Religious Aspect of Meetings.
The Plum Street Temple Sisterhood
of Cincinnati welcumes every oppor-
tunity to lend a religious character to
each of its meetings. There are read-
ings from the Scriptures in conson-
ance with the subjects of the lectures
and always allusions to the holy day
nearest the meeting.
Mrs. Siegfried Geismar a Sister-
hood member supervises the Chil-
dren's services of the B'nai Jeshurun
Congregation. These are conducted ac-
cording to an "Order of Services for
Junior Congregations" which has
been published by Dr. Louis Grossman
rabbi of B'nai Jeshurun.

If candles do not burn during Cha.

Orleans where lives a pupil of a relig-
ious school it will be only because
the inclination to kindle the lights is
lacking For at a joint celebration of
Chanukah by all the religious schools'
the three New Orleans Temples of the
Sisterhoods will give each child a
brass candle holder with sufficient
lights to burn each night through out
the holday. -
The Sinai Sisterhood has two of its
members on the Board of Trustees.
Though these women are not entitled
to a vote they have a voice in discus-
sions. As the publisher of the Temple
Bulletin the Sisterhood acts as a me-
dium betweeif the Congregation and
its members) ...';('.:; ;"; . . i
The Sisterhood entered upon its sea-
son this year with many suggestions
and such good advice by Mrs. Edgar
Cahn a delegate to the Convention of
the N. F. T. S. in Boston last May
and by Mrs. Max Heller who acted
as president in the absence of Mrs.
Paul Godschaux. Mrs. Cahn delivered
the message she had received at the
convention and Mrs. Heller appealed
for greater religious observance. Dr.
Max Heller gave a ten minute talk on
Current Topics as he does at all the
meetings of the organization. The
mothers of religious school pupils were
present upon the invitation of the
Sisterhood.
JEWISH LEGION ADOPTS ARMEN-
IAN ORPHANS.
Jewish soldiers in the 38th Battalion
of the British Fusileers adopted more
than a score of Armenian and Syrian
orphans while in the camp at Rayal
Syria according to a statement made
at Near East Relief Headquarters 1
Madison Avenue New York City by
a worker who has just returned from
Syria.
This battalion was made up of Jew-
ish young men from the United States
who joined the English army to help

wrest the" land of their forefathers
from the grasp of .the Ottoman power
and was known as the Jewish Legion.
"We just can't see the babies
starve" was the way members of the
organization explained the fact that
so many of these children were find-
ing homes and'food at their camp. The
poor little wanderers came to the
camp ragged hungry and almost ex-
hausted from the hardships they had
eridured.'"' .
One of the most interesting of the
orphans adopted by the battalion was
Reuben Innegian who appeared at
the camp one morning lacking prac-
tically everything that a boy 'should
have to make him happy. He was
without food without clothing . and
most of all without his) left leg. His
story is typical of those of the other
children who found refuge with these
American Jewish young men while
they were serving in the land of the
Turk.
This boy was six years old and liv-
ed with his parents in the Lebanon
mountains when at the beginning of
the war his family was deported driv-
en from place to place and -finally
died. He became a wandering orphan
and for four years sought food where
he could beg it or pick it from the re-
fuse in the streets. One night he fell
asleep on the railroad track and when
he returned to consciousness he real-
ized that a passing train had cut off
his left leg.
Of how he survived this accident
Reuben has only a faint recollection
but he knows that he was again made
happy and taught to smile under the
care of these Americans in the British
army. He grew fat and forgot his aif-
ferings while in the army camp for
while the Turks were unable to con-
quer the Jewish Legion Reuben cap-
