THE BOSTON Testimonial
to DR.. SilaS Taylor, scheduled
to be held near the approach
of New Years Eve, on Dec.
18th at Shraton Plaza Hotel,
should be an event fully at
tended by the many friends
the genial good Doctor has
made among both white and
colored Bay Staters over the
years. Politically, we may not
all have agreed with Shag,
but we can all agree he is a
jolly good fellow and a mighty
good sport.
THE POLITICAL front in
the Bay State may never
again elevate a man of color
who has held the mantle of
leadership for his party as
long and as faithful. as Shag
Taylor. Some may have queS-
toned his actual power, but
he was always made to look
strong by his Party chiefs
and real friends, such as Jim
Curley. Whenever Convention
time rolled around, there was
DR.. Silas Taylor right up in
front.
ADAM POWELL succeeded
in winning the Bay State
votes for Mr.. Eisenhower, but
DR.. Taylor succeeded in keep
ing the State for his Party.
The fact is the Republican
Party has not created any
counter colored rival com
parable to DR.. Taylor in this
state. Over the years, the
COP. has sad the same
chance and is just beginning
to try to rectify the mistake.
But the COP has a long way
to go.
THE CRITICS have liked
to blame DR.. Taylor for a lot

visit. The Germans were anxious to remove Farley
from the embassy's influence in order to propa-
gandize him. The official German memo said the
attempt with the help of Strassburger, to get
Farley away from the American Embassy
failed"
Reporting on Strassburger's dislike for anti
Nazi American diplomat the memo said "Strass-
burger had to be very careful in order to avoid
appearing as too pro-German and consequently the
conversation becoming cautious in his presence"
The Nazi official who wrote the memo told how
the anti-Nazi American embassy First Secretary
r. H. Geist) arranged an excursion for Farley. The
main objective of this sole sightseeing trip was
concentration camp To this the StrassburgerS (Mr.
and Mrs) were also invited but declined, and ex-
pressed to me very plainly their indignation at this

According to the German report, StrasSburger
reported to the Germans remarks by GeiSt in a
private conversation in the embassy. The embassy
had granted courtesieS and hospitality to Strass-
burger because of his American nationality and
background as an important citizen. From the
embassy Strassburger took to the Germans his i'm
pressions and evauation of American personnel,

limited that he had the impression that the Amer-
can Embassy here had a rather good net of listen

PLAIN TALK
ONE MOVING HOUR
BY ALFRED SEGAL

1t was a recent Sabbath morn
ing in temple and a LOT of US were
crying there or we were
squeezing eYelids together to keep
tell-tale tears in or blowing
noses and dabbing eyes by way of
pretending that il was colds that
were bothering us. II was all on
account of is young men who
were being ordained TO be rabbis
that morning. They had marched
up the altar one by one TO take
the conservation. and not one
word of that service being heard
by any one else of the several
thousand in the big temple. II was
all whispered between God and
them and their teacher who was
blessing them and telling them of
his hopes for them.
Myself, l had never experienced
anything so moving in syna-
gogue. You know how it is gener-
ally at a service in synagogue, and
the same thing can be said about
worship in any church. The peo-
pie have all come there to be with
God for few hours of their lives,
to raise up their hearts, to medi-
tate on all that's bigger and better
beyond their daily lives.
But. all at once one may find
his mind running away from it all.
He begins TO think of something
else altogether ;. his own small
affairs -. how's the business
going in these hours when he's
away from it? or. he forgot
TO leave some instructions at the
office or the small argument
he had with his wife before they
started to temple that morning {.
or the matter of his wife and what
shall he write about for next
week? After while he discovers
how far he has been straYing from
the holy things of the synagogue
Tor the church) and he hurries
back to God. t43
That morning in the temple it
was quite different from that. 1t
was like moving drama for us
all and we cried as we do
when one of those TV shows gets
to our hearts. / guess in that hour
in the temple, we are more deeply
ourselves than we ever had been
before at worship. t.5
Somehow we could feel that
God really was around. as these

themselves for His service. It was
a chapter of continuity. Our

on. as in the millenia before. still
giving men to carry on from
where we all started at Sinai :.
No end of the ancient story :. :.
new men dedicating themselves
for leadership on the timeless
march toward righteousness and
justice and kindness no end
