How a Rabbi preach., to Catholic
soldiers and conducted services for
colored troops on a transport bound
for France, was told today by the
Jewish Welfare Board from a letter
by l'rivate Chaplain Harry S. Rich-
mond, of Trinidad, Colorado.
Chaplain Richmond spent • six
months as a private in the regular
army. On shipboard en route to
France he conducted services on Fri-
day night and Saturday morning fur
Jewish soldiers.
"I addressed them on both occa•
sions," he wrote, "and found them
happy of the opportunity to be to-
gether for service's on the steamer—
something they had never expected.
"On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, I
conducted a service with the aid of
the "V" worker for the Catholic boys,
and addressed them on 'Self Pride.'
About 200 attended.
"At 10 o'clock, another service was
hild for the colored troops on deck,
About 7(5) were present. I addressed
them on 'Keep Up the Fighting
Spirit.' At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
I conducted another service for all
the people on deck, addressing them
on 'The Meaning of Densocracy.'"

With the great growth of Lansing,
in the last few years, many Jewish
people have come to the city to lo-
cate. A year or so ago Mrs. Phillip
Joseph established a Jewish religious
school for the boys and girls of the
faith, the first organization of its
kind in t he c ity. This has been con-
tinned under the direction of Miss
harlotte K minus and Alex Cohen. It
meets every Sunday morning. The
school has had a membership of
more than Jul young people.
Dr. Samuel S. hlayerberg, associate
rabbi of Temple Beth El of Detroit,
of which Dr. Franklin is rabbi, visit-
ed Lansing and gave an address to a
large audience of Jewish people, at
the C. C. T. hall. His subject was
"Judaism as a Religion and America
as Our Country."
The meeting was held with a view
of soon having a Jewish temple in
Lansing and fur providing for a rabbi
and assistants for the religious Sab-
bath school work for the children.
The session was called under the
auspices of the 'Vital Brith lodge, the
committee for which was composed

I laving answered a call to other fields of endeavor which will

CHRONICLE.
With deep gratitude for having known so many warm and
sincere friends ill Detroit, I leave feeling convinced that my work
in the future will lie better done and life memories will always be
happier, because of m• experience of the kindness and neighborli-
ness of the people of Detroit. Sorry as I am to leave my work in
this city, yet I leave happy in the thought that THE JEWISH
CIIRONICLE will be continued in safe and competent hands.
Mr. Nathan J. Gould, one of the new publishers, has been my
co-worker for several years in helping to bring this paper to its

Mr. Joseph J. Cummins is a young business man of keen execu-
tive ability, who brings to the new management an experience in
the newspaper field that will redound to the great benefit of the

able young men enjoy the confidence and co-operation of the entire

also express my general thankfulness toward the whole Jewish com-
