Giving Advice.

There was time that men usurped the rights of others of humanity and gave out to them such portions of the Bible and other knowledge and made the oppressed and ignorant call them blessed. and at the same time these priests and demagogs lived as friends on earth, eating the fats and bibbine the red spirits of iniquity.
 Then came a revolution and world wide uprising for liberty. both of body and conscience, out of which matched protestantism in churches and repub- lies in government, which two new in stitutcns gave room for individual thought and action. and opened in the new dawn world wide development, which to-day forces the world along al incalculable speed.
 But while the day of monitors and arbiters are over, yet there are those to-day who, without pay or apprecia- ton, tirelessly give advice to those who never hear them. The one advised may be succeeding; the one advising may have never succeeded in anything but in 'faifng to succeed.
 A man who is always giving advice. needs some advice. The advice that is best is that which is sought, not the "haprandum free chin music. The advice that is worth while is not often spoken-it is lived.
 The person whose advice is sound, is the person who is too busy to give advice, unless sought. The person who should give counsel, is he who has first spoken counsel in his actions.
 We should seldom give advice, un- less fl = as..o., a.lu then sought.
 When a wise man Is asked to give advice, he will say consider the ant and her ways. or the man wonder wnc has arisen to the heights, CT the rict reward of some individual fortune. He does not point you to some pro- fessional adviser who has advised SC much. that he himself has never hac time to succeed--except in advi sing.
 About 90 per cent of advice giver with the mouth is useless. while % per cent of successful lives are copied studied, and followed.
 Capt. Jones was asked why he die not come out to hear Col. White lee ture. Capt. Jones reply was: "l dc not care.t hear the advice of a mar who has succeeded only in making a failure of everything.
 To-day, reader. you are measured by the life you represent, not by the sounding brass and tinkling symbol.
 Nine persons talk with their mouths where one talks with his brains. he brightest gold is not enticing when il lies between the jaws of fierce lion nor is precious advice known in the mouths of strangers.

DAY OF ATONEnENT.
Tom kippur Ends Period ofPenitence, Which Began With Rosh Hashana,
 Jewish New Year.

lueSQay al SundOVH, me OcWlSn Day of Atorement began and lasted until the setting of the sun Wednes- day Tom Kippur, as il is called in the Hebrew. is one of the most sol emn holidays that the tenets of Juda- ism prescribe and by most Jews. even those of the reformed congre- gations, it is observed as the most hallowed of fast days, All Jewish business houses close and the day is given over to devotion for il closes the cycle of ten days of penitence. which began with Rosh Hashana. During this period there is purifica- ton of the spirit and finally the soul is ready for reconciliation with the divine, for on this day the great act of judgment is symbolically closed, and the spiritual fate of the worship per is decided for the year. This idea is aptly shown by certain words in the prayers offered at Rosh Hash ana when the phrase, Record us, , Lord" occurs. At Tom Kippur. however. the petition is altered to. Seal us, o God, thus showing the first and last stages of the divine judgment Many of the strictly or thodox, remain in their temple all ! night and the whole of the next day. The following prayer which is incor- porated in the ritual is significant Of the Day Of Atonement; We will de- Icia.s the greatness and the holiness of this day, for thereon thy kingdom is exalted, thy throne established in mercy and thou juogest in truth. It is true that thou are the judge; thou reprovest; thou knowest all. thoy oearest witness, recoroes: and sealest thou also rememberest all things tha seem to be forgotten; and all that en
 ter the world must pass before thee even as the shepherd causes hi. sheep to pass under his rod. Thou inumberest and countest and visites, every living soul. appointest the limi- tations of every creature and record est the sentence Of his judgement how many are to pass away and to be born, who are to live and who to die who are to perish by water and whc oy fire. who by the sword and who by hunger. who are to be poor and who tc De rich, who are to be cast down and who to be lifted up. But repentance prayer and charity may avert the evi decree.
 The Biblical basis fer the observ- ance of Tom Kippur is found in Le- viticus, xxii-26: And the Lord spake unto Moses. saying. on the tenth day of the seventh month there shall be day Of atonement; it shall be an holy convocation with yol and ye shall afflict your souls. and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord and ye shall do no work in that same day. for it is a day of atonement
