Text: That every created thing may
know that Thou hast created it, and
all the living proclaim: "The Lord Of
Israel Ruleth."-From the Tefillah of
Rosh Hashanah.
Thought: It is our task on this day
to learn how to be conscious, with
mind and heart, Of our divine origin,
SO that we may achieve a largeness
Of vision, an impulse to holiness, and
the courage Of our religious convic-
tions.
From the beginning of our history,
religion has been our central inter-
est. Students and dreamers in Israel
have written books and composed
poems on the nature of God, the du-
ties Of man, the pathway Of life, and
the hope for the future. The energy
which other peoples have put into
state buildings and war making, we
have expended on the solution Of the
problems Of religion. Thus it has come
about that festivals and solmen hol-
idays which with other peoples might
have degenerated, with the passing
Of years, into meaningless requests
from bygone ages, have with US, as
the centuries handed them down, gain
ed deeper meanings and richer con-
notations. Thus, for example, Pesach
which at one time was an ordinary
spring festival, became with US SYM
Dol Of God-given liberty, and served
as an assurance to an oppressed peo-
pie that no matter how CALLING the
present yoke may be, God will newt
ably manifest His power as "Mattir
Assurim," The Liberator of the OPP
pressed. Shabuoth, a farmers festi-
val, became the symbol Of Gods
choice Of Israel as His messengers,
and Of Israel's choice at the sacred
mountain Of Sinai, Of God as their
GUIDE; and 1t gave power to the con-
viction that none of the indignities
imposed by petty princelings would
ever avail to degrade Israel from its
role as the teacher Of the Thorag and
the messenger Of the Most High. Suk-
koth, a harvest celebration, grew into
an ever-recurring reminder that God
who blesses the earth, will ever open
His hand and graciously satisfy the
needs Of men. So, too, the solemn days
that we are now entering have come
To mean much more than mere New
Year, and days Of pardon. Centuries
Of creative religious thought have
made them expressive Of the funda-
mentals of faith.
II is evident at first glance that the
sacred season beginning with the New
Year, Is Distinctly differed in its ma
ture from our other great festivals.
Pssach, Shabuoth and Sukkoth are in
their mood joyous and care free. They
recall the happy days Of the harvest,
and hearten us with the promise that
the voice Of joy and gladness will yet
resound from the tents Of Israel. But
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are
fundamentally solemn; they call to
mind serious things; they speak Of
sin. stubborness and weakness; and
because these days are soberly ser
ious, they are called "Yonim Noroim,"
"days Of solemnity." The three joy
Gus pilgrimage festivals are concern
al with the whole people of Israel.

soul, and remind it of its private
shortcomings. Solemn and intimate,
earnestly delving into the hidden
depths of the heart Of man, such is
the nature Of these impending days.
The appeal which serious religious
holy day makes to man is quite clear.
1t is, generally speaking, a call to en-
visage the higher possibilities of life.
to learn how to be ennobled by the
consciousness of the nearness of God.
Hence, the whole liturgy Of this day
impresses the message Of spiritual self
elevation; and many telling Biblical
phrase has been used by generations
Of preachers to stir the emotions and
to purify the heart. To aid US today in
the task Of bringing out the mood and
spirit of the day, we can well use the
following sentence from the service
Of Rosh Hashanah:
$50 that every thing may know
that Thou hast created it, and all the
living proclaim that the Lord Of Is
rael ruleth." This sentence is fire.
quently repeated in the service, and
conveys fully just what inspiration
the day can bring. As we study this
sentence we will find that its deeper
implications will repay the effort Of
analysis.
"That every created thing may
know that God has created it." It is
fundamental to religious doctrine
that God is the fountain Of life. All
existing things are fashioned by Him.
The philosopher and the unthinking
brute, the singer and the silent stone,
the cities and the deserts, the depths
Of the earth and heavens above, all
declare that His hand has made them.
Yet especially fortunate is man, so
said an ancient rabbi, that he alone
can be made conscious Of his divine
origin. OF all creation, man alone can
feel Gods spirit within him. And the
more deeply man is aware Of it, and
the more unwaveringly he bears it in
mind, the nearer does the creature ap-
proach the Creator. Hence we seek on
this day, by means Of an ancient rit-
ual, by historic words, by stirring mu-
sic, by all means Of self-inspiration
known to man, to remind the son Of
dust that he is also the child Of God.
To know this fully, to understand
clearly the whole grandeur Of our
spiritual relationship, requires at once
the wisdom Of a sage and the simpli-
city Of a child. One must be able to
study and to think, and also to re-
joice and be glad. knowledge Of Gods
power means Of course first Of all
mental clearness. An ignorant man
cannot be fully religious, and faith
that is based upon darkness will van
ish with the first rays Of the sun Of
enlightenment. II is well therefore
that faith like ours has always bas-
ed itself upon knowledge. The whole
history Of Israel has been a history
Of students, book readers and book
writers. The religious school, the SER
mon, private study, have been from
the earliest days the mental basis for
Jewish life. But ITO know the Lord as
our Creator" does not necessarily
mean that we must know that truth
by reasoning alone. For after all, II
one based his religion solely upon the
results of philosophic speculation, he
would never arrive anywhere. The de-
bate as to the existence Of God, as to

and of the world.
Every possible effort will be made.
directly and indirectly, by the worlds
cotton mill interests to induce the
South to increase its cotton acreage,
but any man who does that from a
selfish or from mistaken point of
view of an increased supply of his
own raw materials will be endanger-
ing the worlds food supply.
Millions of people are on the verge
of starvation and it is estimated that
millions will actually die for lack of
food, which we are not sending in
adequate supply and which Europe
has not produced.
The cost of food in this country
will in all human probability steadily
advance despite all the mouthings Of
politicians who are predicting lower
prices, but whose predictions have in
every case during the last two years
proven false.
More corn, more oats, more hogs,
more cattle, more poultry must be the
motto of the South. The business man
who does not seek to impress this
fact upon the farmers will be, to the
extent of his Influence, adding to the
inevitable higher cost of living for
himself and his employees and all
others.
The Southern cotton grower now
controls the situation, to a certain ex-
tent insui.ng fair margin of profit
on the staple, but his profit is not
near so much as it should be in pro-
portion to the profits of cotton mills.
The question, however, is infinitely
broader than the welfare of the cot
ton mills of this country and of Eu-
rope, for people can lessen their con-
sumption Of cotton goods TO far
greater advantage than they can les
sen the supply of foodstuffs.
If the South does not raise its own
foodstuffs to a larger extent than
ever before since 1861 and increase
its supply for shipment to other Sec
tons, it will fall short of its duty to
itself and 10 the world.-Manufac-
turers Record.

souTH's DUTY TO THE WORLD

The supreme business need of the
South this year will be to raise more
foodstuffs.
Unless the South increases its
grain acreage and its production OF
meats, an advance in the price OF
cotton will be almost in vain so far as
general future prosperity is concern
ed, and especially the prosperity of
the cotton growers.
Every Southern State, like every
other State in the Union, has small
er acreage in wheat this winter than
a year ago. The aggregate decrease
for tn country is about 100000
acres, or % per cent. In the. West
there are evidences of a very great
decrease in the meat supply. Unless
the South meets this situation by the
raising of more corn and oats and
pork and beef and poultry, this Sec
ton and the country at large will
have to pay exorbitant prices for the
foodstuffs and feedstuffs of the
present year.
No greater commercial folly could
be committed by the South than to be
tempted to increase its cotton acre
age at the expense of its foodstuff
supply. Any man who advocates that
policy is going directly contrary TO

Kolno, Poland, by courier to blot
towen, East Prussia.-SOviet Russia
Intends to ask an alliance with Ger
many to make war on France, and IL
this is successful, to undertake a con-
quest Of England and eventually
America, officials of the Bolshevikl
regime told the Associated Press
correspondent here. As soon as the
Polish war, which is considered to be
a purely Russian business, has been
finished, a note will be sent to Berlin,
they declared, demanding permission
to transport troops across Germany
for the French campaign. Upon re-
fusal of this request, which is taken
for granted, revolution will be in
stituted In Germany, the success OF
which, the BOlsheviki asserted, they
were prepared TO assure by force of
arms.
With these ends In view the Russian
soldiers who have been told that all
wars shall cease with ultimate victory
over the Poles, are being subjected to
q vigorous propaganda which declares
that Frenchmen will be shot on sight,
but that the Germans are friends who
soon will become comrades of the Boil
sheviki. These admissions have been
corroborated by Information gathered
by the correspondent In conversations
with German representatives of East
Pussian newspapers. The BOlshevild
leaders declare that within three
weeks they will be in complete con-
troll of Poland, including the Polish
corridor, which they intend to occupy,
leaving ten kilometer neutral zone
about Danzig. When the correspond
ent reached here after surreptitiously
having crossed the border at Ger

and a farm wagon filled with straw,
