At an election for
חזן of this congregation, held on Sunday,
the 2d May, at 11 o'clock, A.M., the Rev. A. Leo was unanimously
re-elected, at the same salary as heretofore. The reverend gentleman is
daily increasing in popularity, and deservedly so, as he is strictly
attentive to his duties, and embraces every opportunity to please his
congregation. Above all, his placid and amiable disposition must gain
him friends wherever he is. On the same day, at 3
o'clock, P.M., an election was held for two Trustees, at the place of
Messrs. Morris Lumly and L.M. Ritterband, resigned, when Messrs. David
Samson and Z. Bernstein were unanimously elected. A vote
of thanks was offered to Messrs. M. Lumly and L.M. Ritterband, late
Trustees, for the faithful and satisfactory manner in which they have
discharged their duties while Trustees of this congregation; and your
reporter is free to confess that no compliment was ever more justly
bestowed. The obstacles and difficulties under which these gentlemen
laboured when this congregation was re-organized under the new regime,
was enough to stagger any person of ordinary nerve and intellect.
The Auditors at the same time brought in their semi-annual report, which
showed a balance in the Treasurer's hands of $1211.52. |
