In his opening remarks at the Forty-fourth Street
Synagogue yesterday. DIR. Mendes congratulated
his congregation upon the progress made tow
ard congregational singing, owing to diiigent
industry and attendance at rehearssls. His
subject Of discourse was the aversion Of Jews to
making proselytes, and he took for his text Isaiah
xvii Elm the future Jacob shall take root Israel
shall bud and blossom. and they shall fill the face of
the world with fruit" with which he associated
verse from the Talmud which stated the purpose of
Israel's dispersion among the nations to be &C

work among the children OF men. and like the i'm
plement welded by human hands. Israel had to be
forged and battered in the furnace and the
anvn of Egyptian persecution. DR.. Mendes then
traced the various phases of Jewish history. noting
the impetus toward learning the Jews received in the
Babylonian captivity which bore fruit in the dilgent
study of the law when they returned to Palestine.
Then that mighty offshoot called Christianity was
