A Young Peoples' Organization That is Doing
Big Things!

Something About the Young Peoples' Society of Temple Beth El;
It Officers and Undertakings

Tem pl eBeth I.l , tyliirh lays
claim to the distinction of having
the largest reform Jewish congre-
gation in America, excepting only
the big. congregations -of New
York, Chicago, and Philadelphia,
can also lay claim to one of the
most nourishing and prosperous
young people s organizations. This
society, which has a membership
of three htindred, has taken the
initiative in many civic and social
enterprises, including the estab-
lishment of a "self-respect fund"
for the United Js•wish Charities.
This latter venture is maintain-
ed with the idea of supplying.
funds to people who are tempor-
arily compered to ask for assist-
ance and yet feel repugnance at
the idea of accepting- charity.
any worthy people have fai'ed
to secure ass'stance merely be-
cause of then reticnce in accept -
ing charity and the establishment
of the "self-respect fund" was
aimed at the suceoring of these
people.
The Young People's Society of
the Temple has pledged itself to
contribute $.00 a year to this
fund. This money is loaned to
worthy applicants, without secur-
ity, and a goodly share is return-
ed each year.
This same organization 'main-
, tains the only Dramatic League
in America, affi'iated •.with any
religious body
The Drama Club studies the
better drama of the day, under the
able supervision and direction of
\ Ir. Frank Tompkins, head of the
English Department of the Cen-
tral High School. From time to
time prominent theatrical men
have addressed the Drama Club.

The organization's hospitality
Committee is composed of young
men, who make the rounds Of the
prominent hotels each xveek and
extend invitations to worship to
all the Jewish guests. This work
has helped materially to expand
the usefulness and influence . of
Tennde Beth El.
At the present time the Young . ,
People's Society is making ar-
rangements for theproduction of
a stupendous musical show, in
which only the male members will
participate. This production,
which will be given on the even-
ing. of April 10th, will be coached
by well-known professionals, and
both music and book will he the
work of some of the talented
members.
"Hie Young People's Society .
of Temple Beth El," said Milton
Alexander, its preident, "is an
instrument for service to the com-
munity ( )ur im•mbers ape cc -
el- lilted from a number of con-
gregations—we draw no lines be-
yond a demand that every mem-
ber be of such moral standing
that every other member need
have no reticence about meeting
Bing on c(immoll ground. Aside
from our more serious undertak-
ings, we make it possible fo r Jew-
ish young men and women to
meet under ideal social conditions
and yet avail lhemselves of the
yarn Ills forms of entertainment
which appeal to them most."
An invitation is issued to all
Jewish young men who would like

A MAN OF SUBSTANCE.

You don't want to be a miser, you don't expect to be a
millionaire; but von ought to be a man. of substance. Ben
Franklin said it is hard to make an empty sack stand up. To
have no money is to have weak knees and a limp backbone.
You are afraid of other people and you don't think much of
yourself.• Get a little money ahead and so keep your chin up.
Face the world unafraid and he a man among men.
