Again, we are glad today to go into our
new place of worship, a close neighbors to
our friends of Calvary Church. to continue
the pleasant relations that have existed be-
tween lis for thirty-six years. We recall
with pleasure that their worthy pastor at
the cornerstone laying of this temple invok-
ed God 5 blessings upon us and our under
taking, and that our congregation, while
temporarily without place of worship,
during our great holidays year ago enjoy
ed the hospitality of Congregational
Church. whose spiritual representative we
| are glad to have with us to participate in
the exercises of this day.
Nor should these facts be regarded as
rare or unusual evidences of good will be-
tween jew and Gentle. They have oc-
CURED and are occurring frequently in all
parts of our country. They prove ttht de-
spite existing differences of belief and dog
ma, the teachers and followers of t3l& va
rous creeds understand more clearly from
day to day that in an age of general en-
lightenment, in a country that for more
than one hundred years has upheld the
principle of liberty and equality, religious
sects no longer afford to be narrow
or exclusive.
May, then the tall graceful spires of the
Church of Calvary and the great white tow
ers of this temple dedicated to the religion
of Sinai, piercing side by side the sun-kiss-
ed skies, proclaim 60 coming generations
the great truth of the fatherhood of the
God we all adore and the glorious message
of human brotherhood and love, eXempli-
flying in silent eloqueqace the beautiful senti-
ment Behold how good and how pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in un-
ityr
An Auspicfous Period.
"And finally we are glad to go into the
house of the Lord at this auspicious peri
cd of our nations history. We are glad
that with the completion of our sanctuary
peace has come to our nation after months
of bloody warfare. We are glad that with
the building of this temple will be associat-
ed forever the memory of events that
have brought freedom to oppressed peoples
and honor, dignity and increased prosperity
to our beloved country. We are glad that
the joining together of the building stones
of this house has witnessed the cementing,
of all the people of this land into one great
homogeneous body of patriots a union of
hands and of hearts more complete and
perfect than ever,
May, then, this temple stand a proud
monument 20 these achievements through
out the generations. May its completion
inaugurate an era of increased religious.
| moral and Intellectual advancement. of
prosperity and peace, so that in it the pro-
| phetic word may be happily realized: The
| glory of this latter house shall be greater
| than that of the former. saith the Lord

Walther, our organist, who so unselfshY
WrOked 10 secure for us this organ, which
without a doubt cannot find its seperior
in America. We can congratulate ourselves
that during the construction of this house
not a single accident occurred to any of
the WOrkmen.
We feel grateful to the many members
and friends of this congregation who so
. literally supplied the funds for a building
of this magnitude. We are under special
obligations to the ladies of Rebecca Lodge
No. l, who donated this lovely ark the
shrine of our holy scrolls, and to the la
dies of Deborah Lodge for this pair of
beautiful candelabraS.
In conclusion. | express the hope that as
the classic architecture of this temple is
pleasing to the eye and the soul-inspi piring
music of this noble organ delights the ear
so may these lofty halls help to inspire
the worshipers therein with more lofty
thoughts and loftier deeds.
Religion and religious worship should be
tie means of bettering mankind. May the
beauties of this new temple prove suffi-
GENTLY attractive to fill this auditorium
with an ever-increasing number of wor-
Slippers, who by the influence of the noble
thoughts which may be uttered from this
platform may be made better Jews. which
means nobler and more perfect men and
