Dr. Daniel L. Marsh, president of Boston University,
predicted last night that liberal elements of the Jewish
people would some day develop into a branch of the Protestant faith.

tree that had sprung up from Jewish roots. He said he
expected to live to see the day when Jews would become
a Protestant group.

Avery, a Methodist layman, were dedicated in services
performed by clergymen and community leaders of several
faiths. The candelabra were dedicated "to better understanding between Judaism and Christianity, mother and
daughter faiths".
