Reformed and Orthodox and MANY
OF the ancient and medieval customs

Nom Kippur is observed according
to one OF the commandments in the
1--WE books OF Moses which says that
the tenth day of the seventh month.
according to the Jewish calendar the
people of Israel should aflict them
selves, by fasting, and that the priest
should atone for the sins of the peo-
pie. In the oldcn times when the
Jews lived in Palestine the observance
OF 1om kippur was mostly made by
the high priest and while the people
also observed the occasion the priest
made sacrifices and prayer to God to
forgive the sins of the people of Is
rael. The sacrifices are not now
made but they pray and fast the en-
tire day Yem kippur terminates the
ten days OF Repentance, the time be-
