BETH ISRAEL.
Farewell Services Held in the Old
Synagogue.

Hereafter the congregation Beth Israel will
meet for worship in its new ana stately edlce,
yesterdays farewell services having been the
last which will be held In The synagogue on Turk
street. The exercises were of particularly
affecting nature, as for more than ten years the
congregation, now numbering about 200 and
originally called together by DR.. Messing In q
small uninvtlng room on Dupont street. has
daily met there, It's every surrounding becoming
more dear as the years rolled by.
Besides the farewell address of DIR. g. A. Dan
Tiger three lille children were named and
blessed the services being similar 10 that Of the
christening In gentle churches. Several youths
were also formally admitted to the congregation
OF Israel, the contrmatOry services being striR-
mgly beautiful. Dr. DanZiger was chosen TO de-
liver the farewell address because OF MS prior
connection with the synagogue as a rabbi. HIS
numerous works Oh Hebrew subjects, among
them the Legendary Age OF tho hebrews, "
have also endeared him 10 his people, making
them most willing 10 confer upon him the honor
OF bidding farewell TO the old editice.
The doctor spoke in a familiar manner to the
congregation, his plain words going straight To
the hearts OF his hearers. Emphasis was placed
on the fact that 1t was mainly due TO tile efforts
OF Dr.. Messing, with the cooperation OF The
Ladies' Zion Society, that the congregation had
been brought to its present prosperity. or The
Board Of Trustees who worked In union with DR..
Messing but Two members remain. Marcus Levy
then delivered most feeugly.
"Noiblng can equal this farewell" said The
speaker. The child that leaves his parents-the
husband his family-Ihe friend his dearly be-
loved-soon forgets The passing sting, the hear
ache, the flowing tears, In the excitement ant
hustle OF life, his comfort being the conlempla
ton OF near reunion. But what can be com
pared with this farewell we are bidding TO the
house OF God, where we have bent our knees IL
silent prayer, yolcinR IN signs and tears oul
anguish OF mind, kept secret from all mortals, oil
with gladsome hearts coniding unto Shada,
our joys and hopes. And although we are NOV

vine grace as ever before, while this place will
ever mark ali incident In the history OF our live:
