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- Page 17 incuts for the presentation being made privately by Dr. Charles Sheldon, Jr. —Temple Topics.
