Benzien Wednesday briefly re-
viewed city government in the past
and what he expects in the future.
The mayor who is retired car
penter and contractor praised the
cooperation of the city council
during the past two years. These
men, he said, had each contributed
over $50 hours to city government
in the past year alone. This
amounted to three full work weeks
and they receive no pay whatso-
ever.
There were also the men on the
zoning commission who gave free
ly of their time, and the city is
favored, he continued, with good
employees, and an excellent vol
unteer fire department.

QUESTION: Why is il custom
AIRY TO conclude the daily morning
prayers with a special Psalm. a
different Psalm being assigned to
each particular day of the week?
ANSWER: The Talmud relates
that it was customary for the
Levites to chant certain Psalms
which varied in accordance with
the particular day of the week,
after the offering of the daily sac
rifice called the "Korbon Tamid."
Since our prayers today are sub
stitutes for these regular daily
sacrifices, we too, initiating the
Levites, say these Psalms after
each morning service, varying the
Psalm with the day of the week.
x
QUESTION: Is there any par
ticular reason for the choice of
particular Psalm for q particular
day of the week?
! ANSWER: Yes. The selection Of
the particular Psalm was done
with an eye to the events that
took place on that particular day
of creation. Since Heaven and
Earth were created on the first
day, the twenty-fourth Psalm
which states that "The Earth is
the Lords :. for He has founded
it" was selected.
Since the Lord divided the
Heaven from the Earth on the
second day, the forty-eighth
Psalm was chosen for this day
which states "Great is the Lord
and greatly to be praised" On the
third day, the day that the Earth
was revealed by assembling the
waters in one place, the eighty
second Psalm was selected which
says, Sod stands in the congrega-
ton of the mighty"
On the fourth day the ninety
fourth Psalm is used because it
portrays the Lord as a CD OF
vengeance and the Lord will some
day take vengeance on those who
worship the Sun and the Moon
which were created on this day.
On the fifth day the eighty first
Psalm is sung because the fish and
fowl were created then to sing the
Lords praises. This Psalm says
"Sing aloud unto CD, ETC."
On the sixth day the ninety
third Psalm is sung. It declares
that the Lord is clothed in ma
jesty" because the work was fin
lished on the sixth day. Another
reason given is that this Psalm
has forty-five words and is the
numerical equivalent of the He
brew word Adam, the name OF
Imam, who was created on that day.
The seventh day is crowned with
the ninety-fourth Psalm because
this was supposed to have been
sung by Adam when he saw the
| first dawn of his life on the first
Sabbath.
