Moses Topper, Hen ry Schwarz, Samuel Kayser and Ahra- ham Eagle. The altar had been heau- tifully and tastefully decorated for the occasion, and Rabbi Levy went through the ceremonies in solemn and impressive manner. He has q clear. resonant voice. and every word that he uttered could be heard by ev- cry one in the handsome new Temple.
 As the time approached for the young people to be confirmed they came slowly down the two aisles of the Church behind President of the Con gregation, simon Maas. and Vice-Pres- ident M. !, Meyer. Each one carried . bouquet of flowers in their hands. and it was a sight never to be forgotten as these young people arranged them selves on the rostrum to take up the faith of their fathers. handed down te them from the times of Ahraham' Isaac and Jacob.
