WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY

There Came q Little Child to Earth.
There came little child to earth,
Long ago:
And the angels of God proclaimed His
High and low.
Out on the night so calm and still,
Their song was heard. =.
For they knew that the child of Beth
,lehem's Hill. ...T.I
Was Christ, the Lord.
Far away in goodly land,
Fair and bright.
Children with crowns of glory stand,
Robed in white.
In white more pure than the spotless
snow,
And their tongues unite
In the psalm which the angels sang
long ago
On Christmas night.
%Asy sing how the Lord Of that world
a child was born:
Aad That they might crown of glory
wear, ''
Wore a crown of thorns.
In mortal weakness. in want and pain,
Came forth to die,
That the children of earth might for
ever reign
With Him on high.
He has put on His kingly apparel
now,
In that goodly land;
And He leads to where fountains of
water flow,
That chosen band.
And forevermore in their garments
fair
And undefiled
Those ransomed children His praise
declare,
Who was once child.

OBSERvEDSUNDAY
Festival of Rosh Hashanah
Celebrated at Temple
Emanuel, Davenport.

The Jewish New Year festival,
known as Rosh Hashanah, will be cele-
brated with special services at Temple
Emanuel, Davenport, Sunday evening
at o'clock and Monday morning at
10 o'clock The following circular let
ter explaining the significance of the
feast has been issued by the Central
Conference of American Rabbis:
The feast of Rosh Hashanah or New
Years day, which inaugurates the
most solemn season of the Jewish re-
ligious year. begins this year on Sun
day evening, September 20 and lasts
till shutdown Monday, the 21st. Among
orthodox Jews who celebrate two
days. the following day, Tuesday, is al
so observed This day opens the Jew
ish calendar year, 5675.
The observance of this day as holy
season is commanded in two pas
sages of the five books of Moses,
namely Leviticus %: 1925 and Num-
bers 20: /. In neither passage is there
any specific command as to how the
day is to be observed beyond the in
functions to blow the trumpet, to hold
holy convocation and to engage in
no servile occupation.
1t is to be noted that This day is the
first day of the seventh month or the
day of the new moon of that month.
The new moon was observed as a holy
season by the Jews of old; the seventh
month was a particularly holy month,
as the seventh day was the holy day
of the week; hence the new moon of
the seventh month was invested with
a significance of far holier import than
the other new moon days of the year.
AS in all holy seasons no servile work,
no gainful occupation was to be fol-
lowed.
The Injunction to blow the trumpet
on this day was to call the people TO
before the Lord. In the
course of time, this ceremony of blow
ing the shofar became the central fea-
ture of the elaborate religious service
conducted on the day. Just as the
shofar called the people to remem-
brance before the Lord so also were
its sounds to. arouse the people to
their shortcomings and TO their duties
in which they may have failed. The
day is called on this account Yom ha-
Day of Memorial
Another idea which in time came to
be associated with the day was that
on this day God weighed mems actions
in the scale of justice. For this rea-
son another designation of the day is
Yom haddin The Day of Judgment" ,
The days intervening between New
ears day and the Day of Atonement
are called The Ten Days of Peni-
tencs." during which the opportunity !
Is had To reflect finally on and raposr
he wrongs done during the year; if
the repentance Is sincere forgiveness ,

ship will be decided in the battle Fri

next to Beachy in pulling sensational
stunts in a biplane. is giving two at

dangerous dips and darts that seem
almost impossible to the average on

Boy Struck BY Horse.
The only accident to mar the pleas
ure of the day occurred just at the
close of the races, when little Roy
Peck was sitting on the center field
fence as the running horses were com
ing out TO start. Just as the horse,
Dora Lou, came running down the
stretch. Roy dropped a rubber ball
and started to climb into the track for
it. He was hit by the horse and hurl-
ed several feet toward the outer edge
of the track. The sound of the impact
as the horse struck the boy sent a
shiver over the whole crowd. The lit
tie fellow was conscious when picked
up. but was badly bruised about the
head and it is feared he is injured in
ternally.
Races Up to Standard.
The races were up to the Aledo
standard and of the best class offered
on half mile tracks. Although the en-
tries were not large, every race was
holly contested and was any ones race
until finished. Major X. is a grand
old hobbled trotter that was picked by
many to win the first race. although
Axtien has made a start and a good
showing in the grand circuit this year.
The Major came through in the first
heat and won it handily, but after that
Axtien could not be headed Axtien is

eminent offered $4,000 for to use at

Banquet, a neat little bay geldlng
owned down in Iowa and driven by
Henry Miers of Rock Island, looked
like a sure winner in the Is pace, but
after going two good heats, Denny Boy
came through and won the race, al
though each finish was down under
the whip. Because several horses were
on the grounds with no class in which
they could start and others that had
entered in classes that had not filled,
consolation pace was put on. The
time was very fast, but the field was
outclassed by Alice Hunter. Wild
Rose. owned by Charles Clark of Sher-
rard, took third money in this race.
She was driven by Henry Miers OF
Rock Island.
