MEMORIAL SE RVICE A Yizkor Ser vice will be part of the
concluding Passover Service (7th Day) to be held on Wednesday, April 24th at 10 :30> A. M. in the Temple.
The custom of memorializing the departed (Yizkor), which has always ,been traditional in the Synagogue, was added by Rabbi Brickner tQ our Passover service several years ago and is in keeping with the Rabbi's policy to restore the more beautiful and significant traditions, which were omitted in the early days of Reform Judaism.
All members of the congregation and their families, who desire to memorialize their dear departed, are reminded that they may now do so on this last day of Passover as well as at the Memorial Service on Yom Kippur.
Rabbi Brickner will preach at this service.

EUCLID AVENUE TEMPLE BULLETIN
IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH
The greatest value which can ,be incorporated into any undertaking is the power to 'SERVE. This power to serve through the upholding of high ideals and conscious faith in the ultimate destiny of man is intrinsic in a great American organization, whose high purpose, expressed in terms of actual service has been, is and will continue to be of vital import to American Jewry. Yet notwithstanding its manifold activities and the invaluable service it has rendered for many years, there are apparently some members of our Congregation un
familiar with its objectives and opera
tions. I refer to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and r,espectfully
submit the following. The primary objective of the Union
and its collateral significance to ,Ameri
can Jewry is readily perceived in the preamble ' to the Union ;Constitution, to
quote, "The Congregations represented
in this Union of American Hebrew 'Congregations affirm their faithful attachment to the sublime principles of Judaism and conscious of lsrael's sacred duties, undertake tQ discharge these effectively pursuant to the laws of the country and under the ,protection of be
nign Providence." (Continued on Page 4)

EUCLID AVENUE TE M PLE BULLETIN
(Continued from Page 3.) At present 28,5 Reform or Liberal Con
gregations are represented in the Union. It is essentially religious in character and outlook. Having neither political affiliations or ambitions, none of its activities, extensive as they are, have any political implications. It steadfastly refrains from political pronouncements, direct 01' implied, and does not engage in political controversies.
When Dr. Isaac M. Wise organized the Union in -1873 he realized that in order .to accomplish its objectives, it would be necessary to have qualified Teachers and Spiritual Leaders competent to serve the respective communities. Conse'quently in 18175 The Hebrew Union College was ' founded in ,Cincinnati, Ohio. 'l'he College is generally regarded as the foremost institution of its kind and has 'fulfilled the highest expectations. Its library of Jewish literature is said to be the largest and finest in the world.
In terms of results, the College stands unrivalled for the numbel' of its graduates who have made notable successes in the cause to which they are dedicated.' Nearly 300 of the rabbis ordained at the College now occupy pulpits in the United States and Canada and one officiates in South Africa. ,To encourage co-operation with the Rabbis by intelligent and creative effort in the secular activities of Congregational life, the Union undertakes to develop an enlightened, informed and purposeful laity. Thus Lay Leaders, appointed as delegates by theIr respective Congregations, meet every two years in "Council," which is the Legislative body of the Union and its highest Authority. This "Council" elects its own Officers . One of these "'Councils," the XXXIV, was held in Washington, D. C., last month. Fourteen delegates from our Oongregation participated in its deliberations. In evaluating the Union it must not be thought of as an abstract or remote cause. It is on the contrary, an intimately connected cause, for a member of Anshe Chesed is, ipso facto, a member of the parentbody-the Union. Furthermore, in fair-

ness must not an evaluation of the Union take into account that no one Congregation, whatever its size and in_ fluence can exert its potency far beyond the local sphere? And conversely that same Congregation as member of the Union actively joined with 284 other Congregations for the consideration of problems common to all of them, all these become vocal through the Union as one voice in all matters of common concern. Therein exists the power of combined strength to serve our ~ause. The Union is the principle of Unity in action and amity in fellowship for the perpetuation of Judaism, for the achievement of Social Justice, for the enduring happiness and peace of Israel.
Th1 foregoing was prepared at the instance of our Board of Trustees. Next week on this page, "How the Union Op-erates ."
