They had senate in full blast At K.

The affair was arranged by the Rath

the opinion was generally expressed that
the band developed wonderful ability

Dom Ps.l and the jews.

when Jews FIRST began to flock to Pre-.
toria he was unfavorably disposed to-
ward them and used them severely, but
after a time relented somewhat, and
finally gave them leave to build syna.
cog. They were grateful, and when the
synagog was built they asked him to
come and open it. The story is-and it
assumes to be 4 true story-that the old
man accepted the invitation, and, stand
ing on the platform said; "In the name
Of the Father. and of the Son. and Of the
Holy Ghost, l declare this synaGog open.
