YOM HAKIPURIM.
Synopsis Of Two Interesting Lectures
Delivered by Rabbi Samfield
at the Temple.
The Most sacred Day in the Jewish
Calendar-The Manner of its
Observance.

The Jewish Day Of Atonement, Yom
Haki Purim, which was ushered in at 6
O'Clock Wednesday evening, terminated at
the same hour yesterday evening. 1t is re-
garded as the hottest of all the year. En-
phatically termed in the Bible the Sabbath
of Sabbaths, it imposes upon the Hebrews
the most serious obligations, for not only
mustthey abstain from all worldly occupa-
tons but also from all physical enjoyments.
Increased devotional exercises, fervent
prayer, a conscientious retirement from
the outer world, a rigid determination
and an earnest and sincere atonement
are the characteristics of the holy day.
The institution of the Day of Atonement
is founded upon the weakness and power
of an-up his weakness because
man is a human being, and is liable to
the failings of frail mortality; upon his
power because man is formed in the image
of God and partakes in a degree of His
divine essence, combines spirit with mat
ter, and is capable of subduing his mate
rial yearning by the strong will of his
spirit.
The Day of Atonement exemplifies three
essential beliefs of Judaism; First-Re-
p%entance is necessary to everyone, be-
cause there is no one so good as not at
some time to commit sin. Second-God
is gracious, all merciful and forgiving. He
desires not the death OF the wicked, but
rather that they may return to Him and
live, therefore He pardons the truly re-
pentant sinner and opens to him the gates
of eternal salvation. Third-Man needs
no mediator to 90 between him and his
God, he, and he only, must and can atone
for his sins by r%epenting and amending
his course of conduct. Therefore are these
two great holy days, New Year and Day
Of Atonement, regarded by Jews in every
part of the world with the greatest rever-
erence, not because they think or believe
that God is nearer to them on these
days than at any other time in the
year, but because they feel that these
institutions contain the genuine spirit
OF religion, and by removing themselves
for the time being from the thoughts and
actions Of the world they are brought
nearer to God, by which means they will
gain additional strength to conquer the
desire, of the body to elevate the qualities
of the soul and thus approach that state
of perfection which is the highest pinnacle
OF godliness and OF supreme felicity.

was referred the letter of Chief Cleary was
as follows:
To the Honorable Legislative Council;
GENTLEMEN-Referring to the commune
cation of the chief of the FIRE Department,
which was referred to us at your meeting
October 4th for report, W. have given the
matter careful consideration and have
concluded to submit the existing facts to
you and let your wisdom unravel the ways
and means of granting his request, in part
The department had a cash balance to
their credit on October LIST of S76S6 10,
with very little more revenue to be ex-
pected, for, as you know, delinquent tax
lists are not to be counted on. The neces-
sary running expenses of the department
for October, November and December

leaving out all unexpected expenses, such
as new horses, etc, will be $4,000 per
month, making the cost from October LIST
to January 1st $4,000, thus showing a def
icit already of Sl3l3 So. The chief asks
us to furnish him with three new COM
panies and engines, 80 new hydrants,
$500 feet of new hose for the present
companies and Il general overhauling of
the fire-alarm system and a great many
new boxes, and to increase each present
company to nine men. While our per-
sonal feelings are in favor of the -compli-
ance with this request in part, we must
look at the cost and determine where the
money is to come from to foot the bills.
