Jews and Christians Worship Together

APRIL 30, Jews and Christians worshiped together in Newark, N. J. "The congregation of the First Congregational Church and the congregation of the Temple B'nai Jeshurun had convened to hold appropriate services in observance of the centennial. The temple was filled with people. The temple organist opened the services, and the Cæcilian choir rendered a fine anthem. Dr. Boyd read from the Scripture, and offered prayer. Rabbi Joseph Leucht then delivered an address of great eloquence and power, in which he paid a great tribute to our history and progress as a people and a nation." Whether or not the prayer was offered in the name of Christ is not stated.
