Large Crowd Turns Out For First
Sunday Sernice of the Season
At The Bryden Road Temple
Four Candidates For Mayor of Columbus and Bexley Hear Rabbi Tarshish Spealc on "If I Were Mayor"—-Eloquent Address Has Been The Subject of Much Comment . During The Past Week
DR. J.\COB TARSHISH
The SLCOiid of the .series of Sunday inoniing lecture which are being con¬ ducted at the Bryden Road Temple this year will take place Sunday, Nov. IStli, at 11 o'clock. R.lbbi Tarshish will speak on "The M-m Who Defied the Kaiser." These Sunday morning lectures have hcen very popular and it is expected that the interest on the part of Colum¬ bus Jewry will he even greater than it has in the past.
These services have attracted an un¬ usually large group of non-Jews and it is expected that the better uiiderst<'ntd- iiig created as a result of such contact will add considerably to the many niove- nicnts wliicb are being conducted in our community hi relationship to good will and harmony between the Jew and Ihe non-Jew.
At the first of the Sund<iy morning lectures hckl last Sunday Ralibi Tar¬ shish spoke on "If I Were Mayor." Among those who attended were Mayor Thomas of Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Ludwig of Bexley, Ohio, and their op¬ posing candidates for office; also, many other prominent political personalities of the city of  Columlnis.
Talking to an audience in which were seated the four candidates for mayor of Columbus and Bexley,. Rabbi Jacob Tarshish spoke on the subject, "If I Were Mayor," last Sunday ijiorning.
He urged the candidates preafcnt that when (hey w'ere elected their chief thought iiiu.st be for all the pCojile they serve, not only the party that elected them. lie declared that this was the first obligation of the suc- rcssfnl candidate for mayor, governor or president.
The rabbi stated that if he were mayor he would sec to it that schools and churches would function night and day, that he was a strong advocate for schools being turned ;into social centers for adults, where instructions in health and education ctiuUl be obtained by people \yhosc financial circumstances did not permit their obtaining further education lhan high school.
He attacked the smoke nuisance, urging Ihe head of the adminis¬ tration to seek some method of <|limiiiating the smoke that obstructed the fresh air and sunlight from thfi citizens of Columbus.
He recommended a course in politics .md executive administration for those who aspired to be heads of communities and advised that it would be well for the mayor to surround himself with a cabinet of men who were leaders iir the different phases of comnumity life.
He urged his listeners to vote yes on all bond issues, illustrating his point by saying that no newcomer to a city ever a.sks what the taxation is, but they inquire as to the advantages for their families and them¬ selves. He particularly urged that tbe school levy and police and firemen tax be adopted.
The rabbi will speak next-Sunday (tomorrow) on "The llan Who Defied tbe Kaiser." The general piihlic as well as every Jew in Coliim- bu.-> are most cordially welcome at the Sunday services conducted at the Bryden Road Temple.
Rabbi Tar.shish announces that he will speak on a great variety of subjects of general interest and he urges all members to bring their neighbors and friends.   The Sunday services commence at ii a. in.

NEW YORK—That American Jews have spent $07,402,640 for erection of synagogues' aiid templcS since January, 1!)25, is asserted in "The Reflex," in an aiticle by Uriah Z.  Engclman.
This sum, according to the article, is more than twice the total value of all tlip Jewish relifiious edifices in the United States in J!)lf) when the last religious census was taken. In 1019 the total value of the 874 Jewish religious edifices recorded by the census amounted lo *3l,0l2,57fi. Tlic sum of $()7,4r»2,610 does nut account for all synagogues and temples erected as information from 15 states was not available.
What is the reason for this enormous outlay in view of the known decline of religious enthusiasm among the Ameri¬ can Jews? asks "The Reflex" writer. "The answer," he says, "Is in the changed function of the synagogue and temple. The latter is no longer the old-fashioned place of worship. It has become the rich man's club, The syna¬ gogue has ceased to be a place to com¬ mune with the Maker. Like the exclu- sK'C club its purpose is to provide the proper background on which to set oflt the changing economic status of the American Jew."
The records to which Mr. Engelman has had access show that 274 such edi¬ fices have been erected since 1924. Dis¬ tributing the new buildings according to states and cities, he writes "wc find New York State heading the list with 77 new houses of worship. Pennsylvania fol¬ lows with 30; New Jersey with 23; Illi¬ nois records 19; Massachusetts 17; Ohio 12; Maryland and Florida each 10; Cali¬ fornia 9; Connecticut and Virginia each 8; Texas 6; the other states, four, three or less.
"Of the cities, New York carries dff the honors with 2j new synagogues and temples, Brooklyn, including Long Is¬ land, follows next with 22 new houses for religious services. Philadelphia comes third with 10, and Baltimore fourth with five. The fifth place is claimed by New Orleans with four temples. The sixth place is shared by a group of cities, none of which had built during this period more than 3 temples or synagogues. In this group, are inclutted Cleveland, O., Stamford, Conn., Los Angeles and San Francisco, Cai., Passaic, N. J., Utica, N. Y., Bos- (Continued un page 4)

to it all his splendid abilities. He was ahh' fo gather around him other men who supported Ilim without stint.
At the Big Givers dniner, which opened the campaign, and which Mr. Thai spon¬ sored, nearly haU Dayton's quota was raised. Under his direction, 35 children from the Jewish Orphan Home put on a play.
Three days after the dinner, Mr. Thai had. 2n active solicitors in the field.
"I am very proud of Dayton Jewry's fine response in this campaign," Thai said, "but I want to emphasize that although the campaign is over the top, it cannot be considered finished until ffvcry prospect has been seen and has contrib¬ uted."
