and 10 the city in which he dwclt.
He was kindly and gentle in man

toward his associates, and respected
and beloved by all who came in con
tact with him. He had an abiding
faith in his religion. trust and con-
fdence in his fellowmen. and his
every act was inspired by a strict
sense Of justice and of righteous
ness His long and useful life will
constitute a proud page in the annals
of this Congregation. and he Will be
long remembered with love and high
esteem by all who had the good
fortune 20 be associated with him.
