THE JEWISH
NEW YEAR.
Brilliant Services at All the Syn
agOgues.
Programmes of the Music at Temple Emanu-
e and Congregation Sheriff. Israel
Large Attendance,

The Jewish New Year was celebrated
yesterday, and the several places of wOr-
ship in this city were largely crowded. All
places Of business owned by members of
this faith were closed, and as that means a
very large percentage, the business portion
of the city looked as though goodly por-
ton of it had taken a vacation.
The month of Tishr, that commenced
yesterday, is to the Hebrew people one of
sacred DAYS and religious devotion. The
season of prayer continues until the Day of
AtOnement, which is the tenth day, and the
Feast of the Taberuacles commences on the
fifteenth day and continues for eight days.

Rabbi Voorsanger's sermon was up to
its usual standard of elOquence and ability.
With the inspiration OF large and deeply
attentive audience, he held his hearers
closely for upward OF an hour. and the
general verdict was that few had ever
listened to more profound discourse.
There are three propositions which agi-
tate man." said he, life, death and iu-
mortality. OF all days these conditions
must strike home to-day. Every man and
woman to-day comes forth from every
haunt and condition OF life for the consider
alton of these three things. Time for this
day goes by unheeded, and we assemble to
give expression to our belief in the God of
Israel. We are living in tTOubl0us
times, when religion is trial and God is
tried in the cruci5les of reason. so-called.
Whatever is our belief, we are given a
chance TO say to each other even if we
differ in other opinions, we still believe In
the God Of Israel. Let us not forget the
importance OF the future, however. Happy
the man at death who can look into lis
heart and lind IL clean and happy, and bless
the holy name of his God forever and
ever"
