comes Announcement with The God,

preme Infinite Spirit of Life, Truth,
Love. first conceived, adored and worz
shipped by Abraham and his descen-

by Hohim.
ON the cross Jesus, called the Christ,
in his dying words said: ELI, Eli,
lamma sabactham?" That is, MY God,
my God, why hath thou forsaken me?'
The Spiritual God, Jehovah, of the
Jews, is accepted by all Christians. 1t
was the Spirit, the mind, thought,
deeds in Jesus of Nazareth, which is the
God to worship and not the man of
flesh and blood. When intelligent men
learn to drop material things and read,
think and act on moral, ethical and
spiritual principles, and especially keep
in mind Jesus definitions: God is a
Spirit, they hat worship him, must
worship in spirit and truth" there may
soon come a unity of religious thought
and worship between the Jews and
Christians.
Yom Kippur is to the Jews what
Easter is to the Christians when was
impressed the immortality of the soul
and the good Spirit, God Spirit with
man. This will be the greatest Yom
Kippur, because Palestine has been re-
deemed from infidel control and unity
of Jewry has been brought about as
never before as the result of the World
