THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Peace Made With God and Man
by the Hebrews.
psilsdslphis Times.

Not q morsel Of food or q drop Of
water will be partaken of for twen-
ty-four long hours BY religious
Israelites who have attained their
thirteenth year. The fast began at
sunset last night and will continue
until 8 p. m. to-day. Children be-
tween the ages Of six and thirteen
years will have 10 abstain from food
and drink until moon.
lt Is the Day Of Atonement, the
most solemn holiday in the Hebrew
calendar. Although some OF the
Jewish faith may not attend services
Of the synagogue at any time during
| the rear and care nothing for and
take no part in the religious obssr-
vsnces, all proceed TO the sacred
edifces on Atonement Day. Some
| are Israelites in name, but not In
faith, but on The day Of all days
each individual studiously inquiries
into his private and personal con-
Germs and, throwing aside the man
tie that hides his faults, strives TO
uncover his vices and 10 remove
them from him. OF course there
are O few who are up in arms against
the mother religion that bore them
and protected them, but they ara
few and far between,
The Day Of Atonement i in a
measure the test Of Israel's fidelity.
Those who fail 10 respond 10 its call
can bave but little left Of the religi-
ous instincts Of the Jewish people.
The words ordaining the fast, And
ye shall afiict your souls" not only
include that one idea Of bodily sui
fenng, but by che stymoiogy Of
the words, signify also that the
faster is 10 humble himself in spirit
before his Creator.
Before sndearoring 10 make peace
with God, peace must be made with
man. Any one who has been sin.
ned against must be appeased.
Enemies must be made friends. All
possible amends must be made. A
contrite heart Is not 10 be worn as
q mask only for the Day Of Atone
meat. Penitence, TO be efectual at
all, must be followed bra pure life
hereafter.
