FEAST OF WEEKS CELEBRATED
Interesting Ceremony and Address mt
Temple Israel Last Night and
Confirmation Today.

Ihe Jewish Erev Shebuoth service or
Feast OF Weeks" was given last night In
most impressive manner by Rabbi Fred
erlck Cohn to large congregation at Tenn
pie Israel The ceremony, which is in COM
memoration of the receiving Of the ten
commandments by Moses on Mount Sinai,
Is a very interesting one and the altar was
especially decorated for the occasion.
Rabbi Cohn delivered a lecture on the
meaning Of the ten commandments, saying:
We have outgrown many things Of the
past, but none of these; we have advanced
in many things, but not beyond the ten
commandments. In fact we have not ad-
vanced up to them. These commandments.
though given to the Jews. are meant for the
whole world, and are known to almost every
man, woman and child Of the civilized
world 1t makes no difference If they were
given thirty or forty centuries ago they
are sun shining for us all, and shine forth
In the mortal sky today as they did of old.
We treat kings of the earth with great
respect, even If some of them are bad God
is King of Kings so think with what re-
spect we should treat even His name.
Without religion there would be no good.
for that's the soil that goodness grows in
Religion has taught the world its moral
laws and If your children should honor
their father and mother they should be
taught religion. Those who aspire to be
leaders must become moral leaders"
This morning the commandments will be
spoken by class of little children. The
program which is to be given at 10 o'clock
