As an expression of the gratitude
and thanks of the congregation to the
officers and membership of the First
Presbyterian Church of Atlanta for
hospitality and courtesy extended to
the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation,
two beautiful silver vases were pre
sented to that congregation by the of
ficers of the Temple on behalf of the
Board and membership.
The presentation was made Thurs
day evening, October 2nd, at the
church building by Mr. Harold H* rs ch-
Pointing out the religious signifi
cance of the opening of the church
building to worship by a Jewish con
gregation on its Holy Days, Mr. Hirsch
stated that it bespoke that truest of
brotherly love that is the essence of
all religion. The departure from a nar
rower sectarianism of another day, he
said, signified a newer era in religious
liberalism worthy of our age and and.
The presentation was accepted on
behalf of the First Presbyterian Church
by Dr. Sprole Lyon, pastor of the con
gregation. He spoke warmly of his
friendship and love for Rabbi David
Marx and his esteem of the Temple
and assured the visitors that never was
an offer more unanimous or sincerely
made than the offer of the First Pres-
byterian Church to the Hebrew Be
nevolent Congregation to use the
church for Holy Day services.
Doctor Marx made the final remarks
of the evening. He chided Doctor
Lyons that he can truly say that he
used the church on that day (Thurs
day, October 2nd, was Yotn Kippur
day) more than its minister, and felt
<iuite at home there, and assured the
members of the Presbyetrian congre
gation that they will ever be welcome
guests in the new I emple Building.
1 he cordial relationship between the
two church bodies, he stated, should
lead the way to a newer and truer
religious liberalism.
The presentation of the gift came as
a complete surprise to the officers and
trustees of the church who were hold
ing a regular meeting, the arrange-
