Smyrna times., 1924-10-08

The Jewish New Year which
was celebrated recently and
YOm Kippur, which began at
sundown last night has pro-
found religious meaning, bound
up as it is with such a wealth
of historic association. 1t is
known as the Day of Mem
Orial, a day of memory and
searching the heart. The piOus
Jew, in his house of worship,
confesses before God his sins of
the past year, and turn over a
new leaf for the year to come.
1t is also known as the Day of
Judgment, for this confession
brings forgiveness on the Day
of Atonement, ten days after
while the absence of true re-
pentance brings punishment di-
rectly on the head of the sinner.
These two aspects of religious
thought are joined in all the SER
vices of the day, and their mean
ing is impressed still more deep
ly on the congregation by the
annual notes of the Shofar, with
their meaning of solemn re-
minder of the past and warning
for the future.
The New Year and Atone
ment seaon is, in way, a re-
vival season among the Jews. II
is the time when all Jews, OF.
thodox and liberal alike, attend
the synagog, whatever may be
their attitude through the year
At this time every house of wOr.
ship is crowded with eager wor
shippers. In addition, in ever!
large Jewish community tenn
pOrary holyday services are or
ganized to accommodate non
members, and the leading con
gregations everywhere provid
overflow services if needed.
The intense and universe
celebration of these solemn day
ushers in the new religious yea
of the Jewish calendar, and in
presses anew on every WORSHIP
per the eternal lessons Of fait
and duty.

clearly never doubling which way their
quarry had sped.
AS for Sir Rowland Blake's connec-
ton with this pursuit. the town gallant
had by his earnestness not only con-
vinced Col. Luttrell of his loyalty and
devotion to King James, but had actual
y gone go far as to beg that he might
be allowed to prove that same loyalty
by leading the soldiers to the capture of
those self-confessen traitors, MIR. Wild
ing and Mr.. Trenchard. From his knowl-
edge Of their haunts he was confident, he
assured Col. Luttrell. that he cou be of
service to the king in this matter. The
fierce sincerity of his purpose shone
through his words. Luttrell caught the
accent of hate In Sir Rowland's tense
voice, and being shrewd man, he saw
that if Mr. Wilding was to be taken. an
enemy would surely be the best pursuer
to accomplish It, So he prevailed. and
gave him the trust he sought. in spite
of Albemar'es expressed reluctance
And never did bioodhounds set out more
reientess'y purposefui upon a scent than
did Sir Rowland follow now In what he
believed to be the track of this man
who stood between him and Ruth West
macott Until Ruth was widowed, Sir
Rowland's hopes Of her must lie fallow,
and SO it was with Zest that he hung
himself into the task of widoWing her.
As the party passed out of view round

made his way back to Wilding to tell
him what he had seen, and to lay be-
fore him, for his enucleation, the prob
lem of Blake's being the leader of 1t.
But Wilding thought little of Blake. and
cared little of what he might be the
leader.
We'll stay here" said he, until they
have passed the crest Of the hill"
This, Trenchard told him, was his own
purpose for to leave their concealEient
carrier would be to reveal themselves TO
any of the troops who might happen to
glance over his shoulder.
And so they waited some ten min
utes or so, and then walked their
horses slowly and carefully forward
through the trees toward the road.
Wilding was alongside and slightly
ahead of Trenchard; vallancey fol-
lowed close upon their tails. Sud-
denly. as Wilding was about to put
his mare at the low stone wall,
Trenchard leaned forward and caught
his bride.
