The writer has personal knowledge
OF the achievement of one tenant

ISTER OF B'NAI ZION.
OF SHREVEPORT.


At meeting of the B'Nai Zion con-

called by Rabbi Moses P. Jacobson,
DR.. Jacobson rendered his resignation
as minister to the congregation, his
connection with the local temple to
take effect at the expiration Of the
Feast Of Booths holidays. His letter
Of resignation is as follows:
Shreveport, La, Oct. z, 1919.
Mr.. Sidney L. Herold, President, and
members Of the B'Nai Zion Congre-
cation:
Shreveport, La.
Brethren:
II herewith respectfully, and may
add, reluctantly request the congre-
cation to release me from my con.
tract with it Immediately with the
close Of the present holiday season.
The reasons prompting this request
are wholly subjective. I feel that /
must have at least years rest from
the ministry and from all thought Of
the ministry.
10 Years in Shreveport.
my ministerial career covers now
period of thirty three years, eigh-
teen Of which have spent in your
pulpit. The annual summer vacation,
as | have time and again explained to
many Of you, has never been a vaca-
ton to me. On the contrary it has
been period of but more concentrated
study for the worn If the year ahead.
have found the duties of the profess
sion, for myself at least, both exacting
and unremitting. What has contributed
OF recent years to accentuate their dit.
ficulty for me has been the deepening
impression that at least my ministry
here meets merely a formal function
and exerts but an inconsiderable influ-
ence upon individual life and charac-
ter. Under these circumstances in
my preparation for the pulpit, which,
l regard after all the most iportant
and fundamentally the only sanctioning
element in the ministry. seem to N.Y.
self to be losing somewhat in spontan.
ity Perhaps year or so of other en-
ployment, should I discover any, may
freshen by ardors.
Imperative Duty.
my extended period of service
here has attached me warmly to this
field Of Jewish work and has knit
me in bonds Of close and intimate
friendship with the vast majority Of
you. l believe am warranted in the
statement that fully nine-tenths of
not only our congregational member
ship, but Of likewise the entire Jew
ish community, reciprocate toward
me the cordial sentiments I enter
tain toward them. That my leaving
here will be sincerely deplored by
80 great proportion Of you has, l
assure you, made it exceedingly pain
full to me to come to a conclusion
which seems to me the imperative
duty I owe alike to your best inter-
ests and my own spiritual wholesome
ness.

is that I am not abandoning an I'M
