The Celebration OF The
Jewish New Year.

On the evening of October 3 and
tae dagaof the 4ththe Jewish people
will observe the Rosh Hashanah or
New Years day of the year 5671.
The meaning and purpose of this
festival is not set forth explicitly in
the bible; we are left to infer them
from the Scriptural titles of the day,
The Memorial of Blowing of Trum-
pets Oev. xiii, 23) and the Day of
Blowing the Trumpet" plumbers
xxx, y as we'll as from the fact that
the Jewish New Year is the seventh
new moon of the Hebrew calendar.
In the Biblical age every new moon
was regarded as a solemn occasion,
and the seventh, the sacred number,
was especially so.
1t became the day of the blowing
of the trumpet-par eXcellence-re-
minding the Israelite that a new
period of time begins; and that no
occasion could be more appropriate
for the endeavor after new life for
amendment and reconciliation with
God. 1t was the day of memorial,
when Israel felt himself held by God
in mercifuf remembrance. But if
Israel would have God mindful of
him, he must be mindful of his re-
sponsibilities, to Him and to mans
higher nature. The symbolic act OF
sounding the Shophar, or rams horn,
which is performed in the synagogues
in obedience to the scriptural pre-
cept, is intended to bring home to
the Israelite this aspect of the days
meaning.
1t is a solemn occasion, though not
mournful one. 1t is day OF chaS"
tened memories, a day Of rejecting
on mans frailty of character. But
beneath this sombre sense of weak
ness, both physical and moral, there
lies in the worshiper's heart the Sc
rene gertrude of Gods justice and
mercy.
The Jewish population of Fitzger-
aid, will observe the day with proper
ceremonies at the w. r. C. Hall Mon
day evening October 3, $50 p. m.
and Tuesday morning October 4th,
at 1000 a. m.

No parable sets forth more lucidly
the probationary character of the
present life. Analogies abound.
AS childhood stands related to ma
turity, apprenticeship to trade, stu
dentship to profession, SO the whole
present life stands related to the life
to come. Stated catagorically, as
fractional periods stand related to
the whole life, so the whole life in
this world stands related to the life
to come in the unseen world. AS
Alice Carey sings:
The hues that our tomorrow wear,
Are by our yesterdays forecast
Our future takes into itself
The true impressions of our past.
Our George Eliot still more pro-
foundry
Our deeds still travel with us from affair."
And what we have been makes us what we are. -

1t was when Ulisses slept the

Aeolus. So the classics are inter-
woven with legens strikingly illus
trating the necessity of eternal Wig
lance. But Jesus dismisses quaint
fiction, defines the ethical principles
involved and grounds the necessity
on a moral basis. The spirit of true
Christian watchfulness is sometimes
lost in the mazes of arithmetical
calculation of the date of the second
coming of Jesus. He watches best

strong impression made by the

tian parents. Gregory (the Greek)

How The Double Red
Cross Originated.

Although the double red cross has
been used in America for more than
four years as the international en-
blem of the crusade against tuber-
culosis, few people have known how
it originated until announcement of
the history of the symbol was made
public to-day by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.
1t has been ascertained that the
double red cross was suggested as
the symbol Of the International
Anti-Tuberculosis Association IN
Berlin in October, 1902. Those pro
poser of the symbol was DR.. G. Ser
siron of Paris who is now Associate
Secretary of L'Association Centrale
Franchise Contre la tuberculosis
DR.. Sersiron's proposal was adopted
at the Berlin meeting and move
ment was at once started to secure
official recognition and protection
for the double cross from European
governments.
The double red cross is similar in
shape to a cross used frequently In
the Greek Catholic Churches, and
also to the Lorraine Cross Of France.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculos-
is in the United States has adopted
the proportions of nine for the length
of the cross to five for the width of
the arms, with a space one-ninth of
the length between the arms.
In 1902, when the double red cross
was adopted, there was not more
than a half-dozep associations for
the prevention of tuberculosis Or
ganized on a wide basis To-day
under the banner of the anti-tuber-
culosis crusade, associations have
been formed in almost every civiliZ-
ed country in the world. Even China
is beginning to take action along this
line, while in Turkey, India, Japan,
the Philippines, South Africa, Aus
tralia, Iceland, and in all of the Eu-
ropean counties active societies are
at work. In the United States, from
four Independent associations in
1902, the double red cross now en-
lists a carefully organized national
under which are affiliated
more than thirty states bodies and
APO local societies. If to these agen-
Cies are added the local. state and
notional governments enrolled in
anti-tubeaculosis work, the double
red cross becomes the symbol of the
greatest organized campaign for the
prevention of disease that the%world
has ever known.

This Is A Corn Country.

Those who do not know that South
Georgia is corn country may be
astonished to read the reports that
are coming ill from the corn contest
in several counties. In Sumpter
the winners:
W. S. Roach, 1873 bushels and
pound.
F. A. Wilson, 124 bushels and 81
pounds.
M.Johnson, 1874 bushels and 81
pounds of corn per acre of South
Georgia land,
There are people who are ignorant
of the fact that a hundred bushels
of corn can be produced on one acre
of Georgia soil. We believe it is pos
sibIe to produce two hundred bushels
on an acre and that it is more profit
able to intensity than to plant a
large acreage with little fertilization
and Indifferent cultivation.
Mr.. W. S. Roach is a cousin of Mr..
E. E. Roach of this place and Mr..
F. A. Wilson is a brother of Mrs. S.
G. Pryor
We believe that an acre Of Ben
Hill land can be made to produce as
much corn or oats as an acre Of any
soil in the world and we shall inau-
gurate a big contest for next year,
with attractive prizes.

The Wise and Foolish Virgins.
This parable fairly teens with
oriental incident and coloring. 1t has
been called beautiful, simple, rich.
Instructive and fullest in any sided
meaning. 1t is one Of several touch
ing the c0nsummatiOn of the king
dom of God. There were ten virgins.
The number signifies Wilderness, ten
being the all comprehending num-
5er. The virgins were alike. in that
they all had lamps, they all wanted
10 see the bridegroom, they all slept.
But the things in which they, agreed
were mere accidents. The thing in
which they differed was the essen
tial. Five (the number is not sig
nifcent, certainly not of the proper
ton Of these who are elecD had oil
to make the festive illumination,
The other five were vain and thought
less, looking only at appearances,
personally unready and vainly ex-
pecting to have their lamps filled
on sudden from the common store.
There is touch of orientalism in
the suddenness Of the bridegroom's
arrival. The time could not be
scheduled as upon a modern rail
way time-card. The dialogue be-
tween the wise and foolish is pathetic.
Give us!' is the futile plea of folly.
Not sol" is the repelIant Of wisdom.
There is really no severity, much
less irony, in the reply and accom-
panying advice.
The fate of the foolish on the face
of it seems remedies. The time
when they could have gotten the
oil was passed. They were late in
! troubling themselves. The time
when the illumination was needed
was over. The bridal party was al
ready IN the brilliance of the ban-l
quet hall and the door was shut.
How could the bridegroom recognize
those who had not been of the COM
pany to bid his welcome and lead
him to his bride.
So much for the pictorial side of
the parable. In its spiritual appi-
cation it's minutiae count for little,
and one needs to guard against
excessive allegorizing. In a general
way the ten may be said to repre-
sent the whole visole church, part
of which to this day has the form
only (creed and sacrament) the
lightless lamp of a mere ecclesiaSti-
cal confession. The other part has
the lamp of churchly form filled
with the eternal substance of the
spirit of Christ There is the con-
tinous deadly antithesis, wheat and
tares, true and false, dead and living,
wise and foolish. But the external
similarity is SO great that there is
need of the caution against attempt
ing to judge and divide.
In the ultimate analysis it is re-
duced to a personal matter. Each
virgin brought her own lamp. None
can stand for another. Holiness of
another cannot avail for US. The
Lords arrival is the testing time
discovering to all alike whether in
