 Miss Greil Presents Golden Key.
 Mir Abe Well concluded by introducing Miss Lottie Griel to present the golden key of the temple to the venerable P-esi- dent of the congregations: as the represent tative of the young people of the comgre- gation.
 Miss Griei was attred in a spring gown of pure white She carried a great boquet of white roses and ferns. The key of pure gold was tied with white satin ribbon. Speaking with perfect enuacia- ton and splendid composure Miss Greil said {:
 .The elders of the congregation have spoken. and we we ask. dear Mir. I'resi- dent, that you will also accept the sincere congratulations of the children. If love and esteem for our venerable President could blossom into flowers l could gather a million roses from the hearts of Kahl Montgomery's children tonight.
 Toward the completion of the new temple all have contributed. many have labored. each has given freely according to his means. But the work has been one in which the young people. too. have been keenly interested. That beautiful window wonder in memory of the satnted Rabbi Israel Joseph. was given to the temple solely by his former pupils and represents their zeal, their devotion and their undying affection. This is only ono or the many proofs in this building that our boys and girls have not been un- mindful that they are children of the covenant. their God.
 And so as you accept this key, dear Mr. President. we pray you to remember that 1t opens the door of a house that is very 6es- and precious to the children, that H:.!- ones are gathered round this altar with fathers and mothers. that their fervenS good wishes and words and works hallow this sacred shrine and that if the ianermost recesses of their hearts might be revealed to you, you would find writ ten there this sacred word:
 Little. little can I give thee,
 Kahl Montgomery. mother mine. But that little, hand. brain. spirit,
 All I have and am are thine.
 Take, o. take the gift and giver.
 Take and serve myself with me Kahl Montgomery. Kahl Montgomery, >J
 l will aye be true to thee"
 Notwithstanding his great age. Mir. David Well stood while Miss Greil de- livered fer speech At its conclusion she handed the venerable president the golden key to the handsome edifice and also with IL his hands the beautiful boquet of choice flowers which she had carried.
 President Was Deeply Touched.
 It was evident that MT. David Well was deeply touched and profoundly impressed with the solemnity and dignity of the occasion:
 My dear Miss Greil," he said in re- plying. his voice almost overcome with emotion "I wish to express to you my deep appreciation of the beautiful words you have uttered and through you let me thank all the children, the young neople of the congregation. our boys and girls. whose devotion to our cause has been the surprise and delight of the elders.
 And your MT. Chairman of the Bulid- ing Committee" continued MT. David Well, turning to MT. Abe wei as Miss Griel retired from the platform:
 "In the name of our congregation. and for those present and those to come hereafter, acceptNth key you tender to- day As long as it is in my possession will see that the doors of this edihce' erected for the glorification of God. are lkent onen for all who choose to enter and worship according to their conscience and understanding.
 "In receiving your trust, I am mindful of your unselfish devotion and watchful care as the work of the building prog ressed and now as we have the complete work. your task is accomplished, gooo and faithful servants, and you ana your colleagues are entitled to the thanks ana praise of the officers and members of this 
 My earnest prayers will go forth for the welfare of this congregation Tn JUS new abode. May the key be forever turn ed on discord and disintegration May 1t open our hearts and minds so that we may leave to future generations who VIII assemble at this altar a nobler purer and more lasting conception of our du- ties to God, to Judaism, 10 feilo" man and to ourselves.
 When MT. David Veil began to speak his voice was faltering and lower, but as he proceeded it grew stronger until he was heard throughout the auditorium Of the Synagogue.
 As MT. David Veil took his seat the grand organ pealed forth and the splen- did choir of twelve voices broke into Dedication Anthem i.
 Rabbi Levy of Selma Speaks 7
 The music died away and Rabbi Ed ward T. Levy Of Selma advanced to the reading table to deliver the dedication prayer and invocation. He suoke with fervor and deep earnestness:
  One! said Rabbi Levy. With thou sand voices nature proclaims the glory countless stars extol Thee-mountains quake at Thy word-seas trenble before Thee. Thy'presence reaches unto regions and realms unknown to man. The Hea- vens and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain Thee. How much less then, this house with it's narrow confines The spa cious Armament is Thy throne. The whole earth is Thy footstool. Grateful hearts and willing hands have therefore erected this house-not that it shall be Thy only resting place. but that it should be unto them a home where like members of one family they might help each other. in- spire each other to lift up to Thee their highest sentiments to rais to Thee their highest sentiments, to raise to Thee thelr ideal of righteousness, to seek from Thee help, to ask Thee for guidance, to oc- seech Thee for comfort. Oh, let truth spread here her wings let peace find here her home, let love here bring man nearer 10 man, and let the words here spoken bring to Thy children a deeper conscious. ness of possibilities of manhood and wo- manhood; that to their duties they may bring willingness. to their conduct they may bring principle, to their motives they may bring unseIfshness, to their mission let, we pray Thee, this house ne .he disseminator of the grand truths our fathers bequeathed to us.
