blowing of trumpets unto you'-a
feast of the trumpets.
Here is demonstrated the giving up
of all labor and indulging the tones OF
the shOphar as heard in the syna-
gogues to this day on a like festival.
The skeptic may say that to-day's
outpcuTings of joy lack thought, are
INDUCED without the slightest religious
sentiment, have no relationship with
the very same movements and same
trumpetings that characterized the
Gay when the law was given from
Mount Sinai, those periods when joy
and victory and holy festival influ-
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 ALLOWING
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
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
great trumpet" will be sounded ito
declare the universal triumph of lib
crty and religion"
In q poem sermon founded on pas
sages from the Talmund, by the Rev.
Isidore Myers, 3. A., in Montreal in
1897 (5657 Jewish year,, the follow
ing occurs:
What solemn thoughts each blast COM
pels.
AT every sound cur bosom swells;
Our soul is stirred by every note
That issues from the shophars throat.
The first, which "Malchioth" is named.
In which Gods soveTeisntys proclaimed,
Commemmorates fact sublime
Recalls to mind creations prime.
When God. creating out of nought.
This world into existence brought
This universe by wisdom planned.
And framed by Ills Almighty hand
Whose order beauty. harmony,
we everywhere can plainly see:
Whose every Fart. below. above.
The impress bears of gracious love.
The shophar's voice does first record
The coronation of the Lord.

the present period. has the shophar

Thousands of Centuries Re-EchO
i'm the Blowing of Horns To-Day


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 q trumpet in the mountain
| of Ephraim, and the children of Israel
| went down with him from the mount,
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 it's 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 tho 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
! foe. Indeed, it 10 doubtful whether
anything could be more effective on
| modern battlefield than the Staying of
| 10000 valiant men, as was done by the
| Israelites who answered the shophar's
call to arms.
The shophar has been utilized in
| other than times Of law-giving and
war. for il is told in Isaiah Xxvii:13:
And it shall come TO pass in that day.
that the great trumpet shall be blown
! and they shall come which were 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.
It's sounds were welcomed by those
to whom the Law was handed down.
it's notes were and are maintained by
! one denomination to voice the ami
versary 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 &C.
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
nounce, 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

Blowing of horns on occasions Of
Joy and festivity has grown to be an
established institl ton 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 celcbrant 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 momentous period in the

when the blasts from the rams horn

Sinai the giving of the Ten Command

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 Leviticus. 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

throughout all your land.

sound from the shophar.
What effect must such tones issuing
from a holy place have upon the
nearer? They are not musical sounds,
for their loud. piercing notes, with no
range or compass, have never been
found adaptable to concerted music.
In Numbers. chapter xXxix: l, we
find an injunction as TO the use of the

LABOR DAY IN GARDINER.
lnclement Weather Made the Day Good
One for Indoor Enjoyment.

While there was no definite plans
made by any organization or bodies for
observance Of Laborer's Holiday, as il
has been designated by the President
several parties had been made up TO go
to the various resorts and to Lewis
ton, but the weather rather put the
"kibosh' on all forms of amusements
and nearly everyone found it more con-
venient- to remain indoors and read the
neWspapers-or to WOO Morpheus.
Quite a number, however, went to
Lewiston on the early morning train
and returned home at Z o'clock and
they reported a good time, although
the weather extended to Lewiston in
all its force and rather detracted from
the attractive program that had been
arranged.
There are no regularly recognized
labor organizations in Gardiner, al
though there are quite a number OF
members of various unions and
chapters, but not in sufficient numbers
to make any demonstration or regular
observance of Labor Day.
Nearly every place of business in
Gardiner closed down all day, although
several, including the pharmacies and
hours. The post office was open as OF
other days, but the carriers made but
one delivery in the early morning. and
enjoyed the rest of the day as 4
