Mr. Perhnan dwelt on the effect of

The economic condition of many fam-
ilies, he said, was largely responsible
for the break up of home life. Also,
the indifference to things Jewish, such
as observance of ceremonials on Fri-
day night, the sabliath and the holi-
days, have their direful effect on the
growing generation. Ile criticised
