how generous these contributions have
been. The business men of Washington
have been especially good in their donations
and the fine articles they have given are
being disposed of at prices startlingly low.

was very late when the fair closed for the
night. 1t will be open every evening until
February H. except on the Jewish Sabbath,
which lasts from shutdown Friday to the
same time Saturday. Several matinees will
also be given during the time.
A special feature of the fair, which did
not fail to serve a purpose. was the press
BOOTH beautifully decorated and provided
with the best of facilities for reporters. The
success of this portion of the big function
is due to a press committee, consisting of
Isaac Cans, chairman; Arthur Newmeyer.

last evening when the fair. which is
to last until February II, was thrown open
to the public for the first time. There is
every Indication that success will attend
the managers. and that the object of the
bazaar-to raise funds for the Improvement
of the Hebrew Temple, on Sth street north
west-will be realized. Attractiveness is the
chief feature of the armory in its present
dress, and the attendance is sure to be
large during the remaining days
AS last night was the opening night, the
first few hours were given over to speech
making, in order that the fair might have
an suspicious "send-off.' President l. l..
Blout of the Washington Hebrew Congre-
cation called the thrOng of people to order
at about o'clock, and, chairman of the
fair executive committee, made the ad-
dress of welcome.
But little more than fifty years ago." he
said, "a little band of pioneer Israelites re-
siding in this the city of Washington,
who for the purpose Of worshiping as their
fathers did formed themselves into an as
ISOLATION styled the Washington Hebrew
Congrega tion," emgrants themselves hav-
ing migrated from foreign countries, eXer-
cising the inalenable right and privilege of
American citizens to worship according to
the dictates of their hearts and conscience,
and apply themselves thereto in a modest
and timid way.
Had Hard Work.
This little band of less than twenty-five
souls did not progress as rapidly as they
had hoped and anticipated. Whether from
the want of opportunities, the lack of fer
vor and activity, or the want of both, their
progress was scant and slow. We shall
leave them here to themselves, only to
meet them again, not that little band we
knew forty years ago, but an institution
grown vastly and materialized into promi-
hence and prosperity, strong in numbers
strong in power, strong in influences in
everything that is noble and good. Is there
any greater proof needed for the beneficent
influences of freedom and liberty?
And so while tonight we are rejoicing
over the rapid strides of the past, memory
reverts in gloom and sorrow to one, a hero
of his time, a champion of everything that
is noble, good and sublime. Henry King jr,
or blessed memory, my much lamented
friend and predecessor, has gone to his rest
We sadly miss him, more so tonight than
ever. We shall always miss him. 1t is to
his memory that much of the progress
achieved must be accredited, like Moses of
old, who was directed to the mount there
to behold the land of promise, yet the en-
trance into which was withheld from him.
So with our lamented friend 1t was he
who planned and directed the erection Of
our present temple, yet fate prevented him
from seeing it completed. He has gone
from US, yet we feel his spirit lowering
around us.
Large Growth in a Year
1T may be considered boastful on my
part to tell you that in the past twelve
months we have added nearly one hundred
members and seat holders to our ranks.
Little did I, little did any of u.s. imagine
when but six years ago the present temple
of the congregation was erected, that in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-01-31

such short space of time that edifice, with
a seating capacity of 1,450, would be in
adequate to comfortably accommodate the
increased demands on our space.
1T is for this purpose that the temple
fair and bazaar has been projected, for the
purpose of securing funds sufficient to en-
able us to enlarge, remodel or possibly to
rebuild our present house of worship, In
order to comfortably accommodate the
number of applicants who desire to at
lliate with u.s.
Mr. Biout introduced the next spea or,
Harry King. chairman of the invitation
and reception committee, whose duty It
was to present to the audience the other
speakers of the evening. Mr.. King made
a short address, In which he said that he
believed the management OF the fair was
in hands that would see 1t through to a
glorious end. He then introduced Senator
elect Elmer ]. Burkett OF Nebraska.
Senator Elect Burkett.
