|, The exeic SEES were opened with the
singing by the choir Of Nearer, my God,
10 Thee" by the choir, Mis-, Mary Wilde
acting as accompanist for this chorus and
the solos which followed.
Though the services were appropriately
under Jewish auspices, the audience was
largely made up OF friends Of other demon
ina:iops, and several others had prominent
parts on the programme.
THE OPENING EXERCISES.
Miss Emsheimer sang an appropriate
selection with feeling and in q manner
which fully deserved the warm signs, Of
approval which greeted the close. The
prayer OF the Rabbi, Rev. DR.. NJ. SeRsler,
was broad and liberal in tone and notably
fitted to the occasion. It was eloquent
and fervent TO high degree. g
DR.. Sessler said-"O, Lord, our God.
Thou art the source Of all light and truth,
the fountatn.head of all blessing and sal.
walton! To Thee we humbly look up at
the beginning OF every work and under
taking; for without Thine assistance our
iabors are in vain; without Thy protection
and blessing our efforts are OF no avail.
therefore pray and implore Thee TO bless
the supreme body OF the order K. S. B.,
who has commanded every lodge in the
Union to celebrate to-day the memorial
services Of the departed great philanthro.
pist, Moses Mente6ore. Bless the Pfesi.
dent and lis officers OF our Lodge, who
have followed Immediately the noble ex.
ample.
"Father in Heaven, bless the President
OF the United States and its entire Gov.
eminent, 30 that peacs and harmony may
prevail forever. Bless also, with the richest
blessing, the honorable Mayor Of our city
and It's government, Grant life and pros
perity to every clergyman OF our city and
his congregation. Bless the newly elected
president and officers OF our congregation.
Bless every stranger In our midst and may
the threeioid blessinH rest upon ali Of Us
from now forever. Amen"
Another beautiful solo was beautifully
sung by Miss Hattie Hofkheimer, and Mr..
Joseph Emsheimer delivered an intro.
ductory address, welcoming the audience
and thanking those present for the inter.
est they manifested by their attendance
in the exercises. He announced that
these services were held by virtue OF de-
cree from the grand lodge OF the order,
whose cardinal principles, love, truth,
virtue and benevolence, were so signally
illustrated by the life and deeds OF the
ilIustrious dead whose memory they were
assembled to honor. OF him 1t might be
ssid as 1t was said Of the Father Of his
Country, that he was First in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts OF his
countrymen." AS Washington was
the father Of our Republican form
Of Government, DO was Sir Moses
Monteaore father to the OPP
preEsed, the prosecuted and the desti-
tute. He was known es such not only in
his own country, but all over the world.
His integrity and goodness OF heart Won
for him the esteem and confidence Of
kings And potentates in all civilized coun-
tries. Benevolence was his flagstaff, truth
his cornerstone, active love for bis fellow
men his vocation. Where Is one now to
take his placer All mourn his death,
because all share in the bereavement.
May his example teach us our duty to
God and 10 our fellow man.
~ THE GRAFTON.
Mrs. Bernie Baer rendered solo after
the applause which followed the address
had subsidized, and when she retired the
audience again gave expression to It's
hearty approval.
Past President Victor Rosenberg then
delivered the Grafton, which was fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
In all the cities where lodges Of the Shell
Barrel exist, he said, similar exercises to |
these were being held Of this time, in
honor Of that great, noble, generous, OPEN
hearted philanthropist, Sir Moses Monte

race has been called on to mourn the loRs |
Of one whose death was so universally re- |
GREETED, or whose benefciaries had 80
much cause to mourn. God, in his infu- |
tie wisdom, permitted him TO abide with |
us much longer than Is usually allotted to |
man, and then took him home happy in
having done his whole duty to God, to his |
neighbor and to himself. It is scarcely q
year ago since the civilized world Joined |
in celebrating the centennial anniversary
OF his birth. he was then blessed with
his entire mental faculties, and was phys
ically able to receive the honors and con-
gratulations showered upon him.

He was OF that class OF our ooreligion-
iats who took pride in being q jew and
was neither afraid nor ashamed OF the

expelled from England, and Christian

and Moses MonteGore was a haronet.
Then followed Q glowing tribute to the
the achievements and the ser.
vices OF the great philRnthropist, with an
review OF his many deeds OF
