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.

Four Big Mass Meetings Will
Be Held in Interest of Cam
paign Tomorrow
With the arrival of F. 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. Gough, county controller, will •
preside at this meeting. C. R. Engle i'
will lead the singing. Meetings will '
also he held in the Park Street United 1 1
Evangelical Church, Sixteenth and'
Park streets, and In the Lemoyne I'
I'nited Evangelical Church. P. A. '
Roberts will make the address in the.
Park Street Church, following his talk I
in the St. Paul's Church: J. E. Her- '
rold, Shamokin, and J. E. Musscr, of !
the same city, both trail hitters dur

The King Needs Men
Over all the world there reigns a . ' 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

themselves from the dangerous coun

In much better territory for .lust such

effected their Junction. I venture this
suggestion because there is a cessa

Maubeuge to fall.

German Forces May
Be Drawing Allies Into
Prepared Position
By Associated Press
London, Sept. 12, 4.58 a. m. The
Paris correspondent of the Express
thinks that there is a distinct possi
bility of a German attack by the ex
treme right of their artny coming to
wards Paris from the south of
Amiens.
The masses of the German armies
seem not to have been seriously en
gaged thus far, he says. They came
very close to Paris and are now be
| ing pushed hack with great ease by
I the British army, and it may be that
their object Is to draw the allied
forces toward the east, thus removing
them from Paris and exposing them
to the danger of running their heads
into a prepared position.

The Germans are reported as demor

"The half-starved prisoners raven
ously devoured beef and biscuits sup

"During the tight fifty British cy
clists. from the cover of a small wood,
wiped out 150 of the enemy's c.ai -
airy. The allies' losses were severe,
but they are as nothing in comparison
to those of the enemy, who is now
retreating north of the Marne and
