My Congregation. On this solemn Day, the return of
which the Judge of all the living may not destine me
to hail again, I come before you a suppliant. It lies
in your power to sweeten whatevser measure of exist
-ance may be allotted to me upon earth.
Believe me that No personal ambition inspired inspired the
thought which gave origin to an institution with which
my name is closely connected. To promote the
instruction of youths, who will devote the learning, attain-
ed and all the energy they possess to the service of the
religion vigilantly watched over by the good and true
in Israel, was the sole controlling object of my endeavour.
"The Jewish Theological Seminary", will, I fervently
hope, prove that the honor of legitimate Judaism is safe
in trustworthy hands; that it will not be sacrificed to
shifting expediency. When called hence, I shall have
left behind what will permanently benefit the cause,
thatfor which I was expected to labor for, while on this side of
the grave. Men and women who have remained
uninfluenced for good by the preaching of their elders,
may readily follow the lead of their coevals, coming to them
well-equipped in a knowledge sound and persuasive.
