St Thomas, 24 January 1865
To the Editor of the “Occident”
Philadelphia
Dear Sir
I had the pleasure to enclose an article translated from the Curacaosche Courant of the 24th Ulto, which you will oblige me to publish.
I would further request you to answer me the following questions either by private letter or in the “Occident” as they refer to a case happening at present in our Cong:
Which do you consider of greater importance “Confirmation or Calling up to the Sefer?
Can a Minister be justified in refusing to call up to the Sefer a lad who has attained his religious Majority, because he has not been confirmed?
This Mr Editor is happening here, a boy who completed his 13th year since April 64 has not yet been called up, because he has not been confirmed. I blame the parents who blindly submit to such arbitrary decision.”
I am Mr Editor Your Most Obedt. Servt
A Reformer
Enclosed please find my card. - Identifier
