of Hebrew Congregations, at
Buffalo, will be recorded as one
of the most successful and salts
factory in the history of this
great organization. Not only,
however, was this convention
notable because of the large
number of delegates present and
the great enthusiasm apparent
at various stages of the proceed
ings, but what is much more i'm
portant, fine spirit pervaded
the gathering from beginning to
end. The men and women who
foregathered at Buffalo were
earnest and eager. The papers
presented were of an unusually
high order of merit and the dis
cussions moved on lofty plane.
The enforced absence of Nh.
j. Walter Freiberg, the president
of the Union, was the sad feat
ure of the meeting. The reading
of his splendid report was follow.
ed by the adoption of a resolu-
ton by a rising vote to send him
message expressive of the re-
greet occasioned by his absence
and of the hope that he would b.
restored soon to full health. His
genial presence was missed at
every turn, anu it was the often
expressed hope that at the next
biennial convention he would be
found at his accustomed post in
perfect vigor. His unanimous re-
election as president of the
Union at the post-convention
meeting of the Executive Board,
Thursday afternoon, indicates
the high esteem in which this
great-hearted and high-souled
co-religionist is held by the Jews
Of the country, speaking through
their accredited representatives.
Possibly the most gratifying
feature of the meeting was the
presence there of three true and
tried veterans, the Hon. Simon
Wolf, of Washington; the Hon.
Simon w. Rosendale, of Albany,
and the Hon. Josiah Cohen, of
Plttsburg. The Union has been
in existence half a century, bar
ring two years, and during these
forty-eight years these three
great Americans of the Jewish
faith have never failed in their
devotion. AS far as the writer
knows, they have been present
at all the conventions of tn.
Union and from the very begin
ming have been outstanding fig
ures. Isaac M. Wise, the great
founder of the Union, had no
more loyal supporters. Vigorous

and admired octogenarians are,

the religious separation of Jew
ry and as negating Jewish ma.
tional separation, other than ;
American nationalism. And in a
similar strain spake the Wash
ington patriach, Simon Wolf,
when, in his beautiful speech at
the banquet, Tuesday evening,
he declared in his fine perora-
ton, "Our Jerusalem is here,
where the morning stars of con-
cord, opportunity and religious
liberty shine forever and aye.
The homeland founded by Wash
ington, preserved by Lincoln,
and maintained by the deathless
valor of our brave boys who
sleep under the peoples in Elan
ders Field and Argonne Woods,
is our homeland, and none 9TH
err" And in his extempore adj
dress to the convention, on We'd
nesday, Judge Cohen in his own
vigorous way, sounded a similar
note. AS observed and listened
to these three remarkable NEIL
so youthful in spirit despite the
advancing years, a silent prayer
gushed forth from my heart
that they be spared to be with
US at many a future convention,
as intensely Jewish in their faith
as fervidly American in their
nationality, and as devotedly at
tached to the Union and all the
high things for which it stands,
as they have been during the
half-century of achievement that
lies behind us. They have con-
tributed very great share to-
wards the history of the Union,
and on its annals their names
stand in the very front rank.
The painstaking and compre-
hensive report of the Commits
sion of Congregational Member
ship, written and presented by
the chairman, DR.. NJ. H. Harris,
of New York, gave everyone who
heard it, and will give everyone
who will read it, furiously to
think, as the French phrase so
strikingly puts it. DR.. Harris
conclusions, drawn from the sur
vey of religious conditions, were
not very encouraging. But the
hope is strong that now that the
faults in our congregational and
religious life have been so clear
ly set forth by DR.. Harris and
his neutrality-suspicious. the
remedies will be applied for the
removal of our ills by the men,

munities. The fine addresses

the Round Table discussion on
the theme, What a Layman
Can Do For Judaism" Mr..
Aaron's incisive and strong SEN
fences, Mr.. Rosenberg's compre-
hensive review, and Mrs. Simon's
clear analysis of what woman's
contribution should be, present
er a rare combination of intel

warmth. If the convention had
offered nothing more than this
symposium, dayyenu, it would
have been enough, and more
than enough. The addresses at
the banquet from Mr. Simon

toast, "The Pioneers" already
mentioned, to DR.. Nathan Krass'

this leading social feature of the
convention.

figured in our money. was nearly
$4,000. II could hold 52S hogsheads
and the value at that time of the wine
IT contained was in the neighborhood
Of $4,000.
When the cellarer drew wine out of
the cask he assembled several flights of
wooden stairs leading TO the top i;
about the miGdle was a bunghole, into
which was inserted an instrument
made I'm the form OF a spout. with
which the wine was drawn up and

purpose.
There was another tun built, evident
