In vain. for him the mountains can
In vain for him the rivers flow;
His bursting granary was all
He knew or ever cared to know.
No thrill OF Natures awe he felt.
No ties with worlds to his allied:
A stranger to his kin he dwelt-
A stranger to his land he died.
What larger life k.yond his ken.
What joys his solitude forewent!
The hopes and fears of migheier men
Ne,er broke the calm of his content.
The mind that might have nodded
thought,
Or scared TO fellowship with kings.
Sank back into itself, untaught,
For lack of will to spread its wings.

! But is this description not exactly
and strangely in accord with the tones
from the modern horn, the horn with
which the jubilant man and youth
woman and girl, of this period give
vent to their joy at the birth of the
Christian new year?
Try as you will, you can get moth.
ing but piercing, shrill or inharmon.
lous tone from the tin instrument and
like the ancient shophar. it's tones are
unmusical, having neither range or
compass. If needed for such pur-
| pose, however, it's blasts from the
summit Of Twin Peaks would summon
multitude that would comport itself
according to the import of the occas-
| ion.
! In Numbers. chapter xxx: 1, we
| find an injunction as to the use of the
htrumpet.
Therein the people are commanded
on the first day of the seventh month
| to hold IAN holy convocation,' to do
no servile work, it being "a day of
! blowing of trumpets unto you''-a
! least VI lue Liump0lS.
| Here is demonstrated the giving IN
of all labor and indulging the tones of
! the shophar as heard in the syna-
gogues to this day on a like festival.
The slseptic may say that to-day S
outpcurings of JOY lack thought. are
INDUCED without the slightest religious
/ sentiment, have no relationship with
the very same movements and same
! trumDetings that characterized the
! day when the law was given from
Mount Sinai, those periods when JOY
and victory and holy festival infu-
enced the early peoples of the earth
! Who will say that there is no feeling
of thankfulness in the hearts Of the
nation when, with horn a-blowing
and flags waving, it gives vent to It's
| JOY over victory or any great national
| event?
The ancient New Years service, OBJ
served in the synagogues even at this
| period, is considered one of the most
! impressive in the Jewish liturgy. 1t is
composed of three parts, which refer,
| respectively, to the sovereignty, jus
tice and mercy of God, and as each
| part is concluded the shophar is
sounded from the pulpit.
The first part. Malchioth,' pro
claims God the universal king.
The second part, .Zichronoth," en-
phasizes that God remembers the
work of the world and visits all Great
ures and that nothing remains con-
cealed from his eyes
The last part, ..Shopheroth, speaks
of the scriptural shophar. and espe-
cialiy as it. is connected with the civ
ing Of the law on Mount Sinai, when
it's tones were first heard, and also
with reference to the time when the

In a poem sermon founded on pas
sages from the Talmund, by the Rev.
Isidore Myers. B. A., in Montreal in
1897 (5657 Jewish year,, the follow

, w i!en Ioa; creating out OF nought.
mis- world into existence brought
Ihls universe by wisdom planned,
And framed by His Almighty hand
whose order. beauty. harmony,
We everywhere can plainly see;
Whose every part, below. above.
! Ihe impress bears of gracious love-.
Lhe shophar's voice does first record
The coronation Of the Lord.
Thus, from it's first mention up to
the present period, has the shopl1ar
been given the most profound and
grave consideration.
Besides the sounding of the horn in
the hour of religious and joyous festi-
val it was brought into use in time of
war to summon and assemble the
army, and in this respect it is first
mentioned in Judges, iii:27:
And it came to pass, when he was come,
that he blew a trumpet in the mountain
OF Ephraim and the children of Israel
and he before them.
Subsequent verses relate the defeat
of 10000 lusty men and the downfall
Of Moab, much resembling the bloody
conflicts of later centuries, sans ma
chinery Of modern warfare.
And here we find the horn brought
into military use, which is long step
from its initial requirements, when it
served to bring the people together to
hear the law read amid the laundering
and lightning and darkness which
after prevailed and filed the assem-
bled multitude with awe and fear,
After all, in comparing the past
with the present there seems but the
difference in the manufacture, design
and manipulation of material and the
advantages in these times of having
more powerful and more scientific i'm
plements with which to annihilate a
foe. Indeed, it is doubtful whether
anything could be more effective on a
modern battlefield than the Staying of
10000 valiant men, as was done by the
lsraelites who answered the shophar's
call to arms.
The shophar has been utilized in
other than times of law-giving and
war, for it is told in Isaiah xxyii:13:
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the great trumpet shall be blown
and they shall come which We're ready
to perish IN the land Of Assyria, and the
outcasts in the land Of Egypt. and shall
Worship the Lord in the holy mount at
Jerusalem.
The prophet foretold that the sho-
phar should announce the recall Of the
people from exile. Therefore it is
seen how, stride by stride, the sho-
phar, the horn or trumpet grew in use
and favor and need in the worlds
earliest period.
It's sounds We're welcomed by those
to whom the law was handed down,
its notes We're and are maintained by
one denomination to voice the ami
vefsary of Gods coronation.
BY that same people it's sound is re-
sorted to as an alarm or warning of
the approach OF the day of atonement
and that they should review the ac-
tons of the past year and prepare to
become reconciled to God by means Of
confession to him of their sins and
promise of amendment.
One other reason for the blowing
Of the shophar, even at this period,
is. to emphasize to the Jewish COM
munity the conviction that the time
will come when the shophar will an
nonnce, according to the word of the
prophet, universal freedom when all
oppression and tyranny shall vanish
and the reign of absolute liberty will
be manifested throughout the world.

Thousands of Centuries Re-Echo
v=-aalssA.asii1 10 tie BlekYine Of Horns To-Day
OVERWHELMINGLY

Blowing of horns on occasions of
JOY and festivity has grown to be an
established institution in the United
States. Whether the custom as prac-
ticed is strictly in musical accord with
the harmonious feelings Of a people
who in one voice indulge celebration
which affects all alike is another mat
ter.
While the custom of horn blowing
is growing, few Of the old heads stop
to think of its origin, and the youth
full celebrant little dreams that it is
all tradition; that in those reveling
sounds which escape neither nook nor
corner, loft nor cellar, are the echoes
re-echoed from thousands of centuries
ago-that momentcus period in the
worlds spiritual and material history
when the blasts from the rams horn
tshophar) proclaimed from Mount
Sinai the giving of the Ten Command
ments to the end of time.
The first mention of it is in the Old
Testament at the giving of the law:
And all the people saw the thunderings,
trunpet.-EXodus, Xx:1S.
AS the sound of the horn sienaled
the giving of the law which was to
lead mankind and stand for life's
moral and spiritual obligations along
the ages, the multitude bowed with
feelings of awe and humility.
The sounds were new to the ears
of the people who listened to their
echoes along the mountain, wondering
at the distant tone repetitions.

unto Moses. Speak thou with us and We
Will hear; but let not God speak with us
lest we die"
The fear then in the hearts of the
multitude was significant. They real
lied the import of the occasion, which
had been signaled by the blasts of
the horn. So, from the very first in
PRODUCTION of the instrument it's
sounds have generally had signif-
cant meaning and purpose
How we'll one can picture the scene

The sounding of the horn on an o.
casion so prolific with divinely poten-
tial incidents naturally brought the in.
strument into use and prominence
during special spiritual exercises and
celebrations, but later its brazen notes
were heard in time of war.
They were also heard in times OF
extreme jubilation and in the temples
of the Jews on their days of rejoicing
and on the day of atonement.
In Leyiticus, XIV: 9, is found the
following:
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of
the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of
the seventh month. in the day of atone
ment shall ye make the trumpet sound
throughout all your land.
And even in this age of advanced
thought" the Jew, following COM
mandment and the voice of tradition
assemblies in his temple to hear the
sound from the shophar.
What effect must such tones issuing
from holy place have upon the
5hearer? They are not musica; sounds,
for their loud, piercing notes, with no
range or compass, have never. been
found adaptable to concerted music.
