father's dwelling a young man of
splendid physical appearance
strolled in meditative mood. Pres-
ently he observed an immense car
coming up the driveway and started
in the direction of it.
Rebekah leaned forward in the
car and a§ked. "Who is this ap-
proaching us?"
"It is he," replied the man who
had made good his trust.
.\t his significant words, nature's
veil, the only veil designed to re-
veal rather than conceal, spread it-
self over Rebekah's face.
As the car stopped Isaac rushed
forward, his face wonderfully'
lighted, and caught Rebekah by the
hand.
"It was good of you to come," he
cried—"marvelously good! The
lonesome feeling is gone—quite
gone !"
the hitter attack upon Justice l'iran-
deis made by some of the repre-
sentatives. This occurred during a
three-cornered debate between jus-
tice Brandeis, Dr, J. I,. Mapes
and Oscar S. Straus, which reached
high points of tension at times.
Perhaps the most dramatic moment
of the entire session, and the deep-
est insult hurled against justice
Brandeis, was when, after some re-
marks of the latter, judge 'Mayer
Sulzberger arose and declaring that
he "didn't come to make fancy
speeches" he didn't "come here
thinking that he would get anything
but speeches," left the room. The
hostile attitude of some of the
speaker.; towards Justice Brandeis
was so marked that one of the dele-
gates was compelled to protest
against it, declaring that he "must
insist that our guests here are not
to he lampooned in a way that has
been done, neither are they to be
lectured." DT. Mapes later apolo-
gized for anything - he said that
might have been offensive.
The justice came to the Confer-
ence as one of three representatives
of the Congress Organization to
invite the delegates to join the Con-
gress movement. 1-1 is colleagues
were : judge I Ingo Pam, of Chi-
cago, and former judge I,eon San-
ders.
justice Brandeis, in his address.
explained the purpose of the Con-
gress movement and outlined what
had been done at the Philadelphia
Conference last March. Ile said
that it was the strong desire of his
committee to have other organiza-
tions join the fold, declaring that
the movement was actuated by two
motives; to effect unity of all Jews
in America, and to organize a body
which would represent them. Con-
tinuing he said:
"The Congress, as we view it, is
an absolute essential if we are to
have unity. In that way only can
all factions come together in open
session. Each body represented
must contribute what it can to clar-
ifying conditions.
"When the Executive Committee
met it made provisions for those not
yet adhering to the movement. But
we did not do what was more im-
portant. We took no action but
that which was necessary, only
formed a temporary organizatiOn
that those who came later should
have the same power."
1 le then invited the Conference
to join the Congress Organization
saving that the delegates would be
just as welcome now as if they had
come three months before.
Still holding her hand, Isaac led
the woman whom he had loved de-
votedly since he became a man, into
his home, and her home; led her
proudly into the presence of the
father, who was confidently expect-
ing her.—The Review.
