TO BE PREPARED
Is TO BE INSURED,
Do It Now.

| day in connection with practically all
! the more important Jewish holidays
and festivals, says an article prepared
| by the tract commission Of the Central
conference of American Rabbits. This
custom on their part grew out of GER
tain complex conditions in the cale.l-
cation of early rabbinical times and
the practice, once established, has
been kept up by them, even though the
original reason no longer obtains. The
Reform Jews observe only the day
scripturally prescribed. The date of
Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the
month of Tishri and the New Year
now to be ushered in, is, according to
the traditional Jewish calendar the
year 5677.
Unlike January /, Rosh Hashanan
has been fully able to resist seculari-
cation. 1t is in form and spirit
holy day Observation-Disclosures holiday.
Solemn services characterize it's OBJ
servance both evening and morning. 1t
is a time dedicated to retrospection,
iltrospection and resolutions for the
future. The day bears the special
designation of Yom ha Din or a Day
of Judgment. With quaint mysticism
the old tradition represents the souls
of men as being on this day before
the divine Tribunal at the annual asr
sizes on high. The great recording
books lie open and the individual
destinies are set down, but (and this
is the significant element in the con-
ception) the award in each given case
must be sealed by the person himself;
thereby that, though the
varying issues of the New Year pro-
coed from Gods providence, no ones
future is determined apart from what
he himself is and does. Out of the
above conception has grown up the
familiar greeting interchanged by
Jews on Rosh Hashanah, namely, "le-
shonah tovah ti-kasevu," meaning
MAY you be inscribed for a good
year!'
An important feature of the ritual
Of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of
the Shofar Or Rams horn. In ancient
days the sounding of this instrument
was associated with times of national
crisis and other solemn occasions.
There are various fanciful explana-
tons of the connection of the Shofar
with the celebration of Rosh Hashana
Each Of it's dominant notes likewise
has been given a smbolic signifi-
cancel AS the tones of the Shofar are
of peculiarly piercing quality the
sounding Of the Shofar may be regard
ed as a clarion-call to the conscience
to strive after the higher life in the
New Year. The prominence accorded
to the ceremony of the sounding of
the Shofar during the services has
made Rosh Hashanah known as the
Yom ha-Teruah, "the day of the
Sounding of the Shofar."

FOR IMPROVEMENT SOCIAL
CONDITIONS,

Representatives of nine state
organizations have formed State
Cooperative Council for Social Legis-
lation. The organizations represent
ed are the State Federation of Labor.
the Arkansas Conference for Social
Welfare, the State Bar association,
the State Federation of Women's
clubs, the state Farmers union, the
State Teachers association, the Ar
kansas w. c. T. u, the State Home
opathic association, and the State
Medical association.
1t is the purpose of those interested
in the movement to make this coun
Gil a clearing house for all proposed
legislation of social nature that may
come before the general assembly for
consideration. They will secure from
other states the best and most de-
tailed information regarding bills
pending there, Much can be accom-
plished of q beneficent nature by put
ting behind the bills that may be in
troduced in the Arkansas legislature
the forceful influence of leaders in
social welfare in other states.
There is an aggregate membership
Of 100000 in the component organiza-
tons, and their support of any meas
ure should have a tremendous influ-
ence upon the lawmakers.
One of the preliminary questions
taken up by the council is a bill for
the establishment of general charity
hospital for the state. wherein the
sick, injured and crippled who cannot
afford treatment elsewhere may be
given free treatment 1t provides for
the sale of forty acres belonging to
the state, west of the Deaf-Mute insti-
tute, and the use of $4,000 left by the
late DR.. Isaac Folsom for the cree
ton and maintenance of such an insti-
tuition. 1t is also to be provided that
the states charitable institutions
shall be divorced from politics, and
shall be controlled BY a board of
managers to be appointed by the gov
ernor and to serve without salary. The
secretary alone would receive COM
pensatlon for his services. This would
eliminate the present system of man
agement by the state board of con-
troll provided by the legislature OF
1915, and its proponents claim wcn'.l
save money and result in better ser
vice.

will bring to a head questions that
have been agitating the church for
many years.
Among the important SUBJECTS
scheduled for consideration are the
relation of the Episcopal church to
other Christian communions; revis-
ion and enrichment Of the prayer
book; Christian education; mission
airy organization, and the election of
a bishop for negroes in the United
States.
The session Of the house of depu-
ties will be open to the public An
other attempt to throw the session
of the house Of bishops open to the
public will be made. Such an attempt
at the last triennial geenral conven-
ton was DEBATED by narrow mar
gin.
One of the interesting features of
the convention, side from the ordi-
nary routine of business, will be a
celebration in honor of the 55th ami
versary of the election to the episco-
pate Of Bishop futile of Missouri.
Bishop futile is the oldest member
Of the house Of bishops in point of
service and by right of seniority has
held the honor of presiding bishop
for many years. He is to preside
over the approaching sessions in this
city and will also preach the con-
vention sermon.
The total number of delegates to
the convention will be close to 800
and in addition there will be many
visitors to the gathering. For their
reception and entertainment elabor-
ate preparations are now being made
by the local church organizations
