PALM SUNDAY SERVICES WILL BE HELD TOMORROW
TWO WEEKS OF
SPECIAL SERVICES
Lalrobe Pastor Will Assist j
With Meetings at Market
Square
I
The Rev. Robert C. Betts, of La
trobe. Pa., who is to assist Dr. Hawes I
in special meetings for two weeks. Is
a l'nend of the pastor for many |
years. He is settled over a congre- |
nation in Latrobe. He is a man of;
tine spirit; and as a preacher will I
prove to be helpful to all sorts and j
conditions of men. The public is|
cordially invited to hear him.
Great preparation is being made
for the meetings. There is 110 more |
organization than necessary, but,
great dependence upon the power j
of the Spirit of God. During the
week twelve neighborhood prayer
meetings were held. The attendance j
at these was large, and the spirit ot ;
the meetings notable. The people
met with one accord in these places)
to ask for one thing. They antici-1
patcd the answers, and thanked God
lor them. !
The feature of the coming week |
is tlie Day of Fasting and of
Prayer, held Wednesday. A program
which will begin at 10 o'clock, and
continue without break until t
o'clock, is being arranged. Leaders
will be changed each hour. Each
hour will be in charge of a minister.
Last year such a meeting was held,
and its influence is felt in the church
still. It is believed that the meeting
of Wednesday will have as great
an influence now, and in the months j
to conie.
"This is our time for insatlier- j
ing," said the pastor. "Teachers in 1
the Sunday school are very busy j
trying to bring their scholars to de-;
visions. 1 am looking for a large j
number of our accessions to come
from this source. Already many
have expressed their intentions. Then
there will bo many from other;
sources. We are hoping for one of ■
the largest ingatherings in the history
of the congregation, if prayer can I
bring this to pass we will have it." j
Pre-Easter Services of

Fourth St. Church of God
Pre-Easter week will be of spe-,
cial interest at the Fourth Street;

I an average of four members from
I every society already in the service

tained in the UYiited Society's pro-1

Most of the plans have already been

"It is the belief of the committee
that every Endeavorer will do his
best to aid the Red Cross and other

Government to carry out all plans
for tlio conservation of food and the j
raising of necessary war funds. At J
tlia present time, we shall, as a

NEW KESHER ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE
B3 1 1 1 —*** \ ■
Tn keeping with the architectural
advancement of Harrisburg the new
Kesher Israel Synagogue at Briggs
and Capitol streets, but a stone
throw from tlie State Capitol
grounds, is one of the most beauti
ful structures recently erecjted here.
At the present rate of progress it
will be entirely finished in a few
weeks and it would be well worth
tho time for any one who admires
genuine art to make a visit of inspec
tion.
The architect as M. M. Silberstein,
of Harrisburg; the Jones Art Glass
Company, of Hrooklyn, is responsible
for the splendid stained glass attrac
tions, and the actual building was
originally assumed by the State
Building Construction Company, al
though latterly the congregation it
self attended to this. Planned to
cost no more than $30,000 at the
start, such were the changes made
that the final cost will be over SOO,-
000.
It is said that this synagogue is
unique in America hy reason of the
great number of domes, fifteen;
which dot the vast roof over the
main auditorium. The center one
beams with a brilliant circular stain
ed glass window and from the middle
of this dome pends a gorgeous elec
tric light device. All the side win
dows are of beautiful colored de
signs, but the one which strikes the
visitor most is the huge round one
in front, paragraphed into twelve
sections displaying the twelve signs
of the zodiac. The general effect of
this is golden color and when the
sun shines here the picture is most
inspiring.
There are three entrances on Cap
itol street, and one on Hriggs. Im
mediately on entering one meets a
spacious foyer and from that branch
ing committee rooms, these in turn
opening into the lower auditorium.

Beautiful New Temple Has

Ascending, easy steps lead one to
the main auditorium which is flanked
part way around by a deep gallery.
In a Jewish Synagogue the men and
women occupy separate sections of
the structure and the gallery is set
aside in this one for the women. It
would be difficult to imagine a more
lovely audience chamber than this
gallery.
The whole building measures 90
feet in depth and 50 feet in width.
The two main fronts are built of I
Kittanning buff br.'-.k.
Keslier Israel congregation was
organized about eleven years ago and'
had its synagogue at Fourth and j
State streets from the time of the
organization. The taking over of the I
site on which their synagogue was
located by the state for park exton-j
sion, necessitated locating elsewhere
and the site at Briggs and Capital
streets was chosen.
The Keslier Israel congregation,
which numbered about thirty mem
bers at {he time of organization has
grown to a membership of two hun
dred and twenty-tive.
Among those were prominent
in the organization of the Kesher
Israel congregation were Max Wil

Credit to the Man
Who Deserves It
As the magnificent synagogue of the
Kesher Israel congregation is near
ing completion the beauties of its H
exterior and interior architecture I
and construction are becoming
more and more evident. Particular- H
ly is this true of the interior which I
marks a distinct departure from I
anything of its kind in the country. MB glfT" -JH
: wfF* - iM ■
To the design and construction of the Jg ' H * M
building credit must i.e given to
Morris M. Silberstein, contractor Jm
and builder. BMgkk M
By the employment of sk'lled labor in
every branch of the work, by his
close attention to the minutest de
and by his super- Jg^H
vision of the work from the very JHH^B
beginning, the new synagogue ■
stands as a credit only to the JS& A9|H
Kesher Israel congregation, but to H jjß
the city of Harrsburg as well- AH
It as a mark to Mr. |
Silberstein that this expression of
gratification and credit is being
published by Morris M. Silberstein
Kesher Israel Congregation
Announcement will be made in the near future of the Dedication date of the new Syna
gogue, to which the public of Harrisburg and vicinity will be invited.
Cooper. T. Claster, H. Cohen, A. G.ir
ner and Levin Cohen, all of whom,
with the exception of Nathan Fried
berg, who died several years ago
are still identified with the congre
gation.
Rabbi Silver, well known in the
Jewish Rubinical world, has been at
the head of the congregation since
its organization.
The dedication of the now syna
gogue, to which the public will be
invited will be held at a later date,
announcement of which will be made
in due time.
The new structure is an example
of architectural beauty, particularly
the interior, the furniture for which
alone involved an expenditure of
$7,000. The ground and building in
volve a cost of $75,000.
