munity of the United States grow from an
insignificant handful to conspicuous and
important constituent Of the national moral
forces. In many of the movements that
have guided the community from it's small
beginnings to its present position you have
taken part and have at times taken the In
itiative. 1t was, for example, due to your
experiences in the Jewish ward Of the
Frankfort-on- Main hospital in 1851 that the
idea started of having q Jewish hos
pital in New York which led ultimately to
the erection Of the Mount Sinai hospital.
When the first thrush Of immigrants ar

of the Baron de Hirsch fund. and in that
capacity helped to organize and direct its
many beneflcent activities in America and
well earned the position Of honorary gen.

Connection With Jewish Seminary,
"a consistent adherent to the traditional
principles and practices of Judaism, you
have been associated with the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary Association of New York,
for which for time you acted as president
and were successful in bringing about
satisfactory reorganization.
These philanthropic activities and those
enumerated only from a small portion of
the many movements with which you have
been officially connected, would have suf-
feed to fill out a life even more strenuous
than yours. yet they have been supplement-
ed by innumerable deeds of kindness and
charity executed in your private capacity in
an transformations and inconspicuous man

bled the kindness of the act. Above ALL you
have infused spirit of loving kindness and
affection in all your relations with your
fellow men. that it has become both a
pleasure and an honor to work for you, with
you.
TT IS. therefore, with feelings no less Of
loving affection than OF esteem that we
wish you many years yet of health and hap
piness, to enjoy the love and honor which
your exertions for the good Of your fellow
creatures pre-eminently deserve.
