Evening Mt q O'Clock.

Hebrews everywhere will begin today
at p. IN. the observance of the Day of
Atonement. otherwise known as 'Yom
Kippur." Il will conclude at o'clock
tomorrow evening.
The day is one of fasting. prayer, and
spiritual Improvement. During the whole
twenty-four hours Hebrews abstain from
all business pursuits. all pleasures, and
all things generally tending to distract
their minds from the holiness of the day.
In the Old Testament the Day of Atone
ment is designated as the Sabbath of
Sabbaths." II is the holiest of all holy
days in the Jewish year The idea under
lying The festival is that Gods infinite
mercy extends even to the deepest-fallen
sinner, forgiving him his transgressions
as soon as he seeks reconciliation with his
Heavenly Father, with his fellow-men
and returns TO the path OF virtue and
righteousness.
In the book of Leviticus it is written:
"a sabbath of rest it shall be unto you
and We shall affiict your souls" BY the
term ''afiiict your souls. >" Jewish tradition
says, is meant to fast. The Day of Atone
ment is the only fast day ordained in the
Mosaic law
