ROSH HASHONOH 5656 was published in Jewish Messenger
(#126) asks for support for the seminary:
"No personal ambition 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~~mselves~~ to le_arning attained and all the
energy they posess to the service of the religion
vigilantly watched over by the good & true, was the sole
controlling object in my endeavors.
"The Jewish Theological Seminary" will, I fervently ~~pray~~ hope
prove that the honor of legitimate Judaism is safe in trus
tworthy hands; that it will not be sacrificed to shifting
expediency. When called hence, I shall have left behind
what will permanently benefit the cause for which I was
expected to labor, while on this side of the grave.
Men & women who have remained uninfluenced by the preach-
ing of their elders, may readily follow the lead of their
coevals, coming to them well-equipped in a lknowledge
sound and persuasive.....
already acceptable fruits of my planting have sprung
forth. 3 students... have been declared fitted to wear
the ministerial robe... (soon there will be more)

There seem to me to be some spelling/word-spacing errors in this typewritten page and in the next (also typewritten) page: one in this page is "posess" for "possess".

LIFrancophone 5 months ago

I have used "strike" and "add" markup for characters (respectively) deleted from and added to the text by overtyping.

The word broken by the line break between the lines of text now numbered 11 and 12 (with *no* hyphen seen in the image) is "trustworthy".

What seems to me to be a handwritten draft of part of the typewritten text on this page after the 2nd opening quotation mark (I knew I had seen the word "coevals" somewhere else in the Sabato Morais Papers) may be seen/found in Page 3 of SMBx10FF1_10 (including the word "trustworthy" which I have mentioned in another Note); a handwritten draft which (not-as-closely) resembles the concluding text seen in this page may be seen/found in the 2nd paragraph of page 4 of SMBx10FF1_10.
