without salary. Mrs. George Levy has
been engaged as assistant secretary.
| The reports of the various officers
were received. The president, in his
ample report, outlined the work done

quent and scholarly sermons delivered
by DIR. Friedman; the work of the

| THE most important event Of the

new Temple. The able and ener

matter, has succeeded in enlisting to
his aid committee of young men.
able and energetic like himself. to as
sist him. That he has wisely chosen
| has already been demonstrated, for
| they have not been discouraged by the
| habitual fault finders, ever ready with
some excuse not to separate them
selves from a few dollars, no matter
| how noble the cause. These men can
only be pitied, but we have an utter
contempt for those men who not only
| will not give themselves nut also try
| to keep others from giving, and am
| sorry to say that we have some such
among our members, tho not many.
They exist in every community; we
had the same trouble in building the
| present Temple in Denver. and had it
not been for the determined stand of
the enthusiastic supporters, we should
probably still be at 9th and Curtis.
Some say that our Temple is large
enough and is only filled on certain
occasions. not thinking that II every
member of Temple Emanuel would
come we would be unable to find seats
for them. Selfishly, they care only
for themselves. not thinking that we
desire to accommodate our co-rclig-
ionists who apply for nffilintion with
us. We do not intend to erect n Tenn
pie more beautiful tlmn the one we
now have. 1t is not ostentatious dis
play that we desire. Let us hope that
we will during the coming year sue
| coed in raising sufficient funds to en-
able us to undertake the building of
this House Of Prayer for all, to the
glory of God and the service of hui
manity."

ito inform you that our friend Mr..
Iwetow. the highly efficient financial
secretary Of our congregation. has de-
| cided to leave Denver and make Chi
| cago his future home. He surely will
| be missed. His gcniulity and affabil.
| ;ty. his universal kindness and court
| esy have endeared him to all with
| whom he came in contact. Congrega-
| ton Emanuel will lose one of its most
useful members and our community a
most respected citizen. We wish him
success in all of his undertakings. to-
| gether with health and happiness. !
respectfully recommend that cont
mittee be appointed to draft suitable
resolutions to be presented to Mr..
IwetOw on his departure for his new
home in appreciation of his valuable
service.
President Frankel bespoke the as
sistance of all members to the Central
Aid Society and Shcltering Home for
Jewish children, remembered the many
members of the congregation who had
been called by death. He called the
attention of the members to the Henry
Ford incident, with the splendid reac-
ton which these anti-Semitic attacks
have had in rousing the Americanism
of Jew and nOn-Jew.
Concluding this report he said:
Permit me to express my confidence
that the committee soliciting funds for
the new Temple will meet with Il
ready, loyal and liberal response from
our members. each donating according
to his ability as God has blessed his
efforts. I have worshiped in the 10Th
Street Temple, the first Jewish House
of Prayer to be erected in Denver; l
was present at tho dedication Of the
9th Street Temple. as we'll as at the
dedication of our present Temple.
