the Peculiar Service of the Day

Rosh Hashanah. the Jewish New year
is essentially a religious festival OF sol-
emn and serious character. IL occurs oN
the first day of the month Tishrl' beeih-
ming az do all Jewish festivals, on the
evening OF the preceding day.
Tishri Is the seventh month OF the Jew
isb calendar. but its occurrence colnciooS
with that OF the autumnal equinox 'dDoue
September 22d). and thus marks the Cos
OF the agricultural year. Given, as =
was. TO an agricultural people, TINS ne"
year was perfectly appropriate anu
Ultimate. Though having been compcieu
- abandon the pursuit Of agriculture, the
Jews have kept this holy day ana IN
vested IL with a deeply religious sigrih-
canoe.
The character Of its observance Is car
nest and solemn. The ideas crystalzed
and promulgated are those of mans NOR
tality and Gods unchanging ana eternai
existence. The thought OF Coo as SUI
preme Judge, Ruler, and Aroiter or cos
mic destiny is emphasized. Iradluoh IL

superncially this may appear TO have
a fatalistic touch, but It Is not so intend
cd. The service Of the day lays stress
upon prayer and penitehce. upon earnest
introspection, upon the duty OF sitting the
deeds Of the year past. Blessings ana
gifts are recalled. those who have passed
away are afectonately remembered and
strength Is sought 10 enter the new year
with fuller lives-to live up 20 nobler and
truer ideals.
