The speaker prefaced his fine adresa
by saying that the prayer ai

la own composition and part taken
*om the ritual called to his mind
le beautiful words: Have you read

le wonderful story of Sandalphon.

a stands, and they change into
ower3 in his hands, into garlands
' purple and red and through the

ranee they shed. "And may we not
cpresfi tho wish," said the speaker,
that our brothers who are departed
ill catch the fragrance of that
rayer and will rejoice that their

them today as we assemble
