handsome little Synagogue, celebra.
ted the Feast Of Conclusion or rather
the closing ceremonies of the Feast
Of Harvest, commemorative of the
Israelites dwelling in booths and Ia
bernacles. Thursday evening their
Rabbi, Dr.. A. Meyer, delivered an
interesting lecture on the Ten Com
mandments. Friday morning servi
ces began at 9 o'clock and the impor
tant portion of the services was the
conclusion of the reading of the To
rah or better known as the five books
of Moses, and the beginning of read
ing the same, which event occurs
every three years. Their entire pro

impressive. Friday evening service
was largely attended. DR.. Meyers

early youth of Moses--he also called
tile attention of parents towards Civ.

The above extract which we pub
