The glowing zeal of the new occupants of vacant
pulpits, may enkindle in the hearts of a rising genera-
tion the fire of enthusiasm for the too often deserted Torah. And
if there be any truth in the Rabbinical saying that
a mention by the living of lessons formerly imparted
by teachers who are sleeping in the dust, makes the
lips of the departed ~~move~~ ~~smile~~ move approvingly, I will rejoice in spirit,
when from the synagogue of the Mickvé Israel con
-gregation, words of no equivocal meaning which I have
uttered, shall echo forth. I shall then ~~realize~~ feel assured
that I have worked to a purpose.

Already acceptable fruits of my planting have sprung
up forth. Three students searchingly examined in high
branches of our literature, have been declared fitted to
wear the ministerial robe. A long time will not
elapse before others, equally promising, will deserve
the Rabbinical title.

But the immoveable stability of the institution,
fondly cherished by brothers in Israel who help
me in my earnest exertions, depends on the material
support it can secure. Nobly indeed has the Hebrew
Community in whose midst I have preferred to cast
my lot, acted to further my intentions, And on this Day
of Memorial I pray that a generosity worthily bestowed
