 STORES CLOSED
 All stores conducted by persons of the Je"lsh faith Will be closed from sun down Friday until sundown Saturday. Tom Kippur comes nine days after the Jewish New Year. the interval between the two being regarded as a period of spiritual preparation
 One of the distinctive features of the observance of the Day of Atonement is the practice of fasting ordained in the Bible and followed by practically all Jews The reason for fasting is to be sought in the primary religious signifi- canoe of the occasion. Atonement by of Day of Atonement has as it's object to instill into worshipers the realization that they should be at one with God in all their deeds and thoughts. For the ad l. equate understanding of this idea, it is necessary to escape the distractions of daily occupation and desirable to ab- stain for the time from food and drink Hence, the universal custom among Jews to close their places of business on the Day of Atonement and spend the entire day in the synagogue, without partaking of physical nourishment.
 The observance of the Day of Atone ment centers about the concepts of sin and repentance, which are fundamental to Jewish religious thought. Sin, it is held, means simply a deviation from the right course and gan be atoned by sincere repentance which is not pass ing mood of emotional exvitement, but an actual return to the moral spiritual life. Mankind, Tar from being innately corrupt or depraved, can surmount the frailties of flesh to the extent of con forming to the exalted ideas revealed by God to the prophets. Man has been ere ated in the image of his Maker, and is capable of the sublimest of feelings, the deepest of thoughts, the noblest of ac- tions. Man may commune directly with God: one may rise above mistakes and wrongs committed in the past to the very loftiest spiritual plane. True repentance expressed in deeds, is the key to human self-ralization, to human happiness. These are the chief themes emphasized by the ritual for the Day of Atonement
 The observance of the Day of Atone ment commences with sundown Friday October 8, and concludes at sundowr Saturday, October 4. The latter part oi the service on Saturday dedicated tc the memory of deceased relatives and friends. is especially solemn and i'm pressive.
