(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Cardinal Dougherty paid an eloquent tribute to Judaism at the dedication of an organ, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Albert M. Greenfield to the new chapel of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. The gift was made in honor of late District Attorney John Monaghan, a friend of Mr. Greenfield.
Notables of the religious, industrial and executive life of the city attended the exercises.
“Mr. Greenfield belongs to the most illustrious race known to history–to the old chosen people. In the book of Genesis they are mentioned as shepherds; later they became tillers of the soil, and still later, mrchant princes, visiting the marts of the world.
“Neither sword nor State has been able to break their indomitable spirit, and they have never lost the consciousness of their race. I might point to the annual drive of the Jewish Welfare Federation which meets with such generous response, but we have here a proof of their loyalty to other races. This beautiful organ I am told, is the last word in human ingenuity.”
