KAHL MONTGOMERY DECIDES TO
 PURCHASE INSTRUMENT.
Will Cost s4,50O and Will he One of the Finest in the Clty-Omcers Elected at Annual
 Meeting.

Temple Beth Or will have d new $4.500 organ. This was decided at the annual meeting of the congregation of Kahl Montgomery, held in the vestry rooms of the temple yesterday, when officers for the ensuing term were re- elected, the finances of the congrega- ton shown to be in an unusually strong condition, and interesting reports were received from officers. committees and Rabbi B. c. Ehrenreich.
 The recommendation for the purchase of an organ was contained in the conn prehensive report of President David Well, and the congregation cast 6 of Trustees to expend as much as $4,500 for the instrument Thas, in effect, means that the organ will be purchased. as President Well and the Board have been negotiating some time with man. ufacturers in reference to such a pur- chase.
 The new organ will be one of the fin- est in the city and. according to the instrument which the president and board now have in view, 1t will con- tain 1900 pipes with every improve ment known to the modern organ man. ufactory. The present organ has been in the temple twenty-eight years. and 1t has long been recognized that a new one was necessary, though not un- til yesterday did the congregation feel that the finances of the congregation justified purchase.
 The annual meeting of the congre- gation was a love feast. Though not largely attended, the members were en- thusiastic over the future and, in all action taken they were perfectly har- monious.
 Significant among the many things discussed. was the fact, brought out by the reports from the various officers and the Finance Committee, showing the congregation to be entirely free of debt. It was pointed out that Kahl Montgomery is among the few congre- gations which have no outstanding lia- bilities.
 David Well. the venerable President of Kahl Montgomery, was again hon- ored by being reelected to this place of honor, which he has held continu- ously for sixteen years. by the unani- nous approval of the congregation. Putting Judaism in Montgomery on a firm basis and exerting every effort in behalf of the sacred duty of the call- ing, has been a life work with Mir. Well. Other officers elected for the ensuing year were: Jacques Loeb, vice-Presideht; Abe Well, Treasurer; L. Young, Secretary; Jacques Braun. Sexton.
 The terms of once of four trustees easysgsa a1lds they were re-eiected for two vea<s as follows: Lee H. Well, N. LobmanS NJ. Mohr. and L.. Strarss. The terms of the remaining four trustees will expire year hence. They are &. SabeI. i, Well, Nathan Greil and M |. Kahn.
 A feature of the meeting was the elaborate report of Rabbi B. c. En- renreich containing number of time- ly recommendations.
 It was also noted that the congrega- tion now has the largest membership in its history. many new members hav- ing joined during the past twelve months.
 Affectionate tributes of respect were paid to the memory of Henry c. Moses and Mrs. Pauline M. Kahn. who died during the last quarter. MT. Moses died in New York 8 few weeks ago
