SUNSET bEG|hs
AT0MEMENT DAY
OBSERVANCE

Sunset this evening will inaugurate the
observance OF the greatest holiday In the
Jewish calendar. the Day OF Atonement.
and In every country on the Globe. wher-
ever the members OF the faith have been
scattered by countless years OF persecu-
zion, the day will be faithfully observed
as designated by the ancient teaching.
According 10 biblical tradition. the holi-
day is one OF those Instituted by Moses
~ centuries ago.
The serious character impressed on the
day since its institution so long ago has
remained to the present time. No matter
how much else has fallen into disuetude.
so strong has been its hold on the Jew
Ssh conscience that no Jew falls TO boserve
the Day OF Atonement by resting from
work and attending services at the syna-
gogue
A feature OF the services is the singing
OF the "Col Nidre." traditional minor
melody at onse so solemn and inspiring
that Il is today treasured as a musical
composition. The singing OF this melody
with It's beautiful plaintive tones gives ex-
preston both TO the individual awe be-
fore the uncertainties OF fate and to
peoples moan for the departed glories OF
their nation.
For this day especially the prophets
teach the jew 10 forget all ill-feeling and
hatred and TO occupy himself with think
ing thoughts OF devotion. kindness and
charity: IL is by holidays such as this
that Judaism seeks 20 bring home 90 the
minds and hearts OF SIS people their obll-
cation TO the ancestral faith. and their
divine mission OF religious work for hu-
manity.

Smith Mcpherson of the federal district
court will this afternoon hear the argu-
