WISE ATTACKED BY ORTHODOX JEWS Rabbis Charge Him With Misleading the House of Israel as to Christ. New York, Deo. 2!).—Rabbi Stephen Wise formally was accused today by the orthodox rabbis of the Agudath- Ha-Rabonim of misleading the House of Israel and “opening the way to baptism.” Dr. Wise, in a recent address, proclaimed Jesus as a Jewish teacher. The Orthodox Rabbis of the Agu dath protested his statements and as serted he no longer was fitted for his post as chairman of the United Pales tine Appeal, which is attempting to raise $9,000,000 to rebuild the Jewish homeland. Today through the Jewish tele graphic agency the Agudath issued a statement saying : "On more than one occasion Dr. Wise made similar speeches about Christianity that are harmful to the laifp- masses of the House of Israel and the Jewish youth in this coun try. ’"He has on several occasions pub licly preached against the divine au thority of the Torah Min Ha Blra ni iam (the Bible). Because of this, he was, from our point of view, a priori, considered harmful to be placed at the head of a national Jewisdi movement. “It is most regrettable that in ad dition to his sermon against the di vine authority to the Torah, he sur passed himself a week ago and preached on a subject which threat ens to tear down the barrier which has existed between us and tile Chris tian church for 1.900 years—which may drive our children to conver sion. “All right thinking and pious Jews would be unable to help in the United Palestine appeal to the full measure if Dr. Wise continued as chairman. We therefore found it necessary to demand his immediate resignation.” Says Memorial Coins to Sell For $2 Soon. Columbia, S.
