prayers in a touching manner and delivered an

The young lad said that be had double cause
g. rejoice, because the day of his entrance into
Jewish manhood was also the day when the
Jews all over the world were celebrating the
giving to them Of the sacred law on Mount
Sinai. He alluded 10 his pride in being Jew,
and one OF Gods chosen race He expressed
gratitude u his parents for maintaining and
giving him an education, and hoped to live long
enough to the fulhlment of the promise
contained in tho Fifth Commandment. He

and touching prayer.
