in itself sufficient reward. "

certain that the seeds of this beginning

serving ones. and You must now realize
what source of satisfaction it is to those
near to you, and the qualification eX-
pressed on the CountenanceS of those
present should stimulate you to greater
efforts"
In conclusion Mr.. Robinson said: ''Ev-

Jewish children and you can feel much
pride that you are of race which excels

your faith and you will never fail to re
fleet credit on your parents, yourselves
