 CO1IM MEMORATIVE EXERCISES.

MISHKiN NlSR4ELSUNDIT SCHOOE'S COMMEMORATIVE EXERCISES. Addresses by Superintendent of schools Kendall, President of Board of Education Harry W. Asher and Attorney Isaac Wolce-Large Congregation Present- Many GentiIes in Attendance.
 The service of the new temple of the Congregation Miahkan Israel yesterday was devoted to the Sabbath school. The service was an interesting one alike for the children of the school and the visitors who were present. The school, numbering about, 200, were present in body. The exerciees con- sisted of music by well trained or chestra from the congregation, singing by the school and short addresses by various speakers.
 The speakers were introduced by the superintendent, Rabbi David Levy, in few felicitous remarks.
 The speakers addressed their remarks in the main to the children.
 MT. Nathan c. Myers, who has been connected With the school for long time and has always had a deep inter- est in it's welfare was the first to speak. He said:
 It is now close upon twenty years since this school was organized upon it's present class system. We had school before the present system was inaugur- ated, however. I have been connected with the school since it's present organ ization.
 To-day we enter upon a new era of our school life with an occupation of this new building.
 When l was a teacher in this school at its reorganization, in addition to our regular Sunday school services, each scholar was supposed to, attend the regular Friday evening and Satur- day morning services.
 T have noticed with regret the ab- sence from these services of many of the scholars of late years. It is the duty of every loyal Israelte to be pres ent at divine worship.
 Every boy and girl, no matter how small, has a part to perform in this great universe.
 Tn closing I must compliment you upon these new quarters which you are to-day occupying for the first time. I compliment you for your teachers and superintendent, who are kind and painstaking, and I explain the wish that you may live for many years to become the joy and pride of your friends and families and the home of Israel"
 MT. Harry Asher of the board of edu- cation said: T am very much impress ed with the importance and solemnity of this occasion and had I the eloquence of Dr. Hirsch I might perhaps say a part of the things which I have to say. The ceremonies of the past have been the most important in our religion; they have been the most impressive of all the experiences of my life.
 My young friends, this beautiful building was built for you; upon you rather than upon your parents, because upon you depends the future of our religion.
 You must keep your Sunday schoo as good and as progressive as youl other school
 Ut has frequently been said to me in my official capacity and not to me only, but to the other members of the board that the Jewish children of New Haven are in proportion to their num- bers the superior of the Gentle chil. dren in intelligence, in industry and ir department.
 Now if you have contributed SC much to the public school, why can you not do as much for your Sunday school If you will attempt to conduct you Sunday school on the same lines as your public school you will make it splendid success. Let me congratulate you upon your new Sunday schoo room. You have the best rooms for Sunday school in New England. Le me express the hope that you will i'm prove the advantages offered to tn honor of your parents and our race"
 Mir Isaac Wolfe said: Tn the frs place let me congratulate you upo your elegant rooms. You cannot bu feel their inspiring influence. After al the work Of the Sunday school is very great and important one. N child's education is complete withou religious training. The public school i no place to teach this, so let the wor be well done in the Sunday schoo Here let the precepts of honesty, truth charity and all the virtues be taught
 
 You come from race of peopl whose history is a record of struggl between darkness and light It ha been in a great degree the history c the progress of civilization You ar the descendants of that race, and if yo would carry forward the great cause c your fathers you must know the his tory of your race If you would mee the attacks upon your religion, and at tackled it often is, you must be learne in the precepts of your fathers.
 "In closing, may I express the hop for the success of this Sunday schot and that it shall send forth boys an girls, not alone trained in their own re ligion, but in love and charity for a men whatever their race and religion.
