MEMORIALS FOR THE TEMPLE.
Handsome Windows VIII Decorate
Mickva IsraeI's Place of worship.

Mfckva Israels Place of Worship.
The temple Mickva Israel IS being fur
Their beautifed by several handsome me-
mortal windows. Within a few days the
work of putting in the windows win be
congregation are able 60 gain a fair idea
Of the appearance they will present.
Five windows are TO supplant the ordi-
nary ones at once. but there will be but a
short delay before a sixth follows. Rev.
DR.. l. p. Mendes, the minister. desires TO
see every window in the edifce memorial
and believes time will bring about that re-
suit. As it IS, he is well Pleased. and en-
joys the satisfaction of successful labor in
interesting his congregation in the work,
designing the windows and securing their
valuable addition to the interior of the
temple.
Months ago Dr.. Mendes inaugurated the
movement among his congregation to OBJ
tam such memorials to departed relatives.
THOSE whom he approached fell in readily
with the plan, welcoming the opportunity
TO pay substantial tribute to the memory
of their beloved dead and to have the
names live before the eyes of the con-
gregation as they are preserved in their
hearts for virtues. 1t is thought the ac-
ton of the pioneers in the movement for
the decoration of the temple with memo
rails will be followed by others very soon
The windows are made upon the same
general plan. their borders being of stain
ed Cathedral glass and the designs being
confined to three sections into which the
middle is cut horizontally. In each of the
sections there is either a device or in
scription. In the selection of the designs
DR.. Mendes showed rare taste and artis-
tic judgment
One of the windows is to the memory of
Sam S. Guckenheimer, and Is placed by
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Guckenhemer the par
ents. AT the top are a crown and the two
Hebrew letters signifying the crown of the
law. Underneath that Is a design of the
ark floating on the waters with the inscrip-
ton: He giveth his beloved sleep" In
the lowermost section of the window, as
is the case with all the memorial inscrip-
tons, is a wreath of immortelles in which
is inscribed. I'm memory of Samuel S.
Guckenheimer."
Another window was donated by Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Rosenheim. The design
is dove with an olive branch, in one of
the leaves of which is the Hebrew letter
meaning peace" Underneath that is a
design of the altar of sacrifice, with the
incense burning. The inscription al the
