Yom Kippur, says the Hebrew, was OBJ
| served by our coreligOnsts in the custom
airy manner, the synagogues and different
| places OF worship being crowded. The ser
| mons and services were characterized by de-
| votion and earnestneSs worthy of the occa-
| sion. The abstention from business rem
dered the day dead and dull in commercial
| regions and circles, and the abste ntion from
food, save among the gilded youth and
others of the hypoeritical or free-thinking
classes, prepared the body for pious
thoughts. Let us hope that the day has
borne fruit which will be visible during the
year.
