who aided them, that we are able TO be
here on such an occasion, 1--we long to see
this WORK crowned with heavenly blessings,
successfully accomplished, and stand here
an honor TO them, q centre of peace and

our city and State, and pride to all our
fellow-eitizens. Amen.
At the close of DIR. Kalish's address, that
gentleman introduced
REV. DIR. r. N. WISE,
Of Cincinnati, who said that on this Occa-
sion il was proper that thanks should be
returned that this congregation, so long

opinion and had united once more, and
were now certainly cooperating in the
erection of a cOmmOdiOus and beautiful
temple.
The leading principle Of Judaism is the
| eternal progression Of humanity, and that
shall be the distinguishing feature of
the congregation which viii worship
in this house. Most nations have had

but the golden days Of Israel are in the dim
| futurez-in the progress Of tie human race.
still. Truth is progressive, and, therefore.
Israel proclaims that there is no end TO
truth. 1t is impossible to predict what the
human family will know ten thousand
years hence.
What IS graOe9 II is 2 general term, en-
| bracing ali the virtues known to mankind.
We say that God is graciOus-that
God is grace. The advancement
of grace in the human family
is the advancement Of Justice, of mercy, Of
freedom, of prosperity, Of truth, Of happi-
ness. The advancement Of Gods grace
means the elevation Of the human family.
DIR. Wise closed his interesting address
by hoping that all present might live TO see
the new temple erected ANA worship in it
rOr many years.
