SPECIAL SERVICES
 AT BETH FL CONG,
Rabbi kaplan of New York. Breaches Interesting Sermon On Day
 of AtOnement
of AtOnencnt.

Special services were held yester- day by Beth Fl Congregation in hon. or of the Day of Atonemen't, the most sacred day in the Hebrew calendar pr. Bernard NJ. kaplan of New York addressed the congregation. Among other things the rabbi said:
 'The person who is happily free from sorrow and struggle, from anxiety and care, does not feel like praying and cannot feel the emotion of prayer when he does pray. But how few, indeed, are they who have not tasted the cup of sorrow and dis appointment Human sorrow and sadness are as universal as tears and death; hence the universality of pray CT, Every sigh that echoes from the heaving breast is a prayer Every murmur of the trembling lips is prayer. Every tear that trickles down the careworn cheek is a pray CT.
 Prayer represents mans depend- ence upon some higher power, the spiritual Principle of all existence which we cal God Prayer is the inner feeling in man of his insignifi- cance, his helplessness ad his ephem- eral existence as compared with
 
 the Absolute Principle of love, power,
 justice, and truth. There is none holy as the Lord, for there is none besides Thee, and there is no power like unto our God said Mother Han nah in her attitude of humility. No- tice what the sacred writer says of Hannah's manner of praying: And Hannah prayed in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard A true prayer must emanate from the heart, and must be felt by the heart. It touches the soul. It must be expressed with feeling, and in a spirit of humility and sincerity. It matters little whether one praYs in this or in that language, whether he prays much or little, so long as the 1 heart feels what the lips utter. He 1 prays best who feels the most, and | he feels the most whose conduct of l life squares with his prayer" A special prayer was offered up by l Rev. pr. Kaplan for the recovery of 1 President Wilson.

GULL YOUR HENS

Gull the flock of hens and give feed
to only the producers. This cam

November when every one interested
in better hens and more eggs will
have had an opportunity to thor
oughly post themselves along these
lines. This is a needed attention to
the poultry interests and would
serve to increase profits at less ex-

Insects Preserved in Amber.

In collection of red amber present
ed to the British museum. Prof. 7. d.
Cockerell has recognized an astonlsh
ing variety of insect forms, and has
described not less than 81 new species,
of which five are types of new genera.
Most of them were found in a single
block little larger than mans fist,
which was cut into half-inch slices, In
every one of which the insects are
densely crowded. The amber is from
Miocene clay beds of Burma, though
perhaps washed from still older depos-
its. and nearly every large order of in
sects is represented, the family of ants
being a notable exception.
