DaV of AtOnCmpnt.

Yesterday was the most significant
Of Jewish days, known as the Day Of
Atonement, and was celebrated by our
Hebrew citizens by closing their places
of business and period of prayers,
medtations and fasting. This event
which begun at shutdown Tuesday and
ended at the same hour Wednesday is
observed every year, as commanded
by the God of Moses during the days
of the children of Israel. 1t falls on
the tenth day of the Mosaic new year,
and is sacredly kept by both the ortho-
doX and reformed Hebrews according
to the commands Of the Almighty, as
recorded in Leviticus, 10th chapter,
Goth to 3lst verses, inclusive, which
read as follows
And this shall be a statute forever
unto you; that in the seventh month. on
the 10th day of the month, ye shall aft let
your souls and do no work at all, whether
that one Of your own country or stranger
that sOjOurncth among you.
- For on that day shall the priest make
an atonenient for you, to cleanse you, that
We may be clean from all your sins before
the Lord.
at shall be a Sabbath of rest unto you,
forever"
While the Day of Atonement is not
observed in accordance with. the cere-
monies that marked the event in the
olden times such as the killing Of a
lamb, &C., it is celebrsted with a ma
iority of the rites laid down in the
ancient law, and is a day of fasting.
prayer aud penitence, and is carried
out literally on those lines. 1t is the
belief Of the Hebrews that a person
may seek and attain forgiveness for
his sins by contemplating his past con-
duet, meditating on his spiritual con-
dition, forgiving his enemies, and
forming good resolutions. This is the
| only form Of atoncment recognized by
the church and involves a direct APP
proach to the Heavenly Father of those
who are at peace with their fellowmen.
| The keynote of the day is: "'Repen-
| tence. prayer and good deeds are our
advocates before the Divine throne. -
| During the q hours Of the observance
of this feast those of the Hebrew faith
are supposed to abstain from eating
and drinking. While there are some
people who do not carry out this spirit
! of the ancient command literally. the
masses of the Jews do so absolutely
and conscientiously.

Letter from RingWoOd.

RINGwooD, n. c., Sept. Is, '93.
Cotton picking is being done in
earnest; much of it has been injured
by the long rainy spell, and the crop
will be 20 per cent. short.
Rev. T. J. Ogburn, of your town,
preached some fine sermons at Be-
thesda church the past week. The one
on Sunday was on the "Love of
Christ" and was eloquent, logical and
impressive to high degree, and the
large and intelligent congregation
seemed greetly to enjoy it. He held
up i'll forcible and powerful language
the - Fatherhood of God and thus the
brotherhood of man," and such SER
mons prove the pulpit in the sober use
Of it's legitimate powers ''host in
virtues cause
Thos. II. Taylor and H. S. Harri-
son, Esqrs., have returned from the
Worlds Fair greatly pleased with what
they saw.
Snarling at other folks is not the
best way of showing your own superb
GRITTY Of character. Tell the truth if
it kills you, but there is no danger of
its killing YOU"
The man who doesn't know all about
silver and finance is dead. 1t is proper
to add he did not live in our section.
Let Congress quit so much idle talk
and act speedily. We want currency,
silver and gold on parity, and the
people will be satisfied. They have
found out, that is all honest voters
have, that there is no difference be-
tween Democratic rascals and Repub-
lican rascals.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson is conducting
protracted services at Central Cross
church, near Mr.. J. &. Arlington 5,
and preaching some fine sermons 10
interested listeners. 1t is time wave
of penitence was sweeping oyer the
land and man acknowledging the power
and love of his Maker. Love to God
and to his neighbor is what man needs
to straighten out financial and other
problems.
Your paper has much good, whole
some reading calculated to elevate
mans moral nature. ssHow great
man became converted" was read By
many with deep interest.
Wishing you all possible success,

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.
Mr.. B. w. Hatcher, at Y. M. q.
A.---Good Music---Large At
tendance.

The largest crowd yet assembled,
met at the Y. M. G.. A. Sunday after
noon. Miss Digger, of Warrenton, and
Mr.. W. S. Foster, Of Boston, each
sang solos, to the delight of the large
audience. Miss Bette Blacknall and
Mrs. DR.. F. r. Harris presided at the
organ which was kindly loaned for the
occasion by the Methodist church.
The singing was especially fine. Mr..
B. w. Hatcher, of Siler City, the lee
turer, delivered the address using as
a text, Prov. 14:12. ''There is a way
which seemeth right unto man; but
the end thereof are the ways ofdeath."
Mr.. Hathcher soon impressed his
hearers as a man Of earnestness, and
true Christian character, and he gained
the sympathy of the audience at once,
holding the attention throughout. He
said: Conscience uninlightened is not
true guide. Many excuse their evil
ways because their conscience is guilt
less. 1t is simply lulled to sleep by con-
tinued disobedience. Conscience to
be a guide to conduct, must be enlight-
ened by the Holy Ghost, and brought
in harmony with the word of God.
Mr.. Hatcher cited several instances of
the religious acts of heather in which
they cruelty sacrificed their offspring to
appease an angry god, illustrating
the extent to which a person may go
in crime when the conscience is UNI
Enlightened. He spoke of the way, of
the dram cup, the ball room, card table,
profanity. He was glad, Christians
were priviledged to know of his accep-
lance with God. Every man knows,
said the speaker, whether he is serving
the Devil or not. g Y GU 60 to sinner,
and ask him if he is Christian, and
he will say unhesitatingly, no!' ''Now
don't you think Christian ought to
know whether he is in the way of the
right or not? A man knows whether
he is true to God and the right or not;
| whether his life is in harmony with
Gods word, and his will given over to
his Lord "There are three steps
to heaven,'' continued the speaker
6 first, getrid of self, the wreck of sin:
second; step into the life boat, Christ;
third; through Christ into heaven.
GAS We have received Christ Jesus the
Lord, so walk in him. There are
but two roads, one leading to heaven
the other to eternal ruin. Rev. 22:l4
describes the end of the first, Blessed
are they that do his commandments
that they may right to the tree of life
and may enter in through the gates
into the City, The terminus of the
other is graphically described in the
next verse Without (the gates) are
dogs, and sorcerers false religionests)
and whore mongers, and murderers
and idolaters, and whatsoever loveth
and maketh lie.'' How dreadful tt
be associated with such characters
and that for all eternity!' A call wa:
made, and one young man expressed
his desire to escape the doom of thu
wicked, and was earnestly and tenderl,
prayed for by the secretary. A lette
from D. /. Moody was read and col
lection of $500 taken for his great worl
of evangelization now going on il
Chicago.

Cupid'S Capers.

notwithstanding there had been no
attraction of the kind at Burwell Hall
IN several months, only medium
sized audience witnessed the perform
ance OF Cupid's Capers Tuesday night.
The title of the comedy is quite sug-

lull OF fun and laughter as advertised
While devoid of heavy acting, it is
none the less pleasing, possessing
many features Of a bright, sparkling
nature calculated to dispel dull care
and drive away the blues. The work
OF Mr.. Frank E. Edwards, comedian.

was fully up to requirement as Il merry
maker and laugh provoker, while in

adJutor. Both were prime fayorites
ana kept the audience i'll continuous
laughter. The acting of Miss Helen
Lewis, Miss Margaret Moore and Mr..
w. II. LeCaron was well done. while
the singing and dancing of Miss Emma
Boulton and Miss Hattie Stemblu was
quite ''catchy'' and pleasing. While ma
king no claims to great histrionic power
or brilllancy for either play OF players,
the company is composed Of very clever
people and Cupid's Capers will please
the average audience because it amuses
and gives them something to laugh at
