Mr. R. Kotlowitz, peaking on the festival traced briefly the history of the Jewish people from the earliest times to the period of the " uccah"' drawing analogies between events of that time and of to-day.

Jewish life in the Galuth to-day could he compared to a Succah-a temporary ... tructure, which we must be prepared to break down if the need should present itself.
Zionism had as its ideal the building up of a pe:-manent home in Eretz Lsrael and yet there were million who still stood aloof.
