we'll rendered and everything in con-

practical thoughts and Suggestions con-
corning the blessings OF the past year
and what should be the purposes OF
all thankful people in the year which
has just dawned. The ritual used in
the Jewish New Years services is
appropriate and impressive, and all

greetings. Services we're held again at
ten O'Clock this morning. The stores
of Israelites will be closed until 6 o'clock
