A New Year Card for You.

Dear Boys and Girls,
Here we are, on the edge of a Hap-
py New Year! I hope it will be a
very happy and pleasant one for all
you, beginning with the very first
evening before its very first day.
Let's think of all the nice things
that are going to happen this Rosh
Ilashona. (That is the Hebrew name
for the holiday at the beginning of the
year.) First of all, at supper on the
evening before New Year's day, there
will be one or two jolly things. After
your father has recited the Kidilush,
he will give you a piece of bread. But
it won't be ordinary bread. There
will be honey on it, this time, to make
the New Year sweet! Also, there
will lie a new kind or fruit, one that
you have not yet tasted this season,
so that you can recite the blessing
for all New Things over it. (Perhaps
it will be a pomegranate,—one of
those wonderful fruits with a leath-
ery skin full of sweet, pink juice and
jelly-covered seeds. You read about
pomegranates in The Arabian
Nights' Entertainments." This fruit
is especially nice to have on Rosh
Ha-Shonah, because it grows in
Palestine.)
Then in the morning, when you put
on your new clothes and go to Syna-
gogue, you will hear the Shofar, the
trumpet made out of a ruin's horn,
blown three times. That is a sign to
all Jews that the New Year has be-
gun. And after the service, your
mother will give you honey-cake
(which is dark brown, with almonds
in it!) and then you will have the
whole day, or even two days—if your
father believes in keeping Rosh Hash-
ona for two days—to play, and read,
and think in.
What will you think about? The be-
ginning of the new year is happy.
Your father and mother always try
to make it no Will the rest of the
new year be as successful and happy?
That
It's up to you to make it so.
is something to think about. Think
hard, and then when the holiday is
over, write an essay for the Happy
New Year Competition and send it
to your friend,
JUDITH ISII-KISIIOR.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR" CONTEST

Write an essay on this subject:
"What I want the New Year to
Bring." The best essay will be
printed in "The Sabbath Angel" for
everybody to read. Send in your
essays by October 14, and make them
as nice as you can!

Blessing for Rosh Hashons
(And all new things)

Blessed art thou, 0 God our King,
The Lord of life and everything,
Who kept and brought us all the way
Alive and strong until today.

Rhymes," by Jessie Sampter. Bloch

CHARLIE'S DISCOVERY

By Samuel Roth.

When Charlie came home front
school, his mother was in the midst
of the preparations before Rosh
Hashona. Charlie knew there was
still a good hour before it would be
time for him to change into his hal--
day clothes, so he flung his hooks in-
to a corner and took a stroll up toe
block. Near the candy store Micky
met him. NI icky seemed excited
about something.

"Say, Charlie," he shouted, slap-
ping him on toe shoulder. "I lust
came from Mangoi Street. The boys
spotted a pushcart of peaches. Want
to come and see the fun'"
"Sure," said Charlie, "Come along."
There was a crowd of youngsters
around the pushcart when Charlie
and Mickie came up. Most Of the
crowd, like Micky, were not Jews;
and most of them, like Mick, were not
friendly to peddlers. At any rate
not to the Jewish peddlers. Charlie
stood aside and watched how the ped-
dler tried very hard to cover his cart
in the usual manner before going
home, and how, occasionally, one of
the boys who was standing aside and
making fun of hint, sneaked up be-
hind him and snatched a peach out
of the cart. glades thought he saw
tears in the eyes of the peddler and
he said to himself:
"If I were a grown-up man, I
wouldn't he a peddler; but if I were
a peddler, I wouldn't let the boys
tease me that way." And Charlie
turned away with disdain and walked
off by himself.
When he reached home, his mother
was waiting to help him into his new
clothes. His father had long since
gone to Schule (synagogue.) The
preparations fo the family did not
take long. Charlie's mother, Charlie,
and little Leah arrived at the Schule
just in time for the opening of the
service. Charlie's mother and Leah
went upstairs among the women. So
Charlie, a prayer-book in his hand,
pushed his way through the congre-
gation in search of his father.
The Schule was crowded, and Char-
lie found the search rather difficult,
for many of the worshippers had their
talesim (praying shawls) over their
heads, so that the forehead was quite
hidden.
He peered from one face into the
other and suddenly stopped short.
His eyes rested on the reading desk,
and on the tall figure of the leader of
the congregation that swayed before
it. Charlie didn't see the face of the
reader, but something in the rising
and falling of his hands, in the great
moving of his body, brought Charlie
to a sudden stop.

Charlie stood fascinated. As in a
dream, he imagined that the leader
was not merely leading the prayers
of the congregation; behind the tall
yellow lights of the reading desk
stood the Great Judgment Seat of
which Charlie had heard so much,
and before it, this nian seemed to be
asking God for justice.
Fur a long time Partin watched the
figure at the reading desk and listened
to the deep, thrilling valet. Charlie
decided in his heart that the man at
the reading desk must be one of those
holy men from Palestine about whom
he heard at Hebrew School. Ile looked
as though he might be a great
pn phet.
As the opening prayer came to a
close, Charlie drew nearer and nearer
to' the Reader, for he discovered his
father only a little distani• away
from him. As he approached slowly,
the man at the reading desk suddenly
turned his face from the Eastern
Wall, and turned towards the congre-
gation. And Charlie paused amazed.
Ile couldy hardly believe his eyes. It
was the face of the peddler! Charlie
drew back.
For several minutes he could not
even think, so stocking was the dis-
covery. Again and again he peered
into the face of the reader, but there
was no mistake about it. It was the
sante man from whom he hail turned
aside so proudly only a few hours be-
fore. Charlie remained at his fathr's
side throughout the rest of the pray-
ers. There was deep shame in his
heart, and even Leah could nut get
a smile out of him that evening.
Before he fell asleep that night,
Charlie decided that in future he
would not make up his mind about any
Jew, or judge him, until he had seen
him in Schule at the services for Rush
Ilashona and Yom Kippur.

RIDDLE BOX

5. The car is in a rut; how can
we go on?
I promised last week to help Vera
Finkelstein, who does not go to Sab-
bath School, and to give her a few
hints for solving our puzzles. But I
ant trying to work out a better plan
than that, and I need a little more
time to think it over. Will you wait
until next week, Vera?—I just want
you to know that I am thinking of
you.

The Answer to the Portmanteau
Puzzle.
Did any of you find out what names
were packed in the Portmanteau':
Let's see.
1. A son of Jacob and the first man.
We have to find the son of Jacob
whose name tits together with the
name of the first nian. Now who was
the first man?—Adam. Right. And
when you go through the names of
the sons of Jacob, from Reuben ,down
to Benjamin, you find that the only
one that fits into Adam, is Gad. To-
gether they make the portmanteau
name, "Gadam." See?
2. A prophet in the time of Saul,
and a prophet who went to heaven
without (lying. The great prophet in
Saul's time was Samuel. And the

make "Samuelijah." Right first time!
Now since that was a hard puzzle,
I'm going to give you an easy acres-
tic, for Miriam Tamar Malakoff, and
other boys and girls like her who are
not advanced enough yet for the
harder riddles. I think you other boys
and girls will find this quite easy.

1. The man in the Ark.
2. The Father of Isaac.
3. The book of the Law.
4. The Sian whom Queen Esther de-
feated.
6. The beat which escaped the
flood.
