Spending hours on the job that should take

these are symptoms of financial worry that
should be quickly eliminated.
To everyone financial problems are bound to

meet the bare expenses of living; to others as a
concern oyer the right investment of funds.

Figures tending to show that not
^nly is the percentage of Jewiah
criminals less than the percentage of
the Jewish |#°PulBt>on to the whole
tabulation but that despite the in-
i' i egse over the last ten years in the
Jewish population a decline in Jewish
adult delinquency has been noted and
that the Jewish juvenile delinquency
rate has been decreasing more rap-
idly than that of the general popu-
lation were made public today
through the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency by Judge Otto Rosalsky of
the1 Court nf General Sessions. The
statistics were compiled for Judge
Ltb-alHky by KdWjn J. Cooley, chief
probation officer of the Cburf of
General Sessions.

N’/lt h:tn Guyton- of municipal court of
(he District of Olumkjs, that Jews
contribute mure thnn their propor-
tiOtijrU' share of criminals, are con-
firmed by the itatistics released by
Judge Rosalsky.
ArcoiMing to these figures in 1916
the rate of Jewish uilult delinquency
0 H9. per it lit of tile Jew ish popU-
littion uk compared with 9.76 in 1926.,
During thitt same period there has
been' a 20 per cent increase in the
Jewish population. of New York for
which these .figures arc. The num-
b< i of Jewish inmates commitffed to
K;u.dalls Island has decreased from
H-.8H per cent in 1924 to 6.86 in
192j},:'and 6.2 in 1926.
Dr Cooley’s report to Judge Ro-
salsky reveals that from 1920 to
1026, ,K484 nr 22.9 of the total of.
juvniiics arraigned for delinquency
id Nc.w York were Jewisli. In the
children’s courts 9776 cases of Jew-
dren’s court In 1928 only seven were
Jewish cases. This Is at a rata of
less than one-fourth of the Jewish to
the general population. Out of 900
inmates at the Brie County Jail in
1928 only two were Jews. At the
Erie County Penitentiary there were
two Jewa of a total of 872 in 1929.
In Newark where the Jewish popu-
lation is 16 per cent of the total
there were no Jewish children in the
Parental Home at the time of the
survey in 1928 and information ob-
tained from the superintendent show-
ed tbet few Jewish children were
there during the past several years.
Of 220 boys at the New Jersey State
Home for Boy^vthere were only two
Jews in 1928. At the state prison in
F.imira Warden Christian declared
that there were 67 Jews committed
in 1924, 60 in 1926, 60 in 1926, 37
in 1927, and that there has been a
constant decrease in the last ten
years. Jews once composed 16 per
cent of Elmira’s prison population
and now they arc but 5 per cent.

Judge Cayton said “nothing haa hurt
me so much as the fact that my owtt
words were not properly interpreted.
I simply spoke about certain unde-
sirable elements among us and I cer-

Jewish people as a whole.’’
Judge Cayton, one of the young*

By 1907 we had outgrown our
Temple on Crawford and Franklin
and had moved into the beautiful
building on Crawford and Lamar,
now used by’ Congregation Beth El.
By 1925 we had again outgrown our
place of worship and today we have
as fine a Temple as exists in the
South and one of the finest on the
Continent. As far as T have been
able to ascertain there are only two
Others rabbis who have hud tWo Tem-
ples built during Their incumbency—
Franklin of Detroit and Harris of
New York. The dedication of two
Temptek during one man’s ini'unt-
beny may be regarded as an achieve-
ment, tpr nobody can ever know tfie
immense amount of hard labor and
deep anxiety any such project entails
on the part of a rabbi unless be has
been through the mill himself. But
as the old rabbinical adage has it
“Lefuin Snro Agro”—the harder the
Work the greater the reward—and
as we look at this beloved and beau-
tiful shrine of ours, the design con-
ceived by one of our own members,
we feel that'it is worth all the anx-
iety connected with its erection.
From the first I have always felt
that if our.citv is to make great for-
ward strides there must be harmony
and good-wjll between the various
churches. Years ag«( we lent our
Temple on Crawford and Lamar Vo
the Christian Scientists; we in our
turn enjoyed the hospitality of the
First Methodist Church -and for the
last sixteen months St. Paul’s Con-
gregation has worshipped in this
building. 1 have preached at Episco-
palian, Methodist, Lutheran and Con-
gregational Churches and Christian
ministers have frequently occupied
this pulpit. For people can not ap-
preciate eeeh other until they come
to know etch other. . ■
And this same \h°uE^t applies to
the mueicat world. Our choir hai
always been upon fine term* with
th* city's best musicians who have
always helped us upon all gala occa-
sions. 1 know hew very much w* all I things of the

And when 1 look back over those
thirty years of my life 1 can not but
feel that through the cp operation of
my membership arid, the help of God
Miinething VIM / much worth-while hus
been accomplished, I am not refer-
ring to the fact ,hat in those three
decades tine Congregation has in-
. M a I'd eight-fold, Hoe tfi the im-
provement of the music, nor to the
democratization tif the Constitution,
nor to our amicable relations with
other churches, nor to the 'nationali-
zation of our congregation, nor even
to our magnificent physical equip-
ment. Air of these factors are im-
portant, tremendously important, and
yet they are insignificant in compari-
son with the two main goals towards
which I have been groping through
these thirty years. My first aim was
tude towards the services hold here
and towards the faith of their
fathers I was anxious, qgtremely
anxious, that our school should not
raise a generation of scoffers. 1 was
anxious that these boys and girls
should have a measure of respect and
revererice towards those sacred
things which had been the mainstay
of their forbears throughout the
ages, j
The first step towards attaining
this goal wan to tic the School and
Temple together and so attendance
at service is u very intrinsic part of
our Sunday School curriculum. The
second step wiis the participation of
our children in the service so that
they feel that the service is their
service.- The third and rqost diffi-
cult step was an attempt to popular-
ize the study of Hebrew through the
re-introduction of the- Bar Mitgvah
ceremony for the boys and the par-
ticipation in the Hebrew Service of
their Confirmation Day. by the girls.
And 1 want to place upon record
the fact that the results have far
exceeded my expectations. From our
State University, those who should
know, tell me that our ypung people
there are outstanding in their Jewish
loyalties; from other cities I hear
that girls from Beth Israel assume
leadership in Jewish affair* in their
new environments, On Saturday
mornings our youngsters form the
vast majority of the congregation
and on Friday evenings our
people provide more than their
mate percentage. Of course these
.methods have not been successful
with ail our childrin, but with only
a little reasonable encouragement
and co-operation in the home the
vast majority of normal children will
have the right attitude towards their
church and faith. And In quit* a
few families It if the children who
have brought back their parents to
the faith of their fathers. And so I
wish to again say to our parents that
the most precious gift they can be-
stow upon me ia their co-operation
and encouragement in the work of
our Religious School And from the
adult member* of my congregation,
may I request more regular atten-
dance at our services To only too
many of them thi# Tampl* is only in
existence upon two days in tha year.
I stream the importance of Temple
attendance because Die Jewish Homs
Lift and Jewiah Scholarahlp aroj
peat And so tf wo
tor out place of
young
legiti-
the
their ancestral moorings.
And let us not lose sight of the
fact that America is essentially a re-
ligious country. 1 know all abput its
percentage in crimes of violence but
this does not make me modify my
statement, for 1 am naturally refer-
ring to the backbone of the com-
munity, to those people who assume
leadership and do things and these
are the people who look askance at
the godless horde who neglect their
church and who have parted with
their conscience*. If you doubt this,
make a rqnnd" of the churches any
Sunday and mark the type of citi-
zenship t,here assembled. And, so if
you wish to give me a second invalu-
able gift; then give me your Pres-
ence at our Sabbath services. F.spe-
cially do I look to our leaders to aet
a fine example in this respect. I
would like to have the eo-operation
of oilt college men, our business
leaders, Our generous philanthropists.
It is a case of noblesse oblige and
the very standing of these men and
women in our congregation and in
the community at large should urge
them to take their share in the per-
petuation of that faith which hae
withstood the storms of 3000 years.
In conclusion, may I say that I
greatly appreciate this large atten-
dance this evening and this would be
a really joyous anniversary to me if
you would again come here next
week. But whether you do this or
not IHnvoke God’s blessing upon you
all and pray that our beloved chil-
dren may take up the work where
we leave it and continue perpetuating
our precious faith so that of us ana
of them it may alike be said,
"Happ/ are ye, O Israel, how goodly
is your portion, how priceless your
heritage;’ ,
