Editorial. Four months have already elapsed, since the "Breakstone Family" re-union, at Wawasee Lake, Indiana; and it is still as fresh in our minds as if it happened only yesterday. It brings memories to us of the? most exquisit land scapes, pictures scenery, balmy air, delicious food, lovely people showing at- tention on us, eager to provide for us every comfort and every kind of amusement. Indeed, all there contributed much to make the reunion an outstanding event; but the main feature which cause the affair to become indelible and linger on in the realm of memories for time to come, is because of the fine quality of the members of its clan, the noble spirit of each individual member to promote joy and happiness to the group; and a sincere determination of the group to advance the happiness of the in dividual. There is another important element which contributed much to the success of the summer's outing and which must not be omitted in this column; it is the attitude of the younger set who belong to the second and third generation of Americans. They were the soul of the party and planned entertainments and amuzement for all, for eight days and eight evenings and yet in all their planning there was an anxiety not to offend or dis- please (those of) the older people. We are told that the patriarch of the clan, Reb Bearl Breakstone combined the two highest ideals in Judaism: He was a great Talmudic scholar and at the same time, a tiller of the soil; and the thought came to my mind "what would' he have said if he was to behold these hundred and ten descendants, - who represent every noble profession? and all the (arts) - high arts? There were lawyers, Doctors, Druggists, chemists and Engineers; sculptors?; painters, violinists, pianists, actors, and vocalists - of no mediocrity. I suppose he would have smiled with contentment and said: "I can go back to rest in peace, my descendants are properly serving humanity!"
