Nearly all the contests are from the
South, where many negroes claim they

CONFIRMATION
SERVICE FRIDAY
Misses Bernice Thalheimer and Selma
I Sch1Oss VIII Be Confirmed.
Impressive Services at the
Temple.

Next Friday is an important day in
the Jewish religious calendar. 1t
marks the Festival of Weeks, a bril-
liant and joyous holiday with dou-
bile significance. On the one hand it is
the feast that used to celebrate the
summer harvest in ancient Palestine,
furnishing the occasion for many glad
some festivities. Its agricultural sig
nifcance has not been lost sight of
in modern times for the welfare of
every country depends in the last in
stance on the products of the farm.
At all events it offers the theme Of
Nature as an appropriate subject for
many pulpit Obscure. On the other
hand, the chief significance of the FEES
tiyal of Weeks lies in the fact that it
commentaries the receiving of the
essence of the Hebrew religion, the
Ten Commandments, voluntarily as
sumed as the rule OF life by the gen.
Grafton of the wilderness. 1t is this
phase of the festival which is brought
into special prominence in these lat
ter days. With this idea as a back
ground. the feast has been chosen
within the last one hundred years as
the day when Jewish boys and girls
are confirmed in the faith of their faith
ers. This confirmation is not like
combinations in other denominations,
a sacrament, that is a rite that pur-
ports to transform the child somehow
into a different being. 1t is merely
the voluntary assumption of the an
cestral religion by the child after a
long period of study lasting five years
or more. during which time its emo
tional life has been awakened and its
intellect enriched by ethics, history
and similar studies. The ceremony
is usually made Very impressive, the
Children seldom forgetting the memo
ries Of Confirmation Day.
Al the local Temple Friday morn
ing the Confirmation service will be
symbolical in its nature as in former
years, Rabbi Frisch works out a new
fgurative service every year. This

revery and a dream this is? How Is II
possible for a trustee. acting for his
ward in chancery or for any one else.

diagnosis of the President Is perfectly
correct. but in most of the Instances

full or impracticabe. From the violent
fervor OF his utterances. there is an
idea running through the public mind
that he has come to the conclusion
that every man engaged in large

that every good citizen OF the land
ought to spend a least one term in the
