Our indefatigable old friend, Mr.. B

cautionary measures must be taken
against any possible introduction Of this

that appears feasible.

Friday Night Services.

There is some doubt in our mind
as to whether the Beth Ahabah
Congregation acted wisely last
Sunday in voting down the PROPOSE
ton for holding services at 8 o'clock
Friday evenings during the winter
months. They might at least have
given it trial The fact that a
petition containing the names of
about half the congregation who
favored the change was circulated,
entitled it to at least that much
consideration.
The move, while little repugnant
to those who have all their life been
accustomed to services "at dusk. y
might have been productive ofmuch
good.

1t was, we understand, the in

The services being held at later
hour, the business man who now
rushes away from his store or office
to get to the synagogue in time,
and whose head is full of business
and who is wondering if he has for
gotten anything in his haste, could
give his entire mind to the prayers.
The same might apply to the good
housewife. She would not be hui

Doubtless, rather than to be thus ha-
raised, many who could attend la

The large congregations which in
varlably attend the synagogue
when even minor festival falls on
sunday, show that our people are
inclined to be present at divine ser

The Feast of Booths.

Inc Feast OF Booths.
Our life is made up of contrasts,
and finds true expression in the
Coming of the joyous "Succoth''
feast, close upon the heels of the
solemn Atonement Day. This close
connection ofthe sad and the merry
is further, the emphatic teaching of
Judaism that life is happiness and
joy, that religion, as mans hottest
and most precious treasure, is a
thing ofjoy and gladness, as well
as of earnest and serious nature.
There is no sin in a smile, nor
any trespass in the beaming of a
happy face, if these things come
from honest hearts and honest mo-
tives.
The "Succoth" festival does not
appeal to us, as perhaps it did to
our fathers, in the happy days of
their natural life. For there is to
us no ingathering of the crops, no
harvest direct from the fields, over
which we can rejoice and make
merry. Yet the underlying princi-
pie is there and should be as strong
for US. The thanksgiving and the
gratitude should rise from our
breasts spontaneously, and gener.
ously, for over all of us is still spread
the mantle of a protecting provi-
dence. We dwell in the booth Of
divine guardianship, and the fruits /
from the field of life are plen1ifully s
and abundantly brought unto us. I
Let us, then, be thankful, let our &
gratitude find expression in our f
deeds, that even as is given unto e
us, may we learn to give to those c
who are needy c.
Lynch Law. a
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1893-09-22

l
ing that took place at Amelia Court
House this week. There have been
too many cases of lynching in the
South for its good name, and for
the ultimate safety of it's citizens.
Men may complain of justifable
provocation, of the enormity and
Nervousness of the offense, of the
laws delays, but there is no provo
cation sufficiently great, nor any
crime SO heinous, as to justify citi-
zens to overturn and defy the law
by which they are governed, and to
which they owe support.
The mayor and detective of Roam
oke, who protected their prisoner
at all hazards, cannot be too great
ly commended. The loss of life Incl
dent to the occasion is deeply re-
GREETED, yet the dignity of the law
must be upheld at any sacrifice. A
mob is easily led astray in passion
ate moments by self-appointed dem
agogues, who are really the crimi-
nails, and should be punished ac-
,ordingly.
The test of a peoples civilization
s the measure of their obedience to
he law Of the land. That peoples
most free which has learned best to
'bey. Every instance of lynch law
S a step backward. It undermines
he stability Of government; it
veakens the foundation of law; it
e6les the dignity Of man, and pro-
anes the sanctity of human life.
