Yesterday Aftornoons-The Work of
the Past Year has been Satisfactory,
but Some improvements are Sus-
gcstcd by Mr.. Victor Rosenberg.
Tho School will Resume Next Fall.

The closing examinations Of tho Jew
ish Sunday school in connection with
the Jewish congregation, were held yes

is an annual affair, and they are always
well attended by the parents and
scholars.
Tho year has been a very successful
one, over fifty scholars being enrolled.
The examination consisted of questions
in catechism, religion proper, Bible,
feast and holidays and Hebrew reading.
Talks were heard from Messrs. Sam
Kraft, president OF the congregation;
Henry Jacobs, vice president OF the con-
gregation Emanuel Emsheimer, Horny
Baer, Israel IsenberC, Morris Hork-
heimer and Dir. Roitch, who arc men,
bers OF the school board. All spoke Of
the good work accomplished the past
year in the school. Yesterday was the
last session OF the school until next fall,
when it will resume.
Mr.. Victor Rosenberg, chairman OF
the Sabbath school committee, made
the following address:
"0n behalf OF the Sabbath school
committee I tender you thanks for your
kind attention here to-day, and trust
that the exercises OF the pupils have
been amply r~emunerative for the sac
ri6ce you have made in devoting tho
time you spend with US this a~ftarnoon.
It has been tho earnest endeavor OF the
committee in charge OF the Sabbath
school in conjunction with the superin-
tendent aud teacher to make their work
as efficient as the time and means would
permit. To tho superintendent and
his kind daughter, Miss Hannah, are
We indebted for tho proficiency dis
played by the soyeral classes to-day.
Herculean was their work, and success
attended their efforts.
It was with great satisfaction and
pleasure that l noticed at the many
sessions OF the school which l attended,
tho efforts Of the spupils to excel each
other, and to this ambition they owe
their marks OF distinction; in tho great.
or proficiency displayed by some over
others could be plainly detected the
praiseworthy assistance given them by
homo influence, and in this connection
l claim the privilege Of demanding
from the parents and guardians Of the
dear children all the assistance they
can possibly give, so that when the
children come hero they may be pre-
pared to recite their lessons properly
without encroaching on the limited
time We have, by having to study first,
what they should have studied at home,
during the week.
ave are compelled to ask this of
you, because Of the great number OF
pupils and the few teachers. We have
on several former occasions like this,
tried to create enough fervor and en-
thusiasm in tho breasts OF some OF our
younger co-religionists who are capable
Of taking charge Of a class, and under
the directions Of the superintendent,
teach some OF the children. We have
succeeded in securing ono young lady,
who for q while set the noble example,
but no doubt for the want, Of followers,
herself fell back and eventually ceased
her efforts.
"My young friends, eau there BIO
found among you, any who have enough
patriotism in the good cause to come
forward when our next school term be-
gins and show your love for your relig.
ion, and for the. rising generation and
volunteer your services2 As sure
as there isa God in Israel. so GER
tain will you DO rewardcd-and
your good work will be appreciated.
1.-THE compittee would also commend
the fervor and earnestness displayed
by tho superintendent Of the school,
Rev. MI. Bonnheim, nhis work in the
school in all its details in general, and
more particularly in the very satisfac-
tory manner he perfected tho confr-
nation class, whose commencement X
ercises you all participated in IN last
iShebuoth. Further comment on this
would be superfuous, and. finally, l
most respectfully ask your ~Ico-opOra.
in the future, by being particular in
having your children attend regularly
every session OF the Sabbath school, to
be here promptly and to bring their
books; also teach thom to be regular in
their attendance at divine worship'on
all occasions,
