evening, on the Occasion oI the jewish
new year. Tie services were simple.
The ceremonial cons. sted almost wholly

responses by the ono.r. The scriptures

Rev. A. Freedman, who Oiticiated, IS
but student from the seminary. and
did not betray MS inexperlende 10 the
reporter until after the services, 70
whom be entrusted the sec1et OF ms
youth. His manner was that OF one
conscious of the soleninlty OF hls office
more than that of student anxious 10
make al impression, and the approving
words OF the people as they passed cut
were highly complimentary. His ad-
dress is condensed as follows:
Ny Friends-Ended is the past year
and It's pleasures. A year is gone and
with II It's troubles. We have begun
new year, a new period in our exist
ence. Many a one who ln the bygOne
year was linked 10 a dear friend. has
seen this hand severed by the rude.
unsparing hand OF death. Many, who
before were courted by friends, adored
almost by admlrlng crowds, are now
solitary and forsaken, and none so
poor, none so miserable as 20 do them
homage. Again, many who before en-
ioyed good health are. now fast ap-
preaching the termination OF their
lives, and the grave IS yawnlng at their
feet.
Man is 10th 10 note how time passes.
But then New Year comes TO remind
us that time is not a mono.onous Jour
hey, but an existence, divided into days,
months and years. Ii reminds Us OF a
great scripture, $50 teach Us 10 number
our days that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom" or, obtain heart en-
dowed with wisdom.
We often hear people complaining,
have no time to do this thing, no time.
. by reason Of business, 10 time for char
lty, in other words, 10 time ID live.
Many are even so busy that they have
10 time 10 attend TO self-culture, or
10 wife and children, but only
TO the passions and appetites.
These are the ones who have 10 time
10 do an unselfish act. Other men have
all the time they want for al public
] and unselfish deeds, and also for rccre-
/ alton. The reason IS they recognize the
! Hebrew maxim, There IS time for
/ everything, time for everything under
! heaven This IS the secret of success.
! II we learn 70 value time so as 10 make
[ q proper division Of 1t, we shall by that
/ learn tue value of the text, and thus be
gOaded on 10 healthful self-examIna-
/ ton.
ga new year begins today. Stop.
/ and examine your prospects for the
/ coming wear Not in the way of busl-
ness. for you Will surely attend TO that;
J but what of the hatreds OF the past,
I the affections Of the futurey Take
an inventory Of your stock in morality.
Where do you stand tonight. Are YOU
( better; are you more charitable: arc
you a better lsraelite tonight than you
were year ago? Iipw Is your social
/ standing? Have you made friends or
enemies? Number your days. Have
/ YOU engendered hatred and brought
hitter feelings against YOURSELF Do you
} remember a word hastily spoken, an
/ acton hastily done? Have you thereby
I offended or given pain? Tonight Is the
( time for reconciliation. Tonight Is the
time for forgiveness. Let US retIace,
/ for moment. our steps; letus think OF
\ the past for moment, just TO learn a
/ lesson for the future, and then may tho
/ curtain drop forever"
