holy purposes. 1t would more properly
have been the duty of your Building
Committee to perform this honorable
duty; but the gentlemen composing
that board, recognizing the efforts OF
ladies, which resulted IL the cree
ton of this building, and desiring
that the same hands which lard the
foundation should also put the finish
inc touches TO it, did, on the Goth oil

by depositing these keys into the hands
Of tbe President Of the Ladies' Hebrew
Association. =.

is not entirely undescrved; for, when,
sixteen months ago, that association
sprang into life, it was NJ once maze
the main object of their labors TO sup

RELIGIOUS services, and of instruction TO
their children in the religion OF thelr
fathers.
II was admitted that the Indies could
act oul, advisory and suggestlvely, Dut
To make this more Impressive IT was
deemed best to take the inltlatory steps
toward the erection of buiidlrS
which Should be devoted TO these pur'
hoses. and we see, accordingly, lmme-
liately upon its organization move
ment in that direction, which, although
progressing but slowly, yet had the de-
Sired result, for after an existence oi
about ten months the association coutu
present to you the site upon when tlliS
building now stands.
Meantime their efforts began to attract
attention; and Wien you, on last New
Years day, congre, Nted Tor the proper

for some organization which should lc'
complish the aims of he ladies became
so apparent to everybody that an at
tempt made on the same day resulted II

ergv, prosecuted the good work, ana 10

lated religious services on all Sabbath'
and holidays, and n school wherein
thirty four pupils are instructor no
