THE HEBREW DAY OF ATONEMENT.-This
solemn festival terminated at o'clock last
evening. During the day al the places Of
business kept by Hebrews were closed, and
the Bynagogues were open nearly all day
for.the worship of Almighty God.
Yom Kippur is the stlictest fast observed
by the Israclitcs, and nothing was eaten by
The devout from o'clock Tuesday evening
to the same hour last evening.
The ordinance for lis observance is TO be
found in the twcnty-third chapter of Le-
yiticus, where all the Jewish festivals arc
cnioined. According to tradition the Iom
Kippur was a day Of atouement and par
don before the giving of the law: Abra-
ham entered into the covenant on this day.
Moses, after he had broken the two tablets,
reascended the mount on the lst Of Ellul +;
so that forty days expired with Iom Kip
pur, on which the Lord pardoned his peo-
pie and revealed his thirteen attributes.
It is day when rich and poor, penetrated
alike with q sentiment of their unworthi-
ness, bow in the dust before the Lord,
where the wise man considers not his judg-
ment as shield, nor the wealthy his large
possessions as protection, but when all,
with one accord of heart and voice, ex-
claim, Pardon, 0 Lord, according to Thy
great mercies, the sins of Thy people, and
of the stranger that dwellteh among
them"

been adopted by the Roman Catholics as
part of their regular machinery of incubation
and training; and they are pushing it with an
energy and success which proves them apt
scholars, and nowise averse to novelty when
point is to be made by it. If any child in
New York lacks religious instruction, the fault
is its parents or its own.
We hold, therefore, thatit is unnecessary and
unwse to dispense or redistribute our Common
School pupils in accordance with the dogmatlc
or ecclesiastical leanings of their parents re-
spectivey-that the inconvenience and cost OF
so doing would immensely oyerbaance its ben
efts. We should need far more schools; yet
our children would have to travel much further
to reach one of the preferred theological STRIPE
than at present. We do not decide that sound
ness of faith is of little cOnsequence-tar IRON
it; we only insist that provision is already
made for theological instruction apart from our
Common Schools, and that there is no need OF
making such provision within them. The
Roman Catholic and the Protestant coincide
with respect to spelling and grammar; the lrihl-
tartan and the Unitarian are III perfect ac
cord rs to Mathematics, at least IN Their april
cation to all mundane affairs. Then why not
allow them to read and cyHher from the same
textbooks on week days, and learn theology
in their respective churches and Sunday Schools
on the Lords day. This seems to us the die
tate of economy, convenience and good sense
III. At present, the reading of brief extract
from the Christian Scriptures is part OF the
daily routine in our schools; the Catholic
version being used where Catholics pred0ml-
nate. Hebrews and other Christians might
plausibly object TO this as unfair, yet we have
never heard of their doing so; and the late
Archbishop Hughes vehemently protested that
he had been falsely accused of Directing to
the Bible in schools If the Bible is made n
Protestant Shibboleth, the true way for Cath
oics to defeat this is to disclaim any unwilling
ness on their part to have 1t read ana TINS
they generally do. We presume no single
child was ever converted from the Catholic TO
any Protestant faith, or Uice versa, by the use
made of the Bible in our schools.
We appeal to men of intelligent, liberal
minds. of any and every creed, to stand by our
Common School system, and not allow 1t to be
pulled to pieces. AS republican people, we
really cannot afford it. If human experience IS
not blind guide, a people cannot and Will not

schools directed and managed by forty diverse
sacerdotal corporations Let the friends OF de-
nominational schools show us a great country
