Rev. Mr.. Rosenfeld, being indisposed, the
well-known Rabbi, the Rev. JAS X. Gutheim,
had kindly volunteered to take his place. We
regret that space prevents us from producing
this prayer in suffice it to say, however,
that it was fully up to the former productions
of this distinguished Rabbi. The orphans
executed their part of the programme to per-
fiction; when all do we'll, it is a very hard
matter to particularize. We would mention,
however, the opening address of welcome by
Miss. Frank, which was admirably pro duced,
showing careful study
The productions of Master Gilman and
Miss Silverstein, as also the Dialogue by Miss
oilverstein and Master Lewis, are worthy Of
special mention. The orphans deserve much
praise for the careful study which they evince
oy their productions. This is in great |
measure due to the exertions of their talented |
md excellent teacher Miss Julia Hart.
The Rev. Mr.. Gutheim was again intro
