For Good of the
Community

l. states and in the cities 1t is needed in the
classes and the lotteries; in the callings, the
trades and the professions. Every other balm
has been tried and failed.
Men have thrown contracts to the winds.
Retailers have declined to accept the goods
ordered of the wholesaler The meter OF iron
has refused to take the metal which he agreed
to accept at specified price and period OF de-
livery
There has been more purely wanton murder
than in the history of the nation. Men and
women have been killing as though they were
rabbit hunting Each man has complained OF
the others price and yielded as little of his own
as he could and do business.
The young dance with lack of poise that
emulates the contortions of the savage. There
is stream of the malcontent married airing
their troubles in the courts For the bat of an
eye the obligation of the marriage altar is dis
regarded as rag. Men drive their automobiles
as though Satan sat in the seat. They MAIN and
kill and pass on with leer.
All know that the world is sick from the war
and needs wholesome help in order to straighten
out, yet each stands back for the other to give
that help. The spirit which led to heroism on
the battlefield has been smothered up in the sor-
did and selfish aftermath of horrible human
episode.
Men know these things and they have turned
at one another asking the way out of the be-
cloudment None answers, because none has
yet found the answer in his own heart. There is
no answer anywhere else. Mankind stands
naked before his Creator His only refuge is in
prayer
This prayer need not be in the synagogue, the
church on the stated occasion of prayer. 1t
should be there also, but it must be in the soil
tude of each mans communion with his God He
must bark back to that from which he issued and
to which he shall return rendering an account of
himself \
The mood to pray brings it's reward The heart
bent prayerward has already received its ans
wer. The man who turns to prayer has admitted
the conditions which he wishes changed. The
admission is the first step toward the TRANSMIT
tation.
There is no happiness in the voiding of con-
tracts, in the sde-stepping of ones share of the
burden, in the common obligation to descend
from the plane of war to that of peace. He is
happiest and most serene who has balanced off
his books without regard to which side the bal
ance lies, and begun anew.
This Strengthening out is not matter of detail
1t is one of willingness to do the right thing That
is where prayer applies He who goes to his
Creator with tangles comes away without them
Tangles and tortuosity do not exist among those
who pray.
Let no man consider himself above prayer It
is the law of his being When all else fails he

Preadergast;s
Holy Name Sermon

Following is the sermon preached
by Rev. Father Charles Prendergast
at the services in City Hall Park,
concluding the monster parade held
by the Holy Name societies of this
city last Sunday afternoon:
MY name shall be great among
the nations sayeth the Lord.
VERY Rev. Dean, Rev. Fathers,
dear Holy Name men:
I'VE have paraded and are gather
ed here today to show our reverence
and respect to the Holy Name of our
Saviour. 1t is a striking and inspir-
ing evidence of our faith in Him.
in whose name we are all to reach
our eternal salvation. 1t is a won
derful manifestation of he fact that,
no matter what our nationality. no
matter what tongue we speak, we
meet here on common grounding
dogmas of the true faith. And we all
love the name of the Founder of
that faith.
THE great poet who asked,
What's in a name?' gave US album
dant food for thought and specula-
ton. A name implies all that there
Is in the one that bears 1t. 1t gives
us an insight into the character OF
the individual. To US 1t is no tingling
brass nor sounding cymbal. 1t means
the bearers life and achievements.
There are two that stand out pro-
minently above all holy m They
eclipse in tr~anscendence all others.
In the old dispensation we have the
name of mountaineering Being of
beings on whom all depend. This
was a name of great awe and majes-
ty-a name that struck fear in the
hearts of men. A name that was
pronounced only on rare occasions.
In fact. the old law was a reign OF
fear and punishment.
Jehovah was the name given IN
the eternal God-the Creator or all
things and the very thought of this
name brought up before the minds
of the people, God in all His infinite
qualities.

SYNAGOGUE To
Be ERECTED
Hebrews Organize to Raise
Funds to Build Temple in
T0ttenviIIe

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 15.-He-
brews residing on this end Of the
island who have no place of wor-
ship, especially during the Jewish
holidays, have started a movement
for the of raising funds to-
wards the erection of a temple or
synagogue in Tottenville. This
movement began at the recent holi-
day period when the Ahavas Tsriel
Society a organized among the
congregation of Hebrews in this Sec
ton which held services in the
Masonic hall in Main street.
Michel L~evison, a retired mer-
chant was named the chairman of
the temporary organization. There
are about twenty-five members al
ready enrolled in the project and 1t
is expected that more will join at
the meeting that has been called for
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the home of Mr.. Levison for the
purpose Of electing permanent Of
ficers and discussing plans for the
campaign to raise funds.
In the recent holidays nearly $500
was subscribed to the fund n an
effort will be made to increase this
from time to time. 1t Is the object
of the society to secure a piece or
property in some good location on
which to erect the temple at first
and then to afterward make an ef-
fort to put up a building suitable
for worship. With the number OF
families of Jewish faith locating on
this end of the island it was thought
necessary to have a place of worship
Of their own for some time.
Services have been held in various
halls for the past several years. but
these do not afford a place to go al
any time during the week for those
who are strictly religious in the
Jewish faith.
