pavement Society was given in Memorial hall,
Wednesday, evening, March goth, by Rabbi
-a-'7s tleischer of Boston, whose subject
was democracy" Rabbi Fleischer is the
a9e''= vi new religious movement that has
le'rar creed nor church. Formerly rabbi of
Temple Aiath Israel he began in January last
70 s1a sunday afternoon meetings in the
Majestic fheater, Boston, for church goers.

and had Uot gone over, and was not at all like

"a,el specially to that element of the COM
Ala'l which has grown away from the estab-
