Dr. Kohler's Eightieth Birthday.

In our last issue, we took occasion to speak of the scholarly
work of Dr. Kaufman Kohler whose latest book "}leaven and
Hell in Comparative Religion" has recently been published. On
Thursday of the coming week, May 10, Dr. Kohler will cele-
brate the eightieth anniversary of his birth, an occasion that
will properly be marked by Reform Jewish congregations the
country over. Indeed, it is fair to believe that on Sabbath, May
12, the sermons in practically all the largess pulpits of the land
will be devoted to an appreciation of Kaufman Kohler and to a
review of the splendid service that he has rendered to Ameri-
can Israel as preacher, as writer, and as college president.
We in Detroit must regard this occasion as being one of pe-
culiar significance. It was Congregation Beth El of Detroit
that in the first instance was responsible for bringing Dr. Koh-
ler to this country. It was at the invitation of this Congregation
that he left his work on the other aide of the waters and began
his A'merican career that has been one of such signal influence
and importance. A ripe scholar, a great preacher, a fine ad- I
mInistrator, he has for many years been the teacher of teachers
and the inspiration of many of those rabbis who as pupils sat
at his feet and who now occupy the leading pulpits of this land.
We echo the sincere hope of all who know and revere Dr.
Kohler that he may be spared in vigor of mind and body to con-
tinue his great service to Israel and to humanity for many, many
