The Day OF Atonement is the holiest

biblical designation is Yom ha- Kip

According to biblical tradition, it is
one of the cycle OF holidays instituted
by Moses.
However, 4he Day OF Atonemcnt is
not dependent on the sacrificial serv-
ice prescribed IN the Bible. Thus. after
the destruction of the Temple in the

ishcd, tho Day OF Atonement was able
to survive, and OF all the holidays Of
tho Jewish calendar 1t has most com :

biblical ceremonial. confession contin-
ues to be an important feature of the
service; yet, while confession brings
| forgiveness of sins between man and
his Maker, sins between man and man
are not forgiven until redress is made

Day, therefore, becomes the occasion
for the cessation of feuds and ill-will
And the Day of Atonement is known
as the Sabbath of Sabbaths-when ono

GOULLET TO MEET
REGGIE MCNAMARA
Blond Australian Cyclist Will
Tackle Countryman in Pur-
suit Contest.
TO FINISH AMATEUR RACE

With the exception of the Frank
Kramer-Bob Spears match, the entire
card of races that was postponed last
Sunday at the yelodrome on account
of rain will be run the coming Sun
day. In the place of the Kramer
Spears match, match that will in all
probability be as interesting. will be
substituted. ALI Goullet, the blond
Australian, who was the unpaced
marvel three years ago, and who
moved 'em all down from Kramer
down, will meet Reggie MCNAMARA,
the recent victor over ALI Grenda,
in an unlimited pursuit race,
On the old six-lap track. across the
street from the present Velodrome,
ALT Goullet really made q name for
himself and was without @ doubt the
peer of all the unpaced men, and
only Billy Fem himself could have
beaten him during that season, aRd
Fem would have to be right. Gouliet
defeated them all and was proclaimed
the unpaced king.
Last season ALI Grenda, the tall
Tasmanian. was the king, and he rode
the best of them down In this style
of racing. Only recently Reggie Me-
Namara, also a native of the Anti
podes. met Grenda in a pursuit race
and passed the big fellow In six miles.
Although Goullet has not been per-
forming as well as.he would like to
lately, he fancies himself in this kind
of a race, and the contest will no
doubt prove to be a strenuous one,
as the others have proven to be.
The remaining heats of the profess
sional handicap, the Kaiser McDou-
gall match, one-third and two-miie
handicap for the amateurs and the
twenty-five national champion
ship for the professionals, completes
the card. the last of the season.
