Furniture of Lasting
Satisfaction
There is always a reflection of good taste and
quality in furniture that is harmonious in style
and grouping.
Furniture manufactured and sold in our shops
really acquires a personality as time goes on. There
is a deep sense of pride in possessing furniture of
beautiful design and sturdy, durable quality.
In the illustration above is shown an interesting
grouping which is a true masterpiece of the furni-
ture-builders' craft which will inspire real pride
and joy in its possession,
The Console and Mirror sell for the very low
price of $288 complete. The Foot Stool is a sepa-
rate unit and sells for $56. These pieces may be
had in various woods and colorings.
We will be glad to have you call at our shops
and have our representative show you a great
variety of such groupings and interesting pieces.
And you will be surprised at the comparatviely low
cost of buying furniture of this quality.
We have prepared a folder covering several
small attractive pieces which we will be glad to
mail upon request.

Institute of Religion in New York
City. Ile said:
"In response to a letter from the
Free Synagogue of New York City,
stating that it proposed to establish
on Institute of Religion in New York
City for the purpose of training men
'for the liberal Jewish ministry, and
suggesting co-operation on the part of
the Union, a committee was appointed
to eonter with officers of the Free
Synagogue. After a conference, the
committee reported that the plan of
co-operation submitted by the Free
Synagogue was not feasible, and the
Executive Board subsequently adopted
the report of this committee. As the
Institute of Religion has now been
established, we wish it abundant suc-
cess."
Resolutions in memoriam were
passed by the Union for two former
presidents whose death occurred dur-
ing the year. J. Walter Freiberg,
who was president from 1911 to 1921,
and Louis J. Goldman, who was head
of the organization from 1907 to
1911, for Jacob R. Morse and Sig-
mund Kohlnian, members of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Union and Rabbi
Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago.
The report of the year's activities
of the Board of Delegates on Civil
Rights of the Union of American He-
brew Congregations, under the chair-
manship of Simon Wolf, revealed wide
range of activities from representa-
tions made to the United States Gov-
ernment with reference to the unjust
methods used in the application of
the immigration law to co-operation
with international agencies committed
to the carrying out of the minority
protective guarantees of the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations.
Faculty Changes.
Changes in the faculty of Ilebrew
Union College at Cincinnati, which
is supported by the Union, were an-
nounced when Dr. Julian Morgen-
stern, newly appointed president of
the college, tendered his report of the
activities of the college during the
last year. I)r. Morgenstern has been
acting president of the college since
November, 1921, and was prior to that
time a member of its faculty, suc-
ceeding Dr. Gotthard Deutsch. New
members of the tenuity are Dr. Israel
Belton, I)r. Abraham Cronbach, Dr.
Henry Slonimsky and I)r. Louis B.
Wolfenstein. The college ordained
six graduates as rabbis in June and
at present has twenty-eight students
in the collegiate department and fifty-
three in its preparatory school. One
of those students is the son of an
alumnus. The honorary degree of
Doctor of Ilebrew Law was conferred
during the year on the Hon. Simon
Wolf of Washington, D. C., Dr. Louis
Grossman and Dr. Moses Rotten-
Weiser.
The Board of Governors recom-
mended to the Executive Board of
Hebrew Union College the establish-
ment in New York City of a school
for the training of Jewish teachers
for the religious schools of reform
synagogues.
The breaking of ground for the new
dormitory at Hebrew Union College,
the gift of the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods, and the new
gymnasium, gift of Mrs. .1. Walter
Freiberg, were outstanding features
of the year's work.
A collection of medallions tracing
the history of the Jews in Europe
has been added to the collections in
the museums of Hebrew Union Col-
lege, according to the report sub-
mitted by Mrs. J. Walter Freiberg.
The collection comprises seals and
medallions, silver and bronze and
aluminum, some of which are historic
and others portrait.
Twenty-three thousand editors, jur-
ists, ministers and educators through-
out the country have been receiving
tracts on Jewish subjects 'published
by the Tract Commission of the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations.
The sub-committee on Annual Ser-
mon Pamphlet has supplied 340 corn-
munities that are without religious
leaders with 13 sermons for different
holiday occasions.
The commission on Jewish Religious
Educational Literature, Rabbi David
Philipson, chairman, has added four
new publications to the number of
those that have appeared under its
supervision. They are: "Ilebrew
Primer, Pupil's Book," by Rabbi Max
Reichler; "Hebrew Primer, Teacher's
Book," by the same author; "The Girl
from Moab, a Harvest Play," by
Rabbi Joseph Leiser, and "A Make
Believe Chanukah," a Chanukah play
by the same author. In addition three
new books: "Festivals in the Religious
School," by Mrs. Lee J. Levinger;
"Hebrew Manual, Pupil's Book," by
Rabbi Max Reichler and "Hebrew
Manual, Teacher's Ilsiok," by the same
author—are on press and will appear
in the spring of 1923.
tion of a personal God and of the
individual accountability of men and
women. There is evident almost
everywhere in the world the need for
a restoration of the soul of religious
devotion; for individual consecration
to that ideal of religion, which recog-
nizes it as able to give something that
neither patriotism nor civic virtue can
ever afford. The bunion race, or cer-
tainly great and potential sections of
it, has been getting away from its
religious moorings. It needs a re-
vival of the sincere conception of
personal relationship of God to man,
and of man to God; a restoration of

ish ideal, in accordance with the
American spirit."
Mr. Rosenwald also appealed to the
convention to ask congress to repeal
the sacramental wine privilege from
Jewish congregations, and said: "We
are all aware of the scandals that
have arisen in connection with the en-
forcement of the prohibition law , or to
be more accurate, in connection with
certain exceptions made by the law
in favor of sacramental wine. Ortho-
dox as well as reform rabbis and re-
ligious bodies have reiterated the fact
that it in not necessary to use wine
for sacramental purposes, because
grape juice can be used as a substi-
tute. Nevertheless, there are known
to be certain men who under the guise
of religion have misused the privilege
granted by congress and have made
a business of selling wine permits
contrary to the intent of the law. I
have no way of telling whether this
practice is limited or extensive. Even
if it were limited to one man in one =
city it would be our business to help =
the government stamp out this pear- =
tice and to bring punishment upon
the head of anyone who is engaged =
in circumventing the law. As God-
fearing men and law abiding citizens
we ought to help to bring offenders =
to task. If these offenders operate
in the name of religion we should
accept this challenge to our self-re-
spect. I am, therefore, in favor of
having this convention go on record _
on this subject, stating in the first
place in terms that cannot lie misun-
derstood the fact that we believe that
it is not necessary to use wine for
sacramental purposes and in the sec-
ond place that we petition congress =
or whatever body is entrusted with
the enforcement of the prohibition
law to take cognizance of our attitud e
and to withdraw the privilege of s
ramentai wine from Jewish minist
and congregations."

"High In Quality—Not in Price"
• Mr. Alexander's Address.
Mr. Alexander spoke of the power
of "organization" in Jewry to revive=
el
theprestige of the synagogue. "The I=
synagogue has been revived by the=
power of that subtle thing which we
know as organization," he said.
"Slowly, steadily, certainly, the leth-i=
orgy into which our people had fallen =
has been driven away. A religious
rennaisance has taken place in =
Jewry. The combined efforts of the
forces that are here gathered together
in Jubilee Council are responsible for
this re-awakening.
" Our first responsibility is unques-
tionably to the millions who have no
synagogue affiliation. I say 'millions'
advisedly, because according to the
best figures available, less than 750,-
000 Jews in America have any re-
ligious affiliations whatever. It is
these unsynagogued hordes with
whom, above all others we must con-
cern ourselves; it is from their ranks
that the Atheists, Anarchists, and
Free-Lovers are recruited. It is only
by bringing them back to the Temple,
and the influence of the spiritual life
that they can be placed above th e
low moral plane to which many of
them have fallen.
"How shall this be done? By call-
ing upon the methods of modern or-
