Atlantic City. The convention of the Brith Avraham (Brotherhood of Abraham) closed after the adoption of the following resolutions:

Members of the Order admitted in an incorporated institution or Home may bequeath half their endowment for that specific institution, but no one is permitted to bequeath or leave his endowment to his lodge.

Members of the Order for less than a year, committing suicide, lose their privileges of endowment.

This resolution was accepted on the basis of Mr. Dorf's explanation. In the last two years, the Order paid endowments to relatives of twenty-two suicides.

The convention also decided that the Order contribute $250 yearly to the Jewish Sanitarium for Consumptives in California, where the Order has a tent of its own.

After the election and installation of new Grand Officers, the convention closed with a reception given in honor of the delegates and their families.
