The origin d this festival b found IN
LsYilicuS xiii and number XIX, which
provide that ain the seventh month, IN the
Inst day Of the month" they should keep
q sabbath, . memorial d blowing 6E
trumpets, . holy conTocAtion In which NO
seryile work should DO done. Hsnce,
Just barely the work that b needed 10
keep lie going smoothly and clearly iS
performed during the holidays. Ard very
much Of thls work 10 wealthy JeRsh
families Is done by Christian servants,
who have no such lcruples,
This festival has been observed by Is
raeliteS throughout the world peTpetnAIly
since the Law was given on Mount Sinai,
and that event itself Is supposed by tfadl-
lion 10 have been commemorative Of the
time or season In which the. creation Of
the world took place. 30 that IsrAelIls
believe In 4 literal six days creation.
There II, however, some difference Of
opinion among nbbinical commemorative
on that point, some maintaining that the
creation took place q the VernAl equinox
aud some at the AutumDal equinox. The
former b the most generally received
opinion. The names Of the months In
tho Hebrew calendar are Persian, the
Hebrew knowing no other diyislon oi
time than thds64 found in Scripture,
as flrtt, second, third, &c. And The
word TiShTi, the name OF the month
which begins on this evening, means
simply "frst," or beginning" Connect
ed with this festival d M idea that on
New Years day "the absolute consequen.
ces Of men's sections and the fate OF, M.
tioHsare meted out and weighed" aud
their tate decided for the coming year.
And the Rbl0wing Of the tTumpets" on
this day Is In sympathy with this idea,
and is u part OF the Awe-lnspihng service
which Is ito causa al, the, Inhabitants To-
