JEWISH NEW YEAR
 TO BE OBSERVED
JEWISH RESIDENTS WILL ATTEND SERVICES AT TEMPLE AND
 STORES WILL BE CLOSED.
Rabbi Joseph Jasin Will Give His hi, tfal Lecture on New
 Years Eve.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, falls this year on Thursday September 12. It will, as usual, be observed by the Jewish people of this city as we'll as throughout the world The business houses of the city will be closed all day and services will be held at the Temple by the new minis ter, Rabbi Joseph Jasin. The first service will be held on Wednesday evening, September II, at which Rab- bi Jasin will present his formal ser mon, the first lecture since his arrival in this city. It is planned to invite the attendance ;of worshippers from nearby towns, where no synagogues exist. Visitors of all faiths are well come at the New Years services at the Temple.
 Rosh Hashanah is one of the most
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-09-06

important holidays in the Jewish cal endar Like all Jewish holidays it is reckoned from Evening to evening and it's initial service will be held on the evening of the eleventh. While, owing to the variance between the solar and lunar system of calculation, it may appear to occur irregularly, it is definitely set in the Jewish calen- dar as the first day of the seventh month, Tishri.
 1t is not known scripturally as the New Year. In the Scriptures it is termed the Day of the Memorial of the Blowing of the Trumpet Hev- iticus XXXIlI-24) or simply, as the Day of the Blowing of the Trumpet Numbers XXIXX-1.)
 The nature of the festival is what it's name signifies, i. e. marking of the passage of time and a monition of the uncertain tenure of human life. It does not commemorate any historical incident. Nor does it make it's ap- peal to the racial consciousness of the Jews. Its appeal is entirely to the present and to the individual con- science. It is thoroughly universal istic and can be responded to by all religiOnists of whatever creed.
 The day is observed seriously and solemnly. It emphasizes the sense of Divine guidance, and, at the time, of human responsibility. The blowing of the trumpet, the Shofar or rams horn is the peculiar service of the day. It is the buglecall of the Spirit, arous- ing the conscience in the contempla- tlon of misspent hours, and awaken ing' the impulse to make the new, coming year more fruitful of noblo and unselfish action.
 The observance of the day is con- plete alike by both the reform and orthodox wings of the Synagog. Of- fees and business houses are closed and the house of prayer is thronged with worshippers.
