Yom Klppur, or the Day Of Atone-
ment, one of the most important days
in the Jewish calendar, which began
yesterday at sunset and will continue
until to-day's sun sinks behind the
western hills, viii be duly observed by
local Hebrews, and a large congrega-
ton assembled at the synagogue last
night, when Rabbi Harry Levi deliver
ed a practical discourse on Charity"
Services will be held this morning and
afternoon. The orthodox members will
observe the day by fasting and a gener-
al cessation from daily labors.
The musical features Of Inst nights
services were of a high order, one of the
striking ones being Bir. Days solo.
Rabbi Levi began his discourse by the
recital OF an old legend, which taught
the truth that the most beautiful hands
were those that dispensed aims to the
poor. Continuing, he referred to the
recent statement of Andrew Carnegie,
the steel king, that 1t was "a disgrace
to die RICH" he having announced that
his retirement from business would re-
suit in his spending the remainder of
his days to provide educational institu-
lions for the masses ana assist those
already established.
on the other hand, Russell Sage and
Hetty Green had declared 1t "a disgrace
to die poor" Rabbi Levi thought Mr..
Carnegie's statement was too general,
and that the millionaire hadn't intend
ed 1t to be taken literally. The speaker
wouldn't attempt to decide which phil
osophy was the better. He thought the
truest philosophy was that which
taught we should not give up all for
others, nor seek happiness by binding
ourselves to duties owed to others. A
man should harmonic the duties to
himself with the duties he owed others.
There should be a true line of conduct
between altrulsm and selfishness, and
the rabbi was of the opinion Mr.. Car
negIe so believed.
A Jewish sage. centuries ago, trltely
expressed mans duties in life in this
respect, observed Rabbi Levi, when he
said: IF I'm not for myself, who will
be for me? And If not now-when?"
The speaker then drlfted into an ar
gument for self reliance. energy and
activity, and he grew eloquent in as
sorting that charity began at home.
He emphasized the fact that man owed
not only the duty to himself of carving
out his welfare, but that his ear should
be attentive to the appeals of deserving
poor, that his soul should be responsive
to cries from the suffering. The old
Jewish sage had this Idea in mind,
when he added to his other rules of
conduct this saying: yet If I am for
myself alone. what am II"
At the conclusion of the sermon
collection was taken for the City hos
pItal 'and the Congregations relief
