RABsI 0oLDENsoN STEAKS.
Earnest Discourse at Temple on Abuse
 of Power.

EaRnest Dfscouree at Temple on Abuse
 of Power.
 The services at Temple Beth Or last night were conducted by Rabbi s. H. Goldenson. of Lexington. Ky, who ar rived here Thursday.
 Rabbi Goldenson apparently created an excellent impression on the large congregation that heard him and at the conclusion of the services, he was congratulated by numerous members of Kahl Montgomery.
 The delivery of the visiting rabbi was clear and his appearance conn manding. The ritualistic service of the Synagogue, he conducted with so- lennity and impressiveness. after which he delivered an instructive and high- ly interesting sermon, lasting about twenty minutes.
 "The Use and Abuse of Power" was the theme of his discourse. The sup ject afforded wide thought and deep logic, both of which the rabbi satis- factorily fulfiiled. His dicticn was se- lect and his delivery. generally dis tinct He drew his text from the words. Do Not Cypress Thy Neigh bor," which phrase, he said, was con- tained several times In the Bible. In his treatment of the subject, he eni- phasized the thought that mans &C., complishments in life are measured by his power. but man should not abuse this power to oppress his fellow be- ing.
 Rabbi Goldenson was introduced briefly by Rabbi A. J. Messing. Jr.. the retiring minister of kahl Mont gomery, who said that it was his pleas ure and his privilege to present to the congregation his colleague. Rabbi Goldenson of Lexington, Ky.
 The young rabbi will remain in Mont gomery today and he will conduct the services at the temple at 10 o'clock this morning when he will deliver an- other sermon.

One of the features of the recent con- vention of the Alabama Sunday School Association. which has illustrated the good that is to be derived by Montgom. cry from such gatherings, is the record of sales in souvenir postal cards to the visitors at the postoffice and other places about town where these are to be procured, during the three days of the big meeting here.
 No Less than 5000 of those souvenirs were sold to visiting delegates dur ing the convention, at the postofhce alone. and while the number purchased at the different news stands and drug stores could not be estimated. 1t Is thought the aggregates must nearly have dobuled that number. The souve- mfrs which were bought at the Mont gomery postofflee. were nearly all sent through the mails immediately upon their purchase. These were sent not only to relatives and friends of the city's guests living in other parts of the State. but many were sent out to cities in remote parts of the country.
