THE MARTINELLI RECITAL.
If the success of the Martinelli con-
cert, which opened the local concert
.eason on Tuesday night is a criterion,
Detroit music lovers are assured of
a wonderful season of musical offer-
ings by the world's great artists.
Martinelli was in splendid voice and
impressed his audience, which filled
the large Arcadia auditorium, most
favorably. He displayed a wealth of
vocal power, superb tone quality, and
a marvelous discrimination of intona-
tion and coloring. The program start-
ed with the beautiful "Che gelida Ma-
nilla" from "La ' Boheme," which
earned well deserved plaudits. Groups
of English, French and Italian songs
brought out the versatility of the
celebrated tenor, and developed re-
sponses from the vast audience that
became at time so vociferous that he
was compelled to render encores re-
peatedly. Mr. Martinelli closed with
the "Clown" song from "Pagliacci,"
which was received so well that he
gave an encore even after the program
had been officially completed.

efficient and fine spirited corps of
teachers that the foundations shall be
so laid that the structure shall endure.
Not the least of my joys arises from
the thought of the man with whom I
an to associate so intimately.' His
nobility of character, his abiding pa-
tience, his keen foresight, his excel-
lent wisdom and gentleness of spirit,
shall cause my spirit to unfold and
flourish in the bright warmth of his
radiating personality. May I state
without exaggeration on this occa-
sion, that my colleague is the very
only man in the ministry under whom
I would have consented to work? I
have felt and da feel now that in ad-
dition to the splendid field for work,
that my association with this 1, -4-let
among men, whom I love as a brother
and for whom no sacrifice on my part
would be too much, would be among
my most precious treasures, a boon
to be procured nowhere else. With
him to guide and. to teach, with his
always helpful suggestions and with
the inspiration I constantly draw from
her who has taken her place by my
side, my ministry must and shall re-
dound to the glory of God and the
weal of His people.
It is in this spirit that I pray for
the .uccessiul fruition of my work,
not for material gain, nor for self-
glorification, but for a life useful and
fruitful in good.
God, Eternal Lord, Thou in, whom
I place my trust, send unto me an un-
shaken strength to perform Thy work,
keep rny, soul pure and if I err let it
be in the frailty of human-kind rather
than the wanton erring of a rebellious
spirit.
"God make my life a little light,
\Vithin the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower
Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong
And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith that never waxeth dim
In all Thy wondrous ways."
Amen.

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of The Jewish Chron-
icle:—
The recent announcements in The
Jewish Chronicle of the erection of
several new orthodox synagogues in
Detroit is of great interest in view of
the fact that these new congregations
are providing facilities for the activi-
ties of the ladies and young folks of
the congregations.
Too often we hear the criticism
made of a former member of an orth-
odox congregatiori when he joins a
reform temple that "he has made a
few dollars, and now wants to better
his social position." I do not think
this is true in the majority of such
cases. I believe that most of the for-
mer orthodox Jews join the reform
movement because they realize it is
the only religious influence that ap-
peals to our children, who represent
native-born American
g
, rk•:.;eration.

:5 al, 11 ar.d when the ortho-
dox synagogue must take notice that
the custom of the segregation of the
sexes at service is entirely out of har-
mony with the progression of modern
society. If the orthodox synagogues
would abolish this outgrown idea and
modernize the prayers to include re-
sponsive. reading in English so that
our young people would know what
they meant, I believe it would be a
great influence in keeping the ortho-
dox Jew in the orthodox synagogue.
The acquisition of wealth is not the
reason for the influx into the reform
movement. The fault is with the
failure of the orthodox synagogue to
understand the needs of our young
people..
It is very significant then, that the
new synagogues have provided facili-
ties for young people. It evidences a
step forward in the modernization of
the orthodox synagogue, without
which it must lose in numbers and
influence.
