JEWS OF THE CAPITAL
OBSERVE YO'A K|PPUR
Fasting and Prayers for For
giveness Mark Day of
Atonement Rites.

All Jewish people in Washington. both
orthodox and reformed, are today OBJ
serving the Day of Atonement, or Yom
Kippur. which represents to the Jews
what Lent does to Christians 1t is a
day of fasting and prayers for forgive
ness
Four services are being celebrated to-
day IN all the Jewish synagogues and
temples. Beginning at 10 o'clock this
morning the services continue practically
continuously until this evening. Sermons,
prayers and music are the features of
the services.
Yom Kippur is to be followed next
Wednesday by the feast OF the taber-
nacles or Succoth. as the Jews call it
This is to be feast of gladness, when
the Jews give thanks for the mercy of
God and for the blessings of the harvest
time. The feast was inaugurated 5000
years ago, when the Jews. after their
forty years of wandering. settled down
in the promised land to follow agricul-
tural pursuits.
Starts on Wednesday.
The celebration will begin Wednesday
night. and the principal services will last
twenty -four hours, although the period
of feasting and rejoicing continues for
about eight days. In the olden days it
was the custom for the Jews to congre-
gate at the temples for the holiday. Each
family erected a rough shelter or pavil-
ion in which were offered up the prayers
of thanksgiving. and in which also the
friends were welcomed and Toasted. The
custom is still practiced as far as posi-
BILE. There are pavilions built in connec-
ton with all of the churches in the cities.
where the customs of the fathers are
duplicated as nearly as possible.
At the Eighth Street Temple Wednes-
day night there will be a service that will
be children's harvest festival The
children will bring contributions of fruit
and groceries. These will be placed on
the platform. later to be distributed to
the poor Lawrence Heller will speak at
the children's festival.

CHURCH WAS "A LAWBREAKER
Congregation Learns It's Business Has
Been Transacted in an Illegal
Manner.

independence, Kan.--An incorpor-
ated concern doing business in the
state of Kansas without a charter is
not often found, but in this city there
is one. 1t is the First Presbyterian
church, which has not had charter
Tor at least twenty-three years, if
ever. In the meantime the trustees
OF the organization have as board
representing the church bought and
sold real estate and erected two build
lngs, a handsome church building and
manse. A meeting was held last
thursday evening at which 299 mem
bers of the congregation were rep
resented, either in person or by proxy
and application was made for a new
charter. This charter will legaliZe
the acts of the trustees since the ex-
plration of the original charter, which,
II one ever existed, expired in 1890.
The church was organized in this
city in 1870. 1t is the opinion of the
charter members, only two of whom
are now alive, that charter was
secured at that time, but if SO, it has
been lost and has not been seen for
more than quarter of century.
The absence of charter was dis
covered a few weeks ago by one of
the Oldest members, and steps were
Immediately taken to obtain a new
charter. Since the expiration of the
old charter the trustees of the church
have sold the property on which the
first church hui1dino wac arented and
purchased another lot, erected a new
building st cost of about $4,000 and
furnished it and have been using it
for more than dozen years. An
other lot was purchased some years
ago and parsonage was erected at
cost of several thousand dollars.
The acts of the trustees in these mat
tiers were entirely illegal, according to
good authority, and it is claimed that
securing a new charter will legaliZe
these acts and also place the church
organization in a position to sue and
be sued, although the officers and the
members of the church are not look
ing for anything of the kind to hap
pen, as none of them are seeking law
suits.
OF the charter members of this
church only Mrs j. B. Craig and Mrs.
B. F. Devore remain. Mrs. Craig's
husband was the first mayor of hide
pendence, and Mrs. Devore's hus-
band, with Judge Craig. was one Of
the founders of the town of indie
pendence
