DEDICATION
SERVICES HELD
Rabbi Cohn Delivers Sermon.
, Recounting Changes Within
Past Ten Years; Banquet
Planned Sunday Night.
Rededication services were held
Friday night at Temple Israel, Park
avenue and Jackson streets, to mark
the tenth anniversary of the dedication
of the present edifice, -which is the
house of worship for the reform Jews
of this city.
Rabbi Frederick Cohn delivered the
sermon, using as his subject, "Ten
Years in the New Temple."
"Through the past 10 years we have
seen may changes," said Rabbi Cohn.
"We have seen our children grow up
to men and women, our loved ones
leave our sides and the beginning of
.the worldwide conflict. During this
lime one thing has not changed. That
is. Judaism. Through this time re
formed Judaism, always progressive,
has seen some changes, but the glori
ous principles of Judaism, which have
endured for 4,000 years, have seen no
change. We thank God for all that He
has given trs, and earnestly pray that
He may be with us yet in the years to
come."
Services opened with the singing of
"America" by the whole congregation.
The usual Friday night service was
read, following which the dedication
anthem, written for and sung at the
dedication of the temple in 1908, was
sung. "Memories" was played imme
diately before the sermon.
The work on the temple began in
1907. The original cost was $65,000.
Recently improvements have been
added at a cost of $5,000. Rabbi Cohn
made an effort in 1916 to reduce the
debt, which is now about $10,000. Dur
ing the campaign attout $7,250 was
raised by Dr. Cohn.
Children's Floral Service.
A children's floral service will be
held this morning at the temple. The
children of the religious school will
enter the temple, led by Boy Scouts
and bearing flags and flowers. The
flower service will be given. "Religion
and Patriotism" will be Dr. Cohn's
subject. National airs will be sung by
the children.
A banquet will be given' Sunday
night at the Blackstone. About 225
guests are expected. Toasts will be
given by the officers of the congrega
tion, by its past presidents and by the
heads of the temple organizations. Mr.
William Holzman will be toastmaster.
