Activities of the Minute in the Harrisburg Churches JEWISH YESR 5G75 BEGINS ON SEPT. 21 Blow Trumpet to Call People to Remembrance Before the Lord The feast of Rosh Hashanah or New fear's Day, which inaugurates the most solemn season of the Jewish re ligious year, begins this year on Sun day evening, September 20. and lasts till sundown Monday, the 26th. Among orthodox Jews, who celebrate two days, the following day. Tuesday, l« also observed. This day opens the Jawlsh calendar year 5675. The observance of this day as a holy season is commanded in two passages of Ihe Five Rooks of Moses, namely Leviticus xxlti, 24 and 25, and Num bers xxlx, 1. Tn neither passage is there any specific command as to how the day is to lie observed beyond the injunctions to bl'ow the trumpet, to hold a holy convocation and to engage in no servile occupation. It Is to he noted that this day is the first day of the seventh month, or Ihe day of the new ntoon of that month. The new moon was observed as a holy season by the Jews of old; the seventh month was a particularly holy month, as the seventh day was the holy day of the week; hence the new moon of the seventh month was invested with a significance of far holier import than the other new moon days of the year. As in all hob seasons no servile work, no gainful occupation was to he followed. The injunction to blow the trumpet on this day was to call the people to remembrance before the Lord. In the course of time, this ceremony of blow ing the shofar became the central fea ture of tlic elaborate religions service conducted on the day. Just as the shofar called the people to remem hrance before ihe Lord, so also were its sounds to arouse the people to their shortcomings and to their duties in which they may have failed. The day Is called on this account Tom hazik karon- —-"The day of Memorial." Another idea which in time came to be associated with the day was that "n this day God weighed men's actions in the scale of justice. For this rea son another designation of the day is om haddin. "The Day of Judgment." The days intervening between New ear's Day and the Day of Atonement are called "The Ten Days of Peni tence." during which the opportunity is had to reflect finally on and repair the wrongs done during the year; if the repentance is sincere forgive ness is gained on the culminating day of the holy season, "The Day of Atone ment." The New Year's Day in the passing ■>f the centuries has thus come to cm body the great religious ideas of di ll- -vine justice and human responsibility. As the beginning of the Jewish re ligious year it emphasizes the relig ious uniqueness of the Jewish people, the servant of the One God, the priest people of humanity. METHODIST Fifth Street—The Rev.

T. Cart wright, associate to Dr. Stough. inter est In the personnel of the Stough party evinced throughout the city hy the co-operating church workers. Air. Cartwright is really the business manager of the party; he looks after all preliminary details; confers with the leaders in the various cities where the party operates; and sees that the field is prepared before the actual evangelistic campaign begins. Mr. Cartright was in Harrisburg several days this week conferring with the. local executive committee In regard to the erection of the huge tabernacle in the Capitol extension territory. With him he brought Mne prints of the great meeting place and gave minute instructions in regard to its heating, lighting and ventilating facilities. Just as soon as the plans are approved by the building and fac tory inspectors of the State the work on the construction of the building where ten thousand Harrisburg people are expected "to hit the saw dust trail" will be started. Benjamin A. Jenkins, who has charge of the men's work of the cam paign, Is one of the most interesting characters in the Stough party. Mr. Jenkins is comparatively new in the evangelistic work, he having hit the trail only five or six years ago. He at one time was a millionaire; and again a penniless down-and-outer. He has a world of experience and knows ex actly what men need and how they should be met to induce them to lead the better life. Miss Sara Palmer is an Irish girl. She has been connected with the Stough Party several years and her work among the women and girls is said to be remarkably successful. Be fore joining the Stough party she was engaged in evangelistic work in the Emerald Isle. Fully sixteen hundred people arc expected to attond the four big pre liminary meetings of the campaign to be held in various churches of the city to-morrow. At the Sixth Street United Brethren church at 3.30 o'clock, R. C. Worrell, chairman of the executive]! committee of the Sunbury campaign, will speak. Robert A. Enders. presl- ' dent of the Sixth Street National Ban';, will preside. Charles F. Cllp pinger, chairman of the music com mittee of the campaign, will have charge of the singing. P. A. Roberts, a prominent Sunbury railroad man, will speak at the same hour in St. Paul's Methodist Episco- , pal Church, Vine street, near Front. 1 11. W.

' L-,_ King; all-powerful, all-mighty, all-just. * 1 All countries and all nations are His. And some day He will come to claim His I own. TWD forces govern the actions of men—one for good, the other for evil. In the King's domain these forces have always contended for supremacy. The King needs men to fight for His cause. Men who see the right and unflinchingly meet the duties that right imposes— men who sink self in the effort to make the life that they will leave to the succeeding generation a life worthy of that generation—men who think things through, and not afraid to stand by their convictions. The King has instituted on earth a source where man may renew his strength during his fight for the right. Evil is powerful and sometimes it breaks through when we think ourselves best prepared. The source of this strength is the church. There we are in Divine communication with the King and through His services receive strength for the ever-recurring battle within our selves. Self having been conquered, we will be in a position to help the King in His world-wide fight for the right. The King needs women too—motherly women who in the home lay the right foundations which adequately prepare for life's later struggles. The Church is the place to enlist in the King's fight for right—here is received the strength and courage for the struggle.

At the same time we I should he cautious in proclaiming the .good news. The Germans want re pose. The German prisoners 1 have J seen are deadheat and their case is : j general, it therefore is possible that the German commanders will, if they I can, remain content to hold the allies at hay for a time. Having cleared themselves from the dangerous coun try and northwest of Paris, they are In much better territory for .lust such defensive wr rk. Further, they have effected their Junction. I venture this suggestion because there is a cessa tion of the heavy battering ram efforts which have characterized their efforts hitherto; they are also waiting for Maubeuge to fall. "Prisoners confirm reports that two Austrian army corps are operating with the Germans In France.
